Breast Surgery (Augmentation, Reduction & Reconstruction)

Comprehensive breast surgery by consultant plastic surgeon Dr Jonah Kua, including implant-based augmentation, breast reduction, mastopexy (lift), and oncoplastic reconstruction following mastectomy.

Astrid Plastic Surgery offers the full spectrum of breast surgery under the care of Dr Jonah Kua, a consultant plastic surgeon with specialist training in both aesthetic breast procedures and breast reconstruction. Breast augmentation uses silicone or saline implants to increase volume and improve shape, with implant selection (size, profile, texture, placement) guided by the patient's chest measurements, existing breast tissue, and aesthetic goals. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia with incisions typically placed in the inframammary fold, periareolar, or axillary position to minimise visible scarring. Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) addresses macromastia — abnormally large breasts causing chronic neck and back pain, skin irritation, and postural problems — by removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a proportionate, lifted result. This procedure is often Medisave-claimable in Singapore when documented medical need is established. Mastopexy (breast lift) corrects ptosis (sagging) without significant volume change, reshaping the breast envelope and repositioning the nipple-areola complex. Breast reconstruction following mastectomy — whether implant-based or using autologous tissue flaps (such as DIEP or latissimus dorsi) — is a core part of Dr Kua's practice, reflecting his microsurgical expertise. Oncoplastic reconstruction consultations are offered in coordination with the patient's oncology team. All breast procedures are performed at an accredited surgical facility with full anaesthetic support, and recovery is managed with personalised post-operative protocols.
