Breast augmentation procedure is one of the most popular surgical procedures in the world and carries a low risk of post-surgery complications. 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. In most cases, breast implants are placed under the muscle to give a natural appearance.

At our affiliated hospital, Silicone Cohesive Gel implant is used for breast augmentation. This type of breast implants is filled with silicone gel, which feels like the natural breast tissue. With these implants, you may need to visit your surgeon regularly for check-up to ensure the implants are in good condition. Silicone breast implants are FDA-approved for augmentation in women age 22 or older.

For this procedure, round breast implants are used. These implants are round in shape and smooth in texture, and they give a full top appearance.

A lot of people feel that the teardrop shape resembles the natural breasts more than the round implants. But it all comes down to your personal preference and the desired body silhouette when choosing your implant shape. Your doctor will suggest the most suitable implant for you, taking into consideration your condition and your desired result.

At our affiliated hospital, round silicone gel implants come in moderate high profile and ultra-high profile. Generally, the higher the profile, the narrower the base, and the greater the projection.

For instance, a low profile breast implant has a wider base with a less forward projection. A breast implant with a high profile has a narrower base but a more forward projection, and similarly an ultra-high profile would produce a more top-heavy result in terms of projection - making it suitable for those with narrow bodies and wish to have bigger breasts; subject to the doctor's consultation.

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).
