Is Asian Breast Augmentation painful?

Asian breast augmentation is a complex and major surgery that will require anesthesia. While some pain is usual after surgery, most patients say it was “less than what they expected.” We will give you good pain medication that takes the edge off. Many patients describe the pain as similar to the soreness one experiences if one has not done chest muscle workouts for a while and then does a bunch at the gym. Bruising and swelling are common post-surgery.

Does the Breast Go Over or Under the Muscle?

For many women, placing the implant under the muscle is the preferred placement because it results in a more natural look and feel. However, there are circumstances when placing the implant over the muscle will be recommended. Placing the implant over the muscle gives a better result when there is some droopiness. It is also used if one wants a rounder look.

How Many appointments will I need?

As Asian breast augmentation is reasonably major surgery, you will need several appointments, including consultation, surgery, and post-surgery follow-up. Post-surgery follow-up appointments will vary according to individual patient medical history and recovery progression, checking to make sure the surgery went well and there are no complications.

How long until I see results?

The results of breast augmentation will be immediately apparent. However, the final results may take up to 3 to 6 months or longer as the swelling subsides and the skin adjusts to the implants. To achieve optimal results, follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions.

Can I Combine Asian Breast Augmentation with Other Procedures?

Yes. Common procedures that can be combined simultaneously include a breast lift or tummy tuck , although virtually any procedure can be combined. A complementary procedure may enable you to achieve an enhanced result that addresses more than one concern at the same time, so you won’t have to undergo the experience of two separate surgical procedures and their related recovery periods. However, you can also schedule them at separate times if you are more comfortable doing so. Please consult your surgeon with questions regarding additional surgical or non-surgical procedures and treatments. At Edelstein Cosmetic, your health and safety is the most important thing.

What Are the Risks Associated with Asian Breast Augmentation?

As with all surgeries, there are some risks associated with breast augmentation. At Edelstein Cosmetic in Toronto, ON, our doctors perform careful, advanced surgical techniques to avoid complications. However, there is still a very slight (1%) risk of capsular contracture. Other risks and complications from breast augmentation surgery can include: Bleeding Changes in nipple or breast sensation Seroma (fluid accumulation) Hematoma (blood accumulation) Capsular contracture Implant rupture or leakage Pain Infection Poor scarring Need for revision surgery For additional information, visit our general breast augmentation page.

Asian Breast Augmentation Introduction

Many Asian women are petite, and because of this, they tend to have smaller breasts than women of other ethnicities. In 2011, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) found that there were 809,939 cosmetic procedures performed on Asians. The second most popular procedure recorded was breast augmentation.

While many Asian women wish to change the size and/or shape of their breasts, most do not want a drastic enhancement. At Edelstein Cosmetic in Toronto, ON, we seek to provide the most natural look and feel possible for our Asian breast augmentation patients by helping them select an implant size and type that will give them the improvement they desire.

What is Asian Breast Augmentation?

Even though it may seem that there are very few differences between Asian breast augmentation and any other, we must approach all variables carefully to avoid causing unnecessary complications and negative results. Consideration of every individual’s unique needs leads to better results and greater satisfaction.

Asian breast patients constitute a significant percentage of the overall number of breast augmentations that our surgeons perform at Edelstein Cosmetic. Our patients come from Toronto, ON, and even further or were referred by the family and friends of previous patients. They select our surgeons at Edelstein Cosmetic for their ability to understand their unique traits and preferences.

Our surgeons at Edelstein Cosmetic use a technique known as dimensional breast augmentation to help their patients choose the best implant size or style. Every woman has a different body type and goal, meaning that the same implant won’t be satisfactory for all patients. Dimensional breast augmentation solves this problem by using a formula that calculates pre-surgery body measurements and expectations. This helps the surgeon to find the most appropriate implant size and style to achieve the most natural-looking results.

To ensure that the formula works — and to help you visualize the prospective change — you will be given different sizes of breast implants to try on and assess. This ensures that the post-operative results will be as close to your intended results as possible. If trying on a certain size looks or feels unnatural, it’s easy to change before going forward with your Asian plastic surgery.

At Edelstein Cosmetic, we customize surgical techniques to minimize scarring. Most Asian women tend to leave behind greater or more noticeable scarring as part of the healing process. These scars tend to be darker or abnormally large (hypertrophic).

Another complication comes with petite patients who naturally have smaller body dimensions, with smaller nipples and less defined infra-mammary folds. These factors can make breast augmentation more challenging for a surgeon who hasn’t had much experience treating such patients.

What Are the Benefits of Asian Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation in Toronto enables you to:

Feel sexier and more attractive.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Asian Breast Augmentation?

The best candidates for the Asian breast augmentation procedure in Toronto include:

Women who would like larger breasts
Correcting asymmetrical breasts
Lost breast size due to pregnancy, weight loss, or breastfeeding
Filling out a swimsuit or bikini
A slight amount of breast drooping
Volume loss in the breasts.

It is recommended that women have finished breastfeeding for 3-4 months before the consultation to get an accurate idea of their current and future breast size. Realistic expectations before the procedure are also important in feeling happy and satisfied with your results. Speaking with the surgeon and discussing goals and expectations are necessary and important to the success of the procedure.

Things to Consider for Your Asian Breast Augmentation

The first important issue women have to consider before their Asian breast augmentation is the choice between silicone and saline breast implants. Each type of implant has its own advantages and benefits, and some types of implants are better suited to the individual patient than others.

Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel and have a natural “fleshy feel.” Depending on the size, they may require a slightly longer incision but have a much less chance of rippling (noticeable waviness in the skin).

