Overview

Breast Augmentation in Sharjah | Breast Enlargement Surgery – Ebn Hayan Healthcare

If you are considering breast augmentation in Sharjah to enhance breast size, improve shape, or restore lost volume, Ebn Hayan Healthcare provides cosmetic surgery consultations and individualized treatment planning based on each woman’s needs and medical assessment.

Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to increase breast size and improve breast fullness and proportions. The procedure is commonly performed using medical breast implants made of silicone or saline, while selected patients may also consider fat transfer breast augmentation.

Women may consider breast enlargement surgery for different reasons, including naturally small breasts, loss of breast volume after pregnancy and breastfeeding, changes following weight loss, or differences in breast size.

At Ebn Hayan Healthcare in Sharjah, patients can enquire about breast augmentation consultations and discuss available cosmetic surgery options with an appropriate specialist to determine the most suitable approach.

What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to increase breast volume and improve breast shape and proportions.

The procedure commonly involves placing specially designed breast implants, also known as breast prostheses, beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle.

Breast implants are generally made of silicone or filled with sterile saline solution. In selected cases, fat transfer breast augmentation may be considered as an alternative.

Breast augmentation may help to:

  • Increase breast size and fullness.
  • Improve breast proportions and overall appearance.
  • Address differences in breast size.
  • Restore some breast volume lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Improve breast appearance following weight loss.
  • Enhance the balance between breast size and body shape.

The final outcome depends on implant type, surgical technique, body structure, and individual healing response.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation may be suitable for women who wish to increase breast size or improve breast shape and proportions, provided they are medically suitable for surgery.

Women who may consider breast enlargement surgery include those who:

  • Naturally have smaller breasts and want increased breast volume.
  • Have noticeable differences in breast size.
  • Have experienced breast volume loss after pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Have experienced changes in breast appearance following weight loss.
  • Want to improve breast proportions in relation to their body shape.
  • Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

A medical assessment is essential to review general health, previous surgeries, medications, breast anatomy, and personal expectations.

Candidates should have completed breast development and be in a suitable state of health. Future pregnancy and breastfeeding plans should also be discussed with the surgeon before surgery.

Types of Breast Augmentation Procedures

Different techniques are available for breast enlargement. The most appropriate method depends on existing breast size, body proportions, skin elasticity, and the desired outcome.

1. Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone breast implants are widely used in breast augmentation surgery. They contain cohesive silicone gel within a flexible outer shell.

They are available in different shapes and sizes, allowing the surgeon to select an implant according to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.

2. Saline Breast Implants

Saline breast implants consist of an outer silicone shell filled with sterile saline solution. Some types are inserted empty and filled during surgery.

Their suitability depends on individual preferences, anatomy, and the surgeon’s assessment.

3. Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Fat transfer breast augmentation uses the patient’s own fat, which is collected from areas such as the abdomen or thighs through liposuction.

The collected fat is processed and injected into the breasts to provide a modest increase in volume.

This option may be suitable for women who prefer a more gradual and natural-looking increase in breast size without implants. However, some transferred fat may be absorbed by the body, and the amount of enlargement is generally more limited than with implants.

Breast Implant Shapes and Sizes

Choosing the right breast implant involves more than selecting a particular cup size.

The surgeon considers several factors, including:

  • Natural breast width and dimensions.
  • Chest and shoulder proportions.
  • Skin thickness and tissue elasticity.
  • Desired breast fullness.
  • Implant material and shape.
  • Overall body proportions.

Common implant shapes include round breast implants and anatomical or teardrop-shaped implants.

The appropriate breast implant size and shape are selected following an individual assessment. Implants that are too large for the available tissue may increase the risk of complications.

How Is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

Breast augmentation surgery involves several stages, beginning with a consultation and ending with postoperative care and follow-up.

1. Consultation and Medical Assessment

The surgeon examines the breasts, evaluates their shape and size, assesses skin elasticity, and reviews the patient’s medical history and previous procedures.

The consultation includes discussing implant options, expected outcomes, potential risks, and individual preferences.

2. Choosing the Appropriate Implants

The surgeon helps select the appropriate implant type, size, shape, and placement based on breast anatomy and the desired appearance.

3. Anaesthesia

Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia. The anaesthesia plan is determined according to the patient’s health and the medical assessment.

4. Surgical Incision

The surgeon makes an incision in an appropriate location. Common incision options include:

  • Inframammary incision, beneath the breast fold.
  • Periareolar incision, around the edge of the areola.
  • Transaxillary incision, through the armpit in selected techniques.

The incision location depends on implant type, anatomy, and surgical planning.

5. Breast Implant Placement

A pocket is created to accommodate the implant. Depending on the patient’s anatomy and the surgical plan, the implant may be placed beneath the chest muscle or beneath the breast tissue.

6. Closing the Incisions and Follow-Up

After implant placement and checking the position, the surgeon closes the incisions and applies appropriate dressings or a supportive surgical bra as recommended.

What Results Can You Expect from Breast Augmentation?

The main goal of breast augmentation surgery is to increase breast volume and improve breast shape and proportions.

