Now Breast implant surgery has become one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures. Every woman has different anatomy and a different desire for the breast volume and shape. A wide variety of different types of implants are currently available to match their needs.
Medical science and device engineering has seen a lot advancement. So breast implant has become quite safe, Breast implant life is about 10to 12 years but one must remember that breast implant is not a life-long surgery. The patient usually needs second surgery down the line.
Breast implant design is based on only 4 Parameters:
- Size
- Shape
- Shell
- Filler
Size
Different size of the implants is available to match the patient’s desire and anatomy. The end volume of the breast is a total of patient breast native volume plus implant volume.
For long-lasting aesthetic breast shape, optimum volume implant to be selected. Optimum implant size is decided from the patient’s tissue characteristics like chest width, breast width, native breast volume, and skin characteristic.
Apart from the volume/size, there are only three design variables that describe each of these devices, i.e., shape, shell characteristics, and filling material. Understanding how these three variables mix and match allows the surgeon to choose best fit implant according to your desired breast shape and size..
Shape
Round Implants
The predominant shape incorporated into the design of a breast implant was classified as the round shape.
A “round” implant actually has a shaped aspect of its design. These implants are symmetrical in the horizontal and vertical dimensions; however, the projection tends to be less than the width or height of the device. The advantage is the height and width, which remains the same if the implant rotates inside as the shape doesn’t change. The disadvantage includes that if the upper pole convex is not covered by breast tissue properly, then the implant is felt from outside.
Anatomically Shaped Implants
What has been traditionally called an “anatomically shaped” implant is an implant shell being asymmetrically designed in the horizontal, vertical, and sagittal (projection) dimensions. It is also called as “tear drop implant”. The projection increases from the top of the device down to the lower third of the implant. Which is designed to mimic the contour of a normal breast in the upright position. It corrects the ptosis of breast better compared to the round implant.
Texture
The original silicone gel implants were constructed with a smooth surface. It has some problem of capsular contracture means hardening and distortion of the breast.
It was discovered that coating an implant with a layer of polyurethane foam resulted in a dramatic reduction in the rate of capsular contracture. However, the late degradation of polyurethane resulted in capsular contracture and other complications.
So, silicone texture was developed to reduce capsule formation. There are two basic textures are used in the vast majority of silicone and saline implants: Biocell and Siltex.
Recently there are variation of texture like micro texture and Nano texture implant are also available.
Advantages of the textured implant include the following:
- The device becomes immobile, a feature that is particularly useful when using anatomically shaped devices that must maintain the proper orientation.
- It is believed that the textured surface reduces the rate of capsular contracture, which was reported later as it’s been somewhat controversial; the good surgical technique is equally important to reduce the capsular contracture.
NOTE: Recently textured implant has been associated with ALCL (ACUTE LARGE CELL LYMPHOMA). ALCL is a low-grade curable lymph cancer and not associated with breast cancer as it occurs rarely. But smooth implant association with ALCL is not found.
Filler
There are several filler materials are used in the breast implants, i.e., hydrocolloid gel and peanut. But, only two fillers stood with the time called Saline fillers & Silicone gel fillers.
- Saline has obvious advantages as follow:
- Readily available
- Entirely physiologic, and inert, which is safe because if a saline implant gets ruptured as the saline is simply absorbed without sequelae.
- The implant can fill the device during surgery, which is useful to manage asymmetries in a very controlled fashion.
The Disadvantage includes the following:
- The low cohesiveness of saline results in a fluid-like water-balloon effect on the implant that can be seen and/or felt.
- Valve may fail and implant get deflated.
- B) Silicone gel has much more inherent cohesive, producing a softer, more natural feel to the implant. If the gel is less extensively cross-linked, leading to a looser consistency to the gel (left). If the gel cross-linked to a greater degree to create a firmer gel that is used to support the shell in anatomically shaped implants.
A greater degree of cross-linking of the silicone molecules give firmer consistency, which translates to better support for the anatomically constructed shell. Shape maintained during the upright position. It is called as form stable implant or gummy bear implant, less wrinkling at the upper pole and it has more sustainability.
Drawbacks include the following:
- It is less forgiving, so volume selection must be optimum because these implants come pre-filled and the volumes are limited to a defined schedule of choice.
