Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries worldwide. It helps individuals enhance their body’s natural contours or restore volume lost due to age, weight loss, or pregnancy. The procedure is designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Whether you’re seeking a fuller bust, correcting asymmetry, or rebuilding after a medical condition, our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
At Avané Clinic, our approach to breast augmentation is centered on your unique body, lifestyle, and goals. Our experienced plastic surgeons use the latest techniques in implant surgery and fat transfer to create refined, natural-looking results. Every step of your breast augmentation procedure—from consultation to recovery—is handled with the care, discretion, and precision you expect from a top-tier cosmetic surgery clinic.
Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that increases breast volume using breast implants or autologous fat grafting (using your own fat). It’s often performed to improve body proportions, address uneven breasts, or restore fullness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
The most common options for implant insertion include:
Some patients may choose fat transfer instead of implants, which involves removing fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs and reinjecting it into the breast. This option works best for those wanting a subtle increase and have very little breast tissue.
Breast augmentation surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours. A small incision is made in one of three common locations: along the inframammary fold (under the breast), around the areola, or in the armpit. The chosen implant pocket is then created either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle for better soft tissue coverage and a more natural appearance.
Your plastic surgeon will insert the selected saline or silicone implants, ensuring symmetry and position. In cases of sagging, a breast lift may be performed at the same time to correct severely drooping breasts. The incisions are closed with care, and a surgical bra is provided to support healing.
This procedure is about more than size—it’s about achieving better proportions and restoring the way you feel in your body.
Breast augmentation can address a variety of physical concerns, including:
Many patients report feeling more confident and comfortable wearing swimsuits, fitted tops, or bras. Results typically last 10–15 years or longer depending on lifestyle, implant type, and changes in weight or hormones.
The advantages of breast augmentation include:
Ideal candidates for breast implant surgery are:
Most patients return home the same day of surgery. During the first few days, you may experience breast pain, swelling, and tightness, which is managed with pain medicine and a supportive surgical bra. Drainage tubes are rarely used unless combined with other procedures.
You’ll need to avoid lifting and strenuous activity for at least 2 weeks, though walking is encouraged to support blood circulation. Full recovery typically takes 4–6 weeks, with final breast augmentation results visible as swelling subsides and implants settle. Scarring is minimal and typically fades over time, especially when incisions are placed in natural creases.
Augmented breasts should look full, symmetrical, and proportional to your frame. Whether you choose silicone gel implants, saline implants, or fat grafting, results can be tailored to your desired shape and volume.
Implants are long-lasting, but not lifetime devices. They may need to be replaced after 10–15 years or sooner if issues like implant rupture, capsular contracture, or discomfort arise. Annual exams and occasional breast imaging are recommended to monitor for changes, especially for those with silicone implants.
At Avané Clinic, we understand that breast augmentation is a deeply personal decision. Our surgeons bring the highest standards in plastic surgery, using artistic judgment, medical expertise, and advanced safety protocols to ensure the best outcomes.
We also take time to educate patients on rare risks like breast implant illness (BII) and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a rare immune response linked to certain textured implants. At every step, you’ll feel informed and cared for, without pressure.
Whether you’re seeking breast enlargement, reconstruction, or correction of prior surgery, we’re here to provide beautiful, balanced results that match your vision.
Silicone gel implants tend to feel the most like natural breast tissue, especially when placed under the breast muscle for added softness.
Most last 10–15 years, though some may last longer. Regular breast imaging can help detect issues like implant rupture before symptoms occur.
Many patients can breastfeed after augmentation, but it depends on the type of incision and implant placement. Discuss this with your surgeon if future pregnancies are planned.
Breast implant illness (BII) refers to a range of systemic symptoms, like fatigue, joint pain, or brain fog that some patients report. While research is ongoing, it’s important to talk openly about symptoms and risks with your provider.
There is no proven link between breast implants and an increased risk of breast cancer. However, some rare cases of implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) have been reported.
Temporary changes in sensation are common. Permanent loss of nipple sensation is rare, especially with careful surgical planning.
Saline breast implants are filled with saltwater and feel firmer, while silicone breast implants are pre-filled with viscous silicone gel for a softer, more natural texture.
Yes. A breast lift is often paired with implants to improve both volume and position, especially in patients with sagging breasts.
A saline implant rupture deflates visibly. A silicone implant rupture is often “silent” and may require magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect.
Possibly. Over time, implants may shift, age, or become affected by scar tissue. Further surgery may be needed for revision or replacement.
