Breast augmentation aka augmentation mammoplasty is a general operation done to enhance the shape, size, and fullness of the breasts. The surgery involves placing breast implants under the breast tissues or chest muscles or undergoing autologous fat grafting. It is normally known as aesthetic surgery. But, if it is done following a breast cancer treatment, to restore the breast after the mastectomy, it is considered a reconstructive breast surgery.

Across the globe, breast augmentation surgery is known as one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries for the past many years. Today, it has become the most widely accepted and relatively easily available option. Although it is an elective surgery that can be extremely rewarding for women, the patients must first confirm their candidacy for the surgery.

During an initial consultation with a plastic and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Mrinalini Sharma at Aestiva Clinic, the suitability of the candidate for breast augmentation surgery can be best determined. She provides an honest medical opinion based on the patient’s unique situation. There are several criteria that the candidate must meet in order to qualify for Breast Augmentation in Delhi. These includes:

• In general, the candidates must be physically healthy, which means they should not have any active infections, untreated cancer, or serious ailments and be in a healthy frame of mind.
• The candidates’ breasts may not appear normal. For instance, the breasts are sagging, elongated, flattened, asymmetrical, or lacking adequate fullness or proper cleavage. 
• The candidates hold reasonable expectations from the outcomes of their surgery and listen to their surgeon’s honest assessment of their goals.
• The candidates consider breast augmentation strictly for themselves to feel better and boost their self-esteem and confidence.
• The candidates understand the risks as well as benefits of undergoing the surgery
• The candidates do not get indulged in bad lifestyle habits like smoking and alcohol or drug abuse
• The candidates are committed to following post-surgery and pre-operative instructions as provided by the surgeon.

Breast augmentation surgery is beneficial for women who are not satisfied with their breasts’ size, shape, or contour or wish to get their breasts evenly aligned to bring them symmetry. It can help women who have one or more of the following breast concerns:

• One of the breasts is slightly smaller or larger than the other breast
• Rapid weight loss has changed the size and shape of the breasts
• After childbirth or breastfeeding, the breasts have lost their shape and firmness and appear contracted
• Drooping breasts which make it uncomfortable to wear a fitted top or a swimsuit
