Breast Augmentation
Enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence with our advanced breast augmentation procedure. Our skilled surgeons use the latest techniques and high-quality implants to achieve stunning, natural-looking results tailored to your body and aesthetic goals.
What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to increase the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts. This is typically done using breast implants (silicone gel or saline) or through fat transfer, where fat is taken from another part of the patient’s body and injected into the breasts. The goal of the procedure can vary from enhancing the breast’s overall appearance, improving symmetry, or restoring breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. The surgery is performed by making incisions in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring and is tailored to meet each patient’s aesthetic desires. Breast augmentation can help improve self-confidence and body image.
Breast augmentation surgery
This cosmetic procedure, designed to enlarge and enhance the appearance of the breasts, is performed under general anaesthesia. Patients can anticipate a customized approach tailored to their aesthetic goals, with a comprehensive consultation to explore options, set expectations, and discuss the recovery process. Whether you’re looking to restore volume lost due to pregnancy or weight loss or to achieve a desired silhouette, breast augmentation offers a practical solution to boost self-confidence in women.
Breast Implants
Breast implants are prosthetics filled with silicone used to reconstruct the breast after mastectomy, a treatment for breast cancer. These implants come in various types based on their content and structure. They consist of an impermeable silicone shell and may be filled with silicone gel or saline solution. Implants are available in round or anatomical (teardrop) shapes and can have different surface textures such as smooth, textured, or covered with a sponge-like material.
The primary uses of breast implants include breast augmentation surgeries for women with underdeveloped or naturally small breasts, or those seeking to enhance breast size following weight fluctuations or post-pregnancy changes. Additionally, they are used in breast reconstruction procedures where breast tissue has been removed due to cancer, either concurrently with mastectomy or at a later stage post-treatment. These implants are inserted into a pocket created either during mastectomy (immediate reconstruction) or at a later time, typically after a year or two of completing cancer treatments. The goal is to restore breast shape, size, and symmetry, providing aesthetic and psychological benefits to women who have undergone breast cancer treatment.
What results we can expect with Breast Augmentation Surgery
- Enhance Fullness and Projection: Achieve a fuller and more prominent breast profile, providing a more youthful and attractive appearance.
- Improve Balance of Breast and Hip Contours: Create a more harmonious balance between breasts and hips, contributing to a well-proportioned and aesthetically pleasing figure.
- Elevate Self-Image and Self-Confidence: Boost self-esteem and body confidence by addressing personal concerns about breast size and shape, leading to a more positive self-image.
- Customization to Personal Preferences: Choose from various implant types, sizes, and placement options to tailor results to specific desires and anatomical considerations.
- Reconstruction After Mastectomy: Utilize breast augmentation as part of reconstructive surgery to restore breast appearance and symmetry following mastectomy, helping patients regain a sense of normalcy and femininity.
- Restoration After Weight Loss or Pregnancy: Address changes in breast volume and firmness that can occur after significant weight loss or pregnancy, restoring a more youthful and perky breast appearance.
- Durable and Long-Lasting Results: Benefit from advances in implant technology and surgical techniques that offer durable, long-lasting results with minimal complications.
What we cannot achieve with Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation alone cannot correct significantly sagging breasts. To achieve a fuller and more lifted appearance, a breast lift should be combined with augmentation. This can often be performed simultaneously with breast augmentation, although in some cases, a separate procedure might be required. Your plastic surgeon will guide you in determining the best approach to achieve your desired results.
Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a highly personal procedure, and it’s essential to choose to undergo it for your reasons, rather than to satisfy someone else, even if they are offering to cover the costs. Patient satisfaction tends to be much higher when the decision is driven by the individual’s desires.
- You are in good physical health and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes.
- Your breasts are fully developed.
- You feel that your breasts are too small and this bothers you.
- You are unhappy with the loss of shape and volume in your breasts following pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
- You are dissatisfied with the "empty" appearance of the upper part of your breasts.
- Your breasts are asymmetrical.
- One or both of your breasts did not develop normally or have an elongated shape.
If you’re considering breast augmentation surgery, it’s advisable to spend some time reviewing before-and-after photos and understanding what to expect during the recovery period. Proper preparation and informed expectations can contribute significantly to a smoother recovery and overall satisfaction with the results.
What Should I Expect During a Consultation for Breast Augmentation?
During your breast augmentation consultation, be prepared to discuss several important aspects, including:
- Your reasons for wanting breast augmentation surgery, your expectations, and the desired outcome.
- Any medical conditions, drug allergies, and previous medical treatments you have undergone.
- Your current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, and use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.
- Your family history of breast cancer and the results of any mammograms or previous biopsies.
Your plastic surgeon will also:
- Evaluate your overall health status and identify any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors.
- Conduct a thorough examination and take measurements of your breasts, including detailed assessments of their size, shape, skin quality, and the placement of your nipples and areolas.
- Take photographs for your medical record.
- Discuss your options and recommend a suitable course of treatment.
- Explain the likely outcomes of breast augmentation and any risks or potential complications.
The consultation is also the ideal time for you to ask your plastic surgeon questions. To assist you, we have prepared a checklist of questions to ask your breast augmentation surgeon, which you can bring to your consultation.
