Breast enlargement (Augmentation Mammaplasty)
Breast augmentation is usually done to balance a difference in breast size, to improve body contour, or as a reconstructive technique following surgery. The procedure is performed by inserting a breast implant behind breast tissue or above the breast muscle. Implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with varying designs, in a range of materials. They can be placed in different positions through a variety of incision locations. The goal is to leave your breasts looking as natural as possible, while enlarging them to your desired size.
The surgeon may recommend that a breast lift and breast augmentation be performed at the same time. This is most commonly recommended to treat the sagging appearance that results from aging or pregnancy. During this combined procedure, some breast tissue is removed, the breast skin is tightened and lifted, and an implant is inserted.

Incisions are made to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible, under the breast, around the nipple, or in the armpit. Breast tissue and skin is lifted to create a pocket for each implant. |
The breast implant may be inserted directly under the breast tissue, partially or completely beneath the pectoral muscle. |
After surgery, breasts appear fuller and more natural in tone and contour. Scars will fade with time. |
Benefits of breast enlargement
Breast enlargement is a very popular procedure
that can be extremely satisfying. It is a permanent improvement to
breast shape and size, commonly chosen in women who are not satisfied
with the development of their breasts, or in the case of trauma,
disease or post-pregnancy loss.
Generally, most patients benefit by having major boosts in their self-confidence, and femininity.
Best candidates for breast enlargement
The best candidates for breast surgery are women who are emotionally well-adjusted and who have a thorough understanding of the procedure. They are in good health, have a history of physical activity, and eat a healthy diet. Breast surgery is a good choice to enhance a figure, but not to completely change it. Understanding the procedure will help you form realistic expectations.
Preparation for breast enlargement
Before you undergo breast enlargement, it is important for you to discuss any medical conditions that you have and to tell your surgeon about any medications that you are taking including any herbal or other non-prescription ones. If your surgeon decides that you can have breast enlargement, discuss the procedure thoroughly with him or her before deciding if you want to go through with the procedure. Even though your surgeon says that you may does not mean that you must decide to have breast enlargement. You may still change your mind even after discussing the procedure with your surgeon.
The surgeon will consult with you either by email
or on the phone prior to your departure to understand your requests
fully, and will also detail the procedure, benefits and risks and
answer any questions you have. He may require additional information
from you before booking the procedure - including a photo, and a
doctor's medical report. The assessment with the surgeon will give you a
detailed understanding of the treatment - the extent of
surgery, your health evaluation,
your expectations and exactly what kind of implants is suitable for you. When you are
happy with what has been discussed, and have signed a booking form for
the operation, the surgery will be booked at a date agreed.
Your surgeon should be able to answer any questions that you have about breast enlargements including questions about what to expect during and after a breast enlargement and the complications or problems that sometimes occur with breast enlargements. You may also take information from this website to your appointment to discuss with him.
You will then have another consultation with the
surgeon when you arrive in Malaysia, where he will have a physical evaluation of the areas to be treated. At this appointment you and your surgeon will discuss your
goals, and last queries you have and finalize the plan for surgery. During this consultation, the surgeon will also discuss the size and shape you are looking for, implant placement, and your feelings about the procedure. Your anatomy plays a major role in these decisions. The surgeon will talk with you about the options for surgery—depending on your current measurements, your body frame, and your expectations.

Surgical procedure
The operation is carried out under general
anesthetic, and requires an overnight stay.
Where the implants are placed depends on your
preferences and the surgeon's recommendations. Our surgeons usually place implants
beneath the breast tissue; but implants can be placed in front of, or behind,
the pectoral muscle. Each position has its own advantages, which the
surgeon will discuss thoroughly during your consultation. For your benefit, we shall describe the different incisions and implant placements in brief:
The 4 different incisions:
- Under the breast (inframammary incision)
- Around the nipple (peri-areolar incision)
- In the arm pit (transaxillary incision)
- In the navel area (trans-umbilical or TUBA incision)
The 3 positions for implant placement:
- Above the pectoral muscles (sub-glandular)
- Partially behind the muscles (partial sub-muscular)
- Completely behind the muscles (complete sub-muscular)
Incisions
Under the breast (inframammary incision)
The inframammary incision is placed in the proximity of the crease where the breast and chest come together. This crease is called the inframammary fold.
