Thinking about breast augmentation but unsure what βabove the muscleβ vs βbelow the muscleβ actually means? π€
In this video, Dr Tjasink talks us through the difference between implant placement options and how the right choice depends on your body, lifestyle, natural breast tissue, and desired result.
β¨ Above the muscle:
β’ Often allows for a quicker recovery
β’ Can create a fuller, more defined look
β’ Best suited for patients with enough natural breast tissue coverage
β¨ Below the muscle:
β’ Offers extra implant coverage
β’ Can create a softer, more natural transition
β’ May be recommended for leaner patients with less natural tissue
There is no one-size-fits-all approach every surgical plan is tailored specifically to you and your anatomy to achieve the most beautiful, balanced result possible π

Every detail matters in theatre and it starts long before the first incision π©Ίβ¨
Proper surgical scrubbing is one of the most important steps before any procedure, helping to reduce bacteria on the skin and maintain a sterile environment for patient safety. From the technique to the timing, every movement is intentional and part of the standard of care inside theatre.
Today, medical student Dr. Simbarashe Wazara takes us behind the scenes as he prepares for surgery, learning the importance of precision, discipline, and sterile protocol firsthand ππΌ
Because in surgery, excellence starts with preparation.

FAT GRAFTING TO THE BREASTS πβ¨
What is fat grafting to the breasts?
Fat grafting is a procedure that uses your own body fat to naturally enhance the shape and volume of the breasts.
Where does the fat come from? π«
The fat is usually removed through liposuction from areas such as the tummy, thighs, flanks, or back meaning you benefit from body contouring at the same time.
How is the fat transferred? π«
Once the fat is purified, it is carefully injected into the breasts to create soft, natural-looking enhancement and improved symmetry.
What results can I expect? π«
Fat grafting is best for patients wanting a subtle increase in size with a natural feel and appearance. It can also help restore fullness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
Is the result permanent? π«
A portion of the transferred fat naturally absorbs during healing, while the remaining fat becomes a lasting part of the breast tissue.
What is recovery like? π«
Some swelling, bruising, and tenderness are normal in both the liposuction and breast areas. Most patients return to light daily activities within a few days, with healing continuing over the following weeks and months.
Is fat grafting safe? π«
When performed by an experienced surgical team using the correct techniques, fat grafting to the breasts is considered a safe and advanced procedure.
Who is a good candidate? π«
Patients looking for natural enhancement with enough excess fat available for transfer are often ideal candidates.

π FAQ: How long do breast implants last?
It is one of the most common questions we receive β and an important one. β¨
Modern implants are engineered for longevity, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Most patients can expect their implants to last anywhere from 10 to 20+ years, though this varies from person to person based on individual factors.
As the body naturally evolves over time, so too may your aesthetic goals or clinical needs. Revision or replacement may be considered in the following circumstances:
πΉ Natural ageing and changes to the body
πΉ A shift in personal aesthetic preferences
πΉ Findings identified through routine monitoring
πΉ Rare complications or gradual changes to the implant over time
Regular follow-up care and open communication with your surgeon are key to ensuring the best long-term outcomes. π©Ί

Considering a breast lift? Hereβs what you need to know β¨
A mastopexy (breast lift) is designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful contour and position.
π Will there be scars?
Yes, scarring is a natural part of the procedure, but fades over time with proper care.
π How long is recovery?
Most patients return to light activities within 2β4 weeks.
π Can I breastfeed after?
It may still be possible, but it isnβt guaranteed.
π Will it increase my size?
A lift reshapes rather than enlarges however, it can be combined with implants for added volume.

A transformation rooted in both comfort and confidence β¨
This 41-year-old mom, after breastfeeding her child, felt ready to reclaim her body. With G cup breasts that impacted her daily comfort, she chose to undergo a breast reduction prioritizing both physical relief and a more balanced silhouette.
Now beautifully reduced to a small D cup, her result reflects lighter movement, improved proportion, and a renewed sense of ease in her everyday life.