The silicone implant family includes two types of implants: moderately cohesive implants and highly cohesive silicone implants. The cohesive types of silicone implants are often called “Gummy Bear Implants.” The highly cohesive type of silicone does not flow within the implant shell or leak, even if the shell were to ever become damaged. The highly cohesive silicone implant is usually manufactured in a teardrop or anatomical shape. It is slightly firmer and moves less naturally than moderately cohesive silicone implants, which are round and most commonly used.

Saline Breast Implants

Saline breast implants are filled with IV fluids. They require a smaller incision than larger silicone gel implants. They have a higher chance of rippling in very thin patients, and some women believe they do not feel as natural as silicone implants. The newest type of saline implant is called the “Ideal Implant,” and it has been manufactured to behave more like a silicone implant, with a better feel and less rippling. Unfortunately, it is no longer available in Canada.

Regardless of the implant a woman selects for her Asian breast augmentation, there is always a risk of deflation, though this risk is relatively low at 1% being replaced per year. All implants have a lifespan of 15-20 years and a replacement warranty. During the consultation, the surgeon will discuss the different types of implants and their advantages and also help choose between the main manufacturers of breast implants: Mentor and Allergan, which are almost identical.

Placing the implant over the muscle is often recommended for women who already have mild droopiness because the implant can better lift the breast in this location. Female bodybuilders who pose on stage often choose to place the implant over the muscle. This is called subglandular placement.

Incisions for Asian Breast Augmentation

There is no difference between a breast augmentation procedure and an Asian breast augmentation procedure, but the incision site may be different to minimize scarring on the Asian body. Due to darker skin, the scarring can appear darker and thicker. Nevertheless, Edelstein Cosmetic offers a post-surgery scar treatment that minimizes scarring in Asian skin.

The most common location for the incision is in the fold under the breast because the complication rate is the lowest. For Asian breast augmentation, the incision can also be made in the armpit and, in some cases, partway around the edge of the areola, which hides the scar at the border between the darker areola and lighter surrounding skin.

Pocket Selection

Once the incision is made, space is created for the implant, called the Pocket.

There are three options for pocket placement:

Under the breast and chest muscle (called Subpectoral) – this is most commonly used in women with minimal breast tissue for a more natural result
Under the breast itself (Submammary and Subfascial) – recommended for women with droopiness or those who want a rounder look.

Take the First Step

What’s the first step?

The first step in getting an Asian breast augmentation is to schedule a surgical consultation at Edelstein Cosmetic. During the consultation, your surgeon will take measurements of your frame to be able to recommend a range of implant sizes that would suit your body. The size or projection is classified from low to extra full/high profile. The higher the profile, the more the implant sticks out, and the larger the breast will look.

Patients are also encouraged to bring in pictures of their expected look, review the clinic’s before and after photos, and try on implant sizes at the clinic. These are ways to work with your surgeon to achieve the look you want from your Asian breast augmentation procedure.

Before your surgery, you’ll be advised not to take vitamin E, any aspirin-based medications, and a list of other supplements for two weeks before surgery. The use of alcohol before surgery should also be avoided because it can compromise your recovery. You should not drink for a week leading up to surgery. A full list of instructions will be provided to you.

What to Expect on the Day of Asian Breast Augmentation Surgery

On the day of your Asian breast augmentation, after you arrive at the surgical facility, you will meet with your surgeon and review the plans for your procedure. Once you are ready, an anesthesiologist will administer your anesthesia for a comfortable procedure.

Asian breast augmentation is performed in the same way as a traditional breast implant procedure, with your surgeon beginning by making the appropriate incisions to elevate the breast tissue and create a pocket for the implants. Your surgeon will then use the Keller No Touch Technique to place the implant into the pocket created. As mentioned above, the implants can be placed either below the breast tissue above the pectoral muscles or under the pectoral muscles. The incision will then be closed with surgical sutures.

Asian breast augmentation is a relatively short procedure that usually lasts about an hour.

Asian Breast Augmentation Recovery

After the Asian breast augmentation procedure, the patient will be moved to the recovery room and monitored by nurses until they awake and feel ready to go home. If accompanied by a family member or friend, patients can leave on the same day.

Patients usually feel comfortable returning to work one week after their procedure if they have a sedentary job, such as working at a desk. For more strenuous jobs, two weeks off work may be necessary. Patients can resume light cardio, leg, and abdominal exercises three weeks after surgery.

Upper body weight training, yoga, Pilates, martial arts, etc., must wait until six weeks and only after clearance from the surgeon. Follow-up appointments will also be scheduled for two months and six months after surgery.

After an Asian breast augmentation, most patients experience soreness and tightness in their chest for several days. This is to be expected, and pain medication will be prescribed to deal with discomfort. Due to the surgical techniques we use, breast massage is not necessary.

Resting and relaxing at home for a few days post-surgery will aid in a fast and full recovery. Strenuous activities should be avoided. It is permissible to lift one’s arms overhead (.e.g, to wash your hair or to get a glass from a shelf). It is recommended that the patient initially tolerate clear fluids before resuming a normal, healthy diet.

If the breast has a bit of a droop, the fold under the breast is a likely spot for the site of the incision. This incision will be hidden by the natural lines and contour of the patient’s breast. It also has the lowest risk of capsular contracture.

Immediately after their surgery, many women may feel that their breast implants appear artificial or are placed too high. This is normal and may take 4-6 months to settle. Some patients also experience tightness in their implants for a few weeks after the surgery.

Throughout the settling process, the patient will notice that the breast implants begin to look and feel more natural as their healing and recovery progress. Patients are always welcome to contact Edelstein Cosmetic with any concerns.
