Breast Augmentation

At Prof Chrysis Sofianos Plastic Surgery Johannesburg, we specialise in breast augmentation, a procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. Whether you’re seeking a subtle enhancement or a dramatic transformation, our advanced techniques and use of premium materials, such as Motiva Implants, ensure stunning, natural-looking results tailored to your unique goals.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that uses implants or fat transfer to increase breast size, improve shape, and restore volume lost due to weight changes, ageing, or pregnancy. This transformative surgery helps:

  • Enhance overall body proportions.
  • Boost self-confidence and body image.
  • Restore breast volume and symmetry.

Why Choose Motiva Implants?

At our practice, we exclusively use Motiva Implants, a globally trusted brand known for its innovation and safety. Motiva Implants are designed with advanced technology to deliver natural-looking results while prioritising patient safety and comfort.

Benefits of Motiva Implants:

  • Natural Feel and Appearance: Motiva Implants mimic the look and feel of natural breast tissue.
  • Safety Features: Equipped with a BluSeal® indicator for enhanced safety and reduced risk of complications.
  • Durability and Longevity: High-quality materials ensure long-lasting results.
  • Ergonomic Design: Adjusts naturally to body movements, providing a more realistic outcome.
  • Reduced Risk of Complications: Innovative shell design minimises the risk of capsular contracture and rupture.

Motiva Joy Procedure and Fat Transfer Combination

The Motiva Joy procedure combines Motiva Implants with cutting-edge techniques to create a less invasive, faster-healing breast augmentation experience. This method involves smaller incisions, reduced downtime, and optimised outcomes, making it a popular choice for patients seeking natural results with minimal disruption to their daily lives.

In some cases, fat transfer can be combined with implants to enhance results further. Fat is harvested from other areas of the body through liposuction, purified, and strategically injected into the breasts. This technique provides additional volume, improves cleavage, and creates a smoother, more natural contour.

Benefits of combining fat transfer with implants:

  • Enhanced upper pole fullness and cleavage.
  • Customised shaping for a more personalised outcome.
  • Natural feel and texture for added softness.

Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation

Prof Chrysis Sofianos employs the Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation technique, an advanced approach designed to minimise downtime and optimise healing. This method focuses on precise surgical techniques and meticulous care to reduce post-operative discomfort, swelling, and bruising.

Key benefits of Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation:

  • Return to daily activities within 24–48 hours for most patients.
  • Reduced need for pain medication.
  • Minimal swelling and faster healing.
  • Enhanced patient comfort and satisfaction.
