Breast Augmentation

Inframammary Incision (The Fold)

The gold standard approach. A small, discrete incision is hidden precisely within the natural crease beneath the breast. It offers the surgeon unparalleled direct visibility for perfect pocket creation and zero interference with the breast tissue or milk ducts.

Periareolar Incision

An incision made along the lower border of the areola. The scar blends beautifully into the natural color transition of the skin. This is often utilized when a minor lift (mastopexy) is being performed simultaneously.

Dual-Plane Placement

The implant is placed partially under the pectoralis major muscle and partially under the breast gland. This provides maximum soft-tissue coverage in the upper pole (preventing visible rippling) while allowing the lower pole to expand naturally.

Are silicone implants safe?

Yes. Modern, 6th-generation highly cohesive silicone gel implants (often called 'gummy bear' implants) are FDA-approved and structurally completely different from early liquids. If cut in half, they retain their shape entirely, eliminating the risk of liquid leaking into the body.

Will breast implants affect my ability to breastfeed?

When implants are placed via the inframammary fold and positioned beneath the muscle, the glandular breast tissue and milk ducts remain completely untouched and intact, preserving your ability to nurse normally in the future.

Do implants need to be replaced every 10 years?

Implants are not considered lifetime devices, but they do not have an expiration date. You only need to replace them if a complication arises (such as a capsular contracture or a highly rare rupture) or if you desire a change in size due to bodily aging.

Phase 1: The Sizing Consultation

During your clinical consultation, we utilize advanced 3D imaging technology and physical sizers to help you visualize exact volumes, profiles, and proportions, ensuring absolute alignment between your aesthetic goals and surgical realities.

Phase 2: Medical Baseline

Depending on your age and medical history, a baseline mammogram may be required prior to surgery to ensure absolute breast health before placing an implant.

Phase 3: Pre-Op Protocols

Cease smoking and all blood-thinning supplements. Purchase front-closing, wire-free surgical bras as directed by the clinic to ensure proper support without irritation to the healing incisions.

The First 72 Hours

You will experience tightness and muscle soreness across the chest, similar to an intense upper-body workout. Rest with your back elevated at a 45-degree angle. Pain is managed efficiently with prescribed oral medication.

The 'Drop and Fluff' Period (Weeks 2 to 6)

Initially, implants will sit high and feel firm on the chest due to muscle tightness. Over the next several weeks, the pectoralis muscle relaxes, allowing the implants to 'drop' into their natural pocket and 'fluff' into a softer, teardrop shape.

Return to Normalcy (6 Weeks)

You are typically cleared to resume all cardiovascular activities, upper body weightlifting, and sleeping flat on your stomach. The incisions will continue to fade into imperceptible, soft lines hidden within the breast fold.
