Incision Options for Breast Implant Surgery

• Inframammary Incision: Dr Siddharth will make the incision around the crease beneath the breast.
• Periareolar Incision: Dr Siddharth will make an incision around the edge of the areola. 
• Transaxillary Incision: Dr Siddharth will make the incision in the armpit.
• Transumbilical Incision (TUBA): The implant is inserted through an incision made near the navel, although this method is less common.

Consultation and Preoperative Preparation

Before undergoing breast implant surgery in Nagpur, you will have an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon. During this consultation, you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any questions or concerns with Dr Siddharth. 

The surgeon will assess your breast anatomy and recommend an appropriate implant size and placement technique. Preoperative preparation may include:

• Medical Evaluation: You’ll undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure you are a suitable candidate for surgery.
• Implant Selection: Together with your surgeon, you’ll choose the type, size, and shape of implants that align with your desired outcome.
• Surgical Plan: Your surgeon will outline the surgical approach, incision location, and placement technique to achieve the best results.
• Preoperative Instructions: You’ll receive specific guidelines on how to prepare for surgery, including dietary restrictions, medication instructions, and smoking cessation if applicable.

The Surgical Procedure

The surgeon will take 1 or 2 hours to perform the breast implant surgery in Nagpur under general anesthesia. The surgical steps include:

• Incision: The surgeon makes the chosen incision to access the breast tissue.
• Implant Placement: The implants are carefully inserted into the pre-determined position (subglandular, submuscular, or dual-plane).
• Closing Incisions: The incisions are closed with sutures, and in some cases, dissolvable stitches or surgical tape may be used.
• Dressing and Support: Sterile dressings and a supportive bra or compression garment are applied to reduce swelling and promote healing.

Recovery and Postoperative Care

After breast implant surgery, you will need some time to recover and heal. Here are important points to consider during this phase:

• Discomfort and Swelling: Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common after surgery, but these symptoms can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
• Rest and Recovery: It’s essential to rest and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks to allow your body to heal properly.
• Follow-up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with Dr Siddharth will be scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
• Scarring: Incisions will leave scars, but they typically fade over time and can be concealed by clothing or swimwear.

Results and Long-Term Maintenance

Breast implant surgery can provide lasting results, but it’s important to understand that implants are not intended to last a lifetime. You may need to replace or remove them in the future. Long-term maintenance includes:

• Regular Check-ups: Continue to see your plastic surgeon for routine check-ups to monitor the condition of your implants and overall breast health.
• Implant Replacement: Plan for potential implant replacement or removal surgery as recommended by your surgeon. The lifespan of implants varies but is typically around 10-15 years.
• Lifestyle Considerations: Maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise to support your overall well-being.