Understanding all aspects of your breast augmentation surgery is crucial. It is natural to feel a mix of emotions, from excitement about your anticipated new look to a bit of preoperative stress. Don’t hesitate to discuss any feelings or concerns with your plastic surgeon.
What Are the Risks of Breast Augmentation?
Choosing to undergo plastic surgery is a deeply personal decision. It’s important to carefully consider both the potential benefits of achieving your aesthetic goals and the risks and possible complications associated with breast augmentation. Ultimately, this decision is yours to make.
Breast Implants: Essential Information for Patients
Informed Consent: You will be required to sign consent forms to confirm that you fully understand the procedure, along with any associated risks and potential complications.
Possible Risks of Breast Augmentation Surgery:
- Anesthesia risks
- Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)
- Bleeding
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Fluid accumulation (seroma)
- Formation of tight scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture)
- Hematoma
- Implant leakage or rupture
- Infection
- Persistent pain
- Poor scarring
- Possibility of revision surgery
- Wrinkling of the skin over the implant
- Incorrect positioning of the implant
These risks, among others, will be thoroughly discussed with you prior to obtaining your consent. It is crucial to address all your questions and concerns directly with your plastic surgeon.
Breast Implant Safety: FDA-approved breast implants undergo extensive testing to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Most individuals with breast implants do not experience serious complications. However, there are risks, including breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) and systemic symptoms referred to as breast implant illness (BII). Symptoms of BII may include fatigue, “brain fog,” muscle or joint pain, and rash. If any complications arise, it is imperative to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon promptly. Similarly, if you wish to have your breast implants removed for any reason, consult your plastic surgeon for the appropriate procedure.
Other Important Considerations:
- Breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime; future surgery may be needed to replace one or both implants.
- Pregnancy, weight loss, and menopause can affect the appearance of augmented breasts over time.
- Regular examinations are necessary to monitor the health of your breasts and evaluate the condition of your breast implants.
Making an informed decision about breast augmentation involves understanding all aspects of the procedure, the potential risks, and the long-term considerations. Engaging in open and honest discussions with your plastic surgeon will help ensure that you have realistic expectations and a comprehensive understanding of the journey ahead.
Breast augmentation recovery
A full recovery period following breast implant surgery generally spans four to six weeks. It is crucial to adhere to your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of complications. During this time, patients should avoid strenuous physical activities, including heavy lifting and vigorous exercise, as these can strain the healing tissues. Additionally, it’s important to minimize overall physical exertion to support a smooth recovery. Following these guidelines will help ensure the best possible results and the long-term success of the procedure. Regular follow-up visits with your healthcare provider are essential to monitor your progress and address any concerns that may arise during your recovery.
What results should I expect after breast augmentation surgery?
While breast augmentation provides immediate enlargement of the breasts, the final results can take several weeks to become fully apparent. This period allows for swelling to subside and the skin to stretch naturally. In some cases, patients may need to wear a bandeau to assist in shaping their breasts, especially if there is underlying asymmetry or if they started with very small breasts.
It’s important to note that incision lines, while initially prominent, typically fade over several months and can take up to a couple of years to diminish significantly.
To ensure the best possible outcome from your breast augmentation, it is crucial to adhere to your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments. This diligence will help in monitoring your recovery and addressing any concerns promptly, ensuring that you achieve the optimal results from your surgery.
Breast augmentation cost
The cost of breast augmentation can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as the surgeon’s experience, the geographical location of the practice, and the type of implants used. This cost typically includes the surgeon’s fee, anaesthesia, operating room facilities and post-operative care. However, it is important to note that additional expenses such as prescription medications, medical tests and clothing may be incurred.

Breast Augmentation frequently asked questions
What is the difference between breast implants and breast augmentation?
Breast Implants: These are devices filled with saline or silicone gel used to enhance breast size and shape.
Breast Augmentation: This is the surgical procedure that uses breast implants or fat transfer to increase breast volume and improve overall appearance.
Is breast augmentation forever?
Modern breast implants typically last between 10 to 20 years on average. It's important to note that breast implants do not have an expiration date or shelf life.
What age is best for breast augmentation?
The ideal age for breast augmentation surgery is typically when a person's breasts are fully developed, which generally occurs around 20 years of age or older. However, the suitability for breast augmentation is more about physical maturity and emotional readiness rather than a specific age. It's important for individuals considering this procedure to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.
Will breast augmentation increase my risk of breast cancer?
This is a common concern among women considering breast augmentation surgery. Extensive research indicates that having breast implants does not increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Furthermore, implants do not interfere with the detection of breast cancer. Studies conducted by the National Cancer Institute and other research bodies confirm that breast implants do not impede patients or their doctors in detecting breast tumors. Moreover, if breast cancer does occur in patients with implants, their chances of achieving remission and being cancer-free for five years are comparable to those without implants.
How many years does a breast implant last?
Breast implants typically last for about 10 to 20 years on average. However, some women may continue to use their implants for more than 20 years without issues. It's important to note that breast implants do not have an expiration date or shelf life, but they may need to be replaced or removed if complications arise or if aesthetic preferences change over time. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a plastic surgeon are recommended to assess the condition of the implants and discuss any potential concerns or options for replacement.
How painful is a breast augmentation?
Most women experience mild discomfort, sensitivity, and pain, which typically subsides within a week and can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
