No two women arrive at breast augmentation for the same reason. Some never developed the volume they wanted; some lost it to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change; some simply want symmetry between two sides that never matched. What they share is a decision that deserves careful planning — because in augmentation, the planning is the result.
Implants remain the most predictable route: modern cohesive silicone implants come in a wide range of sizes, profiles, and shapes, allowing precise control over the outcome. Fat transfer takes fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs by liposuction and grafts it to the breast — a natural feel and no implant, but suited to modest increases of roughly one cup size. Some patients combine both. Your anatomy, tissue quality, and goals decide the right approach, and that’s a conversation, not a menu.
Size is only one of five decisions. Implant profile (how far it projects), placement (over or under the muscle), incision location, and implant shape all affect how natural the result looks and feels. At your consultation, your surgeon measures your chest frame, evaluates your skin and existing breast tissue, and uses sizers and 3D imaging so you can preview options on your own proportions — not on a catalogue photo.
The procedure takes one to two hours under general anaesthesia, usually as a day case. Most patients return to desk work within a week, switch to a support bra for about six weeks, and resume full exercise at four to six weeks. Implants settle into their final position over two to three months. We see you at scheduled follow-ups through the first year — and your surgeon remains your point of contact, not a call centre.
Augmentation results are decided by millimetres — implant choice matched to your chest measurements, pocket placement matched to your tissue. Our plastic surgeons plan on your measured anatomy, use certified implants with full traceability documentation, and operate in accredited surgical facilities. And because revision surgery is the industry’s quiet statistic, we plan conservatively the first time: the best augmentation is the one you never need to redo.
If you’re considering breast augmentation, start with an unhurried consultation at Dermax Medical Center in Dubai. You’ll get measurements, honest advice on what suits your frame, and time to decide — no pressure, no same-day booking tactics.
Not from a catalogue. Your chest width, skin elasticity, and existing tissue set the range that will look proportionate on you. Within that range, sizers worn in a bra and 3D imaging let you preview options. Surgeon-guided sizing is the single best protection against the most common regret — choosing from photos of other people.
Modern implants are not lifetime devices, but they don't have an expiry date either. Most last 10-15 years or more; many last far longer. We recommend periodic checks, and replacement only when there's an actual reason — rupture, capsular contracture, or a change you want made.
Usually not. Incision and placement techniques are chosen to preserve glandular tissue and ducts — placement under the muscle and incisions in the breast fold have minimal impact. If future breastfeeding matters to you, say so at consultation and we plan accordingly.
Under the muscle gives more tissue coverage and a softer upper-breast transition, especially in slim patients, at the cost of slightly longer recovery. Over the muscle suits patients with more natural tissue and recovers faster. Your tissue thickness decides — it's an anatomical choice, not a preference.
The first three to four days feel like an intense chest workout — tightness and muscle soreness, managed with prescribed medication. Most patients are off strong painkillers within a week and back at desk work in five to seven days. Submuscular placement adds a little soreness; it fades the same way.
Scar tissue naturally forms around any implant; in a small percentage of patients it tightens enough to feel firm or change the breast shape. Modern implants, precise surgical technique, and follow-up monitoring keep rates low, and it's treatable if it occurs. We explain all risks — this one included — properly at consultation.
