The Procedure

How Do Breast Implants Work?

Breast implants enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts through an orchestrated surgical procedure. This approach involves precise incisions and thoughtful implant positioning to achieve natural-looking and personalised results that seamlessly integrate with the patient’s body contours.

Location of Incisions

Our skilled surgeon often make incisions in inconspicuous locations to minimise visibility. This thoughtful approach aims to achieve aesthetic goals while considering the natural contours of your body.

Implant Positioning

Depending on your individual anatomy and desired outcome, implants are positioned either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. This positioning contributes to a natural appearance and ensures a harmonious integration with your body’s contours

Frequently Asked Questions

The typical lifespan of saline or silicone implants is approximately 10 to 20 years. However, this depends on the following factors that may affect the durability and longevity of the implants.

  • Implant Quality – The quality of implants plays a crucial role. For instance, high-quality implants may have a longer lifespan.

  • Potential Rupture – Modern implants are durable, but there is a slight risk of rupture over time. Regular monitoring identifies and addresses ruptures promptly.
  • Personal Decisions – The decision to replace breast implants is often a personal one. Some individuals may opt for replacement due to changes in preferences, while others may choose to maintain their implants for a more extended period.

In the immediate postoperative days, patients may experience discomfort, swelling, and bruising, all of which can be managed with prescribed pain medications and cold compresses. Rest and limited physical activity also allow the body to heal and ensure a smooth recovery.

Initial improvements become noticeable as the first few weeks unfold, although the final results take time. We encourage our patients to be patient and follow the postoperative care guidelines provided by our plastic surgeon.
