What Are Breast Implants?

Implants are medical prosthetic devices that are used for breast augmentation or reconstruction to fix issues or damage caused by cancer removal, physical trauma, or developmental defects. The devices are flexible silicone sacs, typically filled with silicone or saline material to help them maintain a regular shape. Their size and shape can be changed or tweaked easily to fit the requirements and goals of any given patient. Certain types of implants are made to closely resemble breast tissue, particularly in texture and feel, to make their effects look as natural as possible. They are inserted into the target breast tissue through a very careful surgical procedure (which we will discuss further in later sections). Properly placed implants increase the size of the breasts, improve their symmetry, reduce tissue laxity, and minimize visible structural flaws.

Breast Implants Cost in Abu Dhabi:

The Breast Implant Cost is typically around 18,000 AED to 38,000 AED or slightly more. That said, the actual prices of these procedures may vary slightly for individuals. It could be because of numerous factors, such as differing types of implants, volume requirements, underlying conditions, or any additional treatments needed for optimal results. There are other factors as well (such as the clinic’s prestige or a practitioner’s expertise) that might affect the final bill. However, even with these frequent fluctuations, we can still get some close approximations for a few of these treatments.

Standard Silicone Implants	20,000 AED – 25,000 AED.
Saline Implants	18,000 AED – 20,000 AED .

Motiva Breast Implants	20,000 AED – 35,000 AED.
Natrelle (Allergan) Breast Implants	22,000 AED – 35,000 AED.
Combination Surgery	28,000 AED – 38,000 AED.
Revision or Replacement Surgery	25,000 AED – 35,000 AED.

Who Are The Ideal Candidates For Breast Implants?

According to the experts, certain individuals are more likely to benefit from breast enhancement procedures. Here are some characteristics that are common in such individuals.

Good candidates are generally healthy, without any concerns or suspicions regarding active infections or disorders.
They are typically at least 20+ years old and have clear issues related to the appearance or size of their breasts.
Their skin, particularly in the chest region, is suitably elastic, and their breast tissue is otherwise healthy.
They want to restore their natural look after a cancer removal surgery or severe physical damage.
They have clear goals, realistic expectations, and understand the limitations of these treatments.

Who Should Avoid Breast Implant Surgery?

Specialists advise against these surgical procedures for certain types of patients. They usually have one or more of the following characteristics.

An active infection or disorder that might impair recovery after surgery.
Untreated cancer or carcinoma present inside the breast tissue.
Pregnant or regularly breastfeeding a baby.
Conditions or diseases that interfere with healing or blood flow.
A history of autoimmune conditions, such as lupus or scleroderma.

What Conditions Can Be Treated With Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation procedures, particularly those involving implants, can be used to treat a variety of conditions. Some of these are listed below.

Breast asymmetry.
Breast tissue atrophy or volume loss.
Hypoplasia, or underdeveloped breasts.
Post-mastectomy or injury issues.
Aging-related sagging.
Size changes after pregnancy or weight loss.

Popular Types of Breast Implants:

A number of implants have been developed by experts, with a variety of useful features and qualities that serve different purposes in breast augmentation procedures. Here is a brief overview of some of the common types of these devices.

By Filling Material:

Silicone: A substance with a thick, gel-like consistency that mimics the feel of natural breast tissue.
Saline: The traditional filling solution, made of sterile salt water, which can be naturally absorbed by the body in case of a leak.
Structured Saline: A hybrid that is filled with standard saline but has an internal structure that gives it a more natural feel.
Form-Stable Gel: A highly cohesive and thicker form of silicone gel that is better at keeping its shape even in case of rupture.

By Shape:

Round: The most common options. They are symmetrical and produce a more uniform fullness, which might feel slightly unnatural.
Teardrop: Also known as anatomical or gummy bear implants, these are designed in a teardrop shape to resemble the gentle slope of natural breasts.

By Surface Texture:

Smooth: These implants move more easily with the surrounding tissue or muscle and feel a lot softer.
Textured: These are designed to grip the surrounding tissue so the implant doesn’t slip or rotate during movement.

