Breast
Augmentation: The most popular aesthetic operation that gives very
good results. Silicone Gel or Saline Filled implants are used for augmentation.
Silicone is still the most reliable breast implant. The latest scientific researches
prove that there is no relation between silicone and breast cancer or collagen
diseases. Pregnancy and breast-feeding are not disturbed by silicone implants.

Operation is routinely done under general anaesthesia and lasts about one hour.
Patient's stay in the hospital is for few hours and recovery time is of 3-4
days, A support bra should be used for two weeks postoperatively day and night
and after the first month patients can sleep on the prone position. The various
types of implants and insertion techniques can be discussed with your Doctor.
Breast Reduction: A more time consuming
technique compares with the breast augmentation. It gives very good results
and relieves from back pain, improves body posture and facilitates properly
clothing. Patients undergo this operation have to accept some permanent scarring
which fades out in 1-2 years.
Breast lift (Mastopexv): Breast lift or Mastopexy is all
that's needed to reshape and rejuvenate breasts that have lost firmness because
of age, pregnancies, breast feeding and weight loss, If breast volume is small
simultaneous breast lift and augmentation is a more proper technique. Recovery
time is short like breast augmentation and scarring is in between the breast
augmentation and reduction.
Post-Mastectomy Breast Reconstruction: For
those patients who have undergone partial or radical mastectomy, breast reconstruction
techniques offers emotional and psychological improvement. Various techniques
with autologous tissue transfer and/or implants insertion can be scheduled for
each individual.