Potential results may include:

  • Increased breast size.
  • Improved breast fullness.
  • Better balance between the breasts.
  • Restoration of some volume lost after pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Improved breast proportions in relation to body shape.

Results vary between individuals, and perfect symmetry cannot always be achieved because natural differences in breast anatomy and tissue structure may remain.

Breast augmentation alone does not correct significant breast sagging. Some patients may benefit from combining breast enlargement surgery with a breast lift.

What Is the Difference Between Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift?

Breast augmentation and breast lift surgery address different concerns.

Breast Augmentation: Increases breast size and fullness using implants or transferred body fat.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Addresses sagging by removing excess skin and reshaping the breast, while repositioning the nipple when necessary. It does not primarily aim to increase breast size.

Some women experience both small breast volume and sagging. In selected cases, breast augmentation and breast lift surgery can be performed together.

Recovery After Breast Augmentation Surgery

Recovery time after breast augmentation varies depending on the surgical technique, implant placement, and individual healing response.

Temporary postoperative effects may include:

  • Swelling around the breasts.
  • Bruising near the breasts and incision sites.
  • Tightness or pressure in the chest.
  • Temporary pain or tenderness.
  • Temporary changes in nipple or breast sensation.

Important Aftercare Instructions

Following your surgeon’s instructions can help support recovery.

Patients may be advised to:

  • Take prescribed medications as directed.
  • Wear a supportive surgical bra if recommended.
  • Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise during the recommended period.
  • Avoid pressure on the breasts and follow sleeping-position instructions.
  • Keep surgical incisions clean and follow wound-care instructions.
  • Attend scheduled medical follow-up appointments.
  • Contact the surgeon if severe pain, increasing redness, fever, or unusual breast changes occur.

Most temporary symptoms improve gradually, while the final breast shape continues to settle over the following weeks and months.

Possible Risks and Complications of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure and carries potential risks that should be discussed with the surgeon before making a decision.

Possible complications include:

  • Bleeding or haematoma.
  • Infection.
  • Postoperative swelling and pain.
  • Scarring around the incision sites.
  • Changes in nipple or breast sensation.
  • Breast asymmetry.
  • Capsular contracture, which involves tightening of scar tissue around the implant.
  • Implant displacement or rotation.
  • Implant rupture or leakage.
  • Changes in breast shape over time.
  • The need for revision surgery or additional procedures.
  • Anaesthesia-related complications.

There are also rare implant-associated conditions, including breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), which is more strongly associated with certain textured breast implants.

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. Some women may require additional surgery in the future to replace or remove their implants.

Does Breast Augmentation Affect Breastfeeding?

Some women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation, but breastfeeding ability varies depending on surgical technique, incision location, and the effect on breast ducts and nerves.

Women planning future pregnancies or breastfeeding should discuss these plans with their surgeon before undergoing breast enlargement surgery.

Do Silicone Breast Implants Need to Be Replaced?

Silicone breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime. However, this does not mean that every patient must replace them after a fixed number of years.

Replacement or removal may become necessary because of implant rupture, capsular contracture, symptoms, changes in breast appearance, or other medical reasons.

Your surgeon may recommend periodic imaging to monitor silicone implant integrity, even when there are no noticeable symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation

How much does breast augmentation cost in Sharjah?

The cost of breast augmentation in Sharjah varies depending on the implant type, brand, size, surgical technique, surgeon’s experience, anaesthesia, and medical facility. An accurate estimate can be provided following a consultation and medical assessment.

What is the best type of breast implant?

Common options include silicone gel implants and saline implants. The appropriate choice depends on breast anatomy, body proportions, desired results, and the surgeon’s assessment. There is no single implant type that is best for every woman.

How long does breast augmentation surgery take?

The procedure commonly takes around one to two hours, although the duration may vary depending on the surgical technique and whether additional procedures are performed.

When will I see breast augmentation results?

The change in breast size is noticeable immediately after surgery, but swelling and tightness may affect the initial appearance. The breasts gradually settle during recovery over the following weeks and months.

Is breast augmentation painful?

Breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthesia, so patients do not experience pain during surgery. Some discomfort, pressure, or tightness may occur afterward and can be managed with prescribed medication.

How long do silicone breast implants last?

There is no fixed lifespan that applies to every implant. Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and some women may eventually require replacement or removal because of rupture, capsular contracture, or other changes.

Can breast augmentation be performed without implants?

Yes. Fat transfer breast augmentation is an option for selected patients. It involves collecting fat from another area of the body and injecting it into the breasts. The increase in breast size is generally more limited than with implants.

Can breast augmentation be combined with a breast lift?

Yes. Breast augmentation and breast lift surgery may be combined for women who have both reduced breast volume and sagging. Suitability depends on individual anatomy and medical assessment.

Does breast augmentation affect breastfeeding?

Some women can breastfeed after breast augmentation. However, breastfeeding ability may depend on the surgical technique, incision location, and effects on breast ducts and nerves. Future breastfeeding plans should be discussed with the surgeon.

Does breast augmentation leave scars?

Yes. Breast augmentation requires surgical incisions to place the implants. The location and appearance of scars depend on the selected technique, skin type, and individual healing.
