Your Breast Enhancement Treatment Pathway
Breast procedures may involve different approaches depending on your anatomy, skin quality and goals.
- Breast Implants – may be considered to increase volume and improve shape
- Breast Lift – may be considered where there is skin laxity or breast descent
- Combination (Implants + Lift) – may be discussed in selected cases
If you are unsure which approach may be suitable, your surgeon will guide you through these options during consultation.
Who May Be Suitable for Breast Implants?
You may be suitable for breast augmentation if you:
- Are in good general health
- Have fully developed breasts
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Are considering changes to breast size, shape or symmetry
Your lifestyle, expectations and long-term goals are discussed during consultation to help determine whether this procedure is appropriate for you.
Types of Breast Implants
Selecting the correct breast implant is a personal decision. Your surgeon will guide you based on your anatomy, preferences and treatment goals.
You can also explore our guide on choosing the right implant size.
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.
Breast Implant Placement Options
The placement of your breast implants can influence both your final result and recovery. You can read more in our guide to Implant placement options.
Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable approach based on your anatomy and desired outcome.
- 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.
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 Implants
Recovery is an important part of your breast augmentation journey. You can learn more in our Breast implant recovery guide.
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.

Understanding Risks and Complications
All surgical procedures carry some risk. You can read more about specific concerns in our Guide to Breast Implant Complications.
Potential complications of breast augmentation may include:
- Capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening)
- Implant rupture or leakage
- Infection
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
Your surgeon will discuss all possible risks and how they are managed before you decide to proceed.
Breast Implants vs Breast Lift
Breast implants are designed to increase volume and enhance shape, while a breast lift addresses breast position and skin laxity.
In some cases, a combination of both procedures may be considered. To understand these options in more detail, visit our Breast implants vs Breast Lift Guide.
