Introduction

Breast augmentation is a transformative procedure that enhances confidence by reshaping and volumizing the bustline. At The Sculptique Aesthetics in Mumbai, Dr. Aamod Rao combines advanced surgical techniques with an artistic approach to deliver natural-looking, personalized results. Whether you’re seeking to restore volume post-pregnancy or achieve your desired silhouette, this blog answers your most pressing questions about breast augmentation.


1. What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure to increase breast size and improve symmetry using implants or fat transfer. Dr. Aamod Rao tailors the approach to your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.


2. What Types of Implants Are Available?

  • Silicone Implants: Pre-filled with cohesive gel for a natural feel.


  • Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater during surgery, offering adjustable volume.


  • Structured Implants: Hybrid options with a natural texture.


Dr. Rao discusses the pros and cons of each during your consultation to help you choose the best fit.


3. Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Ideal candidates:


  • Are in good physical and mental health.


  • Have realistic expectations about results.


  • Seek to correct asymmetry, restore volume, or enhance natural contours.


  • Are non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery.


Dr. Rao evaluates breast tissue, skin quality, and medical history to ensure safety.


4. How Long Is the Recovery Period?

Most patients resume light activities in 1–2 weeks, with full recovery in 6–8 weeks. Dr. Rao’s aftercare plan includes:


  • Wearing a surgical bra for support.


  • Avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks.


  • Regular follow-ups to monitor healing.


5. Will Breast Augmentation Leave Scars?

Scars are minimal and strategically placed (e.g., under the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit). Dr. Rao uses advanced closure techniques to ensure scars fade significantly over time.


6. Can I Combine Breast Augmentation with Other Procedures?

Yes! Popular combinations include:


  • Breast lift (mastopexy) for sagging breasts.


  • Tummy tuck for a full mommy makeover.


  • Liposuction to contour adjacent areas.


7. What Are the Risks of Breast Augmentation?

While rare, risks include infection, implant rupture, or capsular contracture. Dr. Rao minimizes complications by:


  • Using FDA-approved implants.


  • Employing sterile, precision-driven surgical methods.


  • Providing detailed pre- and post-op guidelines.


8. How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost in Mumbai?

Costs vary based on implant type, surgical technique, and facility fees. At The Sculptique Aesthetics, Dr. Rao offers transparent pricing during consultations, ensuring no hidden charges.


9. How Long Do Implants Last?

Implants are not lifetime devices. While many last 10–15 years, regular check-ups are recommended. Dr. Rao advises monitoring for changes and discusses replacement options if needed.


10. Can Breast Augmentation Affect Breastfeeding?

Most techniques preserve milk ducts and nerves, but discuss your future plans with Dr. Rao. Incision placement (e.g., under the breast) minimizes impact on breastfeeding ability.


11. What’s the Difference Between Implants and Fat Transfer?

  • Implants: Provide precise size enhancement.


  • Fat Transfer: Uses your own fat (harvested via liposuction) for subtle volume. Ideal for minor corrections.

Dr. Rao helps you decide based on your goals.


12. How Do I Choose the Best Surgeon in Mumbai?

Look for:


  • Board certification in plastic surgery.


  • Extensive experience in breast augmentation.


  • A portfolio of natural-looking results.


Dr. Aamod Rao’s expertise and patient-centric care make him a trusted name in Mumbai.
