What is Breast Augmentation?
with breast implants
Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure that helps women enhance the shape of their breasts or add volume to naturally small busts due to weight loss, pregnancy, or genetics. The procedure most commonly involves the use of silicone breast implants, which come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to provide patients with the customised results they desire. Breast Fat Grafting is another alternative to breast implants.
If you're considering breast augmentation in Singapore, be sure to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can help you determine the best approach for achieving your desired results.

Mentor® Implants:
Each silicone implant is filled with MENTOR's proprietary cohesive gel, MemoryGel®, which holds together uniformly while resembling the natural look and feel of actual breasts.
Motiva® Implants:
MOTIVA® implants are 100% filled implants made from an ultra-soft gel and a silicone-based elastomer shell that adapt to the natural gravitational force and body movements. A controlled surface technology is also used to achieve a super smooth surface that will not create friction with the surrounding breast tissues.
Due to its strong cohesion, breast implants do not leak and spread to the body even if it is damaged after surgery. It is widely used in breast augmentation surgery.
Placement of Breast Implants
Before Surgery
Without proper consultation, you will not know the right placement of implants for you. During a consultation with Dr. Gavin, he will be able to determine the best and most suitable option for your body – sub-glandular or sub-muscular placement.
Sub-glandular Placement
The implant is inserted between the breast glands and the pectoral muscle. This method is recommended for those with sufficient breast tissue to conceal the implants.
Sub-muscular Placement
The implant is inserted under the breast glands and pectoral muscle. Sub-muscular placement of the implant is recommended when there is not enough soft tissue to conceal the implant. This method does not affect mammograms as the implant is placed apart from the mammary glands.
Incision Site
Silicone breast implants are inserted through a hidden breast fold skin incision and tucked under the chest muscle or skin.

Breast Fold Incision
During breast fold incision, also known as inframammary, the implant is inserted under the breast glands and pectoral muscle. Other possible incisions are axillary (armpit) and periareolar (around nipple). Sub-muscular placement of the implant is recommended when there is not enough soft tissue to conceal the implant. This method does not affect mammograms as the implant is placed apart from the mammary glands.

Breast Mastopexy
Breasts tend to lose elasticity and firmness as aging occurs but it can also be accelerated by gravity, weight fluctuations or as a result of pregnancy. The areola (pigmented area around the nipples) may have enlarged with time. This procedure, usually done under general anaesthesia, reshapes and lifts the breasts by removing excess skin as well as firms and tightens the tissues surrounding the breast area; it also rearranges the position of the areola such that it sits higher on the reconstructed breast.
Breast Reduction
For women who find large breasts a hindrance to their daily lives, having breast reduction surgery may literally be a weight lifted off their chests; it may also be a chance for posture correction, freedom from limited clothing options or aches and pains. By removing some of the skin and tissue, breasts are better proportioned and the nipple and areola are reduced to complement the reconfigured size.
Breast Reconstruction (TRAM Flap)
In some cases, a mastectomy may be followed up by breast reconstruction. One of the methods employed is referred to as TRAM (Traverse Rectus Abdominal Muscle) Flap Reconstruction which uses existing tissue, muscles, fat and skin taken from a different part of the body, usually the lower abdomen, to reconstruct the breast mound. As this procedure necessitates adequate medical planning and discussion, it is best to speak with a medical professional to consider all aspects.
Breast Reconstruction (LD Flap)
Another type of breast reconstruction technique is the LD (Latissimus Dorsi) flap involves an incision near the shoulder blade. Through this incision, a portion of the skin, blood vessels, fat and muscles are tunnelled through under the skin to form a mound that resembles a breast. This procedure is usually used to create small to medium size breasts or to create a pocket in order to insert an implant.
Fat Grafting to Breasts
This procedure is better suited for people who would rather use their own fat and tissues to synthetic breast implants. Additionally, the breasts are not the only beneficiaries of this procedure as the area from which the fats are being removed from also will see a decline in mass. Futhermore, fat grafting results in breasts that have a more natural feel as the fat harvest from the patient is filtered, purified, liquidised and re-injected into the breasts.
Nipple Reconstruction
Usually sought after by cancer patients, nipple reconstruction surgery caters for those who may have undergone breast reconstruction surgery and are looking to complete the reconstruction process. Though heavily dependant on the surgeon’s professional opinion and the recovery period required after the breast reconstruction, there are a few options to consider — skin flap suturing, skin grafting, autologous grafting and medical tattooing. Each procedure is determinant on the type of breast reconstruction and from where the fat and tissues were taken from.
Usually, nipple reconstruction surgery takes place 3 to 4 months after breast reconstruction surgery in order for the breast to heal adequately. For those who have had cancer, the process could be delayed due to complications.
