Preparation & implant planning

Medical screening

• Breast ultrasound and mammogram — to rule out nodules, hyperplasia, cysts and breast disease;
• Blood count, clotting profile, infectious-disease panel, ECG, chest X-ray — to confirm there are no surgical contraindications;
• Stop aspirin, warfarin and blood-activating supplements at least 2 weeks before;
• Surgery is scheduled outside menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Measurement and implant design

Your surgeon measures:

• chest width, breast base diameter, nipple spacing, skin laxity

and selects the matching implant shape (round / teardrop) and volume, then marks the dissection extent, the dual-plane release boundary and the incision site. Nothing proceeds until you have confirmed the plan.

Lifestyle preparation

• No smoking or alcohol for 1 week before; avoid late nights;
• Shower and clean the armpit and chest area before surgery; no jewellery;
• Nothing to eat or drink for 6 hours before;
• Have a post-surgical compression bra and loose front-opening clothes ready.

Setting expectations

The signature of dual-plane augmentation is a natural look with natural movement. Early on there is swelling and the breast feels firm — that is the normal course, and feel softens progressively as the capsule matures over 3–6 months. Judge the result at maturity, not in week one; your individual plan and expectations are set at the consultation.

On the clinic's side (for transparency)

• Endoscope system, ultrasonic scalpel and instruments sterilized and calibrated; implants heat-sterilized; haemostatic materials and suction drainage prepared;
• Anaesthesia is general, with controlled blood-pressure lowering during surgery to reduce bleeding;
• Prophylactic antibiotics are given before surgery to reduce infection risk.
