Breast Implants Melbourne
At Aesthetica Image Centre in Armadale, Melbourne, we specialise in personalised breast augmentation solutions designed to enhance balance, shape and confidence, always with your safety and comfort as our priority.
Whether you’re considering implants to restore volume after pregnancy, improve symmetry, or create a fuller contour, our experienced team will guide you through every stage of your journey.
Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you:
- Are in good general health
- Have fully developed breasts
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Wish to enhance your breast size, shape, or symmetry
Lifestyle, emotional readiness, and long-term goals are also discussed during your consultation to help ensure this is the right procedure for you.
Types of Breast Implants
Selecting the correct breast implant is a personal choice — we’ll help you understand which option best suits your body and lifestyle.
Saline Breast Implants
Filled with sterile salt water. In the rare event of rupture, the saline is safely absorbed by the body.
Silicone Breast Implants
Filled with cohesive silicone gel that feels more like natural breast tissue and maintains its shape well.
Your surgeon will guide you in choosing the best implant type, size, and profile to complement your goals.
Placement to Suit Your Body
The placement of your breast implants can influence both your final result and your recovery.
- Submuscular (under the muscle): Creates a more natural shape and may reduce the risk of capsular contracture.
- Subglandular (above the muscle): Offers quicker recovery and may suit those with adequate natural breast tissue.
- Dual plane (partly under the muscle): Combines both techniques for enhanced contour and upper pole fullness — ideal for those with limited natural tissue.
Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable approach based on your anatomy and desired outcome.
Incision Techniques for Implant Insertion
There are several approaches to inserting breast implants. Each is chosen carefully to suit your needs:
- Inframammary (under the breast fold): The most common method, allowing precise placement.
- Periareolar (around the nipple): May suit those concerned about visible scarring.
- Transaxillary (through the armpit): Avoids scarring on the breast itself.
All incision options and their considerations are discussed with you during your consultation.
Recovery after Breast Augmentation
Recovery is an important part of your breast augmentation journey.
You can expect some swelling, tightness or mild discomfort in the first few days — these are normal and usually settle quickly.
Key recovery tips:
- Wear your post-surgical support bra as advised
- Avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for several weeks
- Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing
Most people return to light activities within 7–14 days, with final results becoming more noticeable over the following months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if breast implants are right for me?
Your surgeon will assess your health, anatomy and goals to help determine whether breast augmentation is suitable for you.
What is the difference between saline and silicone breast implants?
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water, while silicone implants contain a cohesive gel that feels more like natural tissue.
How long do breast implants last?
Implants are not lifetime devices. Many last for many years, but they may eventually need to be replaced or removed.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
In most cases, breast implants do not affect breastfeeding ability, but this can depend on implant placement and incision technique. Your surgeon will discuss this with you in detail.
