Breast surgery
Breast augmentation
Epic selects implant size and shape from body proportion, chest width and existing tissue, so the result looks and feels natural in shape, texture and movement — not simply bigger.
Who it suits
- Small breasts or a shape out of proportion with the body
- Noticeable asymmetry between the two sides
- Volume loss after childbirth or weight loss
Technique highlights
- Implant and pocket plane chosen per anatomy
- Focus on natural feel and movement
- No hospital stay required
Surgical steps
- One-to-one consultation and facial analysis with the specialist surgeon before an individual plan is drawn up.
- Anaesthesia: general anaesthesia. The procedure itself takes about 1 hour.
- The board-certified plastic surgeon performs the operation personally throughout.
- Recovery is monitored on site and you go home the same day — no inpatient stay.
Recovery & aftercare
- Sutures and dressings: sutures out in 5-7 days, or none with Dermabond.
- Follow-up visits: 1 visit.
- Back to daily life in 2-3 days. Cold compresses for the first 2-3 days and sleeping with the head elevated reduce swelling.
Risks & things to consider
- Results depend on each patient's anatomy, skin condition and aftercare, so identical outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
- Stop smoking, alcohol and blood-thinning medication before and after surgery as instructed by your doctor.
- Disclose all previous surgery, medical conditions and drug allergies at the consultation.
Frequently asked questions
