Personalised care, natural-looking results

Who Is a Good Candidate

  • ✓Women seeking increased breast volume or improved symmetry
  • ✓Fully developed breast tissue (generally 18+)
  • ✓Good general health, non-smokers preferred
  • ✓Realistic expectations about size and appearance, understanding implants are not lifetime devices

Procedure Details

Performed under general anesthesia. An incision (commonly in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or occasionally the armpit) is used to create a pocket either above or below the chest muscle, into which a saline or silicone implant is placed. Duration is typically 1-2 hours.

Recovery Timeline

  1. Day 1-3 Soreness, tightness and swelling are expected; a supportive surgical bra is worn.
  2. Week 1 Most everyday activities resume; heavy lifting and strenuous exercise are avoided.
  3. Week 2-3 Return to work for desk-based jobs; swelling continues to reduce.
  4. Week 6 Most exercise, including upper-body workouts, can typically resume.
  5. Month 3-6 Implants settle into their final position and shape ("drop and fluff").

Risks & Complications

As with any procedure, individual risk depends on your health history and will be discussed fully during consultation.

  • !Capsular contracture (firm scar tissue around the implant)
  • !Implant rupture or leakage over time
  • !Changes in nipple or breast sensation
  • !Asymmetry
  • !Infection or bleeding
  • !Need for future revision or replacement surgery

Dr. Karan Ratna Pradhan's Approach

Dr. Pradhan's practice is built on the principle that plastic and reconstructive surgery should look natural, not "done." Every consultation starts with listening to what you want to change and why, followed by an honest discussion of what this procedure can and can't achieve for your specific anatomy, with techniques adapted case-by-case.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do breast implants last?
Implants are not considered lifetime devices; many last well over a decade, but you should expect the possibility of replacement at some point.
Will I be able to breastfeed afterward?
Most techniques are designed to preserve breastfeeding ability, though this is discussed individually based on incision choice.
Saline or silicone - which is better?
Both are approved options with different feel and look; this is discussed in detail based on your anatomy and goals.
When can I sleep on my stomach again?
Usually after about 4-6 weeks, once swelling has settled and the implants have started to stabilize.
