Augmentation mastopexy combines a breast lift with breast implants in a single operation to raise sagging breasts and restore fullness in the upper breast.

A lift raises the breast and nipple and removes loose skin, while an implant restores fullness in the upper breast. Doing both at once is more complex than either alone, and some surgeons prefer separate operations when a large lift is needed.

The UK medicines regulator (MHRA) records that BIA-ALCL, a rare lymphoma, is chiefly linked to textured implants, at about 1 case per 12,187 implants sold, and it does not advise removing implants that cause no symptoms.

The lift leaves scars around the areola, frequently with a vertical line beneath it.

Plan one to two weeks away from work and a number of weeks without heavy lifting, and expect that implants could need replacing in future.

Fitness to fly: aviation guidance does not give a figure for cosmetic surgery, so book your flight after the wound check and move around the cabin regularly.

In Chennai, the price of augmentation mastopexy is generally built from these parts:

• Tests before surgery: blood work, an ECG and an anaesthetic review.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: billed largely on operating time.
• Surgeon's fee: which reflects experience.
• GST: may be charged, because cosmetic surgery does not count as exempt healthcare.
• Extent of lift: and scar pattern.
• Implant type and size: which affect cost.
• One stage or two: combined or separate.
• Anaesthesia and stay: general, frequently overnight.

Cosmetic surgery in Chennai is generally self-funded, so ask whether the price covers GST, anaesthetist fees, support garments and follow-up appointments.

Plastic surgery in Chennai is offered in hospitals and day-care clinics, and for any procedure under general anaesthetic it is safer to choose a setting with intensive care on site.

Hospitals in Chennai can hold NABH accreditation, India's national quality standard set by a board of the Quality Council of India and itself accredited by ISQua, and the NABH website shows whether an accreditation is still valid.

Before booking cosmetic surgery in Chennai, find the surgeon on the Indian Medical Register run by the National Medical Commission and ask which state council registration they hold.

If a Chennai hospital runs an international patient service, ask whether it can provide the invitation letter for your e-Medical visa and arrange airport collection, interpreters and nearby accommodation.
