What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a procedure to increase breast volume and improve shape using implants selected according to each patient's anatomy and goals.
How are implants selected?
Implant choice is individualized after evaluating body proportions, breast measurements, tissue characteristics, and patient preferences.
Which implant is right for me?
There is no single implant that suits everyone. The most appropriate implant depends on body proportions, breast tissue characteristics, skin quality, and your preferences, and is determined during consultation.
What incision options are available?
Incision placement is selected individually and may include the inframammary fold, periareolar, or axillary approach. The appropriate approach depends on anatomy, implant type, and surgical goals.
How does 3D simulation help?
3D simulation is used to visualize potential outcomes, assist implant size selection, evaluate chest anatomy, and support individualized planning. It is a planning aid rather than a guarantee of the final result.
Can breast augmentation be combined with a breast lift?
Combined procedures are considered in some patients depending on breast shape, nipple position, skin quality, and goals. Whether a combination is appropriate can only be determined after examination and consultation.
How long do implants last?
Implants are not considered lifetime devices, and some patients require revision or replacement over time due to implant-related changes or personal preference. Your surgeon should explain expected longevity and monitoring for your specific implant.
How long is recovery?
Recovery timelines vary depending on the surgical technique and individual healing. Temporary swelling, bruising, and tightness are common during early healing.
When can I return to exercise?
Return to exercise depends on the technique used, implant placement, and your healing progress. Follow the postoperative schedule and restrictions provided by your surgeon rather than a general timeline.
