8 Months Following Breast Augmentation
Surgery: Breast Augmentation (no lift)
Surgeon: Dr Eddie Cheng MED0001399314Implants: 350CC smooth, round, high profile breast implants

Did you know?
➡️ Breast implants are NOT considered lifetime devices — while many last for years, they may require future replacement due to changes in the body or implant condition. ➡️ Dr Cheng suggests that the integrity of Breast implants should be checked every two years via ultrasound scanning.
➡️ Implant profiles (like "high profile") affect projection — a high profile implant offers more forward projection with a narrower base, ideal for certain body shapes.

Breast augmentation is a procedure designed to enhance breast size and shape using implants. Many patients choose this option to restore lost volume, improve symmetry, or achieve a fuller contour that feels more in line with their goals.
