What Happens During a Breast Augmentation?
The procedure involves implants being inserted beneath the breasts to enlarge them. The implant type and size depends on factors such as how much bigger you want your breasts to be, your breast anatomy, skin thickness and elasticity, and body type.
Where Do The Implants Go?
They can be placed between the breast tissue and the chest muscle, or behind the large chest muscle called the pectoralis major. Each position has its advantages and disadvantages. Dr Ying will be able to discuss all of these options in your consultation at Eydis Aesthetics.

What to expect after breast augmentation surgery?
- Breast augmentation surgery is usually done as a day case under general anaesthetic. Most patients can go home the same day with a support person.
- When you wake up after the operation you should have minimal pain as local anaesthetic will have been administered into the area. The anaesthetic lasts for about 6-12 hours.
- Pain/discomfort varies considerably from person to person. Medication to relieve pain will be prescribed.
- You will need to wear a surgical bra/garment for 6 weeks after surgery.
- There will be swelling and bruising after breast augmentation surgery. This will gradually subside with the help of garment compression.
- Most patients return to work after 10-14 days, depending on the nature of work.
- No lifting and no exercising for 4-6 weeks.
