This blog article will provide helpful data and information while also addressing your most frequently asked questions about this popular medical treatment.

How Long Does Breast Augmentation Take?

Do you want to know how long a breast augmentation procedure takes? Three to four hours are needed for breast augmentation surgery Dubai. Every operation is different, of course, and the length of time may vary depending on several variables.

The type of breast implants, the technique used by your surgeon, and whether it's a main or revision procedure can all affect how long your breast augmentation takes.

Types Of Breast Implants

  • Cohesive Silicone Gel: Silicone is used to make the filler material and the outer bag. Both doctors and patients concur that silicone gel implants feel and look more natural.
  • Saline (Salt Water Solution): This method is an alternative for women who might be concerned about their breast implants popping. After positioning a silicone bag, saline is added.
  • Autologous Fat Transfer: Nowadays, autologous fat transfer is the most obvious choice. To increase the size and form of your breasts, your fat is extracted from a donor location and injected into them. Fat's main disadvantages are its symmetry, size restriction, and lifespan.

When it comes to utilizing a patient's own fat for breast augmentation, Biolite Clinic Dubai is a reputable clinic. Biolite Clinic Dubai’s exclusive method guarantees longer-lasting and symmetrical outcomes by ensuring that more fat cells survive.

Technique: Where Are The Implants Placed?

  • Submuscular: The implants are placed beneath the chest muscles known as the pectoralis. This technique facilitates mammography, and women who opt for bigger implants typically have better results.
  • Subglandular: Positioned behind the tissue of the breast. This breast implant surgery Dubai provides a more natural-looking implant for women with breast laxity.

The Location Of The Breast Augmentation Incisions Can Vary As Well

  • Inframammary fold: The most typical inframammary fold is located at the crease beneath the breast. For medium or larger implants, the incisions are readily hidden, and nursing is least affected.
  • Transaxillary: The armpits are where the incisions are made. Because there is no visible scar beneath the breasts, this type of surgery is advantageous for ladies who do not have a crease.
  • Peri-areolar: The nipples are surrounded by incisions. Although there is a tiny increase in the danger of nerve injury near the nipples, it is perfect for smaller breasts.

Type Of Surgery: Primary Or Revision Breast Augmentation

If it's your first time, breast augmentation is your main operation and should take 3–4 hours. Revision breast augmentation refers to any follow-up procedures performed to address problems with your first procedure.

Revision operations may take longer due to the need to address scar tissue and other issues. In its practice, Biolite Clinic Dubai often handles patients who have had breast augmentation revisions. Patients at Biolite Clinic Dubai frequently receive better and more visually acceptable outcomes from the clinic’s painstaking skill and attention to detail than they did from prior surgeries.

What To Expect After Breast Augmentation

Before Breast Augmentation Surgery

A successful outcome starts long before you enter the surgery room. Selecting the appropriate implant is essential to your satisfaction with breast augmentation surgery.

Biolite Clinic Dubai will show you breast augmentation before and after pictures at your initial visit so you can see what your new breasts will look like following the procedure.

To assist you in choosing the appropriate size, shape, and material, Biolite Clinic Dubai surgeons will also ask you to put on a special bra with implants. You will undergo two sizing exercises to select the ideal implant for your body type and desired outcome.

Day Of The Breast Augmentation Procedure

On the day of the breast enlargement Dubai, you will be instructed not to eat or drink anything for at least eight hours before the surgery and to take a shower the night before.

You will be taken into the operating room once your surgeon has marked the surgical sites with a white pencil. Your anesthesiologist will connect you to an intravenous line that will provide your anesthetic and fluids after making you warm and comfortable on the operating table.

You'll fall asleep slowly and peacefully and wake up soon after. Even if you could have only been sleeping for a few seconds, several hours have already gone by. You will remain in the recovery room under monitoring.

A nurse will be available at all times to ensure that your initial recuperation is proceeding without hiccups, and your surgeon will follow up with you to inquire about your well-being. You will be allowed to return home in one to two hours.

After surgery, ensure that someone is available to pick you up. Since you will still be receiving the anesthetic medicine, it is not permitted for you to drive yourself home, take a taxi, or have a rideshare car pick you up for your personal safety.

What To Expect After Breast Augmentation Recovery

Due to the medicine you were given earlier, you could still feel drowsy when you arrive home. Because of this, we advise having a companion for the first twenty-four hours.

To help you navigate through the first few days, you will be provided with pain medication. You can then use over-the-counter pain relievers like Advil or Tylenol as needed. You can drive and conduct errands if needed after you've stopped taking your prescription medicine. After two to three days, you can even return to work.

You will wear a compression garment after you awaken from anesthesia. For six weeks, you will have to keep wearing it. This is crucial because if you don't, your new implants can move out of their proper position. Additionally, monitor your wounds for any signs of infection. Get in touch with your surgeon right away if you have severe pain, swelling, or redness.

You should refrain from doing intense exercises like aerobics and heavy lifting while wearing compression clothing. You can resume exercising six weeks after the clothes are taken off and your best breast augmentation surgeon Dubai gives the all-clear.

How Long Do Breast Implants Last?

Implants for the breasts are temporary. You have the option to swap them out for a fresh pair or take them off at any moment. For safety and health concerns, the FDA strongly advises replacing breast implants every ten years.

What makes replacing breast implants necessary? The lifespan of even the greatest implants is limited. It is possible for the outer shell to shatter or crack. Implants are now safer than ever; however, research indicates that silicone materials begin to deteriorate after 10 years, at which point they should be replaced.

Here's how to determine whether you need to replace your implants: You could notice a rupture, feel calcified lumps surrounding the implant, or feel that one or both of your breasts are rigid. Your surgeon will need to treat each of these issues.
