Breast & Body
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation increases the size and refines the shape of the breasts using medical-grade silicone implants. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia and generally takes 1–2 hours, with 1 night in hospital, a return to work in around 7 days, and 2–6 weeks of recovery.

01 — Planning
Preview your shape before the day of surgery
Feel more confident about the size and shape you choose.
Three-dimensional simulation lets you and your surgeon look at how different implant volumes and profiles may sit on your own chest structure — before anything is decided.
Together you can compare options against your base width, tissue thickness, and body proportions, so the plan is discussed with a shared picture rather than described in words.
Simulation is a planning aid. It illustrates an expected direction, not a guaranteed outcome.
What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation increases the size and refines the shape of the breasts using medical-grade silicone implants, creating balanced proportions tailored to each individual.
Our surgical team assesses your chest structure, skin, and goals to choose the right implant size, shape, and placement — all through a small, well-hidden incision.
Concerns it addresses
Small / disproportionate breasts
Low volume or breasts that don't match your frame leave the silhouette unbalanced.
Asymmetry
A noticeable difference in size or shape between the two sides.
Deflation after pregnancy / breastfeeding
Loss of volume and upper-pole fullness after pregnancy or nursing.
Constricted / tuberous shape
A narrow base or congenital tuberous shape that needs tailored planning.
02 — Materials
Certified implants, matched to your anatomy
We use registered medical-grade silicone implants. Your surgeon recommends the model whose base width, profile, and shell suit your tissue — the brand is chosen to fit the plan, not the other way around.

Augmentation vs Breast Lift
The two procedures solve different concerns — your surgeon will help you decide which suits you.
| Augmentation | Breast Lift | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary goal | Adds size and fullness | Lifts sagging breasts to a firmer shape |
| Method | Places silicone implants | Reshapes skin and tissue; usually no implants |
| Fullness | Adds upper-pole fullness | Keeps existing volume, refines shape |
| Nipple position | Stays in place | Raised to a higher position |
| Best for | Smaller breasts or wanting more size | Sagging after pregnancy or weight loss |
How we plan your result
A beautiful result isn't the largest cup — it's proportion to your body. Base width, tissue thickness, and your frame determine the right implant size and shape, so the breast is planned against the whole silhouette rather than a fixed cup size.
Your planning options
Who is it for
- Those who want to increase breast size or fullness
- Those with asymmetry who want a more balanced shape
- Those whose breasts changed after pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Those in good health with no contraindications to surgery
Your approach options
Subglandular (over the muscle)
Advantages · The implant sits beneath the breast tissue but above the pectoralis major, so the muscle is not lifted or stretched. This can mean less discomfort and a shorter early recovery.
Limitations · Generally suited to patients with enough natural breast tissue. With a slim build or little tissue, implant edges may be more visible.
Submuscular (under the muscle)
Advantages · The implant sits fully beneath the pectoralis major, so the muscle layer helps camouflage the implant edges — often considered when there is little breast tissue.
Limitations · Early recovery may involve more tightness because the muscle has been stretched, and the breasts take longer to soften and settle.
Dual plane
Advantages · The upper part of the implant is covered by the chest muscle while the lower part sits under the breast tissue, aiming for a smooth upper slope with a fuller lower curve.
Limitations · Requires precise anatomical planning and is performed by a specialist plastic surgeon.
03 — Incision
Where the incision is placed
The access point is chosen with you at planning. It affects where the scar sits and how the implant is positioned.
Inframammary incision
Made along the natural crease underneath the breast. It is one of the most common access points for breast augmentation.
Benefits: Gives the surgeon direct access and clear visibility, which supports precise implant positioning — including dual plane placement. The incision is small and sits within the fold.
Suitable for: Patients who want precise control over implant position, or who are having a larger implant placed.
Periareolar incision
Made along the lower edge of the areola, where the change in skin colour helps disguise the scar line.
Benefits: The scar follows an existing colour border on the breast rather than crossing plain skin.
Suitable for: Patients whose areola is large enough for the implant to pass through. Your surgeon will discuss its effect on nipple sensation and breastfeeding before you decide.
Transaxillary incision
Made within the natural crease of the underarm. The implant is passed through this access point, often with endoscopic assistance.
Benefits: The scar sits in the underarm fold rather than on the breast itself.
Suitable for: Patients who would prefer no incision on the breast, or who often wear low-cut clothing.

Operating room standards and monitoring
Surgery is performed in a licensed operating facility with anaesthesia care and continuous monitoring throughout.
Licensed operating facility
Procedures are performed in a registered operating room, not a treatment room.
Specialist anaesthesia care
Anaesthesia is administered and monitored by a qualified anaesthesiologist for the duration of surgery.
Continuous monitoring
Vital signs are monitored continuously during the procedure and through initial recovery.
Sterile instrument protocol
Instruments and implants are handled under a documented sterile protocol.
The treatment process
Consult & assessment
Assess base width, tissue thickness, skin elasticity, and any sagging, and hear your goals.
Design size & shape
Choose a volume and shape that suits your frame, with sizers to preview the result.
Select the implant
Choose the medical-grade implant model, surface, and profile by softness and durability.
Plan incision & placement
Finalize the incision site and placement level (over / under muscle / dual plane).
Surgery day
Performed in a standard operating theatre by a specialist surgeon and anesthesia team.
Aftercare
A supportive garment, a swelling program, and implant-position reviews as scheduled.

Frequently asked questions
Is the procedure painful?
Some tightness or dull ache is normal at first and is well controlled with prescribed pain relief. Most patients feel much better within a few days.
How long do implants last?
Medical-grade implants are highly durable, but periodic follow-up is recommended to assess them over the long term.
Can I still breastfeed afterward?
Breastfeeding is generally still possible depending on the technique and incision site; your surgeon will discuss this before planning.
Will there be a visible scar?
Incisions are small and placed in discreet locations such as under the breast fold. Once healed, scars fade and become hard to notice.