- If the implant ruptures, the gel remains in the peri-implant space, and an operative procedure must be performed to remove the implant material.
Implant Design
Implant Shape
- Taking the three design variables into consideration— shape, shell characteristics,
and filling material— (That are of various types)
- Implant designs are available in two basic groups of implants that are commonly used today, i.e., round or anatomically shaped.
Round Implants
- All-round implants have a horizontal and vertical dimension that is symmetrical, but it differs in the projection.
- Most manufacturers offer round implants with three different projections a low, mid, and high projection for a given volume.
- For each given volume, as the projection of the implant increases, the base width of the device decreases.
- For instance, a patient with a tight skin envelope a moderate profile implant is a better option because it will fit beneath the skin envelope without crowding the space, creating a more comfortable relationship between the implant and the soft tissue and a more aesthetic and natural result. The PT will not be able to tolerate a high projection or high profile implant without creating tension at the apex of the device, results in surrounded out of the periphery implant makes it more prominent in terms of a rounded contour.
- Conversely, with a patient having loose laxity of the skin envelope, the better choice would be a high profile implant because it would more evenly fill out the loose and redundant skin envelope.
Beyond the issues related to projection, what the implant is filled with can dramatically affect its performance. Because of their relatively low level of cohesively, saline-filled implants must be filled to a greater degree than silicone gel implants to perform safely;
One disadvantage of this overfill strategy, is the more rounded contour of the overfilled round device. In thinner patients, this rounded contour can distort the breast, creating an artificial, augmented appearance.
Filling the round implant with silicone gel is more easily tolerated by the round implant shell. Here an under fill strategy can be used because the wrinkles that form are much softer and place less stress on the implant shell. The wrinkles are also less likely to become visible through the skin envelope. This, together with the overall softer feel of silicone gel-filled implants, makes them a preferred choice among many surgeons.
Anatomic Implants: Design Variations
The anatomically shaped implant has theoretical advantage in the context of creating an attractive breast contour. But if they rotate, then breast shape gets altered with the development of textured silicone surfaces.
This is an implant fixation method along with the anatomic concept for breast implants, and over the years, several different anatomic designs for both silicone and saline has been introduced.
TEXTURED short height anatomically shaped saline implants; textured, full-height anatomically shaped saline implant was developed for both augmentation and reconstruction. It was thought to be better suited for reconstruction because it could provide a better upper pole filler for the breast after the mastectomy.
The anatomically shaped textured cohesive silicone gel implant combined with a variable textured in order to provide an achievable outcome both in terms of augmentation/implantation and reconstruction.
The cohesive gel-filled anatomically shaped implant holds its shape when placed upright, whereas the saline device collapses in the upper pole, leading to the possible formation of visible or palpable wrinkles.
Combination Implants
Manufacturers have developed a series of combination devices in an attempt to combine the advantage of saline volume adjust ability with the soft feel of silicone, Generally, the outer lumen is developed a silicone gel filling material as well as inner lumen is filled with saline. The valve which passes through the outer gel component makes the access of the inner saline portion. This concept has also been explored in patients with volume adjust ability with the final desired size by adding saline as needed as post operatively, then eventually removing the remote port.
Although its use has limitations to a certain extent in daily aesthetic practice.
Undergoing any form of surgery is totally a personal choice and should not be done under someone’s influence, you need to take into consideration about your satisfaction and happiness you will get having desired breast size and shape.

The augmentation memoplasty surgery should be performed in an accredited surgical center or a hospital. This is for your safety..
If your procedure is performed on a day care basis, you should be accompanied by someone who will drive you home from the hospital or can stay with you on the day of the surgery.
A) On Admission at the Cosmetic Surgery Center
Please inform about:
- Recent illness like common cold, fever, urinary tract infection or any other seasonal illness
- Your medical ailments like blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, thyroid or any other illness
- Any ongoing medication
- Past history of any major illness, hospitalization, trauma, or surgery

- Will mark the operative area with your active participation. This is useful as guidelines in the procedure.
- Preoperative medications will be started.
- The preoperative formalities are done.
B) In the Operation Theater
Step 1 – Anesthesia
General aesthesia is administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure.
