About This Treatment

Breast augmentation in China is performed by highly trained plastic surgeons using FDA-approved silicone or saline implants from brands like Mentor and Motiva. Leading cosmetic surgery hospitals in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou offer comprehensive packages including 3D simulation, surgery, and post-operative care. China's competitive pricing makes premium breast augmentation accessible without compromising on safety or quality.

Procedure Steps
1

Consultation & 3D Simulation

Comprehensive consultation with 3D imaging to visualize potential results. The surgeon discusses implant types, sizes, profiles, and incision placement options tailored to body proportions.

Duration: 1-2 hours
2

Pre-Operative Assessment

Complete blood work, chest X-ray, and breast ultrasound or mammogram. Medical history review and anesthesia consultation ensure patient safety.

Duration: Half day
3

Augmentation Surgery

Under general anesthesia, the surgeon places implants through a carefully planned incision (inframammary, periareolar, or axillary). The procedure uses a dual-plane or subfascial technique for natural-looking results.

Duration: 1.5-2.5 hours
4

Post-Operative Care

Overnight hospital stay with pain management. Support garments are fitted. Follow-up visits at day 3 and day 7 for wound care and drain removal if needed.

Duration: 5-7 days in China
