Breast Fat Transfer Surgery

At Cosmos Clinic, Breast Augmentations are undertaken by specialist plastic surgeon our doctor operating out of Sydney.

On average, tear drop implants tend to last approximately 15 years, with round implants lasting approximately 10 years.

Your breast implant procedure takes approximately 1.5 hours. In most cases, you can go home on the same day, after about 2 hours of recovery time.

The following steps are taken to perform a Breast Enlargement with implants:

• Your final choice of implants is discussed with the surgeon at your initial consultation;
• The breast enlargement is performed under a general anaesthetic where you will not feel or remember the cosmetic procedure.
• The breast is numbed with a numbing solution
• A cut is made either under the breast in the crease, under the armpit or through the nipple.  This is the incision site, and the place where we insert the implant. At Cosmos Clinic, we make an incision under the breast because it results in greater symmetry and makes the breast sit more naturally
• The surgeon will then create a pocket either above or below the muscle in which the breast enlargement implant will sit. This is done with a diathermy (a probe that cuts through tissue while stopping the bleeding)
• The implant is placed into a antiseptic solution before being inserted into the pocket
• The surgeon will manipulate the implant to ensure that it sits right. He/she may need to take out the implant and put it back in again to ensure the most natural looking results
• The area is closed with dissolvable sutures
• The procedure will take 1-2 hours
• A support bra is worn for 6 weeks
