Flat upper poles, a lost cup size after breastfeeding, or breasts that never developed the fullness you wanted. Augmentation addresses each with implants chosen for your frame. The result is rounder, projected breasts with restored upper-pole volume that fill out clothing naturally and hold their shape for years.
What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide. Whether you're restoring volume lost after pregnancy, correcting asymmetry, or seeking fuller proportions, this enhancement surgery can significantly boost self-confidence and body image.
Our partner surgeons specialise in delivering natural-looking results tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring proportions that suit your frame.
Common Concerns Breast Augmentation Can Address
- Small or underdeveloped breasts
- Loss of breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss
- Breast asymmetry or uneven size
- Desire for improved body proportions and confidence
Are You a Good Candidate?
- You're in good overall health and at a stable weight
- You have realistic expectations about the results
- You're not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Techniques & Options
Every chest is different, and so is every augmentation. Your surgeon will assess your chest width, tissue coverage, skin elasticity, and desired projection during your consultation to recommend the best approach. The procedure can address a wide range of goals, from subtle volume restoration to significant size enhancement with improved upper-pole fullness.
There are three main incision approaches:
Inframammary Incision (Under the Breast)
The most common approach, placing the incision in the natural crease beneath the breast where scarring is well-concealed. Suitable for all implant types and sizes.
- Optimal surgeon control for precise pocket creation
- Well-hidden scar in the natural breast fold
- Lower risk of affecting nipple sensation or breastfeeding
Periareolar Incision (Around the Nipple)
An incision along the border between the areola and breast skin, providing excellent scar camouflage. Particularly useful when combining augmentation with a breast lift.
- Scar blends with natural colour transition
- Ideal for combining augmentation with lift
- May slightly increase risk to nipple sensation
Transaxillary Incision (Through the Armpit)
The incision is placed in the armpit crease, leaving no visible scarring on the breast itself. An attractive option for those prioritising scar-free breasts.
- No visible scarring on the breast
- Requires endoscopic equipment and specialised training
- Best suited for saline or smaller cohesive gel implants
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3
Tightness, swelling, and moderate discomfort across the chest are normal and well-managed with prescribed pain relief. You'll rest comfortably at your hotel with daily check-ins from your care coordinator. Light walking is encouraged from day one.
Week 1
Swelling and bruising peak around day 3–4 then gradually improve. Most patients feel well enough for gentle activities and short walks. The breasts will feel high and firm initially as they begin settling into position.
Weeks 2–4
Significant improvement in comfort as implants begin to drop and settle into their natural position. You can resume light exercise and most patients return to desk work. Avoid chest exercises and heavy lifting during this period.
Months 2–6
Breasts continue settling into their final shape as tissues fully heal and adapt to the implants. You can resume all normal activities including full exercise. Final results are typically apparent by 3–6 months, revealing soft, natural-looking breasts.
What to Expect
Safety & Risks
Breast augmentation is a safe, well-established procedure when performed by experienced surgeons, but like all surgeries, it carries some risks.
- Capsular contracture (implant hardening)
- Implant rupture or leakage
- Temporary changes in nipple sensation
- Minor asymmetry
- Infection or delayed healing (rare)
- Need for revision (uncommon)
Because implant selection, pocket placement, and tissue coverage all influence your risk profile, your surgeon will walk you through each factor specific to your augmentation plan before you make any decisions.