Step 2 – The Incision
Incisions are made in discreet areas so that scarring is not visible or is hidden under clothing. You and your plastic surgeon will discuss which incision options are appropriate for your desired outcome. Incision options include: along the areolar edge (peri-areolar incision), the fold under the breast (infra-mammary fold) and in the armpit (axillary incision). A belly-button approach (TUBA) is associated with a higher complication rate.
Incisions vary based on the type of mammoplasty surgery, degree of enlargement the desired, your particular anatomy, and the body type and patient-surgeon preference.
Step 3 –Breast Implant pocket creation
After the incision is made, a pocket/ space is created :
- Directly behind the breast tissue, over the pectoral muscle (a submammary/ sub-glandular placement), When native chest tissue is adequate to cover the implant.
- Subfacial pocket: pocket is created under the pectoral facia. It gives better tissue cover to implant than subglandular pocket.
- Sub muscular pocket: pocket is created behind muscle. It reduces capsular contracture but recovery is longer and implant deforms s on hand muscle action
- dual plane: After cutting pectoral muscle horizontally space is created behind the pectoral muscle. It is good method to correct ptosis with implant, reduces contracture and there is no deformity on animation. Muscle has to cut is its limitation.
Step 4 – Pocket irrigation:
Haemostasis is achieved. Through wash with saline given. Pocket is irrigated with antibiotics solution.
Step 4 – Implant placement: Implant is placed in pocket with no touch and very gentle technique. The method for inserting and positioning implants depends on the type of implant, degree of enlargement desired, your body and skin type and your surgeon’s recommendations.
Step 5 – Closing The Incisions
Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the tissue and skin, skin adhesive or surgical tape to close the skin. Sutures are inside and not visible on the outside and there is no need for removal.
Over time the incision lines will fade. The quality of the scar depends on many things, including your genetics, exposure of your body to nicotine and infection.
Step 6 – See The Results
The results of the augmentation procedure are immediately visible.
While the results can be seen with immediate effect after the procedure is completed, initially, implant might look higher on the chest and nipple might point downwards. It will settle in a month’s time, however, the final results may take a few weeks as the swelling subsides and the skin stretches. Some patients will have to wear the support bra to help shape their breasts, especially they have asymmetrical boobs or the size is too small. Incision marks will heal with the application of medicines and ointments provided by the surgeon.
Breast Implant Replacement
The selection of optimum size implants gives long term aesthetic results.
One should understand that the implant is not a lifetime procedure. One requires yearly screening test post-procedure and may require to change after a time.
Your breast size might change owing to aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal factors, and gravity. As the appearance of boobs changes with time, some patients have the option to choose from the breast lift or implant exchange to restore a more youthful contour and more youthful appearance.
Most women feel it’s worthy to go for the procedure.
- TAKE MEDICINE AS ADVISED
- DIET
Take as much liquid as possible once you are comfortable. We maintain our patients on a liquid diet on the day of surgery, which is subsequently advanced the following day to a soft regular diet .As such there is no restriction on diet, but to achieve better result and sound recovery, we recommend high protein, low fat and low carbohydrate diet. Please watch your weight. Try to stay 1-3 pounds lighter than your pre-surgical weight.
- POSITION
Keep the head of the bed elevated at an angle of 45 degrees to help maximise postoperative comfort. You can change your position and turn side by side. Keep your leg moving in bed
- PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Depending on the extent of the liposuction and individual tolerance, you are advised to walk as much as possible on the day of evening once you are conscious. One can do office like job in 2 to 3 days .One can do heavy gym and jerky activity in 2 weeks time. You can do cardio like activity in 7 to 10 days.
- RECOVERY
One will have numbness till the late evening on the day of surgery. Pain is easily managed by pain killers; one will feel like something is done, One will feel stretching and pain like stretching, or while changing position, it is normal. You will have soreness on pressing the operative site.
- LOCAL CARE
Usually we follow the open drainage technique. Injected tumescent fluid, residual fat, broken tissue will come out from the tiny punctures and it will be blood stained. So tissue reaction, swelling, bruising and pain will be less, and recovery will be faster. Amount and duration of the fluid discharge depends on the area of surgery and extent of fat removal. Normally it stops in a day or two. In case of mega liposuction, it may last longer. In the hospital sister will do dressing. And you will be taught how to take care of dressing before discharge. Mild bruising may occur for 3 weeks after surgery. If there is excessive bleeding or swelling or pain unrelieved by medication, please call the doctor immediately.
