Breast (Breast Augmentation)
Breast surgery assesses the structure of the ribcage, body type, skin elasticity and the volume you want, and selects the implant and incision method that suit — a tailored design considering a natural line in proportion to the body and left-right balance. Results vary from person to person.
Breast, In short?
Breast augmentation assesses the structure of the ribcage, body type, skin elasticity and the volume you want, and selects the implant and incision method that suit. SM Plastic Surgery works to a tailored design that considers a natural line in proportion to the body and left-right balance, and where general anaesthesia is used an anaesthesiologist takes charge, putting safety first. Results and the pace of recovery vary from person to person.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does breast augmentation proceed?
Body type, the structure of the ribcage, skin elasticity and the volume you want are assessed together, and the implant and incision method that suit are chosen. SM Plastic Surgery puts a natural line and safety first, offering a tailored design.
How is the implant chosen?
The implant is not chosen by size alone; body type, the width of the ribcage, skin thickness and the existing breast tissue are all considered. Through a full consultation, a natural, balanced result is designed for you.
How long does recovery take after breast augmentation?
It varies, but a return to daily life is generally possible from about 3 days after surgery. The first follow-up check is at day 30, and it can take longer for swelling to subside and the tissue to settle. During recovery it matters to follow the medical team's guidance.
Are the feel and shape natural after surgery?
With the state of the skin and breast tissue, and an implant chosen to suit, a natural feel and line can be expected. SM Plastic Surgery works to a tailored design that considers body type and proportion, aiming for a natural result.
After breast augmentation, can revision become necessary?
Depending on the implant and individual change, revision can become necessary; but through authentic implants and structured aftercare, we manage so a stable state can be maintained.
