Boob Job (Breast Augmentation) Sydney

A boob job (Breast Augmentation) is a procedure that involves surgically increasing the size of the breasts. It can be used to enhance the shape and proportion of the breasts, or to improve symmetry if one breast appears significantly larger than the other. This procedure offers many cosmetic benefits, such as restoring breast volume that has been lost due to pregnancy or weight loss.

There are two options for having a boob job (Breast Augmentation);

1. Boob job (Breast Augmentation) with Implants

This type of boob job (Breast Augmentation) is a surgical procedure where breast implants are inserted to enhance the shape, size, and contour of the breasts. Your surgeon inserts silicone or saline implants into the breast tissue. An incision is made in the armpit, around the areola or below the natural crease in the breast. Through this incision, the surgeon places a breast implant either above or below the chest muscle before closing the incision.

This cosmetic surgery is typically performed for aesthetic purposes, to boost self-confidence, or to address issues stemming from asymmetry, weight loss, or pregnancy. The surgery can be done under general anaesthesia, with incisions made either under the breast, around the nipple, or in the armpit. The type of implant chosen may vary based on the patient’s preferences and the surgeon’s recommendations. While this procedure can be life-changing for some individuals, it is essential to consult a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss expectations and potential outcomes.

2. Boob job (Breast Augmentation) with fat transfer

This procedure involves the surgeon taking skin, muscle, fat and blood vessels, usually from the belly, back, thighs or flanks (sides and lower back of the abdomen), to create a new breast mound. This type of augmentation is usually for people who want a relatively small increase in their breast size.

The Benefits of a Boob Job (Breast Augmentation)

A boob job (breast augmentation) can provide numerous benefits beyond simply increasing breast size. Some key advantages include:

1. Enhanced self-esteem: For women who feel self-conscious about their breast size or shape, a boob job (Breast Augmentation) can significantly improve self-confidence and body image.
2. Restored balance: Breast asymmetry will be corrected through a boob job (Breast Augmentation), giving a more balanced and proportional appearance.
3. Post-pregnancy rejuvenation: Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause changes in breast size and shape. A boob job (Breast Augmentation) can restore volume and lift, helping women regain their pre-pregnancy figure.
4. Improved clothing options: With a more proportionate bust, women can enjoy a wider range of clothing styles and feel more comfortable in swimwear or lingerie.

Considering a Boob Job (breast augmentation) in Sydney

Before deciding to undergo a boob (Breast Augmentation) job in Sydney, it is important to consider several factors:

1. Research and consultation: Take the time to research reputable plastic surgeons in Sydney who specialize in breast augmentation. Schedule consultations to discuss your goals, expectations, and any concerns you may have.
2. Realistic expectations: Understand the limitations and potential outcomes of the procedure. Your surgeon will help you determine the best implant size, shape, and placement based on your body type and desired results.
3. Recovery and downtime: Recovery time varies for each individual, but plan for at least a week or two of downtime. Follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

The Boob Job Process

The process of getting a boob job (Breast Augmentation) with Mode Plastic Surgery in Sydney involves the following steps:

1. Consultation and pre-operative assessment: During the initial consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and discuss your desired outcomes. This is an opportunity to address any questions or concerns you may have.
2. Surgical planning: Your surgeon will work with you to determine the appropriate implant type, size, and shape to achieve your desired results. They will explain the different options available, including saline or silicone implants and placement options.
3. The surgical procedure: Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make incisions, usually in inconspicuous locations, to minimise scarring. The implants are carefully placed either above or below the chest muscle, based on the discussed surgical plan.
4. Recovery and follow-up care: After the surgery, you will be given specific post-operative instructions, including information on pain management, dressings, and any restrictions on physical activities. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress.

Recovery from Boob Job (Breast Augmentation) Surgery

We recommend patients of breast augmentation surgery to avoid getting any incisions wet for at least 48-72 hours. To avoid this using a damp sponge gently around the body will keep you feeling clean without any risk.

We always recommend that you plan to be away from work for at least 1 week which will give you the time your incisions need to heal so that you can move around with minimal discomfort. Any extra time that you’re able to take will be beneficial. You should not do any strenuous or heavy listing for around 6 weeks, so speak to Dr Aggarwal and your employer if this will be difficult.

Most patients can drive again after one week because they no longer require taking their pain medication. If you feel the need to use prescription drugs to reduce discomfort, don’t drive until you can stop taking these medications.

Boob Job (Breast Augmentation)Results

You will notice a change in your breast immediately after surgery, the complete results of your breast augmentation will take some time. After surgery there will be some swelling that will take several weeks to subside completely. Your implants will also take some time to settle into their optimal position and it’s rare that both implants will do this at the same time, so be aware one implant may drop before the other.

It’s important to take care of your incisions and follow Dr Aggarwal’s post-operative instructions closely so that you can enjoy complete results after about three months.
