BREAST AUGMENTATION IN SINGAPORE

Breast augmentation can be performed for many different purposes. Several methods are available, and suitability depends on anatomical, medical, and personal considerations.

Choosing an implant involves more than selecting a size. Material, shape, profile, and surface all play a role in how the implant behaves and how it may feel within the body.

Silicone implants

• Filled with cohesive silicone gel
• Available in a wide range of sizes and profiles
• Designed to retain shape even if the outer shell is damaged

Saline implants

• Filled with sterile saline during surgery
• May allow smaller incisions in some cases
• Behaviour in the event of leakage differs from silicone

Motiva implant options include silicone implants with specific gel and shell characteristics. These features relate to how the implant interacts with surrounding tissue. The brand also includes approaches intended to limit disruption to breast tissue during placement. 

Implants may be placed:

• Over the chest muscle (subglandular placement), or
• Under the chest muscle (submuscular placement).

Each placement has implications for comfort, recovery, and imaging, which can be discussed with the surgeon during planning for breast augmentation in Singapore.

Fat transfer breast augmentation in Singapore uses the individual’s own fat to enhance breast volume. The process involves liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, followed by purification of the harvested fat and careful injection into the breast tissue.

Typical characteristics of this method include:

• Moderate volume increase rather than very large changes
• Natural resorption of some transferred fat, meaning final volume may differ from the immediate post-procedure result
• Potential need for more than one session if a greater increase in size is desired
• Use alone or in combination with implants, where fat can refine contour or soften the edges of an implant

Points to consider:

• Small incisions are used for liposuction and injection, and scar visibility varies between individuals
• Not all transferred fat survives; in some cases, small areas may harden (fat necrosis) and may require monitoring or further treatment

This method is sometimes described as a form of natural breast augmentation in Singapore, as it uses the individual’s own tissue, though outcomes vary. This approach is chosen based on body shape, available donor fat, preferences regarding implants, and the desired final outcome.

Several breast procedures are commonly considered alongside augmentation or as alternatives. These procedures address concerns that implants or fat transfer alone may not fully treat.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift tightens and repositions breast tissue to address sagging that may occur due to ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes. A lift focuses on reshaping and raising the breast without increasing volume. It may be performed on its own or discussed together with augmentation when both lifting and added fullness are desired.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction decreases breast size and weight by removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin. It may be considered when breasts feel disproportionately large, heavy, or cause physical discomfort. Reduction can also improve symmetry in cases where one breast is significantly larger than the other.



Reconstruction-Related Augmentation

Breast reconstruction is used to restore breast volume and contour after mastectomy, lumpectomy, trauma, infection, or congenital differences in breast development. Depending on medical suitability and tissue availability, this may involve implants, fat grafting, or flap-based reconstruction.

The breast augmentation cost in Singapore can vary and may depend on:

• Implant type (including whether a premium or specialised design is chosen)
• Whether the procedure is a first-time augmentation or a revision
• Anaesthesia and operating facility fees
• Combination with other procedures, such as fat grafting or breast lift

A personalised estimate is usually provided after clinical assessment and discussion of goals.

Suitability for augmentation is assessed on medical, anatomical, and psychological factors. Individuals may be considered suitable if they:

• Wish to change breast size, shape, or symmetry
• Have fully developed breasts
• Are in stable general health
• Do not have uncontrolled medical conditions that significantly increase surgical risk
• Understand the potential risks, limitations, and the possibility of future revision



Some individuals report feeling more comfortable with their body proportions after breast enhancement in Singapore, but emotional and psychological experiences differ. A detailed consultation allows these aspects to be explored in a balanced way.

Recovery after breast augmentation follows a general pattern but varies between individuals and techniques.

Typical early recovery

• Swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness are common in the first one to two weeks.
• Many people return to desk-based work after a couple of days. If they feel comfortable, some can return to work as early as the next day.
• Heavy lifting, contact sports, and high-impact exercise are usually restricted for a longer period, according to the surgeon’s advice.

Longevity of results

• Implants are designed to last many years; some individuals keep them for 15–20 years.
• Implants are not considered lifetime devices, and revision surgery may be recommended if complications such as rupture or capsular contracture occur.
• Breast shape continues to change over time due to ageing, gravity, weight variation, and life events such as pregnancy.

Breast augmentation recovery in Singapore can vary depending on the technique used, individual healing patterns, and the guidance provided by the surgeon.
