Breast augmentation surgery, also known as “boob job” or “augmentation mammoplasty,” is a surgical procedure to enhance breast size and shape. It is a process that helps women achieve the body they want. Whether it’s through fat grafting or breast implants, this procedure can give women larger breasts to make their frame more proportionate.
Breast augmentation can be done through two different methods, depending on the individual situation:
Here are a few of the reasons women opt for breast augmentation or breast enlargement surgery:
Breast augmentation is a surgery that should be done only after professional advice and should not be based on personal decisions. This is because it can cause mental acceptance issues if the patient has not fully understood it.

Yes, breast augmentation can be combined with other cosmetic procedures. The most common procedures that are combined with breast augmentation are breast lift, asymmetry correction, liposuction, and tummy tuck. Breast augmentation can also be performed along with other procedures as part of a mommy makeover package.
During the consultation for breast augmentation, Dr. Vasant Gholave, experienced cosmetic surgeon and founder of Arra Aesthetics, Pune, will examine the current condition of the patient, the patient’s breasts, and discuss their desired size and the patient’s expectations. He will take all of these into account and advise the patient as to which breast augmentation procedure is most suitable for their needs.
After the type of procedure has been determined by the patient and the surgeon, Dr. Gholave will describe the procedure to the patient in detail, including the type and size of breast implants or from which body part the fat should be extracted.
At Arra Aesthetics, Pune, our priority is the patient’s safety and satisfaction, so Dr. Vasant Gholave will analyze every aspect of the procedure and give the best possible results.
Breast augmentation surgery is generally an outpatient procedure and the patient will be able to return home the same day as the procedure.
The patient may have some swelling and soreness after the surgery, but both should disappear after a few days. The surgeon may prescribe painkillers for the patient’s comfort and antibiotics to prevent infection. The patient will also be asked to wear a sports bra for 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery. In the case of fat grafting, the patient will also have to wear compression garments in the areas where liposuction was done.
In most cases, the patient will be able to return to work and daily activities within a week without any strenuous discomfort. Rigorous exercise will be prohibited for at least 2 to 3 weeks to give the breasts time to heal fully. The patient will be asked to walk at least 3 times daily to improve circulation and prevent blood clots.
The patient will be advised to diligently attend the follow-up appointments with the surgeon to carefully analyze the results and the recovery.
Like all surgeries, there are a few risks associated with breast augmentation surgery. They are:
These risks can be avoided if utmost care is taken during the procedure and recovery process.
Breast augmentation surgery is not covered by insurance since it is a cosmetic procedure. When it comes to the overall breast augmentation surgery cost, be it breast implant surgery or fat grafting/fat transfer breast augmentation, the following factors are included:
The cost of breast augmentation surgery will differ based on several factors, such as the condition of the breasts, the type and quality of breast implants, the kind of operation (first-time or revision surgery), and the type of procedure.
The average cost of breast augmentation ranges from Rs. 1,00,000/- to Rs. 1,50,000/- + 18% GST at Arra Aesthetics, Pune. Dr. Vasant Gholave will discuss every aspect of the cost of breast augmentation surgery with you during consultation.
Dr. Vasant Gholave, founder of Arra Aesthetics, Pune, might give you certain instructions that need to be followed before the breast augmentation procedure takes place, like:
Breast implants are not designed to be a lifetime device, and most women will eventually need to have them replaced. The average lifespan of silicone or saline breast implants is 10-12 years.
The safety of silicone and saline breast implants has been well-established over the past several decades. Breast implants are made of safe, biocompatible materials that are well tolerated by the body.
The most common side effects of breast implant surgery are pain, swelling, and bruising. These side effects are typically temporary and will go away on their own within a couple of weeks.
It is generally recommended that women wait to have a breast augmentation until after they have finished having children. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause changes in the breasts that may impact the results of the surgery.
If performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, the incisions for breast augmentation are usually very small and well-hidden. The scars will continue to fade over time and will eventually be nearly invisible.
