Breast Procedures
Breast Augmentation
Enhancing breast size and shape with implants
Overview
Breast augmentation increases breast size and improves shape and symmetry using implants, most commonly for patients seeking fuller breasts or wishing to restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight change.
Implant size, shape, and placement (above or below the muscle) are chosen together during consultation to suit each patient's body frame and goals.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do breast implants last?
Implants are not lifetime devices — most manufacturers estimate a usable life of 10–15+ years, with monitoring recommended over time.
Will I be able to breastfeed afterward?
Many patients can, particularly with incision techniques that avoid the areola, though this is discussed individually.
What implant options are available?
Options include silicone or saline implants in a range of shapes and profiles, chosen based on your anatomy and goals.
