Breast Augmentation

The cost of breast augmentation surgery in Pakistan ranges between 150,000 to 200,000 PKR. The price range can vary based on the required procedure and the surgeon you consult.

Breast augmentation is usually performed for cosmetic reasons rather than for treating a specific medical diagnosis. However, certain conditions or circumstances can lead individuals to consider breast augmentation. These include;

Micromastia: It is a condition during which women have underdeveloped breasts. This can lead to self-esteem issues. Breast augmentation surgery is often sought to improve body proportion and confidence.

Breast Asymmetry: Breast augmentation surgery helps achieve a balanced, symmetrical appearance for those with a significant size difference in their breasts.

Mastectomy: A mastectomy is a surgery that removes one or both breasts, often due to breast cancer. Breast augmentation as part of reconstruction can restore breast shape and size post-mastectomy.

Lumpectomy: This surgical procedure removes a breast tumor and surrounding tissue. Breast augmentation can be used post-lumpectomy to restore breast volume and symmetry, enhancing the body contour.

Congenital Anomalies: Conditions such as Poland Syndrome or tuberous breasts can cause abnormal development. Breast augmentation helps correct these anomalies, boosting self-confidence.

Post-Pregnancy and Post-Breastfeeding Changes: Hormonal changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter the breast’s appearance. Augmentation surgery can help restore the shape and size of the breast.

Significant Weight Loss: Sudden drastic weight loss can decrease breast volume, resulting in sagging breasts. Breast augmentation can restore volume and shape.
