How long does breast augmentation surgery take?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase and enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast. There are a large number of options with breast augmentation including implant choice and surgical techniques. Dr Doyle will discuss these with you depending on the result you are looking to achieve. It typically takes under 1 hour. The location of the incisions depends on your anatomy, goals, and the type of implant you choose. At Gold Coast Plastic Surgery we make every effort to ensure that your incisions are as small as possible.
How is breast augmentation done?
During breast augmentation, space (or pocket) is created under the breast. The implant is then placed behind or in front of the chest muscle, depending on the look you want to achieve. Most patients receive dissolvable stitches and the surgery is usually done as a day surgery procedure.
The following steps outline the stages of the procedure itself:
Step 1 - Anaesthesia
Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anaesthesia. Dr Mark Doyle will recommend the best choice for you.

Step 4 - Closing the incisions
Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue. Over time the incision lines will fade. The quality of scar depends on many things, including your genetics, exposure of your body to nicotine and infection.
