Breast augmentation

Women choose breast augmentation for different personal or medical reasons.

Aesthetic Goals

• Enhance breast size and shape
• Achieve a balanced body proportion
• Improve clothing fit and appearance

Post-Pregnancy & Age-Related Changes

• Restore volume lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Correct sagging or loss of firmness due to ageing

Correcting Asymmetry

• Improve symmetry when one breast is smaller than the other

Reconstruction Purposes

• Restore breasts after cancer surgery or injury

Choosing breast augmentation is a personal decision. Our doctors guide each patient clearly so they can make an informed choice.

Breast augmentation can be done in two main ways: using implants or enhancing the breasts through fat transfer. Each method has several variations depending on how you want your breasts to look and feel. Some implant types are approved only for certain age groups. Your surgeon will help you choose the safest and most suitable option.

Breast Implants

Breast implants are the most commonly used method.

• Saline Breast Implants: Filled with sterile salt water. If the implant ruptures, the saline is safely absorbed by the body.
• Structured Saline Implants: Saline-filled implants with internal support, giving a more natural feel.
• Silicone Breast Implants: Made with silicone gel for a natural breast-like feel. If they rupture, the gel may stay inside the shell or leak slightly, so regular check-ups are recommended.
• Form-Stable Implants (Gummy Bear Implants): These implants retain their shape even if the outer shell breaks. They use thick silicone gel and may require a slightly longer incision.
• Round Implants: Provide fuller-looking breasts. Because they are symmetrical, rotation does not change their appearance.
• Smooth Implants: The softest type of implant, offering the most natural movement of the breast.
• Textured Implants: Have a textured surface that helps the implant stay in place. These implants have been rarely associated with breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL).

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

In this method, the surgeon removes fat from another part of your body using liposuction and injects it into the breasts. It is ideal for those wanting a small, natural-looking increase.

Common fat donor areas include:

• The abdomen
• The flanks (sides of the waist or lower back)
• The back
• The thighs

Breast augmentation is performed under anaesthesia for comfort.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Consultation & Planning

• Discussion of goals and expectations
• Breast examination and measurements
• Selecting implant type, size, and technique
• Explanation of risks, recovery, and scar placement

Day of Surgery

• General anaesthesia is administered
• A small incision is made (commonly under the breast fold)
• Implant is placed under the breast tissue or chest muscle
• Incision is closed with sutures

For fat transfer surgery:

• Fat is removed through liposuction
• Purified fat is injected into the breasts

Duration

The surgery usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the technique.

Hospital Stay

• Many patients go home the same day
• Some may stay overnight for monitoring

Breast augmentation is safe when performed by trained surgeons. However, like any surgery, some risks exist.

Common Side Effects

• Mild pain or swelling
• Temporary numbness or tightness
• Bruising
• Small scars (fade over time)

Less Common Complications

• Infection
• Implant leakage or rupture
• Capsular contracture (hardening around implant)
• Changes in nipple sensation

We follow strict hygiene, surgical safety, and careful follow-up protocols to reduce risks. Our team explains everything clearly so patients feel prepared.

All surgeries leave scars. Breast augmentation scars are usually small and placed in hidden areas such as:

• Under the breast fold
• Around the nipple (in selected cases)
• Under the arm (rare approach)

Modern techniques and proper aftercare help scars fade significantly. Silicone gels, scar creams, and laser treatments may also help.

Recovery varies from person to person, but most patients return to daily activities gradually.

Immediately After Surgery

• Mild pain or discomfort
• Tight feeling in the chest
• Supportive surgical bra provided

First Week

• Light activities resume within 3–5 days
• Avoid heavy lifting
• Avoid sleeping on your stomach

2–4 Weeks

• Swelling reduces
• Normal routine resumes
• Light exercise allowed (doctor-guided)

6 Weeks

• Most workouts and routines allowed
• Final breast shape becomes more visible
