Breast Augmentation (Implant Surgery)

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures worldwide, helping women achieve fuller, more proportionate breasts that align with their aesthetic goals. At Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh, Dr. Amit Agrawal performs breast augmentation using premium-quality silicone cohesive gel implants — often referred to as "gummy bear" implants — which provide a natural look and feel while maintaining their shape over time. As a general guideline, a 300cc implant increases breast size by approximately 2 cup sizes, though exact results depend on the patient's existing anatomy.

The surgical technique involves placing the implant either above (subglandular) or below (submuscular) the chest muscle, through one of three incision locations: the inframammary fold (beneath the breast crease), the periareolar margin (around the lower edge of the areola), or the axillary approach (within the armpit). Dr. Agrawal discusses the advantages and considerations of each approach during your consultation, taking into account your body type, breast anatomy, implant size preferences, and lifestyle. The submuscular placement is most commonly recommended as it provides additional tissue coverage, a more natural slope, and reduced interference with mammography.

Breast implants have been extensively studied and have an excellent safety profile. Scientific research has confirmed no link between silicone implants and breast cancer, autoimmune disease, or other systemic conditions. Women with implants can breastfeed successfully in the vast majority of cases. Modern cohesive gel implants are designed to maintain their integrity even if the outer shell is compromised, providing an additional layer of safety and peace of mind.

Recovery & Aftercare

The first 1–2 days after surgery involve moderate soreness and tightness in the chest area, managed effectively with prescribed pain medication. Most patients return to desk work and light daily activities within 3–7 days. A surgical support bra is worn continuously for 4–6 weeks. Upper body exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks to allow proper implant settling and tissue healing. The implants will gradually "drop and fluff" — settling into their final, natural position — over 3–6 months. Full results are typically appreciated at 6 months post-surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are breast implants safe?

Yes. Breast implants have been extensively researched over several decades and have a well-established safety profile. Studies have confirmed no link between silicone implants and breast cancer, connective tissue disease, or other systemic illnesses. Modern cohesive gel implants are designed to maintain form integrity even in the rare event of shell compromise.

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?

In the vast majority of cases, yes. The breast tissue and milk ducts are generally not affected by the implant placement. The periareolar incision approach carries a slightly higher (though still low) risk of affecting milk ducts, so Dr. Agrawal discusses this consideration with patients who plan to breastfeed in the future.

How do I choose the right implant size?

During your consultation, Dr. Agrawal uses a combination of precise body measurements, trial sizers, and your personal preferences to recommend an appropriate implant size. The goal is to achieve a proportionate, natural-looking result that suits your body frame. As a general reference, a 300cc implant typically adds approximately 2 cup sizes.

How long do breast implants last?

Modern breast implants are highly durable and are not considered lifetime devices — they do not have an expiration date, but implant replacement may be needed at some point, often after 10–20 years. Many women go decades without any issues. Regular follow-up and occasional imaging help monitor implant condition over time.
