Breast Augmentation

What is Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a highly specialized cosmetic procedure designed to enhance breast volume and shape through the placement of carefully selected implants. Beyond increasing size, it restores balance and proportion, creating a harmonious silhouette that feels naturally yours. This is one of the most trusted and frequently performed procedures worldwide, offering a safe and lasting solution with results that integrate seamlessly with your body’s contours.

Dr. Guessous Mohamed exclusively selects implants with an impeccable record for safety, aesthetics, and performance. As advancements in implant technology continue, he works with the latest generation Motiva implants — chosen for their superior safety profile, refined aesthetics, and meticulous traceability.

Who is Breast Augmentation For

This procedure is suited for women who feel their breast volume is underdeveloped, and can be performed from the end of puberty, generally from age 17. It is equally appropriate for restoring volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss, addressing asymmetry, or completing breast reconstruction.

During consultation, Dr. Guessous takes time to understand each patient’s expectations, carefully reviewing:

• Desired breast size – ensuring proportions enhance the overall silhouette.
• Implant placement – most often behind the pectoral muscle for optimal shape and natural movement.
• Incision site – either around the areola or discreetly in the underarm fold. Dr. Guessous favors the axillary approach for its precision, minimal trauma, and virtually undetectable scar.
• Implant shape – available in round, ergonomic, or anatomical profiles to complement both body and lifestyle.

Type of Anesthesia and Procedure Duration

Breast augmentation is performed under local anesthesia with gentle intravenous sedation, ensuring comfort without the heavier effects of general anesthesia. The procedure is efficient and precise, typically completed in under an hour, often within 30 to 45 minutes, allowing for a smoother recovery and same-day return home or to your private suite.

Hospital Stay

Most patients are able to return home the same day, enjoying the comfort of their own space as they begin recovery. When preferred or clinically indicated, a private overnight stay can be arranged for added reassurance and attentive post-operative care.

Procedure

Incision
A discreet axillary incision, hidden in the underarm crease, leaves no visible breast scar.

Implant Placement
The implant is positioned behind the pectoral muscle for natural contours and coverage. A temporary sizer is used while the patient is seated to ensure ideal volume and symmetry.

Closure & Dressing
Incisions are closed with absorbable sutures and supported by a molding bandage. Mild oral pain relief manages discomfort; some tightness in the first few days is normal.
