Breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Most implants may need to be replaced or revised at some point, typically after 10-15 years.

Breast implants do not require replacement after a specific timeframe. However, they can develop issues over time, necessitating removal or replacement due to technical reasons (such as implant rupture or tight scar tissue) or cosmetic reasons (such as changes in breast shape over time, post-pregnancy, or after weight loss). Therefore, it's important to understand that additional breast surgeries may be needed in the future.

Choosing the right implant size is a highly personalized decision, and Ms. Teo will guide you through this process using a sizing kit. Bringing some of your stretchy tops can help you visualize how different implant sizes will look. The choice between round or teardrop (anatomical) implants and the placement location (below the breast or below the muscle) will depend on your unique breast shape and size. Ms. Teo will thoroughly explain these options to ensure you make an informed decision.

Many women with breast implants can successfully breastfeed, but this ability can depend on the type of surgery and implant placement. Discuss your breastfeeding plans with Ms. Teo during your consultation. As a mother herself, Ms. Teo understands the significance of breastfeeding and will prioritize your needs accordingly.

Light activities can typically be resumed after a few weeks, but strenuous exercises and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least six weeks.

Incisions are made in discreet locations to minimize visible scarring. Ms Teo utilizes incisions in the inframammary crease (under the breast) which are well hidden even in swim wear.

If your breasts have become saggy, you might benefit more from a combination of breast enlargement and a breast lift (Augmentation Mastopexy). This decision depends on various factors, including the position of your nipples in relation to your breast crease, the size of the implant you desire, and whether you have experienced pregnancies or significant weight loss.

If you desire a small increase of about half to one cup size, fat transfer to the breasts might be a viable option. This well-established plastic surgery technique has been used for many years in breast cancer patients. It involves removing fat from your abdomen or thighs via liposuction, processing it to eliminate blood and oil, and then injecting it into your breasts. Some of the injected fat will be absorbed by the body over the first few months. The primary advantage of fat transfer is that it avoids introducing any foreign or unnatural substances into your body. However, the main drawback is that it only allows for a modest increase in breast size, and the volume achieved is less predictable compared to implants.
