Understanding Breast Augmentation
Fuller Breasts, Balanced Proportion
Breasts are a major factor constituting a woman’s silhouette. Breast Augmentation is a purely Aeshetic procedure but in some cases, it can be used for a correctional purpose also. It helps women gaining a silhouette they desire raising their self-confidence and solving their body image issues.

Why Women Consider Breast Augmentation
Implants are placed under breast tissues to give them a fuller look. It is generally a low-risk procedure. There are saline and silicone implants.Dr Nerkar will decide everything about the surgery keeping in mind your requirements and the final outcome. It is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. A patient can get back to non-strenuous work within a week of the surgery.

Surgical Planning
Anaesthesia and Implant Placement
Breast augmentation is commonly performed under general anaesthesia in an appropriately equipped surgical facility. The anaesthetic plan and surgical approach depend on your health, procedure and surgeon's assessment.
General Anaesthesia
You are unconscious during the operation. Your anaesthesia team monitors you throughout the procedure.
Local Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia numbs a specific area. Whether it is appropriate depends on the planned procedure and clinical circumstances.
Outpatient Surgery
Many patients return home on the day of surgery once they have recovered sufficiently and discharge criteria are met.
Common Breast Implant Incisions
The surgeon chooses an incision based on implant type, anatomy, scar preferences and other clinical considerations.
Inframammary
An incision in the natural crease beneath the breast.
Axillary
An incision in the underarm, sometimes using an endoscope. A scar may remain in the underarm.
Periareolar
An incision around the edge of the areola. Potential effects on nipple sensation and breastfeeding should be discussed.
How the Incision Is Closed
In breast augmentation, an implant or fat from your body is surgically inserted behind each of your breasts. The implants sit either behind the muscles in your chest or behind the tissue of your natural breasts. This can raise your breast size by a cup or more.You can choose a contoured or round breast implant. The implant material works to boost the size of your breasts as well as provide shape in areas that may have previously felt “empty.”Keep in mind breast augmentation isn’t the same procedure as a breast lift.
A lift works to correct sagging breasts.Implants are generally soft, flexible shells made of silicone that are filled with either saline or silicone. While there’s been some controversy surrounding the use of silicone implants, they’re still widely popular among people who choose breast augmentation surgery.
Your Treatment Journey
Procedure for Breast Augmentation
If you elect to have breast augmentation surgery, you’re most likely to have it done in an outpatient surgical center or similar facility. Most of the time, people are able to go home the same day as the procedure.The procedure will most likely be performed under general anesthesia so you don’t feel any pain. Follow your surgeon’s instructions to prepare in the 24 hours before your procedure.Your surgeon will place your breast implants using one of three types of incisions:
inframammary (beneath your breast)
axillary (in the underarm)
periareolar (in the tissue surrounding your nipples)
Dr Kiran Nerkar will then create a pocket by separating the tissue of your breast from your chest muscles and tissue. Your implants will be placed inside these pockets and centered inside your breasts.If you’ve opted for saline implants, your surgeon will fill them with sterile saline solution once the shell has been placed successfully. If you choose silicone, they’ll already be filled.After your surgeon has placed your implants successfully, they’ll close your incisions with stitches, and then bandage them securely with surgical tape and surgical glue. You’ll be monitored in recovery, and then released to go home once the anesthesia wears off enough.
After Surgery
What to Expect During Recovery
First Few Days
Swelling, tenderness and tightness are common. Follow your prescribed pain-management and wound-care instructions.
First Week
Some patients can return to non-strenuous work within several days to about a week, depending on recovery and job demands.
Two Weeks and Beyond
Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting and activities restricted by your surgeon until you are cleared to resume them.
Follow-up Visits
Your surgeon checks healing and advises whether any sutures or drains need removal.
After your breast augmentation procedure, your surgeon will probably advise you to wear a bandage that compresses your breasts or a sports bra for the support you need during recovery. They may prescribe medication for pain, too.Dr Kiran Nerkar will also make recommendations regarding when to return to regular work and recreational activities. Most people may go back to work in a few days, but you might need up to a week off for recovery. If your job is more physical, you might require longer time off work to heal.When it comes to exercise and physical activity, you’ll need to avoid anything strenuous for two weeks at minimum. Following invasive surgery, you’ll want to avoid raising your blood pressure or pulse. Aside from that, too much movement will be very painful for your breasts.It’s possible that you may need to have your stitches removed at a follow-up appointment with your surgeon. In some cases, surgeons may opt to put drainage tubes near the surgical sites. If you have those, they’ll need to be removed, too.You’ll see results from your procedure immediately. Swelling and tenderness may make it difficult to assess final results until after you’ve had a chance to begin healing.While results should be long-lasting, breast implants aren’t guaranteed to last forever. You may need follow-up surgeries to replace implants in the future. Some people also opt to reverse the surgery at a later time.After surgery, maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you smoke cigarettes, quit. Smoking can delay healing.
Before Your Procedure
Preparing for Breast Augmentation
To prepare for your procedure, you’ll need to follow preoperative instructions from Dr Kiran Nerkar. You’ll probably be advised not to eat or drink starting at midnight the night before your procedure.In the weeks before breast augmentation, your surgeon will advise you to stop smoking. Smoking raises your risk of complications and restricts blood flow in the body. This can prolong recovery after surgery. It’s also possible that smoking lowers your immunity, which raises your risk of developing an infection.
Common Reasons
Why Women Choose Breast Augmentation
Fuller Breast Volume
Increase breast volume and create fuller, more proportionate breasts relative to your body frame.