To perform the inframammary incision, the surgeon selects the optimum location to place the incision—under the breast and close to the inframammary fold. The surgeon makes the incision and creates a pocket in which to place the breast implant. The implant is slid upward through the incision, then centered behind the nipple.
The incision is located to secure proper placement of the implant, but also to reduce scar visibility. Scarring from properly located inframammary incisions should be easily hidden under a swimsuit top.
The advantages of this incision type is that implants may be placed in all three locations - above, partially behind or completely behind the pectoral muscle.
Around the nipple (peri-areolar incision)
To perform the peri-areolar incision, the surgeon makes an incision at the edge of the areola. The goal of the incision is to place it in the transition area between the dark areola and surrounding breast skin where it can be hidden.
After the incision, the surgeon creates a pocket for the breast implant and then slides the implant through the incision into the breast pocket. Once inserted, the implant is then centered behind the nipple.
One possible advantage of the peri-areola surgery is that there may be no visible scar, because of the color and texture characteristics of the areola border. In some cases, a scar may be visible. Another advantage, as with the inframammary incision, this incision allows the implant to be placed in precise pocket formation and provides for absolute controlled bleeding.
In the arm pit (transaxillary incision)
The transaxillary incision is made in the natural folds of the armpit tissue, then a channel is created up to the breast. This procedure is sometimes performed with an endoscope, or a small tube with a surgical light and camera embedded in the end, to provide visibility through the channel. The implant is inserted and moved through the channel, then positioned and centered behind the nipple.
The biggest advantage of this incision type is that the scar is not at the breast, and can accommodate all three types of implant placement.
In the navel area (trans-umbilical or TUBA incision)
The TUBA incision is made on the rim of the navel. A tunnel is then made under the skin through the subcutaneous fat layer. An endoscope can be used to create the tunnel and to provide visibility to the surgeon. An endoscope is a thin tube with a camera and surgical light embedded on the end. The tunnel reaches all the way behind the breast into the layer of loose tissue between the breast and pectoral muscles. After a pocket is created in the breast, the implant is inserted through the incision and moved up into the breast area. The implant is then centered behind the nipple.
Like the transaxillary incision, the TUBA incision does not leave any scars on the breast; and supports all three implant placement positions.
Implant Placement Positions
Above the pectoral muscles (sub-glandular)
This position places the implant behind the breast, but in front of the muscles and tissues that line the front of the ribs and chest wall. The fatty tissue in the breast is what gives the breast a soft consistency. This tissue extends throughout the breasts, surrounding the glands and fibrous tissues.
Partially behind the muscles (partial sub-muscular)
In partial sub-muscular implant placement, the implant is placed behind the breast tissue and partially under the pectoral and other chest muscles. During the procedure, the lowest part of the Pectoralis Major muscle is cut so that the upper part of the implant sits deeply beneath the muscle, but the lower part sits beneath the breast (subglandular).
Completely behind the muscles (complete sub-muscular)
In full sub-muscular implant placement, the implant is placed completely under the pectoral muscles. Some surgeons believe that this position reduces the potential of capsular contracture, and may also interfere less with breast examination by mammogram than if the implant is placed directly behind the breast tissue. Placement behind the muscle however, may be more painful for a few days after surgery than placement directly under the breast tissue.
Breast implants
1. Silicone
The most popular implants
are silicone, which have been successfully used in many types of
implants for many decades. The advantage of silicone is that they feel
more natural, and have a lower tendency to ripple.
Fears that people had
about silicone leading to breast cancer and connective diseases has
been disproved. Silicone has developed a great deal to be completely
safe, and The European Committee on Quality Assurance and Medical
Devices in Plastic Surgery (EQUAM) published the research results and
stated that there is no proof that silicone implants cause any
diseases. In fact, women get more silicone from their lipstick or
daily beauty creams than their breast implants.
