Aesthetic Breast Surgery

It depends on what you would like to change, whether that is size, shape, position, symmetry, or the look of the nipple and areola. Some people want more volume, others want a lift, a reduction, or a revision of earlier surgery. A consultation lets Dr. Jaberi examine your anatomy and talk through the options, including the option of not having surgery. No procedure is right for everyone, and results cannot be guaranteed.

Breast augmentation adds volume, most often with implants, or sometimes with fat transfer. A breast lift repositions the breast and nipple and removes excess skin, but it does not reliably add size. Which one suits you depends on whether your main goal is fullness, position, or both. Your surgeon can assess this during an examination.

Yes, in many cases the two are combined in one operation, which is called augmentation with lift. It may be suggested when someone wants more volume and also has breasts that sit lower. Combining them involves more incisions and a longer procedure, and in some situations a staged approach may be advised. Whether combining is suitable for you is decided after an examination.

Most people feel sore and tired for the first several days, with swelling and bruising that gradually settle over weeks. Many return to light or desk work within about one to two weeks, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are usually restricted longer. Recovery varies by procedure and by person, and you will receive written instructions specific to your surgery. Final shape can take several months to appear.

Every breast operation leaves scars, and their location depends on the procedure. Augmentation usually involves a short scar, while lifts and reductions need longer incisions around the areola and sometimes down to or along the breast fold. Scars are permanent, usually fade over a year or more, and vary from person to person. Their appearance cannot be promised, and your surgeon will show you where they would be placed.

All surgery carries risks, including bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, changes in sensation, asymmetry, and unfavourable scarring. Implant surgery adds specific risks such as capsular contracture, implant rupture or malposition, and the possible need for further surgery. Anesthesia has its own risks. Your surgeon will review how these apply to you before you decide.

Many people can, but it cannot be guaranteed. Augmentation, lift, and reduction can each affect milk ducts or nipple sensation to different degrees, and breast reduction in particular may reduce the ability to breastfeed. If you may want to breastfeed in the future, tell your surgeon so it can be factored into planning.

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. Many last years or even decades, but there is no fixed expiry, and some people need exchange, removal, or revision sooner because of complications or changing preferences. Regular follow-up, and imaging if your surgeon advises it, are part of long-term care. It is wise to plan on the possibility of future surgery.

Often, yes. Revision can address concerns such as implant position, capsular contracture, size changes, asymmetry, or scars, or it can involve implant exchange or removal. Revision surgery can be more complex than a first operation, and the result is less predictable. An examination and a review of your surgical history are the first steps.
