Call it the Kardashian effect. Today, everyone is talking about buttock lifts, injectables, implants, and, of course, dermal fillers and Botox. There is also a lot of talk about nonsurgical fat-reduction treatments. But, in an age when sharing personal cosmetic treatments has become the norm, why isn’t anyone openly discussing breast augmentation?
Though doctors are seeing an increase in patient requests for noninvasive aesthetic procedures, breast augmentations remain one of the most popular surgical procedures. The Plastic Surgeons reported that more than a quarter million breast augmentation surgeries were performed last year. That number has increased by nearly 40% since 2001, indicating that women continue to seek larger breasts. At the same time, we’ve noticed an increase in women requesting smaller implant sizes (more C-cups than DD-cups). In Dubai, medium to full-size B cups are also becoming popular. The desire for a more natural appearance is undoubtedly driving this shift in preferences. At Aristocrat Plastic, more young women are requesting subtle, rather than obvious, changes to their breast size. New technology is also aiding in this transition. Today, patients can choose from a variety of implant types. One of the most promising new types of implants, gel implants, are discussed below.

The Gummy Bear Revolution
“Gummy bear” implants mark a significant advancement in silicone implant technology. While the technology has been around for about three decades, this type of implant represents a recent revolution in Dubai. It has only been available here for the past five years. To get an idea of what “gummy bear” implants are like, imagine an implant filled with a cohesive silicone gel that would retain its shape if cut in half.
How is that possible? To put it simply, the silicone inside the implant contains more crosslinking. It retains its shape better and does not wrinkle or ripple as much, adding volume near the cleavage. If the implant ruptured or leaked, the gel would not get into the body.
That last bit is critical because ruptured or leaking implants can lead to complications that necessitate additional surgery. That is why doctors used to recommend replacing your implants once every ten years. The new cohesive gel implants have a rupture rate of 2.7% over nine years, significantly reducing the need for replacement. The gel is typically soft and smooth to the touch, but some implant manufacturers make it stiffer than others. To get a full picture of what gel implants are like, you should schedule a consultation and handle them in person.
Quick Recovery
While breast augmentation is considered a major surgery, under-the-muscle breast augmentation is less invasive and does not necessitate a lengthy recovery period. An experienced plastic surgeon can create an extremely precise breast pocket for the implant, significantly reducing post-surgical bruising, bleeding, pain, and inflammation. Furthermore, under-the-muscle placement typically produces more natural results, especially when working with gel implants.
Following under-the-muscle breast augmentation, many patients report a reduction in their need for opioid painkillers. They also typically have less scarring after healing and rarely require revision surgery. As a result, we strongly recommend under-the-muscle breast augmentation for the vast majority of our patients. There are a few exceptions. Women with a lot of breast tissue may see better results with over-the-muscle implants, for example.
To Lift Or Not To Lift, That Is The Question
For the majority of patients, planning breast augmentation surgery is straightforward. However, if you are over 41, have had multiple pregnancies, or have lost a significant amount of weight, you should also consider a breast lift.
If a patient has minimal breast sagging and excess (but high-quality) skin, implants can provide the necessary lift without the need for additional surgery. This is especially true when the implants are placed below the muscle. If the patient has minimal sagging, placing the implant beneath the breast will produce perky, natural, and firm results.
If the patient has poor skin quality, stretch marks, excessive sagging skin, low-resting nipples, or there appears to be a disengagement between the skin, gland, and chest wall, a lift is required to achieve the best cosmetic result. While the majority of these women are older, some young women also fall into these categories. As previously stated, if you have had multiple pregnancies, the repeated expansion and contraction of the breast tissue has most likely resulted in loose skin, stretch marks, and breast volume loss. Women under 41 who have lost a significant amount of weight frequently complain about flat, drooping breasts. If you’ve struggled with obesity in the past, you’ll almost certainly need a breast lift and implants.
Mastopexy incisions vary depending on several factors. To achieve the best breast augmentation results, it is critical to have a thorough discussion about incisions during your consultation. Understanding the relationship between the skin, breast glands, muscles, implants, and chest wall is essential.
Some surgeons avoid combining breast lift and augmentation surgery due to the increased complexity, but in the long run, mastopexy augmentation is less stressful and more cost-effective. Combining breast lift and breast augmentation into a single procedure makes things easier for the patient and increases the likelihood of a successful outcome.
It is critical to understand that combined lift and augmentation surgery should be performed by a skilled, experienced surgeon. While combined lift and augmentation surgery has numerous advantages for the patient, it presents more challenges for the cosmetic surgeon. Lift and augmentation surgery requires extensive knowledge to be performed correctly; otherwise, complications may occur during the healing process.
