Our clinic specialises in natural looking breast enhancements including Breast Augmentation (Implant and Fat grafting), Breast Reduction, Breast Lift, Gynecomastia surgery (Male breasts), Nipple and Areola Surgery.
In Singapore, the most common methods of breast augmentation are implants and fat transfer. For implant augmentation, the two most common implants are saline and silicone implants. Generally, silicone implants are preferred as they feel more natural. The patients can choose the incisions to be either at the armpits, areola or at the inframammary folds. The implants are placed either above or below the pectoralis major muscles depending on how much breast tissue the patient has.
Alternatively, fat grafting for the breast can be done. The fat is harvested from either the abdomen or thighs and is then centrifuged to concentrate the fat and stem cells. The processed fat is then re-injected into the breast. Usually 100-300 cc can be injected at one session allowing for about one bra cup increase in size. This is a highly technique dependent procedure so the experience and skill of the surgeon plays a crucial part in determining the survival of the fat cells.
In some patients, breast augmentation can be combined with mastopexy (breast lift) or nipple areola reduction to create the ideal breast and nipple shape that the patient desires.

Your initial consultation is your chance to have all your questions answered so it would be helpful to prepare a written list to ask your surgeon. Share about your concerns and expectations. You can also bring photos of how you would like your appearance to look like when wearing suit tops, for instance.
Communication and trust are some of the keys to a successful breast augmentation. That is why your visit with the breast augmentation surgeon should be a pleasant one. You will be asked of your desired breast size, breast shape, nipple position, cleavage and breast fullness. Be honest when sharing these information so that your surgeon can also thoroughly explain to you the procedures that fits your need.
Breast augmentation increases the size of the breasts or alter their shape according to the patient’s preferences. In Singapore, the most common methods of breast augmentation are implants and fat transfer. For implant augmentation, the two most common implants are saline and silicone implants. Generally, silicone implants are preferred as they feel more natural.
There is actually no fix standard. Your surgeon will determine the overall variables that will be considered such as your ribcage size, existing breast volume and chest shape. These will help convey if the size implant that you prefer will be fit for your body.
We want to ensure that a time slot is allocated specifically for you. That is why we strongly advise that you make a prior appointment with our staff.