2. Saline
Saline implants comprise
of weak salt solution similar to body fluids. The advantage is that
they can fit through a smaller incision, but the disadvantage is -
because they are made of water - they can ripple and feel 'squishy'.
Shape and size
There are different types of implant - varying in
shape and consistency. They can be rounded in shape or anatomical/tear-drop shape. The silicone can be softer or firmer according to your
requirements. The surgeon will assess you and guide you as to which
one is best for your requirements.
Recovery and Post-op care
How bruised, sore, and swollen your breasts are after surgery, depends on individual. You can expect to wear a surgical bra for several days, or until swelling has subsided. Rather than being a sharp pain, it is more like a dull ache. Your
surgeon will prescribe a pain reliever or creams if necessary -
however, do not take aspirin for 2 weeks after surgery as it can
increase the risk of bleeding.
After about 2 days, the discomfort will subside,
however the recovery time varies from person to person. The nursing
team will observe you and be on call if you have any concerns and to
make sure you are recovering well.
Ensure you drink plenty of fluids, and eat
nourishing foods, which is part of the Gorgeous Getaways health
program.
Heavy lifting or straining should be avoided after surgery for at least a month because this can cause the breasts to swell and increase pressure. You can typically return to work within a week and to full activity within a few weeks. Sensation in your nipples may be reduced temporarily, but should return to normal as your breasts heal.
We provide
excellent post-care support, with follow-up visits and programs to
assist your recovery. If you have any questions or concerns, please
let us know and we will schedule an appointment with the surgeon.
Recommended length of stay on holiday
3 weeks. During your recovery time, and to
achieve the best results, we suggest you take part in other programs
we offer - pampering programs and spa, or gentle exercise and yoga
classes. At all times, we take special care of you to ensure the right
programs for your situation. Depending on how you feel, you may also
like to take a tour around Malaysia or neighboring Singapore.
Other recommended procedures with a breast enlargement
Many people who travel to Malaysia have more than
one procedure because of the cost advantages and also for a more
balanced look. Face treatments - the popular facelift, or eye lift -
are popular with breast enlargements to freshen the face. Liposuction to the lower body is also very popular to give an overall better
shape.
The "Ultimate
Makeover" includes a breast enlargement with
a choice of other surgical and non-surgical procedures.
Enquire for more
information.
Your new look
Most people who undergo breast enlargement are
thrilled with the results, making them feel more womanly, sexier and
confident. As long as you remain realistic about the results, you will
be pleased with the outcome.
Breast enlargement is permanent, however, breast
size and shape will change during the normal stages of life -
pregnancy, weight loss and gain and ageing.
Preconditions and Risks
We minimize risks and complications by selecting
patients carefully and always having the most skilled surgeons,
physicians and nurses carry out procedures. However, despite the
highest standards, complications can occur. They are rare, and most
patients will not have complications, but if you have concerns about
possible complications, please discuss these with your doctor.
Please read the preconditions and risks page before embarking on any surgery. Please read the following list of possible complications/risks:
Infection
If infection occurs, it is usually within days or weeks of surgery. Though rare, infection can occur long after breast surgery when the incisions are completely healed. In rare cases, the implant is removed until the infection subsides, then replaced at a later date.
Nipple Sensitivity and Numbness
Some women report that their nipples become oversensitive, undersensitive, or even numb. You may also notice small patches of numbness near your incisions. These symptoms usually disappear within time, but may be permanent in some patients.
Bottoming Out
Bottoming out is a complication when the implant rides too low in the breast tissue and may cause the nipple to point upwards. Correction for bottoming out may be accomplished by re-entering the breast and re-creating the pocket.
Symmastia
Symmastia produces the appearance of breasts being too close to each other. To correct symmastia, a surgical procedure may be required. Larger implants may be exchanged for smaller implants. After corrective surgery, a special support bra and other supportive bandages may be needed to provide the necessary cleavage support while the tissues heal.