- PRESSURE GARMENTS
3 weeks -24 hours-can remove for bath and put back with seam on the outside
3 weeks-10 to 12 hours Avoid bending, Avoid wrinkle, wet cloth Tighten the cloth if it becomes loose
One may develop swelling distal to pressure garment on limb due to pressure, on removing
pressure garment for short time swelling will reduce. Wash in normal tap water. Don’t
squeeze-avoid drier and sunlight- don’t iron -don’t hang.
- BATHING
Take bath after discharge is stopped in running water i.e. Shower bath (No bath in Bath tub).Make area dry and covers the wound with bandage. You may wash and dry the garment at the same time when you are showering.
- RESULT
One can see huge the difference in shape immediate after surgery except in body sculpting liposuction, although it is a partial result. Initial 7 to 10 days, there is increase in swelling so result will be less visible. Over one month you will see most of the result as swelling reduces. Improvement in shape and skin tightening goes on for 6 to 8 month.
- FOLLOW UP VISIT
After the discharge ,you have to do postoperative visit at 3 days ,7 days ,15 days and then after 1 month.
- LONG TERM INSTRUCTIONS
It is advisable to visit the clinic at 3 and 6 months after the operation. Inform doctor, if swelling, redness pain, hardness KEEP WATCH FOR Redness, swelling, pain, fever, bleeding or discharge
Visit hospital immediately
Like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation surgery has also some risks and complications.
There are 2 most important factors that reduce the risk & complications mentioned below:
- Expert breast augmentation surgeon and
- Accredited cosmetic surgery center with an overnight facility
The risk of complications increases with large implant surgery or doing multiple procedures at the same operation session.
A) Breast Augmentation Surgery Specific Complications:
- Bleeding: it is very rare as, breast augmentation done with special lighted retractors
- Infection:Surgical site infection is rare but possible. May need to remove implant. One can go reimplantation after 6 months
- Fluid accumulation: Accumulation of fluid is called a seroma. Small seroma gets absorbed by itself.
- Contour irregularities: Skin may look irregular, bumpy, or wavy due to too tight pocket creation, poor healing, or thinly stretched skin. These changes may be permanent. Even difficult to reduce with revision
- Numbness: One may have temporary or permanent numbness in the operative hyperaesthesia due to temporary nerve irritation is also possible.
B) Long Term Complication
- Capsular contracture: Tissue surrounding implant reacts strongly and become thick fibrous layer. Capsule contracture may deform implant or make it hard and painful. One may require revision surgery
Improved asepsis and tissue hygiene and no touch technique have reduced contracture incidence significantly
- Implant leak or rupture: with newer generation of implant it is very rare. May require implant replacement
- ALCL (Acute Large Cell Lymphoma): It is lymphoid tissue cancer not a breast cancer. It is a very slow progressive and treatable condition. It is associated with textured implant. Till date association with smooth implant is not found
C) Anaesthesia Related Complications:
Small reaction to major reaction or fluid imbalance can happen. And it is rarest rare death can happen
Your breasts will be wrapped in gauze dressings. An elastic bandage or support bra will be provided that will help to minimize swelling and support the boobs during the healing process.
Immediately after the procedure, you will be taken into a recovery area for close monitoring. You may be permitted to go home when you are stable for discharge, typically after an hour or so.
Before leaving, your surgeon will provide instructions regarding the implant procedure. You will be asked to visit the surgeon again for your follow-ups. You may also receive medications or a prescription for your fast recovery. Your prescribed medications may include pain pills and an antibiotic to prevent infection and heal the scars.
You will be advised to wear the support garment (a bra or elastic band, called a bandeau) around the clock. This will help in faster healing and make you comfortable. Patients need to maintain hygiene on the incision sites and clean it daily and apply ointment. Instructions vary, so it’s important to follow all your plastic surgeon’s directions carefully.
There might be swelling around the breast. There is nothing to get worried about. It is normal, however, it is best to inform your surgeon. They can provide the best advice. The pain will subside within 5 to 6 days of the procedure depending on surgical technique, medications will be provided. You can resume exercise and normal activity according to your plastic surgeon’s directions.
