Breast implant surgery is contraindicated in women with untreated breast cancer or pre-malignant breast disorders, active infection anywhere in the body, or individuals who are currently pregnant or nursing. Individuals with a weakened immune system (currently receiving chemotherapy or drugs to suppress the immune system), conditions that interfere with blood clotting or wound healing, or have reduced blood supply to the breast tissue from prior surgery or radiation therapy treatments may be at greater risk for complications and poor prior surgical outcome. According the USFDA, a woman must be at least 18 years of age for cosmetic breast augmentation. :

Breast enlargement is accomplished by inserting a breast implant either behind the breast tissue or partially or completely under the chest muscles. Incisions are made to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible, usually under the breast, around the lower part of the areola, or in the armpit. Breast implants are manufactured in a variety of shapes, sizes, and with either smooth or textures surfaces. The method of implant selection and size, along with the surgical approach for inserting and positioning breast implants will depend on your preferences, your anatomy and Dr. Reddy’s recommendations. The shape and size of the breasts prior to surgery will influence both the recommended treatment and the final results. If the breasts are not the same size or shape before surgery, it is unlikely that thy will be completely symmetrical afterwards. Conditions that involve sagging of the breast or diminished skin tone (stretch marks) may require additional surgical procedures (breast lift) to reposition the nipple and areola upward and to remove loose skin. :

Patients undergoing augmentation mammaplasty surgery must consider the following: * Breast augmentation may not be a one time surgery. * Breast implants of any type are not considered lifetime devices. They cannot be expected to last forever. You will likely require future surgery for implant replacement or removal. * Changes that occur to the breasts following augmentation with implants are not reversible. There may be unacceptable appearance to the breast if you later choose to have breast implants removed. :
