Detailed Overview
Breast augmentation, medically referred to as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to increase breast size and enhance breast shape. It involves the placement of implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles. This procedure is perfect for those who wish to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, achieve a more rounded breast shape, or improve natural breast size asymmetry.
Dr. Oudit’s expertise in this field ensures that each procedure is customized to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. He employs the latest techniques and implant technology to ensure safety, minimal scarring, and beautiful, natural-looking results.
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are those in good health, have realistic expectations, and seek improvement, not perfection. During the initial consultation, Dr. Oudit evaluates your physical and emotional health, discusses your aesthetic goals, and explains what you can realistically expect from the surgery.
Why It’s Done
Empowering Change: Understanding the Reasons Behind Breast Augmentation
Breast enlargement surgery is sought for various personal and medical reasons. Primarily, it addresses concerns related to:
- Enhancing breast size for women who feel their breasts are too small or disproportionate to their body frame.
- Restoring symmetry where one breast is noticeably smaller than the other.
- Reconstructing breasts after mastectomy or injury.
- Reversing the effects of pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss, which often lead to loss of breast volume and shape.
By choosing breast augmentation, patients embark on a transformative journey that goes beyond physical appearance. This procedure often plays a pivotal role in boosting self-esteem, enhancing body image, and promoting a more positive outlook on life. Dr. Oudit’s patient-centric approach ensures that every individual’s emotional well-being is given as much priority as the aesthetic outcome.

Procedure Steps
A Step-by-Step Guide to Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation is a meticulously planned and executed procedure. Here’s an overview of the typical steps involved:
- Anesthesia: Administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. Options include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia, chosen in consultation with Dr. Oudit.
- Incision: Incisions are made in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring. Options include inframammary incision (under the breast), periareolar incision (around the nipple), or transaxillary incision (in the armpit).
- Inserting and Placing the Implant: The breast implant is inserted into a pocket either under the pectoral muscle (submuscular placement) or directly behind the breast tissue, over the pectoral muscle (submammary/subglandular placement).
- Closing the Incisions: Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue and with sutures, skin adhesive, or surgical tape to close the skin.
- Seeing the Results: The results of breast augmentation are immediately visible. Over time, post-surgical swelling will reduce and incision lines will fade.
Dr. Oudit’s precise techniques and in-depth understanding of anatomy ensure optimal placement and minimal scarring, aiming for a natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
