Breast augmentation adds volume and refines shape with an implant, chosen to your anatomy. Dr Thomas Colson uses Mentor and Motiva implants at SKMC, places them dual-plane or retroglandular by soft-tissue cover, and often combines them with your own fat for a natural, made-to-measure result.
Breast augmentation adds volume and reshapes the breast using an implant. Dr Thomas Colson uses Mentor and Motiva implants, smooth or nano-textured, and plans volume, projection and position with a Crisalix 3D simulation at the consultation.
The implant pocket is chosen from the soft-tissue cover: a dual-plane pocket when the pinch test is under ~3 cm, or a retroglandular (prepectoral) pocket when it is over ~3 cm — unless the patient prefers otherwise. Three incisions are available: inframammary, periareolar and transaxillary.
For small frames, Dr Colson favours modest volumes (often under 300 cc) for a natural result. In most patients he combines the implant with the patient's own fat — a composite (hybrid) augmentation — to refine shape and correct natural asymmetry that an implant alone cannot.
Placed before surgery, it reduces the strong painkillers needed afterwards and supports a faster, more comfortable recovery. Surgery is ambulatory (day-case) at SKMC.
The implant is introduced with a Keller Funnel no-touch technique, limiting skin contact and helping reduce the risk of contamination.
In line with UAE Department of Health guidelines on modesty and medical advertising, breast surgical results are not published online. Outcomes relevant to your own anatomy are reviewed privately during your consultation, alongside a Crisalix 3D simulation of your planned result.
Consultations and surgery with Dr Thomas Colson are performed exclusively at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC) in Abu Dhabi, within the SEHA network. A pre-operative Crisalix 3D simulation lets patients preview the planned breast shape before deciding.
