Personal Consultations & Enquiries

Whether you’re ready to book or just exploring your options, we’re here to help.

• Complimentary Patient Advisor Consultation or phone call – A casual, no-pressure chat to help you learn more.
• Meet the Doctor – One-on-one consultation to discuss your personal expectations and tailored surgical options.

• Are in good overall health
• Wish to enhance your breast size, shape, or symmetry
• Have fully developed breasts
• Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Lifestyle, emotional readiness, and long-term goals are also carefully considered during your consultation.

Breast implants are available in several types, each with its own advantages:

• Saline Breast Implants: Filled with sterile salt water; the body can safely absorb the saline in the rare event of a rupture.
• Silicone Breast Implants: Filled with cohesive silicone gel that mimics the feel of natural breast tissue.

We’ll help you choose the right implant based on your lifestyle, goals, and preferences for look and feel.

Placement to Suit Your Body

The placement of your breast implants plays a key role in the final result. Options include:

• Submuscular (under the muscle): Provides a more natural shape and can reduce the risk of certain complications like capsular contracture.

• Subglandular (above the muscle): Offers quicker recovery and is ideal for patients with sufficient natural breast tissue.
• Dual Plan (partially under the muscle):
  This option combines the benefits of both submuscular and subglandular placement. It’s particularly suitable for patients who may need a subtle lift but have limited natural breast tissue in the upper breast area. The implant is placed partly beneath the chest muscle and partly beneath the breast tissue, helping to create a more natural contour while improving upper pole fullness.

Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate option based on your anatomy and desired outcome.

Incision Techniques for Implant Insertion

Breast implants can be inserted through a range of surgical approaches:

• Inframammary (under the breast fold): Most commonly used; allows precise implant placement.
• Periareolar (around the nipple): Ideal for those concerned about visible scarring.
• Transaxillary (through the armpit): Leaves no scarring on the breast itself.

Each method has unique advantages and is discussed thoroughly during your consultation to ensure the best match for your needs.

Recovery after Breast Augmentation

Rest and recovery time are a vital part of your breast augmentation journey. You may experience swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort in the first few days. These are typically well-managed with medication and supportive care.

Key recovery tips:

• Wear a post-surgical support bra as advised
• Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks
• Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Most patients return to light activities within 7–14 days, with full results emerging over several months.
