Subfascial Breast Augmentation

Plastic Surgery in Aberdeen
Natural breast augmentation without the downtime associated with submuscular implants.

Experts in Plastic Surgery

At Profile Aesthetic, we understand the importance of natural breast augmentation results. That's why we offer subfascial breast augmentation, a technique that not many plastic surgeons are able to offer. This technique is suitable for most women seeking to enhance the size and shape of their breasts, but it is particularly suited to slim, athletic women who are looking for natural results without the downtime associated with submuscular implants.

Why Choose Subfascial Breast Augmentation in Aberdeen?

Subfascial breast augmentation is a surgical technique that involves placing breast implants under the fascia, a strong layer of tissue that covers the chest muscles. This approach is different from submuscular breast augmentation, which involves placing implants under the chest muscles. Subfascial breast augmentation has several benefits over submuscular placement. First, it can result in a more natural-looking breast shape, especially for women with little existing breast tissue. Second, because the implants are placed above the muscles, recovery time is often shorter and less painful than with submuscular placement.

Motiva JOY Programme

At Profile Aesthetic, we are partners with Motiva to provide breast augmentation with the JOY programme. This programme includes extended warranty and other benefits to ensure that our patients receive the highest level of care and support throughout their breast augmentation journey.

The Procedure

Subfascial augmentation is performed under local anaesthetic and sedation. General anaesthetic is not required.

Prior to the procedure, your surgeon will measure your chest and use a pen to mark some guidelines on your skin.

Subfascial implants are inserted via a small inframammary incision. This is usually 2-3cm in length, in the crease beneath your breast.

Following the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room where your post-surgical bra will be fitted. You will recover for a short time until you are able to go home.

We perform all breast augmentation surgery without drains, which reduces discomfort and speeds up recovery.

The Benefits

Breast augmentation with subfascial implants can provide several benefits, including increased breast volume and improved breast shape and symmetry. For the right patient, subfascial augmentation can produce very natural results without disruption of the chest muscles and is very popular among athletic patients. Overall, breast augmentation can enhance your overall body contour, boost your self-esteem, and allow you to feel more comfortable and confident in your appearance. The procedure offers long-lasting results, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your enhanced breasts for years to come.

Recovery

Following breast augmentation with implants, you will experience some initial discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to help manage your recovery effectively. You will be advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a few weeks. It's important to attend follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and address any concerns. Recovery time after subfascial breast augmentation is often shorter than with submuscular implants. Most patients are able to return to normal activities within one to two weeks, with minimal pain and discomfort. Swelling is also typically less severe with subfascial breast augmentation compared to submuscular implants.
