At AJ Plastic Surgery Centre, we understand that breast augmentation is about more than just size—it’s about balance, confidence, and self-expression.
For women in Nairobi and across Kenya, choosing the right implant is a big part of that journey. With so many options available today, knowing what’s best for your body, lifestyle, and long-term goals requires guidance from a trusted expert.
Here’s how we help our patients choose the right breast implants with clarity, safety, and satisfaction in mind.
Start with your goals and expectations
When you come in for a consultation, we start with a conversation—not measurements. We want to understand why you’re considering breast augmentation and what you hope to achieve.
Whether you’re looking to restore volume after weight loss or breastfeeding, achieve better symmetry, or simply enhance your natural shape, your goals shape our entire approach.
Our team then builds a personalised plan around your body type, skin elasticity, existing breast tissue, and aesthetic preferences.
Understanding your implant options
We offer two primary types of implants: saline and silicone. Both have their advantages, and our job is to help you make an informed choice.
Silicone implants
Silicone implants are the most popular choice at our Nairobi clinic. They offer a natural look and feel, especially for women with less existing breast tissue.
They also come in a range of shapes and projections, giving you more control over your final silhouette.
Saline implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and can be adjusted in volume during surgery. While they feel slightly firmer, they’re still a great option for certain body types and preferences. In the rare case of a rupture, the body absorbs the saline harmlessly.
During your consultation, we’ll show you sample implants and help you see and feel the difference for yourself.
Choosing the right size and shape
Size is important—but proportion is everything. At AJ Plastic Surgery Centre, we focus on results that complement your frame, enhance symmetry, and look naturally beautiful.
We often guide patients through 3D simulation tools and visual references to help envision how different sizes will look on their body.
We also discuss implant shape:
- Round implants offer fullness at the top and are ideal for those wanting a more pronounced enhancement.
- Teardrop-shaped implants (anatomical implants) mimic the natural slope of the breast and are often used when a subtler, more natural look is preferred.
We’ll also help you decide on implant profile (how far the implant projects from the chest wall), which can dramatically influence your final result.
Placement and incision decisions
Another key part of your implant journey involves deciding where the implant will be placed—either under the breast tissue (subglandular) or under the chest muscle (submuscular).
Each has pros and cons, and the best option depends on your anatomy, lifestyle, and the outcome you desire.
We also carefully discuss incision options and scarring. Whether placed in the fold under the breast or around the areola, we use precise, minimally invasive techniques to keep scars as discreet as possible.
Safety is never compromised
As one of the most experienced clinics offering breast augmentation in Nairobi, we follow strict international surgical protocols. All our procedures are performed in fully accredited operating theatres by board-certified plastic surgeons.
We also conduct detailed medical assessments beforehand and offer personalised aftercare to promote smooth recovery and long-term satisfaction.
For patients with medical concerns, such as tuberous breasts or prior surgeries, we offer advanced procedures including breast revision surgery and combination treatments like augmentation with a lift.
What about recovery and long-term results?
Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities within one to two weeks.
We’ll provide a full recovery plan, including medication, follow-up appointments, and garment recommendations. With proper care, breast implants can last many years.
To support your long-term results, we advise regular check-ups and are always available to answer any questions after surgery.
