Surgical Procedures - Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to enhance the size, shape and overall symmetry of the breasts, most commonly using implants. It is often chosen for increasing volume or restoring fullness after weight loss or pregnancy.

How Is This Procedure Performed?

Performed under general anaesthesia, implants are placed either beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle through incisions typically made in the breast crease. The surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia and tailored to the individual’s anatomy and desired outcome.

Downtime

Most patients return to light activities within 1-2 week, with full recovery over several weeks.

Scars

Scars depend on incision location and are usually placed to be as discreet as possible.

Risks and complications

Potential risks include implant-related complications, infection, capsular contracture, and changes in sensation.
