What is breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also called augmentation mammoplasty, adds volume to the breasts and can improve their shape and symmetry. It is done in one of two ways:

  • Breast implants: a silicone implant is placed behind the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle through a small incision, usually in the fold under the breast.
  • Fat transfer breast augmentation: fat is taken by liposuction from an area such as the tummy or thighs, purified and grafted into the breasts. This gives a more modest increase in size and also slims the donor area.

Some patients also need a breast lift at the same time, for example after pregnancy or weight loss, when the breasts have dropped as well as lost volume.

Implants or fat transfer: which suits you?

Breast implantsFat transfer
Size increaseFrom modest to significant, chosen by implant sizeModest, usually up to about one cup size
ShapeRound or anatomical (teardrop) implantsNatural, soft shape from your own tissue
Extra benefitPredictable volumeSlims the area the fat is taken from
Good forMost patients wanting a clear change in sizePatients wanting a subtle change with enough donor fat
Things to knowImplants are not lifelong devices and may need replacing in futureSome grafted fat is reabsorbed; a second session is sometimes needed

Who is breast augmentation for?

Breast augmentation may suit you if you:

  • Feel your breasts are small for your frame
  • Have lost breast volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss
  • Have noticeably uneven breasts
  • Are in good general health, at a stable weight, and do not smoke (or can stop for several weeks around surgery)
  • Have realistic expectations and are choosing surgery for yourself

It is not the right time if you:

  • Are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy soon
  • Have an untreated breast condition or an abnormal breast examination or scan
  • Have a medical condition that makes anaesthesia unsafe
  • Are under 18 (for silicone implants, many surgeons advise waiting until 22)

Your journey, step by step

  1. Free consultation with our plastic surgeon. Your surgeon listens to your goals, examines and measures your chest, explains implants and fat transfer, and helps you choose size and shape. You leave with a written plan and price.
  2. Pre-surgery checks. Blood tests, any imaging needed and an anaesthetic assessment. You get clear instructions on medicines, smoking and fasting.
  3. Surgery day. The operation takes about 1 to 2 hours under general anaesthesia.
  4. The first week. You wear a surgical bra, rest and take prescribed pain relief. You see your surgeon for a check-up.
  5. Follow-up. Regular check-ups through the first months as your breasts settle.

Results and recovery

Your new breast size is visible straight after surgery, but the breasts sit high and feel firm at first. Over 3 to 6 months, swelling settles and implants soften and drop into a more natural position. Scars fade gradually over 12 to 18 months. Results vary from person to person.

Typical recovery:

  • First days: tightness, swelling and discomfort, managed with pain relief.
  • About 1 week: most people return to desk work.
  • 2 to 3 weeks: light activity and walking.
  • About 6 weeks: full exercise, lifting and sleeping on your front, if your surgeon agrees.
  • Wear the surgical bra as advised, usually for about 6 weeks.

Risks and complications

Breast augmentation is major surgery, and it is important to understand the risks before you decide. Your surgeon will go through them with you in detail. They include:

  • General surgery and anaesthesia risks: bleeding, blood clots, infection, reactions to anaesthesia
  • Capsular contracture: scar tissue tightening around an implant, which can make the breast firm or misshapen and may need further surgery
  • Implant problems: rupture, leakage, rippling or the implant moving position
  • Changes in sensation: in the nipple or breast, usually temporary but occasionally lasting
  • Asymmetry and scarring: small differences between breasts, or scars that heal less well than expected
  • Revision surgery: implants are not lifelong devices, and some women need further surgery in future
  • Rare implant-related conditions: including a rare lymphoma linked to textured implants (BIA-ALCL), and symptoms some women attribute to their implants (sometimes called breast implant illness)
  • Fat transfer: some fat is reabsorbed, small lumps or oil cysts can form, calcifications can show on mammograms, and rarely fat embolism occurs

Breast implants can also make mammograms more difficult to read, so tell the radiographer you have implants.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does breast augmentation cost in Dubai?

The cost of breast augmentation in Dubai usually ranges from AED 25,000 to AED 50,000, depending on implants or fat transfer, the implant brand and type and the clinic. Typical ranges: Breast augmentation with implants, AED 25,000 to AED 50,000; Fat transfer breast augmentation, AED 20,000 to AED 40,000. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your surgeon confirms your exact price in writing at your consultation, before any treatment.

What is breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is surgery to increase breast size or improve shape and symmetry, using breast implants or your own fat moved by liposuction.

What is the difference between breast augmentation and breast implants?

Breast implants are one way of doing a breast augmentation. The other is fat transfer, which uses your own fat instead of an implant.

Is fat transfer breast augmentation better than implants?

Neither is better for everyone. Fat transfer gives a modest, natural increase and slims the donor area, while implants allow a larger, more predictable change. Your surgeon will recommend what suits your body and goals.

How long is recovery after breast augmentation?

Most people return to desk work in about a week, light activity in 2 to 3 weeks, and full exercise after about 6 weeks, if their surgeon agrees.

How long do breast implants last?

Implants are not lifelong devices. Many last well over 10 years, but some women need further surgery, for example for capsular contracture or a change in preference.

Will I be able to breastfeed after breast augmentation?

Many women can breastfeed after augmentation, especially when the incision is in the breast fold, but this is not certain. Discuss your plans with your surgeon.

Which implant brands are used?

Your surgeon explains the implant options and their warranties at your consultation.

Is the consultation free?

Yes. The first consultation with our plastic surgeon is free, and you leave with a written plan and price.
