Mini Breast Implants Sydney

Often the idea of a breast augmentation is associated with breast enhancement with bigger implants and styles.

For petite women with small frames, lean or athletic bodies, or small amounts of breast tissue, the mini Motiva implants offered by Dr Pouria Moradi are perfect.

I use mini implants for patients that want the most subtle augmentation, to create the "has she or hasn't she" look. The mini breast implants are proportionate with the lowest projection and aim to achieve a fully natural aesthetic with small cleavage.

However many women prefer smaller breasts that are between 150cc and 275cc that offer a natural look with a bit of cleavage. These implants are not for everyone, as they may not make a difference for some women.

The entire procedure itself does not change, as you will pick the implant size, type of implant and positioning.

Are the mini breast implants worth it?

Yes, many women with athletic, petite and smaller frames prefer little implants as they still appear natural, flattering, subtle and fit in with their lifestyle.

For women with a small amount of natural breast tissue, the smaller implants are suitable, as you require a larger amount of breast tissue for larger implants. A lack of breast tissue can cause breast implants to ripple, stretch or bottom out.

I often have patients telling me that other surgeons are telling them that mini implants leave the breast looking "pancake" shaped. I couldn't disagree more.

What is a Mini Implant?

This refers to the projection of the implant.
With mini being the lowest projection in the Motiva range
Here are the projection ranges and equivalents for Mentor and Motiva

Lowest Profile : Mini and Moderate
Medium Profile: Demi and Moderate plus
High Profile: Full and High profile
Highest Profile: Corse and Ultra-High Profile

You can get great cleavage with mini implants especially in conjunction with a bra technique.

The internal bra technique is used to create close cleavage when lying on your back.

Types of internal bra:

  • Suture technique: This is where barbed sutures are used to close off and tighten the existing implant pocket. A must in all revision cases.
  • Mesh technique: As you would have seen in my previous posts this is where we use a mesh to act as a hammock for the implant. A must in complex cases and whenever patients want to go to the extra large implants.
  • Muscle technique: This is a technique Dr Moradi invented for all his cases where he raises a composite lateral pec muscle, serratus fascia flap and using cable sutures create a lateral hammock for the implant.

Who should avoid getting breast implants?

Women associated with any of the following are not suitable for breast implants:

  • Suffering from any infection
  • Currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Any existing breast carcinomas
  • Diseases which impact wound healing
  • Tissues which is incompatible with mammoplasty

  • Classified at a surgical risk by a plastic surgeon

What are possible complications of breast implant treatment?

Complications of the surgery can include:

How long is the recovery after breast implant surgery?

The total recovery time depends on the individual's health and body. However, you can expect to be swollen, sensitive and feeling discomfort for about 48 after your surgery. You should also expect to feel tired and tight in the chest for a few days.

You should take at least one week off work and avoid strenuous activities for a couple of weeks after surgery.