Restore Lost Volume
Restore volume that may have changed after pregnancy, breastfeeding or significant weight loss.
Improve Asymmetry
Breast augmentation can help improve noticeable differences in breast size and shape.
Improve Proportion
Implant selection and placement can be tailored to your body proportions and aesthetic goals.
Candidate Assessment
Am I a Good Candidate?
You may be a reasonable candidate if you are physically healthy, have completed breast development and have realistic expectations about implant surgery, size, shape and scars.
Personalised Planning
Your Anatomy Matters
Your surgeon will review your personal and family medical history, previous breast procedures, breast tissue, skin quality, asymmetry and aesthetic goals.
Where relevant, your surgeon can also discuss mammography, breast self-examination and how implants may affect future breast imaging.
Implant Selection
Saline vs Silicone Implants
Implant fill type, shape and profile influence appearance, feel and long-term considerations. Selection is individualised during consultation.
| Implant Type | Fill Material | General Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Saline | Sterile salt water | Filled after placement; may allow a smaller insertion incision and may feel less natural in some patients. |
| Silicone | Cohesive silicone gel | Pre-filled and often described as feeling closer to natural breast tissue; periodic monitoring may be advised. |
Implant shape can be round or anatomically contoured, while profile also affects the final appearance. Specific implant brands, product lines and warranty terms should be confirmed directly with your surgeon.
Implant Placement
Where Are Implants Placed?
Behind the Breast Tissue
Subglandular placement in front of the chest muscle.
Behind the Chest Muscle
Submuscular or subpectoral placement beneath the chest muscle.
Placement is selected according to existing breast tissue, body type and aesthetic goals.
Surgical Access
Common Incision Options
Inframammary
In the natural crease beneath the breast.
Periareolar
Around the edge of the areola.
Axillary
Through the underarm, sometimes using an endoscope.
Each incision has different considerations relating to scar visibility, sensation and, for periareolar approaches, potential effects on breastfeeding.
Your Treatment Journey
How Breast Augmentation Is Performed
The procedure is planned around your anatomy, implant selection and desired outcome.
Consultation & Assessment
Your breast size, shape, tissue thickness, asymmetry, skin quality and individual goals are assessed. Your surgeon discusses implant size, type, placement and incision options.
Implant Selection
Implant fill, size, shape and profile are selected according to your anatomy, existing breast tissue and desired result.
Anaesthesia
Breast augmentation is commonly performed under general anaesthesia. The appropriate anaesthetic plan depends on your procedure and individual circumstances.
Creating the Implant Pocket
The surgeon creates a carefully planned pocket either behind the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle depending on your anatomy and goals.
Implant Placement
The selected implant is positioned and centred within the pocket. Saline implants may be filled after placement, while silicone implants are pre-filled.
Closure & Support
The incision is closed with appropriate layered sutures or skin closure. A supportive garment or dressing may be used during early healing.
After Your Procedure
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Early recovery commonly involves swelling, tenderness and tightness. Healing varies from patient to patient.
Many patients return to light work within approximately one week. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are generally restricted for at least two weeks or longer depending on individual healing and surgeon clearance.
A compression bandage or supportive bra is typically worn during initial healing.
Pain medication may be prescribed for the first few days.
Most patients return to light work within about a week, with strenuous activity and exercise generally avoided for at least 2 weeks or longer, depending on individual healing (your surgeon will confirm your specific timeline).
Swelling and tenderness in the initial period can make it difficult to judge final results until healing progresses.
Follow-up visits allow monitoring of healing and, if used, removal of drains or sutures.
Safety & Expectations
Risks & Possible Complications
Breast augmentation carries the general surgical risks of bleeding, infection, and changes in nipple or breast sensation, along with implant-specific considerations such as capsular contracture (firming of scar tissue around the implant), implant rippling or malposition, and the possibility of implant rupture or leakage over time.
Long-Term Implant Care
Implants Are Not Lifetime Devices
Implants are not intended to be permanent, lifetime devices — many patients eventually undergo revision or replacement surgery, and periodic monitoring is generally recommended regardless of implant type. Your surgeon will discuss your individual risk profile and any recommended monitoring schedule.
Your surgeon can discuss appropriate long-term monitoring and whether periodic imaging may be advisable for your implant type.
Results
Results — What to Expect
Increased breast volume is visible immediately, though initial swelling and tenderness may obscure the final shape and size for several weeks. Results generally stabilize as swelling resolves over the following weeks to months. While results are intended to be long-lasting, breast appearance can continue to change over time due to aging, weight fluctuation, pregnancy, and the implants themselves — this is a normal part of having implants, not a sign that something has gone wrong.
Future Changes
Your Breasts Continue to Change
Aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy and the natural changes of breast tissue can affect breast appearance over time. These changes are a normal part of having implants.
Choosing the Right Procedure
Augmentation vs Lift vs Reduction
| Procedure | Primary Goal | Changes Volume? | Changes Position / Shape? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breast Augmentation | Increase volume and fullness | Increases | Can improve shape as a secondary effect |
| Breast Lift | Correct sagging and restore position | No significant change | Yes |
| Breast Reduction | Reduce excess breast weight and volume | Decreases | Yes, through tissue removal and reshaping |
Combination Surgery
Combining Augmentation with a Breast Lift
Some patients have both reduced volume and breast sagging, particularly after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Volume + Position
Augmentation adds volume while a breast lift repositions sagging tissue and the nipple-areola complex. Whether both procedures should be performed together depends on your anatomy, tissue quality and desired outcome.
