BREAST AUGMENTATION: Enhance Shape, Size & Proportion
Customised Enhancement | Natural Look | Perfect Fit
Breast augmentation increases breast size, improves shape, and restores fullness. It is an ideal solution for correcting uneven size or shape while balancing your overall body proportions. You can choose between high-quality implants or natural fat transfer, depending on your goals, body type, and personal preference. Every plan is tailored exactly to your desired look and physical comfort.
🧩 Breast Implants
The most popular method, providing precise control over size, shape, and appearance. Implants are placed either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. A wide range of sizes and styles are available to suit every unique need.
Best for: Achieving a clear, noticeable increase in size and a well-defined shape.
Types of Implants:
| Category | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 🔹 By filling | Saline | Filled with sterile salt water. Fully safe and easily absorbed by the body if leakage occurs. |
| Silicone Gel | Mimics the look and feel of natural breast tissue. The most popular choice worldwide. | |
| Gummy Bear (Cohesive Gel) | Features a stable structure that holds its shape perfectly, even if the shell is compromised. | |
| 🔹 By shape | Round | Provides fullness at the top of the breast for a fuller, more defined cleavage. |
| Teardrop (Anatomical) | Slopes naturally and is fuller at the bottom, closely mimicking a natural breast profile. | |
| 🔹 By surface | Smooth | Soft texture that allows the implant to move and feel most naturally within the breast pocket. |
| Textured | Designed to stay securely in place with a lower risk of shifting or rotation. | |
| 🔹 By projection (how far forward) | Low | Offers a subtle, modest forward projection. |
| Moderate | Provides a balanced and natural-looking profile. | |
| High | Delivers more forward projection for enhanced definition and a more prominent look. |

💉 Fat Transfer Augmentation
🟠Fat is harvested from your own body (such as the abdomen or thighs) via gentle liposuction.
🟠The harvested fat is purified and processed before being injected precisely into the breast area.
🟠Best for: Those seeking a small to moderate size increase (typically ½ to 1 cup size) who prefer a very soft feel with no foreign materials.

Real Results
How It Is Performed
- Pre-operative dimensional breast measurements and implant sizing simulation
- Standing-position marking of the inframammary fold, pocket boundaries, and midline
- General anaesthesia
- Incision placement — submammary fold (most common; precise pocket control) or axillary (armpit; no scar on breast; endoscopic visualisation used)
- Pocket dissection in the planned plane (sub-glandular, sub-pectoral, or dual-plane — the preferred approach for most patients)
- Implant insertion via Keller funnel (no-touch technique to reduce infection risk)
- Drain tube placement; layered closure
- Supportive post-operative bra fitted before leaving hospital
Your Timeline
Preparation
- Mammogram / breast ultrasound (mandatory if aged 35+; recommended for all)
- ECG and full blood work
- Anaesthesia clearance
- Smoking cessation 4 weeks prior
- Supportive post-op bra fitting
- Discuss implant brand, profile, and volume with your surgeon at the sizing consultation
Followup Care
- 1 night inpatient observation
- Drain removal at day 2–3
- Suture removal at day 7–10
- Supportive bra worn 24/7 for 6 weeks
- Scar massage from week 4
- Avoid heavy lifting or chest exercises for 8 weeks
- Reviews at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months
Frequently Asked Questions
What is dual-plane placement and why is it preferred?
Dual-plane places the implant partly under the pectoral muscle and partly under the breast gland. This provides a more natural upper-pole contour and reduces rippling compared to fully sub-glandular placement. allows the breast gland to descend naturally with age, the most versatile and widely recommended technique today.
What is the difference between round and anatomic (teardrop) implants?
Round implants provide a fuller upper pole and are less expensive. Anatomic (teardrop) implants mimic natural breast shape more closely but cost more. Surgeon and patient preference, along with anatomical assessment, guide the choice.
How soon will the implants look natural?
mmediately after surgery, implants may look high and slightly firm as the pectoral muscle adapts. Over 3–6 months they descend and soften, reaching their final natural position.
Can I breastfeed after augmentation?
Most women can still breastfeed after augmentation, particularly with sub-pectoral placement and non-periareolar incisions. However, results vary and should be discussed with your surgeon.
Is there a risk of implants rupturing?
Modern silicone gel implants use cohesive "gummy bear" gel, even if the outer shell were to be compromised, the gel largely retains its shape. Annual check-ups and MRI screening every few years help detect any integrity issues early.
When should implants be replaced?
Modern silicone implants do not have a mandatory replacement schedule. They should be checked if you notice shape changes, hardening, or rupture (detected on MRI). Many implants last 10–20 years without issues.
