What Is Augmentation?
Augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases volume and enhances the shape of mammary glands. Augmentation is also referred to as ‘Augmentation mammoplasty.’ Augmentation surgery is the most popular procedure globally, with approximately 1.700.000 procedures performed each year. One of the most significant advantages of augmentation is its completely customisable procedure with different implant brands, sizes, shapes, profiles, and textures to choose from.
Women who have had these procedures report increased self-confidence and improved physical appearance in proportion to the rest of their bodies

On Hybrid Augmentation
Hybrid augmentation is a mammary gland enlargement procedure using both implants and fat obtained through liposuction.
Hybrid augmentation is hugely beneficial for women with asymmetric, thin mammary glands or chest wall deformities such as prominent sternum. Anatomically, the mammary glands are in front of the chest wall muscles. So adding fat under the skin and using implants above the muscle allows the surgeon to deliver a safe augmentation surgery that prevents long-term issues. Such issues with animation and unnatural appearance on the movement of muscles may happen if implants are placed under the chest wall muscles.
It is my opinion that whenever possible, primary augmentation should be performed in front of the pectoral muscles with or without fat grafting, depending on the patient’s requirements. Sub-pectoral or dual plane augmentation (behind the muscle) should be used for secondary and reconstructive mammoplasty procedures. It should have little or no place in primary mammary gland augmentation given the current advancement in hybrid techniques and 6th generation implants.
Advantages of Hybrid Augmentation
The reason for adding fat to an implant in an augmentation procedure is to soften the edges around the implant to give the mammary gland a more natural look.
One can use small implants in this procedure, hence potentially reducing long-term issues with large implants.
Another advantage of hybrid augmentation is that it gives the surgeon a chance to sculpt the shape that cannot happen with implants alone.
A round ergonomic implant is usually combined with the fat transfer procedure to create a more natural shape, increased projection, and volume in the upper pole.
Hybrid surgery carefully preserves strength and muscle function and delivers outcomes that are not possible with either individual technique of implants or fat grafting.
It also has the advantage of removing unwanted fat from the body using liposuction.
Hybrid techniques increase the price tag of the augmentation procedure as compared to implants alone. In addition, patients have to be counselled appropriately, and each treatment has to be individualised.
Implants-Based Augmentation
Implants are prosthetic packets used to enlarge and improve the size and shape of the mammary glands. Dr Adnan uses Motiva Ergonomix implants because they adapt, like natural tissue, to gravitational changes and different positions. Hence they give the most natural ‘look and feel’ after the augmentation process with implants, making this an attractive option.
Being one of the best augmentation surgeons in Dubai, Dr Adnan uses virtual reality software called Crisalix to create your augmented model based on your mammary gland tissue characteristics and measurements during your consultation.
Dr Adnan will personalise your treatment plan and discuss the risks and side effects associated with implants and the procedure.
Augmentation with Fat Transfer
Fat transfer or autologous fat grafting is an alternative way to increase the volume of the mammary glands using your unwanted body fat.
This surgical procedure involves liposuction to remove fat cells from the tummy, hips, thighs, and other fat-abundant body areas and then use them for augmentation purposes.
Fat transfer can look more natural than implants in selected patients with no surgical scar. However, autologous fat grafting is only suitable for candidates who wish to increase volume and are happy with the existing shape of their mammary glands. This procedure has little impact on the shape and projection and does not lift saggy mammary glands.
Natural augmentation with fat transfer is the perfect procedure for women who wish to have larger and fuller mammary glands without having implants. It is also a very common technique for reconstruction cases following a mastectomy, correcting genetic deformities, or improving the appearance of tuberous mammary glands and Poland Syndrome.
Fat transfer augmentation, also known as natural augmentation or scarless augmentation, is performed in women who want to use their natural fat cells to achieve fuller mammary glands without worrying about revision surgeries or getting implant removal procedures in the future.
Suitable Candidates for Augmentation
Only a qualified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in augmentation or mammoplasty surgeries, such as Dr Adnan Tahir, can determine whether or not you are a good candidate for surgery.
SUITABLE CANDIDATES FOR AUGMENTATION SURGERY USUALLY MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:
- They have mammary glands that are "empty" or sagging (usually due to pregnancy, lactating, ageing, and weight fluctuation)
- They wish to improve the shape of the and make their cleavage more visible.
- They have asymmetric mammary glands that must be corrected.
- They are physically and mentally fit to make this decision
- They have their expectations in check (looking for improvements but not perfection)
- They are not expecting a child or lactating (you should wait at least three months after stopping lactating for the surgery).
Implant Size
One of the most common concerns among augmentation patients is implant size. But there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. “CC’s” – Cubic Centimetres – are used to measure implant sizes. Implants range in size from 100 CC to 800 CC, but the most common sizes are 300 and 400 CC. The following size ranges can be considered in general:
- SMALL SIZE: 200 CC OR BELOW
- MEDIUM SIZE: 250 CC TO 350 CC
- BIG SIZE STARTING AT 400 CC
You will need to tell Dr Adnan or any Mammoplasty surgeon what look you want to achieve to find the right implant size for you. To determine a range of implant sizes that would achieve a proportionate improvement while reducing the risk of complications, in the long run, measurements such as your height, weight, shoulder, and ribcage width must be taken into account.