Capsular Contraction
The body's natural healing process creates a capsule around the breast implant, just as it would any other foreign object. Capsular formation is normal and also occurs with other types of implant surgery including placement of pacemakers, artificial bones, or joints. In some cases, however, the capsule closes or contracts around the implant. This closure is called capsular contraction. Capsular contraction can occur at anytime after surgery—when it does occur, it is typically within a few months. Capsular contraction, however, is not common.
Capsular contraction compresses the implant, causing the implant to look distorted. In the most advanced cases, the implant can feel hard and misshapen. The implant has not changed or hardened, but the capsule squeezing the implant has caused it to feel hard.
Treatment for capsular contraction requires surgery to remove or replace the implant.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift will raise and
reshape breasts that have become out of shape because of pregnancy or
time. It is a permanent improvement in breast shape and size. This
procedure can be used in conjunction with breast implants to increase
both firmness and size.
 |
 |
 |
Breasts begin to sag and the areolas become larger as we age or after childbirth. |
Anchor incisions follow surgical markings that outline the area of skin to be removed and for nipple re-positioning. The degree of lift needed generally will determine the number and length of the incisions. |
The breast is reshaped by bringing the skin together above the nipple. Sutures close the incisions, giving the breast its new contour. |
 |
 |
Post surgery, breasts are higher and firmer. Sutures usually located around the areola, below it, and in the crease under the breast. (notice the sutures forming an anchor) |
With realistic expectations, women generally find great satisfaction from this procedure. |
Benefits of breast lift
Breast lift surgery is effective in lifting and reshaping saggy breasts for both smaller and larger breasted patients. In some cases, smaller breasts may retain their lift results longer after a breast lift than larger breasts. This is because the weight of larger breasts works against the changes made during the plastic surgery.
Best candidates for breast lift
Improving your breast shape can improve self confidence and change how you are perceived by others. The procedure, however, does not completely change who you are and may not meet unrealistic expectations. The procedure also does not permanently change the breast shape and firmness. You may expect the effects of aging and gravity to continue through time. In these cases, a secondary revision surgery may be required. The best candidates for this cosmetic surgery are women who are emotionally well-adjusted, have realistic expectations, and a thorough understanding of the procedure.

Surgical procedure
The operation is carried out under general
anesthetic, and requires an overnight stay. The procedure may vary,
but usually, the excess skin is removed and the nipple is elevated so
it sits higher on the breast mound. The degree of lift needed generally will determine the number and length of the incisions. The more lift a patient needs, the more likely the patient will need a lift with more extensive incisions.
Some patients, especially those with relatively
small breasts and minimal sagging, may be modified procedures
requiring less extensive incisions.
The anchor incision technique with three incisions is typically used by our surgeons:
- The first incision is around the areola, extending above it and creating a new position for the nipple.
- The second incision runs vertically from the nipple down to the bottom of the breast.
- The third incision runs on the underside of the breast just above the fold under the breast.
These incisions create flaps where excess skin will be removed.
Excess skin may also be removed as the nipple and areola are moved to a higher location on the breast. The nipple is normally positioned so that it will be even (vertically) with the lower crease between the breast and chest. The skin that was previously above the nipple is brought down around the nipple and sutured together under the breast. The nipple and areola remain connected to the underlying breast tissue and the associated nerve and blood supply, reducing the chances of sensation loss.
If a breast implant is combined with the breast
lift, it will be placed in a pocket under, partially under or completely under the pectoral muscle..
Recovery and Post-op care
How bruised, sore, and swollen your breasts are after surgery, depends on individual. You can expect to wear a surgical bra for several days, or until swelling has subsided. Your
surgeon will prescribe a pain reliever or creams if necessary -
however, do not take aspirin for 2 weeks after surgery as it can
increase the risk of bleeding. Stitches will be removed after two weeks.
After a few days, the discomfort will subside,
however the recovery time varies from person to person. The nursing

The procedure does leave scars, although they'll
be covered by your bra or bathing suit. The scars will heal over time,
depending on your health and age.

