Breast size, shape, and symmetry can change because of genetics, ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight fluctuations. Some women may feel that their breasts are smaller than desired, lack upper fullness, or have an uneven or tubular shape. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase breast volume and improve overall breast contour. Breast augmentation in Mumbai can be performed using breast implants or, in selected patients, fat grafting using fat harvested from another area of the body.
Dr. Siddharth Prakash provides personalized breast enhancement consultations at Ambrosia Aesthetics in Lokhandwala Complex, Andheri West. His approach involves understanding the patient’s concerns, evaluating breast and body proportions, discussing available options, and creating an individualized surgical plan.
Breast augmentation, also called augmentation mammoplasty, is performed to increase breast size and improve breast shape. According to the procedure information provided by Ambrosia Aesthetics, enlargement may be achieved with silicone breast implants or through fat grafting.
Implant-based augmentation involves placing a selected implant in a carefully created pocket beneath the breast tissue or muscle. The incision may be positioned in the breast fold, around the areola, or through the axillary region depending on the surgical plan and individual anatomy. The choice of incision, implant size, shape, and position is determined during consultation.
Breast augmentation with fat uses the patient’s own fat, generally harvested from another body area, to add volume to the breasts. This can be an option for selected patients who prefer fat grafting and have sufficient donor fat.
Breast augmentation may be considered by women who are dissatisfied with breast size or shape and have realistic expectations about the procedure. The source information lists several concerns that may lead patients to consider augmentation, including:
Candidates should generally be in good overall health without major medical or surgical conditions that could make the procedure unsuitable. The decision should be based on an individual consultation rather than breast size alone.
There is no single implant that is appropriate for every patient. Breast implants differ in filling material, shape, surface, profile, and size. Silicone gel implants are widely used and are available in different designs, including round and anatomical options.