Combination Of Lift And Augmentation Is Just As Safe As Single Surgery
No surgery is risk-free. Having said that, combining breast augmentation with a breast lift can be as safe as a single-procedure surgery, according to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Furthermore, in addition to being able to address the aforementioned aesthetic issues, augmentation-mastopexy surgery provides a number of distinct advantages. Combining these breast surgeries has numerous cosmetic and reconstructive benefits:
- There is less scarring.
- There is less removal of skin.
- The implant fills out the breast and improves its overall appearance, so less lifting is required.
- Combining surgeries costs less than having both surgeries separately.
- Combining surgeries can reduce total recovery time.
According to the study cited by PRS, the risk levels are comparable whether procedures are performed alone or in combination. The study also found that most patients would prefer to have only one surgical procedure whenever possible. After all, each surgery entails some level of inconvenience: Patients must schedule time off work, find a caregiver to assist them during the early stages of recovery, and (if they have children) find someone to assist with childcare duties. Doing all of these things twice instead of once is not only inconvenient, but it also usually results in a number of additional costs.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
If you’ve ever heard someone jokingly say that they wish they could take the excess fat around their waist and transfer it to their breasts, we have some good news for you: this is actually possible thanks to a procedure known as “fat transfer breast augmentation.”
This surgery involves using liposuction to extract fat from one part of the body (the thighs, arms, love handles, or back) and injecting it into the breasts. This procedure is ideal for patients who want only a small increase in breast size. It can smooth out irregularities, improve breast contour, and increase the size of your breasts by utilizing your own natural fat cells. Furthermore, rather than undergoing a revision surgery to replace implants, a fat transfer allows patients who already have implants to increase the size of their breasts. You might call it “augmentation light,” but it is still an augmentation. It is important to note, however, that even if a surgeon only uses local anesthesia to perform fat transfer to the breasts, the procedure is still considered surgical. While fat grafting recovery typically lasts four to six days with minimal soreness and swelling, it is critical to follow your surgeon’s instructions for safe healing.
Fat transfer procedures are popular because they effectively kill two birds with one stone. Removing fat from an area of excess fat contours and shapes the body, allowing the patient to define their shape. Meanwhile, the fat can be reused to give the breasts a completely natural appearance (and feel). This idea provides many women with greater peace of mind. After all, fat grafting carries no risk of allergic reaction, rupture, or implant rejection.
There are some disadvantages to fat transfer, though. One disadvantage is that thirty to fifty percent of the fat grafted does not integrate into the breast, making the procedure’s outcome somewhat unpredictable. Fat cells are surprisingly delicate and easily damaged, and once damaged, the body excretes them, which is why nonsurgical treatments like CoolSculpting work to reduce abdominal fat.
Less Is More
In Dubai, 39,000 women had breast implants removed in 2016. Plastic surgeons expect this trend to continue as hundreds of thousands of women visit breast implant removal forums in the online community.
Women appear to be downsizing or completely removing their implants these days. Of course, many of these women received their implants at a time when society seemed to demand larger breasts and implant technology was primitive. Furthermore, many patients disregard their cosmetic surgeon’s advice and opt for larger implants, even if their frames or existing breast tissue cannot accommodate them. This results in stretched skin and unnatural-looking implants, which patients dislike and have removed. To save time, hassle, and money, we recommend that you follow your surgeon’s instructions. Remember that you can always upgrade to larger implants during a subsequent revision, without stretching your skin or enduring unnatural-looking implants in the meantime.
Explant Patients Cite Implants Wearing Out
The number of implant removals or exchanges was highest among women aged 36 to 51. One factor driving this significant exchange rate is simply “wear and tear.” Unfortunately, older implants tend to wear out faster than modern implants. Lifestyle changes also have an impact. Most older women no longer go to local nightclubs or rush to happy hour after work; instead, they take their children to soccer practice. Very large breasts that are no longer enjoyed in the same way can feel cumbersome, necessitating revision surgery.
Breast implant manufacturers recommended ten-year replacement intervals decades ago. This advisory made sense given the current trend toward larger breasts and the inferior implants of the time. Today, however, implants frequently last far longer than this. As a result, most young women who choose implant explantation are simply looking for a change in appearance or feel.
Natural Look And Active Lifestyle
Today, more women want to strike a balance between having a voluptuous figure and other considerations. While women continue to undergo breast augmentation in large numbers, there is also a strong emphasis on staying healthy and active. As a result, many women opt for more modest implants to avoid limiting their ability to exercise. While it is possible to remain in shape after receiving large implants, there is no denying that heavy breasts make high-impact exercise more difficult.
Breast augmentation has always been popular, and most cosmetic surgeons predict that this trend will continue, regardless of societal preferences. Women will always want to boost their self-esteem, improve their figures and proportions, and enhance their body image.