Your surgeon will make every effort to make your scars as inconspicuous as possible. Still, it's important to remember that breast lift scars may be extensive and permanent. They often remain lumpy and red for months, then gradually become less obvious, sometimes eventually fading to thin white lines. Fortunately, the scars can usually be placed so that you can wear even low-cut tops.
Results may last longer or be enhanced when breast implants are inserted as part of the procedure.

Breast Reduction
Many women seek breast reduction surgery because of oversized breasts, a condition that is medically known as breast hypertrophy. Breast hypertrophy typically occurs in both breasts and happens at puberty or soon afterward. Sometimes the over enlargement of breasts occurs during pregnancy and then the enlargement persists. Although rare, the sudden onset of breast enlargement does occur. Often, women decide to do this to
relieve the physical symptoms caused by excessively heavy breasts,
including back and neck pain and skin irritation.
The procedure includes the reduction of breast
tissue, fat and skin, to make them smaller, lighter and firmer. You
may also choose to reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin
surrounding the nipple. Surgical incisions are similar to a breast lift, except in this procedure, implants may not be necessary.
The breasts take several months to settle and the
shape changes slightly as it assumes a more rounded appearance. The
surgical scars will fade over time.
Your surgeon will examine you and advise you what
procedure is best in your case, as well as giving you all the
information about the surgery. Please refer to the information above
in Breast enlargement for details about the pre and post procedures.
A breast reduction is often carried out with liposuction to the
stomach or hips to give a more balanced proportion. You can
enquire and receive a quote from
us.
Please read the
preconditions and risks page before embarking on any surgery.
Benefits of breast reduction
Breast reduction is typically performed to create a more proportional chest curvature with your overall body shape, and to alleviate problems with activities, health, and clothing. The procedure can also help achieve symmetry where breasts are not equal in size. The plastic surgeon can change the shape and firmness of the breasts to create a more aesthetic appeal. Nipple surgery may also be performed to reduce areola size. In fact, the breast reduction candidate may require a breast lift to achieve a fully satisfactory outcome.
Best candidates for breast reduction
The best candidates for breast reduction surgery are well-adjusted women whose oversized breasts cause health and medical problems, interfere with routine activities, disrupt sleep, or suffer related self-consciousness issues.
Preparation for breast reduction
Before you undergo breast reduction, it is important for you to discuss any medical conditions that you have and to tell your surgeon about any medications that you are taking including any herbal or other non-prescription ones.

but usually, the excess skin is removed and the nipple is elevated so
it sits higher on the breast mound.
You will typically be given surgical markings encircling the areola and extending above the areola to the new location of the nipple. The markings also extend down vertically below the nipple and horizontally following the natural curve of the crease beneath your breast. Incisions will be made following these markings also known as the anchor incision.
Upon completion of the procedure, stitches remain around the areola and nipple area, in a vertical line beneath the nipple and horizontally under the breast. If the breasts were not too overly large, then some surgical techniques can avoid the horizontal scar altogether.
Recovery and Post-op care
How bruised, sore, and swollen your breasts are after surgery, depends on individual. You can expect to wear a surgical bra for several days, or until swelling has subsided. Your

Breast Reconstruction
Women who consider breast reconstruction surgery
tend to be either breast cancer survivors who have had single or
double mastectomies or women who have had their breast tissue removed
as a way of reducing the risk of breast cancer due to a significant
family history of the disease. Women who have had lumpectomy
procedures do not need reconstructive surgery.
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure, performed by a plastic
surgeon that restores the appearance of a breast by rebuilding the
breast contour. Women can also opt to reconstruct the nipple and
darker area around the nipple called the areola. Reconstruction will
not restore the normal feel and sensation of your breast.
Breast reconstruction can be done at the same time as your mastectomy.
The main benefit of immediate reconstruction is one less surgical
procedure to endure.
Your surgeon will examine you and advise you what
procedure is best in your case, as well as giving you all the
information about the surgery. Please refer to the information above
in Breast enlargement for details about the pre and post procedures.
Please read the
preconditions and risks page before embarking on any surgery.
