Frequently asked questions

Which implants does VIEW use?

VIEW uses approved implants such as Motiva, Mentor and Sebbin, matching shape and size to tissue thickness, chest width and lifestyle. The hospital received the Motiva Grand Award in 2020 and 2021.

How long is breast augmentation recovery?

Most people return to light daily life in about a week, but heavy lifting and strenuous exercise are restricted for 4–6 weeks. Swelling and bruising settle noticeably after 1–2 months.

Where is the incision?

The incision is usually in the inframammary fold or around the areola, both well hidden once healed. The exact site depends on the existing breast shape, implant size and surgical plan.
