Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation (also known as breast implants, breast enhancement surgery, breast enlargement, or a boob job) is a surgical procedure, under the umbrella of cosmetic surgery, designed to increase the size of your breasts, correct proportion issues and help balance the overall aesthetics of the bust line.

Typically, breast augmentation surgery can help those who:

01.

Feel their breasts are smaller or disproportionate to the rest of their body

02.

Have unequal sized breasts and/or breast shape

03.

Or have experienced decreased breast size after pregnancy

04.

Are NOT pregnant or breastfeeding

05.

Have realistic expectations about the outcome of surgery

Options

Breast Augmentation Surgery Options

Breast augmentation procedures are performed by inserting implants under the breasts to enlarge them. Implants are placed behind the breast, not within the breast tissue, and can be inserted either:

Between the breast tissue and the chest muscle, or Behind the chest muscle (pectoralis major)
Each position has advantages and disadvantages, and which one is right for you will depend on your body type and desired outcome from your breast augmentation. Your surgeon will be able to provide further details in your consultation, along with making a recommendation on which position and type of implant is most suitable for you.

Breast implants come in varying sizes depending on the patient’s desires and maintain a consistent shape and firmness regardless of size.

What can I expect after breast augmentation?

Immediately after cosmetic surgery, it is normal to feel pressure on your chest, some discomfort and moderate pain. We would advise you to take regular pain relief for comfort. The first few days may require stronger pain relief medication but after that, you can gradually reduce the pain medication.
