There are several ways in which an implant can be inserted. The most common method is through an incision just under the breast in the crease where the breast meets the chest wall. This is called an inframammary incision. The incision scar is well hidden in the skin fold or bra line. The implant may also be inserted through the nipple and areola (peri-areolar incision), or through an incision in the armpit.
» Breast Implant	:	Breast implants are high quality medical devises made with silicone which is a bio-compatible material that is used for many years in medicine. It is also used in artificial joint replacements, cardiac pacemakers, and syringes, in addition to hundreds of products that we come into contact with every day, including food, plastic products, clothing and even the furniture we sit on. Silicone is the best material because it is the least reactive, soft and durable. Long years of research and usage has proved them to be safe.

Breast Augmentation Testimonials

I had wanted bigger better looking breasts for as long as I can remember. I was very unhappy with the way my breasts used to look. They were a regular size but the problem was that there was a bad sag to them. Every time I looked at them, my self confidence plummeted. I really hated the way I looked in clothes, especially in T-shirts. In spite of wearing under wired bras, the sag was still quite visible. I had put on a considerable amount of weight as an adolescent and then lost it all too quickly. Not only did I get stretch marks, I also lost quite a lot of the good fat from my breasts. Not a very good thing according to me.
After thinking very hard, I decided that the only course of action for me would be to opt for cosmetic surgery. Though I was quite daunted by the idea, I was still quite keen on doing something about the problem instead of thinking all my life.

I started looking up all the information that I could get on the internet. Believe me when I say that I got really boggled down with the amount of information that I could gather from there. I read as much as could. I also read about peoples ideas about fake breasts. Though there were lots of people saying lots of things, the majority of women who had undergone the operation were quite satisfied with the way they looked after the operation. Also the partners of these women were also quite happy with the way their partner now looked. I was really worried that they might look fake.

I was looking online for a good doctor and that too somebody from my city as I didn't want to go out of station. I fixed up appointments with three doctors whose names I do not want to reveal. I had done my research about Dr. Kumar online and I was quite impressed by his credentials.

In spite of reading up about Dr.Kumar, I was still quite apprehensive the first time I met him. But after speaking to him for just five minutes I was put at ease. I spent nearly half an hour asking him different questions regarding the operation, whether the sag can be corrected, what size implants I need to achieve the look I desired, about the anaesthesia, the side effects, the healing process and finally the pricing. After we had discussed in detail and at length about each and every aspect of the surgery, we set a date for the surgery.

I had almost a week before the surgery and I had ample time to research some more and that's what I did. There were times when I felt unsure about some aspect of the surgery or the surgery itself. I cleared my doubts by messaging Dr. Kumar. He always answered my questions as soon as possible. This helped immensely in allaying my fears. We had decided on 400cc Mentor silicon implants and I was told by Dr. Kumar that initially they will look bigger but once they settle they will look normal.

The day of the surgery arrived and i was very apprehensive which Dr. kumar could realise and immediately allayed my fears. The surgery was completed and i woke up to see a different me. I thank Dr. Kumar for all his efforts for the good result.

Thanking you !

Breast Reduction

The breast is reduced by removing a part of the mammary gland and extra skin. The nipple is normally also reduced and placed higher on the breast. This leaves a circular scar around the nipple area with a line down to the breast crease. In time, these scars will lighten and become less noticeable. There are several different methods for the procedure. The surgeon will discuss them with you to help you choose the best option.

For young girls:

Girls, who have developed large breast at an early age, can undergo lipo-sculpture to reduce the breast and stop the growth of the mammary gland. Thus, when caught in time, breast reduction surgery with large scars can be avoided.

For men:

Excess mammary gland tissue is removed by keyhole surgery, and in some cases, combined with lipo-sculpture. Through a small incision (2cm) in the nipple area, small instruments are brought into the body which allows the surgeon to remove the mammary gland by releasing it carefully from the skin and muscle.

Risk Factor

In some cases, the feeling and sensitivity is temporarily decreased after a nipple correction. Although this may be permanent and it generally returns after a few months.

Permanent loss of feeling in the nipple, resulting in loss of the whole nipple or part of the nipple, is caused by problems with circulation. Smoking is an immediate cause. Smokers can lower their risk by stopping three weeks before surgery and three weeks after. Permanent loss of feeling and circulation problems is uncommon. In high-risk patients the surgery technique may be modified to limit these risks. In general, complications are rare and you will have many years of pleasure with your breast correction.

Recovery Period

The breasts are heavily bandaged immediately following a breast lift or breast reduction surgery. Under each bandaged breast is a drainage tube for discharge of blood and fluid. The tubes are removed after a few days.

We advise you to wear a wireless bra during the day and night for a few weeks after the surgery. Wait until after the surgery to purchase one.

The sutures are generally removed two weeks after the surgery. After a week, daily activities can be resumed, while it is best to wait three weeks with more intense work.
