Overview
Breast surgery is highly individual. The right operation depends on tissue quality, existing volume, nipple position and your goals — and often on the balance between shape and comfort rather than size alone.
Who it suits
- Volume loss or asymmetry after pregnancy or weight change
- Discomfort related to breast size
- Descent of breast tissue with good skin quality
- Dissatisfaction with prior surgery
The procedure
1.5 to 3 hours. Implant, fat transfer, lift, or reduction techniques are selected and often combined; incision placement is chosen for the least conspicuous scar.
Recovery
Week 1
Supportive bra worn day and night; limited arm movement.
Weeks 2–4
Most return to work and light routine.
Weeks 6+
Full exercise resumed; shape settles over three months.
Results
Stable and long-lasting; implants may require revision over the course of a lifetime.
Questions
Implant or fat transfer?
Fat suits modest, natural change; implants suit larger, more defined volume.