Implants that are too large will suggest obvious surgical modification (fake look). In contrast, implants that are too small will not affect the mammary glands’ size and body contour, making the change ineffective.
Implant Shapes
Implant shape is also a major factor to consider if you’ve decided to get an augmentation. There are two distinct forms:
ROUND SHAPE :
The round shape was the first implant to hit the market, and it remains the most popular. Round implants will give your mammary glands a fuller appearance at the top, making them a great choice for women who want a more pronounced cleavage or have a firm lift and want a perky look. Round implants are available in a variety of projections, ranging from low to high.
TEARDROP SHAPE
IMPLANTS
IMPLANTS
Teardrop-shaped implants give your mammary glands a more natural appearance. The bottom is fuller than the top in this shape, but that doesn't mean there won't be cleavage; it just means the fulness is concentrated more at the bottom.
ERGONOMIC IMPLANTS
An ergonomic implant has a free shape that mimics the dynamics of natural mammary glands. These advanced Implants are designed with round or oval bases to suit a variety of thorax shapes naturally. Dr Adnan prefers the Motiva Ergonomix® implant which is the world’s first ergonomic silicone implant with a wide range of advantages over other implant shapes.
Placement of Implants
Implants will be placed in the previously chosen position after the incisions have been made. There are three different types of implant placement, and there is no right or wrong option – all of them are safe and reliable, and Dr Adnan will recommend the best implant placement approach for your specific case based on your body type, implant size, and chest characteristics:
SUBGLANDULAR (OVER THE MUSCLE).
The implant is placed between the mammary gland tissue and the muscle. This technique is considered less invasive than the submuscular technique, with a faster and more comfortable recovery.
SUBMUSCULAR (BEHIND THE MUSCLE).
Under the pectoral muscle, implants are placed. This method usually produces more natural results, especially in very thin patients or those with very little mammary gland tissue because the implant is covered by natural body tissues. Submuscular implant placement also improves implant support while lowering the risk of capsular contracture.
DUAL PLANE:
It is the most advanced implant placement technique, in which a pocket is created beneath the pectoral muscle, a muscle that protrudes from the chest wall, to accommodate the implant. As a result, a two-plane dissection is left, with two-thirds of the implant under the muscle and the lower third in the Sub glandular plane. This technique provides a very realistic appearance and feel, as well as excellent muscular support and fulness.
Augmentation Recovery and Downtime
Here’s everything you need to know about the recovery process for augmentation, including how you’ll feel, what to expect, and how to care for your newly placed implants. Each patient is unique, and each patient’s recovery will be unique as well.
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE SURGERY:
You may feel sleepy and tired for a while after waking up from general anaesthesia. You will stay at the clinic for one night and then return home the next day. You will not be able to drive, so make the necessary arrangements by asking a family member or friend.
THE FIRST THREE DAYS:
The first three days after surgery are the most difficult, and you may feel discomfort, pain, and pressure in your chest area. Take medication as directed by your surgeon to help you feel more at ease during your recovery.
Some patients will require rest during this time, while others can engage in simple activities such as walking or preparing simple meals at home.
At this point, lymphatic drainage massages may be required to reduce oedema and speed recovery.
AFTER THE FIRST WEEK:
After the first week, you will be able to resume many of your daily activities, such as driving, light housecleaning, self-care, and simple chores.
The implants begin to settle into place after the first week, so take it easy and avoid strenuous activities, especially those that affect your arms and chest.
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK AND THE GYM AFTER 2 WEEKS (START WITH LIGHT EXERCISES).
AFTER 4 WEEKS:
After four weeks, you can start doing heavy exercises). If you are healing as expected, you can also go to the beach (avoid direct sun exposure to the scar area).
After a month, you will be completely clear and ready to begin your “new life.” You may wear your new bras, which include an underwire option, and you may engage in regular activities.
What To Expect from Augmentation Surgery?
You can expect larger, fuller, and perkier mammary glands if you are a good candidate for augmentation surgery.
However, it’s important to note that surgery will not alter your mammary glands’ natural characteristics, such as shape, areola, or nipples.
Additional surgery techniques may be combined with an augmentation procedure in some cases to achieve the best results.
Being the best plastic surgeon in Dubai for augmentation procedures, Dr Adnan Tahir will take note of your natural mammary gland characteristics during your consultation and recommend the best surgical plan for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Augmentation
In general, anyone who is 18+ years of age and in good health with no serious ongoing medical conditions is suitable for this procedure. Augmentation procedure is ideal for women who want to increase their mammary glands’ volume and cup size, correct asymmetry, address congenital conditions such as constricted mammary gland deformity, and reconstructive procedures following mastectomy.
A small degree of ptosis or sagginess may be improved with the augmentation process. Still, usually, this requires an augmenting procedure called ‘Mastopexy’ with or without implants or fat grafting.
Every surgical procedure has advantages, disadvantages, and risks. No surgical procedure is 100% safe. The important thing is to educate yourself as much as possible before the procedure to anticipate post-op recovery and outcome. All mammoplasty surgeons, including Dr Adnan, provide detailed written information during the initial consultation to help in this regard. You should always choose a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in performing augmentation surgery to ensure the best possible results.
Augmentation is performed under general anaesthesia. Patients may experience mild discomfort after the surgery that is treated with analgesics.
