Breast Augmentation (Silicone Implants)
Breast augmentation (silicone implants) is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for enhancing breast size, shape and symmetry. Modern cohesive silicone implants provide natural-looking results with long-lasting safety when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Today's advanced silicone implants are engineered to look, move, and feel remarkably like natural breast tissue, offering stable, long-lasting contouring tailored specifically to your unique anatomy.
Customizing Your Results: Implant Profile & Placement
There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Your procedure is fully customized based on your existing breast tissue, chest wall dimensions, and personal aesthetic goals.
- Silicone Gel Technology (Cohesive “Gummy Bear” Gel): modern implants utilize a highly cohesive silicone gel. The silicone behaves like a solid rather than a liquid, allowing it to hold its shape beautifully over time.
- Safe Even If the Shell Is Compromised: if the implant shell is ever compromised, the cohesive gel stays safely bound together inside, providing a soft, natural texture with an excellent long-term safety profile.
Implant Placement & Incision Approach
Incisions are meticulously placed within natural skin folds to ensure your results remain beautifully discreet.
Submuscular Placement
The implant is tucked underneath the pectoral chest muscle.
- Advantage: provides maximum soft-tissue coverage over the top of the implant, creating a very natural, gradual slope
- Significantly minimizes the risk of visible implant edges (rippling)
Subglandular Placement
The implant is placed directly behind the natural breast tissue but on top of the pectoral muscle.
- Advantage: can accommodate natural breast sagging slightly better
- Involves a quicker, less tight muscular recovery
Inframammary Fold (IMF) Incision
The incision is hidden neatly within the natural crease right beneath the breast.
- The most common approach, as it provides the surgeon with maximum visibility and accuracy
- A scar tucked beneath the breast fold
Step-by-Step: What Happens During Surgery?
The procedure is planned around your anatomy and the implant that best suits your goals.
Step 1: Relaxation & Comfort
You are placed safely under general anesthesia, ensuring you are completely asleep and feel absolutely zero pain throughout the procedure.
Step 2: Creating the Access
The surgeon makes the chosen hidden incision (typically in the fold beneath the breast) to access the underlying structures.
Step 3: Creating the Pocket
A precise space or “pocket” is sculpted either beneath the breast tissue or underneath the pectoral muscle to house the implant safely.
Step 4: Meticulous Placement
The silicone implant is gently inserted and positioned. The surgeon evaluates your chest symmetry while you are positioned appropriately on the table to ensure optimal balance and projection.
Step 5: Layered Closure
The pocket and skin are closed using deep, dissolvable internal stitches. The skin is sealed with fine sutures or skin glue, and a supportive surgical bra is applied.
Your surgeon will confirm the exact surgical plan for your case during your consultation.

Breast Augmentation Can Improve
The Recovery Timeline
- The Appearance: Your breasts will look temporarily high on your chest wall, firm, and swollen. Do not worry, this is completely normal. The muscles and skin need time to relax and allow the implants to settle.
- Sensation: You will feel a strong sensation of tightness, pressure, or a deep ache across your chest, similar to an intense upper-body workout. This is easily managed with prescribed comfort medication.
- Movement: You must wear your front-closing surgical support bra 24/7. Avoid lifting your elbows above your shoulders or picking up anything weighing more than 5–10 lbs.
- Easing Tightness: The intense early pressure begins to back off significantly as the pectoral muscle adjusts to the implant.
- Routine Return: Most patients feel completely comfortable returning to office desk work, working from home, and light walking within 5 to 7 days.
- Showering: You can typically take a gentle shower once approved by your surgeon, ensuring you pat the surgical tape dry afterward.
- Natural Settling: Over these weeks, the implants will gradually migrate downward into their natural position and the lower pole of the breast will expand gently, a process known in plastic surgery as “dropping and fluffing.”
- Activity Progress: You can resume light cardiovascular exercise (like stationary cycling or brisk walking) around week 3, but you must avoid high-impact bouncing, running, or heavy chest-press exercises until week 6.
Healing timelines vary from person to person.
