Breast Augmentation (Breast Enlargement With Implants)

· Those who want a safe breast implant procedure in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
· Those with small breasts.
· Those who want to enlarge their breasts with implants.
· Those who want a more defined breast shape.
· Those who want a better symmetry of their breasts.

In a surgical breast augmentation, breast implants are inserted into the breasts in order to enlarge or restore the size of the breasts. It can give a better appearance of the body line especially for those who have naturally small breasts or experienced volume loss due to weight loss or breastfeeding. Depending on cases, breast implants are placed under the breast tissue or behind the chest muscles. At our affiliated clinic, there are 2 types of implants available - round and teardrop shape.

According to your desired size and shape, our affiliated doctor will decide on the type of incision: armpit (axillary incision), under the breast (inframammary incision) or around the nipple (periareolar incision). You are required to spend 1 night at the ward.

· Round breast implants:
Most commonly used, and usually filled with either saline or silicone.

· Teardrop breast implants:
Have thinner upper part and a round base, which mimics the shape of natural breasts. Commonly constructed from semi solid silicone. A lot of people feel that this shape resembles the natural breasts more than the round implants. But a thing to consider is that when you are lying down, the round-shaped implants will look more natural as the filler becomes evenly distributed. Meanwhile, teardrop-shaped implants will remain in original shape. Therefore, it comes down to personal preference when choosing your implant shape.
