Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is one of the top cosmetic surgery procedures in Singapore, helping women enhance their silhouette using either breast implants or fat grafting.

What is Botox?

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is an injectable treatment that is primarily targeted to treat wrinkles, fine lines and creases on the face. It can also be used as a non-permanent facial contouring treatment to slim down your profile. Botox is more widely known as an effective anti-aging product for improving the appearance of your skin. Botox is able to treat signs of advanced aging as it promotes collagen production and skin elasticity. In Singapore, Botox is used to temporarily give patients a younger and tighter look.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Commonly known as a "boob job," breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enlarge your breasts. This is typically performed using silicone implants, fat transfer (fat grafting), or a hybrid combination of both to achieve natural-looking results.

Apart from increasing breast size and volume, a custom breast enlargement procedure addresses breast asymmetry, breast Sagging (Ptosis) and post-pregnancy deflation.

How does Breast Augmentation work?

Breast augmentation involves surgically placing an implant behind the breast tissues or under the pectoral (chest) muscle. During the procedure, incisions are made either along the nipple (peri-areolar incision), under the breast (inframammary fold incision) or in the armpit (trans-axillary incision). These spots ensure that your surgical scars will not be visible.

Breast implants can be inserted as a round or teardrop shape depending on the patient’s preferences. Round implants help to give a fuller look in the upper breast when showing cleavage and teardrop implants give a subtle curvature that is more anatomically similar to natural breasts. Incisions are then closed with stitches and removed by your doctor after 1 to 2 weeks.

Why Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures. It is a recommended procedure for women who wish to increase the size of their breasts for various reasons. This includes those who have undergone breast removal due to conditions like breast cancer and women who have seen a reduction of breast size after weight loss.

Size problems aside, breast augmentation can help correct the problem of uneven breasts and improve how firm they look as breasts tend to sag with age.

What results can I expect from Breast Augmentation?

It is important to have realistic expectations before and after breast augmentation surgery to ensure that you will be satisfied with your results.

Your doctor will help you decide on the best implant shape and size to suit your needs prior to undergoing the procedure. The implants in your breast will typically drop down in the first few months after the surgery which is what the final look of your breasts will be. This is what gives it the look of more natural breasts.

Results of a breast augmentation surgery can tend to look subtle or dramatic based on the patient’s desired outcome and the type of implants used.

Will I look natural?

Yes, breast augmentation achieves an incredibly natural look and feel that complements and is customised to your body proportions. At Nassim Plastic Surgery in Singapore, most of our patients request a natural enhancement rather than an artificial appearance.

During your consultation, you will get to try various implant volumes to see exactly how it looks on your frame. We will guide you through a personalized fitting process using specialized surgical bras and sizing inserts. Our goal is to balance your hip and shoulder width, ensuring you achieve the desired look

Will I have a scar?

Yes, breast augmentation will result in a small scar, but it is strategically placed to remain virtually invisible. At Nassim Plastic Surgery, Dr Janna typically utilises the natural crease under the breast (or the inframammary fold) to ensure the 3-to-5 cm scar is completely hidden by the natural drape of your breast. We provide customized scar minimization protocols, to ensure optimal healing.
