BREAST AUGMENTATION – BREAST ENLARGEMENT Breast augmentation is considered to be relatively minor but it is a very effective cosmetic operation. By inserting the latest high quality implants, from reputable manufactures, we can easily achieve the desired breast enlargement. Breast augmentation is done under general anesthetic, administered and monitored throughout the operation by a top anesthetist. Patients must to be over 18. Reasons for this type of cosmetic surgery range from underdeveloped small breasts and different breast asymmetry to innate breast anomalies and reconstructive breast surgery. The breast enlargement operation with silicone implants, which started in the early 60s, is considered to be one of the youngest cosmetic surgeries. Since then millions of women have had silicone implants and, as a result, reactions to implants have been well researched and documented, over the years. It is possible to have a reaction to an implant, like the forming of a thin membrane as a kind of a natural barrier to the implant. Reactions of rejection are very rare and manifest themselves as an infection around an implant. Silicone implants are soft and cannot easily be detected by touching or pressing on the breast. It is important to realize that patients can nurse without any difficulty, after having an implant, and that the breast remains accessible for all medical examinations, because the implant is placed bellow the breast-gland or below the breast muscle. There are rumors that silicone implants can cause breast cancer but these are ungrounded and are not true. Nothing has ever been proven or published in any serious medical literature to support these claims. Silicone has a wide-range of applications in medicine and is considered the best material for making many kinds of implants for use in the human body - because the human organism accepts it really well. Artificial heart valves, pacemakers, skin creams and pacifiers for children are all made with silicone. No medical professionals have expressed concern for patient's health, when silicone implants are used. The incision can be made in the armpit, near the nipple or below the breast. Considering these locations, the scar is not visible after the operation. The results of this type of surgery are noticeable immediately and the patients are instantly very satisfied with it.
