Breast Augmentation in Dubai (or “boob job “as it is colloquially known) is one of today’s most popular aesthetic treatments. We comprehend that the option to change your body needs to be made with complete certainty, from whether it’s the proper decision for you to how the surgery truly works and what recovery looks like. Breast augmentation is one of the most common procedures for women to enhance their figures, improve their body image, and boost their self-confidence today more than ever.
Created to enhance the size, shape and fullness of a woman’s breast by inserting implants behind each breast, Breast Augmentation is perfect for anyone who wants to enlarge naturally small breasts, restore size and shape (particularly after pregnancy, weight loss or breastfeeding) or correct breast symmetry. And this isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ solution – in fact, a number of different options and techniques ensure the most perfect results for you.
Breast implants can be saline or silicone and come in a number of shapes and sizes. Our surgeons usually recommend highly-cohesive silicon implants so if the implants are cut in half, the silicon remains safely within the casing. Manufacturers of these implants usually now provide lifetime warranties because of the quality. There are also a number of incision options which depend on factors including the size you’re aiming for plus choices on the placement of the implant too. Our surgeons will discuss every option with you at length prior to surgery and will evaluate your health and explain which surgical methods are best for you based on the conditions of your breasts and skin tone.
To help you visualize your possible new physique we can also use technology to show you how your breasts and silhouette will appear after the treatment.
Intravenous sedation is used during the process to ensure that there is no pain and that you are asleep throughout.
On average breast augmentation surgery lasts between 1 and 1.5 hours depending.
The breast surgery will take place in the hospital of your surgeon’s recommendation. This will depend on availability and the type of procedure being carried out. Our patients will return home the same day but our team our nurses and doctors will carry on the post-op care in our clinic.
You will receive detailed instructions on how to get ready for surgery, including instructions on what to eat and drink, limitations on smoking, and whether or not to take certain vitamins and medications. In the week before your breast augmentation procedure, we advise you not to take any medications containing aspirin as they affect the blood clotting ability in the body as this will lead to excessive bleeding during the surgery. We also ask patients to avoid large amounts of garlic, alcohol and high doses of Vitamin E. If you’re a smoker, ensure that you stop at least 2 weeks before your surgery and don’t start again for at least 2 weeks thereafter as smoking constricts the blood vessels and capillaries affecting the overall healing process. Avoid overexposure to the sun, especially on the abdomen, and avoid astringent diets, since both can impair your ability to recover.
If you catch a cold or get an infection of any type, notify the surgeon immediately, since your operation may need to be rescheduled.
You’re likely to feel tired and sore for a few days following your breast augmentation surgery, particularly when the arms are moved, but you’ll be up and around and will return the same day after the surgery and will return to light routines within 24 to 48 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by medication, which you will be given.
On the day of discharge, you will be given an information sheet and be asked to attend to have your dressing removed one week after the operation. At that appointment, the dressings will be removed by a nurse and the wound checked. You will then be permitted to shower but it is inadvisable to soak in the bath for at least 3 weeks. The stitches are removed at 2 weeks. You will be checked by your surgeons at various stages of the post-op recovery which will also include 1 month, 3 months or 6 months but any stage where there are concerns, your surgeon will see you to check.
Surgery can improve your body image and self-esteem but it is a big decision and one we want to help you make with confidence and with an understanding of your individual goals and circumstances. To discuss your options with Dr Maurizio Viel or any of our other cosmetic surgeons, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a consultation.
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, involves using implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts or restore breast volume that has been lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. Typically fat only allows the increase of volume by one cup size and implants create choice for the volume.
It is placed over the muscle therefore the patient will still be able to breastfeed post-surgery.
Ideal candidates are those in good health, have realistic expectations, and wish to improve the size and shape of their breasts. It’s important for patients to discuss their medical history and goals with our plastic surgeon, Dr Maurizio Viel, to determine suitability.
The incision is about 3 to 5cm and is placed below the breast on the crease line. This area usually heals well and not obviously seen.
The breast augmentation surgery will be conducted under sedation (this is not tone confused with general anaesthesia), and it usually takes 1 to 2 hours. Sedation is a medical process used to help a patient relax, reduce stress and discomfort, and sometimes induce partial or full unconsciousness during medical procedures. Patients don’t usually have any memory of the procedure. The patient will recover in 2 to 3 hours before discharge. This also depends on how fast the recovery of the patient is.
Our cosmetic surgeon, Dr Maurizio Viel, will first assess your breast to decide which are the best breast implants. Typically, we use the new generation of silicone implant, which is made with elastic, soft and cohesive silicone gel (There is no leakage if you cut in half). These implants now have a lifetime warranty from the manufacturers and don’t have to be changed every 10 – 15 years but you should always visit your surgeon to be assessed every few years.
It is required that the patient will bring a non-wired, cotton bra to wear post-surgery. The size depends on the increase of the breast size from the current size. Patient should wear it for 1-month post-surgery.
The first change of dressing will be done 5 days after the surgery, the second would be on the 10″ day. Stitch removal is done on the 14% day post-surgery.
The patient should come back on the first, second and third month post-surgery for follow-up appointments with the surgeon.
It can be done on the 4* or 5′” day post-surgery. However, the patient needs to make sure that the incision will not get wet.
It usually takes 5 to 7 days. They can resume to work after 1 week and can resume non-strenuous exercise 3 to 4 weeks after the surgery. The level of difficulty in exercising must be done gradually.
Travelling and swimming can be done 2 weeks post-surgery when the stitches have been removed.
Patient can drive after 4 days and no lifting heavy things or children (for moms) for 1 month.
Breast augmentation will be done in the hospital. You’ll probably go home the same day. The procedure rarely requires a hospital stay. It can be done with local or general anaesthesia, plastic surgeon will review different anaesthesia options with you.