Common Implant and Incision Placements in Breast Augmentation:

There is considerable variety in the surgical procedures that are used to insert these implants. Here are some important points regarding the types of incisions made and the common positions where the implants are placed.

Implant Positions:

Subfascial breast augmentation:

The implant is placed under the thick fibrous tissue (or fascia) that covers the chest muscle. This placement looks more natural and doesn’t require us to disturb the actual muscle.

Submuscular placement:

The implant is placed under the chest or pectoral muscle, which improves natural tissue coverage but might require a longer recovery period.

Subglandular placement:

The implant is inserted behind the breast tissue and in front of the chest muscle. This placement sacrifices some of the natural feel but significantly reduces recovery time.

Dual plane breast augmentation:

This is an advanced technique where the implant is positioned partially under the chest muscle and partially under the breast tissue to provide optimal fullness and tissue coverage.

Incision Positions:

Inframammary fold incision:

This is the most common approach used during these procedures. The incisions are made at the natural crease present under the breasts. It is easier to hide the surgical scar in this natural fold.

Periareolar incision:

Small incisions are made along the bottom edge of the dark skin surrounding the nipple, otherwise known as the areola. This site conceals the scar easily, but there is a slight risk of sensitivity loss and problems with future breastfeeding.

Transaxillary incision:

The incisions are made within the armpit to avoid any scarring on the breasts themselves. However, this approach makes it harder to adjust and align the implant in its place.

How To Prepare For Breast Augmentation?

Surgeons and specialists often provide a list of guidelines and instructions for their patients to help them prepare suitably and to ensure they get the best results out of their treatment. We’ve compiled a few of these guidelines in the following list.

Consult a qualified surgeon and clarify your goals for the procedure.
Complete the standard blood and breast imaging tests.
Avoid any medications and supplements restricted by the doctor.
Refrain from consuming nicotine or alcohol products.
Arrange for a caregiver to drive you home after surgery.
Prepare a designated space at home for your recovery.
Cook and freeze a few days’ worth of food to use during downtime.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the day of the surgery.
Don’t wear any jewelry or makeup on the day of your procedure.

The Breast Implantation Procedure:

The implant surgery typically takes approximately 1 or 2 hours and has a few key stages. Here is what happens during each of these steps.

Consultation:

These meetings involve discussions with your surgeon about your medical history, goals, and preferences for the procedure. They also conduct or prescribe some tests to determine if this particular treatment is suitable for your needs.

Anesthesia:

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation to ensure you are comfortably asleep and don’t feel pain during any part of the process.

Incisions:

The surgeons carefully make the necessary incisions (at any of the common positions we’ve discussed earlier) and use these openings to create a pocket in the breast, where the implant can be placed.

Insertion / Positioning:

Your surgeon will deposit the implants through the openings in the breast tissues and adjust their shape or position for natural and symmetrical results.

Note: The filling of saline implants is typically injected after the sacs are positioned within the breast. In contrast, silicone implants are inserted with their filling already in the sac.

Closing Incisions:

The surgeons close the surgical incisions carefully (using either dissolving sutures, medical tape, or skin adhesive for the purpose) and secure the treated areas further with bandages to prevent the movement or slipping of the implants.

Useful Guidelines for Aftercare and Recovery:

Surgeons and specialists often provide a list of guidelines and instructions for their patients to ease their recovery and ensure they get the best results without any complications. We’ve gathered a few of these guidelines in the following list.

Wear a soft, supportive compression bra to minimize swelling and keep the implants in their proper place and shape until they’re settled.
Keep the incision sites clean and dry. Take prescribed pain medication or antibiotics exactly as instructed by your doctor.
Sleep on your back with your head and shoulders elevated, especially during the first few weeks of recovery.
Avoid too much arm movement or strenuous physical activities, including driving, for at least 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery.
Don’t submerge your body in water during the recovery phase; avoid hot tubs, baths, and swimming pools; take only quick showers.
Stay hydrated and eat nutritious food to support tissue repair and healing.

Are Breast Enhancement Procedures Safe?

