Breast Enlargement or Augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure to increase the size and volume of a woman’s breasts via implants. In addition to elevating cup size and attaining fuller breast appearance, the procedure can also help achieve better breast-to-body proportion, attain symmetry between disproportional breasts, and generally lead to better self-image for women.

Patients undergoing breast enlargement procedure can generally make a choice between two primary types of breast implants: saline-filled and silicone-gel-filled implants. The former features a silicone elastomer shell filled with sterile saline liquid, whilst the latter has a silicone shell filled with a viscous silicone gel.

In addition to types, breast implants also come in two main shapes – Round or Teardrop. The commonly-used Round implants provide greater lift and appearance of fullness, though the results can sometime appear “artificial”. The Teardrop implants, on the other hand, give a gently sloping contour to the breasts, thus achieving a more natural-looking appearance.

At NICANOR, we are known for our exceptional adoption of the Teardrop implant, though we do also provide all other types of breast implants with various options in size, shapes and textures to suit the natural body shapes of our clients.
For patients seeking less invasive form of breast enlargement, NICANOR also provides an alternative form of treatment known as Macrolane, which achieves increase of cup size through injections of stabilised fillers into the breasts. Taking only 30 to 90 minutes to complete, the procedure leaves no scarring, yet provides aesthetic results that can last up to 12 months.
