Breast augmentation is planned around the patient’s body proportions, tissue quality, goals, and safety considerations.
At Soul Place Surgery, patients are counselled on implant options, placement, size, incision planning, recovery, and long-term maintenance before any decision is made.
The desired result is balanced and appropriate to the patient, with a clear understanding that implants may require future review or replacement.
Breast augmentation is one of the most performed cosmetic surgical procedures worldwide, and for good reason. It allows women to achieve a breast size and shape that feels proportionate to their frame — whether that means correcting natural asymmetry, restoring volume lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding, or simply achieving a silhouette that better reflects how they feel.
At SoulPlace Surgery, augmentation is performed using the latest generation of anatomical or round silicone implants, placed through a discreet incision chosen to minimise visible scarring. Your surgeon will guide you through the choice of implant type, profile, and position — decisions that are made collaboratively based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 60–90 minutes. Most patients return home the same day and are comfortable within a few days. Results are immediate and continue to refine over the first three months as swelling resolves and the implants settle naturally.

Have Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do breast implants last?
Modern breast implants are built to last 10–20 years or more, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Regular check-ups and occasional imaging are recommended to ensure implant integrity over time.
Will I lose nipple sensation after breast augmentation?
Some temporary change in sensation is common. Most patients regain full sensation within a few months to a year. Permanent changes are rare but possible — your surgeon will discuss this risk at consultation.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Most women can breastfeed after breast augmentation, particularly when the incision avoids the areola. Discuss your breastfeeding intentions with your surgeon during consultation so the technique can be planned accordingly.
What size implants should I choose?
Implant size is chosen collaboratively based on your body measurements, existing breast tissue, and desired result. Your surgeon will use sizing tools at consultation to guide the decision — the goal is always a proportionate, natural-looking result.
Is there a scar after breast augmentation?
Yes — small scars are placed in discreet locations: under the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit crease. The location is chosen for best concealment. Scars fade significantly over 12–24 months with proper scar care.