Most of the augmentation procedures preferred for the correction and improvement of the female breast tissue, specifically implants, are considered safe in the medical community. Both of the most popular types of implants, saline and silicone, are approved by the FDA and have very high success rates for most patients (typically more than 95 or 98%). That said, all surgical procedures carry risk and have at least some potential for complications. However, we will discuss these risks further in the section regarding common side effects.

A Simplified Results Timeline For Breast Augmentation:

Phase	Time	Results
The Acute Phase	Days 1 – 3	Your breasts might feel tight and swollen. A surgical or compression bra is recommended.
Initial Settling	Weeks 1 – 2	The initial side effects and pain gradually subside. Avoid strenuous activities and sleeping on your stomach or side.
Dropping & Fluffing	Weeks 3 – 6	Chest muscles and the tissue surrounding the implants begin to relax, making them drop and settle slowly.
Refining & Softening	Months 2 – 3	Breasts feel significantly softer and move more naturally as the residual swelling subsides.
Final Results	Months 6 – 12	The implants are fully settled as the surrounding tissue regrows and holds them more firmly. The incision scars also begin to fade and flatten.

Breast Implants Before and After Effects:

The effects of breast augmentation are almost immediately visible, though the implants might take some time to settle properly into the surrounding tissue. Here is a brief look at the appearance of a few patients before and after their implant procedure.

Key Benefits Of Breast Implants:

Here are a few of the common benefits of breast augmentation.

Improved proportions and symmetry of the breasts.
Restoration of any volume lost due to pregnancy or weight loss.
Clothes fit better, and the body contours are improved.
More confidence in appearance and greater self-esteem.
A highly personalized and adjustable treatment.

Common Side Effects And Risks of Breast Enhancement:

Here are a few of the potential risks and side effects of breast implants. Note that most of these side effects and complications are very rare among patients.

Pain
Bruising
Swelling
Infections
Slipping or shifting of implants

Alternative Treatments For Breast Enhancement:

Although implants are the most popular and preferred method to correct issues related to breast size and shape, they are not the only options available. Patients have, at their disposal, a wide variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures that help them achieve the ideal look. Here are some of these alternatives we should note.

Surgical Alternatives:

Fat Transfer (also known as Autologous Augmentation):

Surgeons collect fat from the patient’s body, typically out of unwanted deposits in the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction techniques. They then inject this fat into the breasts to increase their volume (normally by 1 or 1.5 cup sizes) and make them softer and more contoured.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy):

The specialists use breast lift surgeries to correct drooping or skin laxity in the chest area. They tighten the skin, remove excess skin, and reshape the breast tissue slightly to make the breasts look more youthful and symmetrical.

Hybrid Breast Augmentation:

The experts can sometimes combine these surgeries to provide more robust results. Generally, a mastopexy is combined with either implant insertion or fat transfer procedures to make the breasts look more natural and full.

Non-surgical Alternatives:

Dermal Fillers (Collagen Stimulators):

Injections containing active ingredients (typically hyaluronic acid) that increase collagen production, blood circulation, and lock moisture in skin tissue to add slight volume and adjust mild issues in the contour of the breasts.

PRP Injections (Platelet-Rich Plasma):

Plasma and platelets isolated from the patient’s blood are injected into the breast tissue to trigger tissue repair and increase cellular regeneration in the area.

Laser or Radiofrequency Therapy:

Focused laser or RF energy heats the breast tissue and stimulates the production of more collagen, as well as a natural healing response, which helps correct mild flaws and defects in the breasts.

Suction Devices:

Vacuum devices that provide continuous suction to gradually expand the breast tissue and provide a slight lift. These options are usually less popular because their results are often temporary.

A Note On Breast Implant Profiles and Sizes:

During the consultations for these implant procedures, you will frequently come across terms like profiles and implant cc sizes. Understanding what these mean is very important to get the right shape and implant size selection for your needs. So, here is a simple breakdown of the different profiles and sizes available for implants.

Profiles

Profile	Features
Low	Wide base and minimal forward projection.
Moderate	Balanced ratio of base width and forward projection.
High	Narrow base and maximum forward projection

CC Sizes

Size	Volume
Small	125 – 250 cc.
Medium	250 – 400 cc.
Large	400 – 500 cc.
Very Large	Over 500 cc.
