For every woman, appearance matters, and the breasts are a significant part of a woman’s beauty.
Cosmetic surgery for women was not widely accepted in Nigeria, but as times change, so do trends, and more women are becoming receptive to these procedures. However, despite this increase, many women avoid surgery due to fear of the procedure and concerns about unsatisfactory results.

Our Breast Plastic Surgery Procedures
Breast Augmentation
This is the process of using a surgical procedure to change the size and shape of the breasts, which can be done in two ways:
Silicone and Saline Implants
One of the procedures used to augment the size and shape of the breasts involves the insertion of silicone gel in the armpit or breast fold, under the breast tissue, to achieve the desired shape. Alternatively, sterile salt water can be inserted into the armpit, areola, or below the breasts. These types of implants typically last between 10 to 20 years, with silicone lasting longer than saline implants. However, the size, choice, feel, and firmness can also dictate your decision.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
This procedure involves extracting fat from the patient’s body, either from the abdomen or thighs, and injecting it into the breasts. This method aims to mimic the natural feel of the breast since the surgeon uses your own tissue to create it. While this procedure cannot achieve the same size as implants, it is safer for individuals with a considerable amount of fat, and not all patients are suitable candidates to ensure there are no complications.
Breast Reduction Surgery
While many women enjoy the idea of having large breasts, it can cause discomfort for others. Having large breasts can lead to extra weight, resulting in problems such as back pain, neck strain, and difficulty performing activities, sometimes requiring medical attention. Therefore, some individuals opt for breast reduction surgery.
Relief from Discomfort and Improved Proportion
By removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, we can achieve a proportionate breast size that fits the body. This improves our patients’ body image and helps them reduce the strain and discomfort they have been experiencing.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A Breast Lift or Mastopexy is a procedure that addresses sagging breasts by lifting them, removing excess skin, and repositioning the breast tissue. This helps the breast regain a defined look.
Address Sagging and Restore Shape
There are many reasons for a woman’s breasts to sag, ranging from childbirth, aging, and breastfeeding to changes in body size (such as significant weight loss).
The benefit of this procedure is that the breasts are tightened, and the tissues become firmer.
Breast Reconstruction Surgery
After a mastectomy, tissues removed during the surgery are replaced through two methods.
Post-Mastectomy Reconstruction Options
There is the:
- Implant reconstruction
- Flap reconstruction
After the surgery, some tissues need to be recreated, which is what reconstruction is used for. For implant reconstruction, the surgeon uses a silicone or saline-filled implant to recreate the breast so the shape is restored. In contrast, the tissue-flap method involves using tissues from other body parts, such as skin, fat, or muscle from the abdomen or thigh, to reconstruct the breast and achieve a more natural look.
Which Should You Choose?
If you want to recover faster, the surgeon indicates you don’t have enough tissue, and you prefer a less invasive process, then you should opt for implant reconstruction. However, if you prioritize a natural breast feel, have sufficient tissue, and are concerned about rupture or contracture, the tissue-flap method should be your choice.
Advanced Techniques in Breast Plastic Surgery
Breast plastic surgery is a procedure that should be carefully planned, and the best part of current research is that there are now advanced techniques that make this process easier. At AHD, we have adopted two of these advanced techniques.
3D Imaging for Surgical Planning
Once a diagnosis is made and the surgeon has determined the procedure you will undergo, they will create a 3D model of the operative procedure. This aids in mapping out the size and shape of the implant, breast tissue, fat distribution, muscle placement, and blood vessels. This way, there is a planned outcome, reducing the likelihood of errors before the surgery even begins, assuring you that you are in safe hands.
Minimally Invasive Techniques for Faster Recovery
One reason many people fear surgical procedures is the delayed recovery and scarring. For breast surgery, many women want to avoid tissue disruption and recover quickly. With minimally invasive techniques, our surgeons make smaller incisions using specialized tools like tiny cameras, which guide the surgeon to enhance precision. This method also reduces tissue trauma, pain, and swelling post surgery.
The 3D technique can be used to plan the placement of implants using the minimally invasive approach.
Patient-Centered Care
Deciding to undergo breast plastic surgery is a significant decision, so we have created a detailed plan for patient care as you embark on your journey to achieving your desired physical appearance. This involves helping you understand the various options available, the lifestyle changes you may need to make, and how to care for yourself throughout the process. Here are the forms of patient centered care we offer:
Pre- and Post-Surgery Counseling
We provide counseling before and after the surgery to address the physical and emotional aspects of the procedure. Through these sessions, we inform you of the instructions to follow, discuss your goals, review your medical history, clarify the outcomes you are seeking, present different surgery options, and outline recovery expectations.
Before the surgery, we also assess how you feel about your body, help you set realistic goals, connect you with mental health professionals, and educate you on all risks, benefits, and alternatives.
After the surgery, we provide instructions on managing pain, caring for wounds, restricting activities, using compression garments, following a diet plan, and knowing when to reach out with concerns. After surgery, you may experience emotional fluctuations such as anxiety and depression; therefore, we ensure to follow up, monitor healing, provide support, and address any feelings or complications.
Long-Term Support for Recovery and Results
At AHD, we offer patient-centered care for individuals undergoing breast plastic surgery from the time of counseling until after the surgery. We monitor for potential contracture or displacement if you receive implants.
If there is a need for revision, long-term care helps us identify that. We also encourage patients to lead a healthy lifestyle after surgery by helping them establish the right exercises, diet, and habits.
Understanding our patients is also a priority, as we listen to learn more about their perspectives to create a tailored plan for them. We recognize that some patients may have reservations about the procedures due to cultural factors, and we address those concerns.as well.
With the cooperation of our surgeons, psychologists, nurses, dieticians, and other professionals, we provide the best patient-centered care possible
Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Plastic Surgery
To determine which breast surgery is the right fit for you, consult a board-certified plastic surgeon who will guide you through the process by asking the right questions and conducting necessary tests. This surgeon will assess your needs, goals, current breast size, shape, desired outcome, and skin condition.
Avoid making decisions based on random advertisements or the outcomes of someone else’s procedure. Visit our website today to book a session with our specialists. Also, ensure you ask your questions, clarify any confusion, satisfy your curiosity, and be open with information.
In the first few days after your surgery, you will experience soreness, swelling, and bruising, but these will gradually reduce over a few weeks. Most patients can resume some activities after one or two weeks. For 4 to 6 weeks following your surgery, avoid heavy work and adhere to the surgeon’s instructions. Prioritize wearing a supportive bra and do not miss your follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
After surgery, some patients may have drainage tubes around incision sites to reduce excess fluid. These tubes will be removed by the surgeon when appropriate.
Rest is essential, and don’t forget to ask your surgeon questions while keeping them informed about your condition.
The recovery process and duration depend on the type of surgery, individual body type, and the technique used.
Results from breast augmentation may last longer, but they are not permanent. Breast implants typically last about 10 to 20 years. The longevity of your results greatly depends on the type of implant, body’s response, and your lifestyle.
For implants, you will need replacements once they wear out, but breast reduction tends to have some degree of permanence. However, we do not claim that results are permanent, as shape can be affected by weight changes, aging, and pregnancy.