Benefits of breast reconstruction
A fairly obvious benefit for breast reconstruction after a single or double masectomy is restoring the self confidence by improving the aesthetic appearance of the breasts.
Best candidates for breast reconstruction
The best candidates for a breast reconstruction are healthy women of all ages, particularly those who have undergone a masectomy, or those who suffer from self-consciousness issues.
Preparation for breast reconstruction
Before you undergo breast reconstruction, it is important for you to discuss any medical conditions that you have and to tell your surgeon about any medications that you are taking including any herbal or other non-prescription ones.

your expectations and exactly what parts of the body will be treated. When you are
happy with what has been discussed, and have signed a booking form for
the operation, the surgery will be booked at a date agreed.
Your surgeon should be able to answer any questions that you have about breast reconstruction including questions about what to expect during and after breast reconstruction and the complications or problems that sometimes occur with breast reconstruction. You may also take information from this website to your appointment to discuss with him.
You will then have another consultation with the
surgeon when you arrive in Malaysia, where he will have a physical evaluation of the areas to be treated. At this appointment you and your surgeon will discuss your
goals, and last queries you have and finalize the plan for surgery.

Surgical procedure
The operation is carried out under general
anesthetic, and requires an overnight stay. The procedure depends on which area of the breasts need to be treated, and requires a thorough consultation with the surgeon. Breast reconstruction typically requires implants, especially if a lot of breast tissue has been removed.
Recovery and Post-op care
How bruised, sore, and swollen your breasts are after surgery, depends on individual. You can expect to wear a surgical bra for several days, or until swelling has subsided.
The discomfort will subside,
however the recovery time varies from person to person. The nursing
team will observe you and be on call if you have any concerns and to
make sure you are recovering well.
Ensure you drink plenty of fluids, and eat
nourishing foods, which is part of the Gorgeous Getaways health
program.
Heavy lifting or straining should be avoided after surgery for at least a month because this can cause the breasts to swell and increase pressure.
We provide
excellent post-care support, with follow-up visits and programs to
assist your recovery. If you have any questions or concerns, please
let us know and we will schedule an appointment with the surgeon.
The procedure does leave scars, although they'll
be covered by your bra or bathing suit. The scars will heal over time,
depending on your health and age.
Recommended length of stay on holiday
3 weeks. During your recovery time, and to
achieve the best results, we suggest you take part in other programs
we offer - pampering programs and spa, or gentle exercise and yoga
classes. At all times, we take special care of you to ensure the right
programs for your situation. Depending on how you feel, you may also
like to take a tour around Malaysia or neighboring Singapore.
Other recommended procedures with a breast reconstruction
Many people who travel to Malaysia have more than
one procedure because of the cost advantages and also for a more
balanced look. Face treatments - the popular facelift, or eye lift -
are popular with breast surgeries to freshen the face. Liposuction
to the lower body is also very popular to give an overall better
shape.
The "Ultimate
Makeover" can include breast reconstruction with a choice
of other surgical and non-surgical procedures. Enquire for more information.
Your new look
Breast reconstruction is permanent, however, breast size
and shape will change with gravity over time and during the normal
stages of life - pregnancy, weight loss and gain and ageing. It is
also important to remember that scars are permanent, although they
will fade over time.
Your surgeon will make every effort to make your scars as inconspicuous as possible. Still, it's important to remember that breast reconstruction scars may be extensive and permanent. They often remain lumpy and red for months, then gradually become less obvious, sometimes eventually fading to thin white lines. Fortunately, the scars can usually be placed so that you can wear even low-cut tops.
Preconditions and Risks
We minimize risks and complications by selecting
patients carefully and always having the most skilled surgeons,
physicians and nurses carry out procedures. However, despite the
highest standards, complications like excessive bleeding and infections can occur. They are rare, and most
patients will not have complications, but if you have concerns about
possible complications, please discuss these with your doctor. Other possible risks include thick, wide scars; skin loss; unevenly positioned nipples; and permanent loss of feeling in nipples or breast.
Please read the preconditions and risks page before embarking on any surgery.
