Breast augmentation enhances the size and shape of the breasts using surgically placed implants or fats obtained from the patient’s body. This is a very popular procedure and among the most performed cosmetic procedures worldwide. To achieve the specific look you want, we offer a complete range of breast implants – silicone, saline, cohesive gel implants which are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to match your cosmetic needs.
The outcome of your breast augmentation procedure will greatly depend on what you and your surgeon agreed during the initial consultation. Our surgeons will guide you in selecting the best implant for your body. They will also evaluate your natural breast tissue, frame and general body size to establish your improved, natural, proportional and fuller breasts. Our FRACS-certified surgeons perform each breast augmentation in our state-of-the-art outpatient surgical facilities.

Other physical and emotional factors can influence your recovery and final result. You must carefully consider different factors before engaging in the procedure such as the following:
You will be required to sign a written consent before the procedure together with other paper works. Once all of these are settled, you will be brought to the operating room. A certified anesthesiologist will introduce general anesthesia to induce sleep. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, your plastic surgeon will create an incision behind your breasts to make a space within your breast tissues. The breast implants will then be placed into the pockets and positioned for optimal appearance and balance. After proper placement is verified, your surgeon will close the incision – usually with non-absorbable sutures, although surgical tape or glue may also be used.
Breast augmentation and other breast procedures are most frequently performed on an outpatient basis, in a hospital operating room, or your surgeon’s office. You can also discuss an approach to your surgery that could require an overnight stay.
Your surgical incision can be created in the armpit, around the nipple, under your breast crease, or at your belly button. All of these are discussed during the initial consultation in which you are given a cooling off period to decide.
There are two choices to make for the placement of your implants. They can be placed under your breast tissue (sub-glandular) or partially under your chest muscle (sub-muscular). Each placement type has its benefits and will depend on the amount of your breast tissue, general body type and preferences.
Another component to consider is the warranty of your breast implants. Warranties can add value to your breast augmentation package by protecting you from any additional costs. Some warranties are free when you purchase breast implants. Some may offer a lifetime warranty while some may only have several years.

You may be required to wear support garments to avoid unnecessary movements that may reopen the incision. Your doctor or nurse will advise you on specific homecare instructions such as the following:
