Breast augmentation: what to know before you decide

Breast Augmentation environment at The Royal Aesthetics

Many women want a fuller bust or one more in proportion with their figure, naturally or after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss. Breast augmentation increases volume and improves the shape of the breasts. Here is what you need to know, clearly and without over-promising.

What is breast augmentation?

It is surgery that places breast implants to add volume and restore shape. It is different from a breast lift (mastopexy), which raises sagging breasts without adding volume. The two are sometimes combined; that decision is made at your consultation.

Who is it for?

  • Women who want a fuller bust
  • Women who lost volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss
  • Women with asymmetric breasts
  • Healthy adults with realistic expectations

Choosing your implants

The right implant depends on your body and the result you want. At your consultation Prof. Dr. Qasim discusses size (based on chest width and proportions, not just a cup number), shape (round or anatomical) and placement (above or below the chest muscle), to reach a natural-looking result.

The operation and recovery

Breast augmentation is usually performed under general anaesthesia and takes about one to two hours. The incision is small and discreet, usually in the fold under the breast. Expect tightness and discomfort for the first days, managed with prescribed medication. You wear a surgical bra for several weeks. Most patients return to desk work after about a week and to sport after about six weeks, with the surgeon’s approval.

When will I see the final result?

The new volume is visible straight away, but the implants settle into their final position over a few months as swelling goes down. The scar fades over the first year.

How much does breast augmentation cost?

The price depends on the implant type, the technique and whether a lift is combined. That is why we do not quote a single price before an examination: at your consultation you receive a clear quote covering every stage.
