Breast augmentation in Montreal

The breast augmentation

Many people wonder about what a breast augmentation surgery is really.

Is it painful? What is the procedure? What is the recovery time after such a surgery?

The surgery of breast augmentation with implants has the scientific name of Mammary Augmentation.

A breast augmentation is used to enlarge the breasts by inserting breast implants (breast prostheses), while ensuring that the breasts appearance fits well with the rest of the body.

Surgical approaches

Regarding the incisions for the plastic cosmetic surgery of the breast…

There are three classic kinds of incisions to insert breast implants in breast augmentation:

A mammary incision under the breast or infra-mammary,
A mammary incision placed around the areola (nipple) or peri-areolar,
A mammary incision placed through the armpit or trans-axillary.

Each implant is placed:

Either directly under the breast (above the chest muscles),
Or under a single muscle called Pectoralis Major (the most popular technique used),
Or under several muscles (the technique we use).

As for the surgical technique used for breast augmentation, we favor a special technique known as mini-incision.

This approach was published and taught by Dr. Fanous.

According to this technique, a short incision of just 1.8 cm is placed under the breast.

The breast implant is inserted gently through this very small incision with fine instruments.

Thanks to this very small incision, the scar is usually well hidden in the crease below the breast.

The breast prosthesis?

The basic idea for a breast implant is simple:

A breast implant, or prosthesis, is composed of a thin outer shell which contains either a saline (salt water) liquid compound, or a silicone (viscous cohesive) gel.

Saline is the same fluid present in all human tissues.

In the case of a saline prosthesis rupture, the salt water escapes and is absorbed by the body safely.

As for the cohesive silicone gel implant, its consistency is softer and smoother than that of the salt water implant. However, the cohesive silicone gel implant is more expensive than the saline implant and requires a longer scar.

The ptosis

If the breasts, in addition to being small, are sagging (ptosis), it may be necessary to also do a breast lift, or mastopexy, while performing the breast augmentation.

The purpose of this breast lift is to raise the breast and nipple to a higher level.

The result?

For Dr. Nabil Fanous, the most important goal of a cosmetic plastic breast surgery, after the safety of his patients, is the natural appearance of the breasts once the surgery is completed.

Although the breasts are located at the heart of the body, they should remain neutral.

So a nicely operated breast must be discreet. It should not be too eye-catching.

This is when breast augmentation surgery comes into play: breast implants are used to modify the breasts in a non-exaggerated way.

Considering the importance of the breasts due to their positioning, the success of such an operation is crucial.

It is essential that breast surgery is done with, in mind, the overall harmony of the body.

All breast corrections with breast implants should remain natural.

It is important that the breasts do not seem obviously operated after surgery.

That is why small breast corrections often make a big difference, even though the change is discreet.

Many of the patients who consult us for a breast augmentation are encouraged by friends or family members who have had that same cosmetic surgery with Dr. Fanous.

Seeing the result on a person we know is one of the ways to assess the skills of a surgeon.
