Does Breast Augmentation have side effects?

As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries potential risks, including infection, changes in nipple or breast sensation, implant leakage, or capsular contracture. However, these complications are rare. Choosing an experienced surgical team significantly minimizes these risks.

During the procedure, anesthesia ensures you won’t feel pain. Post-operatively, some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal, but these symptoms can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Effective pain management strategies help ensure a comfortable recovery.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also called augmentation mammoplasty or breast enlargement surgery, is a surgical procedure that increases breast size and improves breast contours using breast implants or fat transfer. Women commonly choose breast augmentation to restore lost breast volume, correct breast asymmetry, or improve upper-body proportions.

Modern breast augmentation procedures use FDA-approved implants, personalized implant planning, and advanced surgical techniques to create balanced and natural-looking breast enhancement.

Types of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation procedures use different enhancement techniques based on breast anatomy, desired breast size, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals.

Breast Implants

Breast implant augmentation increases breast projection, breast fullness, and breast symmetry using silicone implants or saline implants. Silicone implants contain cohesive silicone gel that mimics natural breast tissue, while saline implants contain sterile saline solution that allows adjustable implant volume. Breast implants are available in different Sizes, Profiles, Shapes and Projection levels. Plastic surgeons customize implant selection according to chest dimensions, tissue thickness, body proportions, and desired breast contours.

Fat Transfer Surgery

Fat transfer breast augmentation increases breast volume using purified fat harvested through liposuction. Surgeons remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks before injecting purified fat cells into the breasts. Fat transfer breast augmentation suits patients seeking Subtle breast enhancement, Natural breast contours, Implant-free breast augmentation or Combined body contouring and breast reshaping. Fat transfer produces modest breast enlargement while maintaining soft and natural breast contours.

How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Executed?

Breast augmentation surgery follows structured surgical stages that improve implant positioning accuracy, breast symmetry, and patient safety under strict DHA surgical protocols.

Anesthesia: Board-certified anesthesiologists administer general anesthesia to maintain patient comfort throughout breast augmentation surgery.
Incision:Plastic surgeons create small surgical incisions based on implant type, breast anatomy, and surgical goals. Common incision locations include Inframammary incision beneath the breast fold, Periareolar incision around the areola, Transaxillary incision within the armpit. Each incision technique supports different scar placement and implant positioning approaches.
Implant Placement or Fat Injection: Plastic surgeons position breast implants either beneath the chest muscle or behind the breast tissue to improve breast projection and contour balance. During fat transfer breast augmentation, surgeons inject purified fat cells into multiple breast layers to improve fat survival and contour uniformity.

Trusted Voices, Proven Service

I've been coming to The Nova Clinic Al Wasl Branch for laser hair removal and really happy with the results I'm getting. Shoutout to Dr. Saima, she's so sweet, very detailed and professional when it comes to explaining the procedures and whats best for me, and a shoutout to her nurse Rachel too. The only thing is that sometimes it's quite difficult to change or book appointments if I want to book something soon, which makes me have to wait a long time. However overall, I would definitely recommend this clinic to others!

Fatma Hassan
It is always lovely to visit The Nova clinic on Al Wasl rd. the staff are all super nice and helpful. Jessica did my facial today. She is very professional and walked me through what would happen and how long it would last. During the treatment she talked about what she was applying and how it would affect my skin . Over all a great experience and I would definitely recommend Jessica and the Nova Clinic.

Lisa Hamilton
It was my first time at the Nova clinic and I was pleasantly impressed. A very beautiful, spacious and clean place with excellent service and professional specialists. I came for a procedure with cosmetologist Natalya and she selected a treatment for me based on my skin type and according to my recommendations, we did peeling and lifting of the lower part of the face, everything went as comfortable and pleasant as possible) After the procedure, my face was shining and looked very fresh, and after a few days I began to receive a million compliments that I began to look much better and that something had changed noticeably, this cannot please me either when in the morning I saw an even tone and a toned face. In general, I am very pleased and recommend Natalia as a specialist in caring for your face.

Diana Gorbacheva
I did an enzyme facial last week at NOVA clinic, It was amazing,Christine was amazing and very gentle and the atmosphere of the room is very relaxing. The facial was kind of uncomfortable because it stings BUT after the results of the facial after 2 days i forgot about the unpleasant itches during the facial. Everyone told me im glowing which is why im going to do the facial again very soon! Plus it seemed like it reduced visible fine lines/wrinkles. I highly recommend this facial and clinic, as it's very clean and welcoming.

She creates really natural, beautiful brows. I highly recommend her!
