Your Custom Breast Augmentation Surgery Plan
When it comes to aesthetic surgery of any kind, there’s no such thing as one size fits all. Every patient has her own unique surgical needs. Whether you are interested in a subtle natural look or a dramatic bombshell result, your Breast Augmentation will be fully customized according to your existing anatomy, unique surgical requirements, and desired aesthetic results.
Two Types Of Breast Augmentation
You have two different types of Breast Augmentation to choose from.
01. Augmentation With Implants
Breast implants are an excellent choice for a significant increase in breast size (1 to 5 cups).
02. Augmentation Without Implants
Natural Fat Transfer is an excellent option if you’d prefer not to have implants, and you’re interested in a more subtle change in breast size (1 to 1.5 cups). During Natural Fat Transfer surgery, Liposuction is performed to collect fat from other areas of your body to create your new breasts. The most common areas to collect fat from include the abdomen, love handles, and thighs. With Natural Fat Transfer, you also get the added benefits of Body Contouring.
If you choose Natural Fat Transfer, it’s important to note that your body can reabsorb some of your fat so you may lose volume over time. If this occurs, you may need a secondary treatment.
Which Method Is The Most Popular Choice?
Breast Augmentation With Implants is currently the most popular choice at The First Glance Aesthetic Clinic & Surgery Centre.
The top two reasons why most patients choose Breast Augmentation With Implants:
- Implants offer the ability to significantly increase the size of your breasts.
- Implants offer a set volume change that will not decrease over time.
Together, you and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will review all of your options in detail to determine which type of breast augmentation is best for you.
Breast Implants
Implants are a popular choice because they offer more flexibility with the range in size for your augmentation. With implants, you can increase the size of your breasts anywhere from 1 to 5 cup sizes.
At The First Glance, all of our Board Certified Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgeons work with the new generation of Smooth Silicone Gel-Filled Implants, and Structured Saline-Filled Implants created by worldwide leaders in breast aesthetics.
Silicone Gel-Filled
Silicone gel-filled implants are created with a form-stable cohesive gel that will not leak, deflate, or change shape. Silicone is very safe and is the benchmark used for biological compatibility within the human body.
Saline-Filled
Saline-filled implants offer an innovative internal structure designed to control the saline’s movement, which supports the upper pole of the breast for beautiful, natural-looking results.
Your Surgeon will discuss all of your implant options in detail during your initial consultation to determine which type of implant is best for you. Whether you choose Silicone Gel-Filled or Saline-Filled Implants, you can achieve beautiful, natural results.
Implant Incision and Position
Your implants can be inserted through your breast crease (inframammary incision) or below your nipple (peri-areolar incision). To keep your incision lines extremely small, your Plastic Surgeon will use a Keller Funnel to insert your implants. A Keller Funnel decreases the size of incision lines by 40 to 60%.
Additional Procedures
Popular surgeries typically performed with Breast Implants include Breast Lift, Internal Bra, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, or a complete Mommy Makeover.
Choosing Your Surgeon
When considering a surgeon, it’s important to research all of your options and choose a specialist who is Board Certified in both Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. While many plastic surgeons perform Breast Augmentation surgery, you should select a surgeon who focuses strictly on aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery and is recognized for excellence in this procedure.
What are the benefits if your surgeon has a reconstructive surgery background?
Most of the world’s best aesthetic surgeons began with reconstructive practices. In fact, almost all of the groundbreaking techniques in aesthetic surgery have reconstructive origins. Reconstructive surgery cases are typically more complex and often require highly specialized surgical techniques. Comfort, confidence, and predictability with advanced reconstructive surgery techniques have become powerful tools often adapted to aesthetic procedures.
At the First Glance Aesthetic Clinic & Surgery Centre, all of our surgeons are Board Certified Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgeons, which is the highest level of achievement a Plastic Surgeon in Canada can obtain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Recovery Like After Breast Implant Surgery?
After Breast Implant Surgery, you should be up and moving around in a day or two after the effect of anesthesia has worn off. Your Surgeon will be able to prescribe medication to control any discomfort. You will notice swelling and, in some instances, mild bruising. You will see an immediate difference in your breast size, but keep in mind you have swelling that needs to subside before your actual size is evident. You may be required to wear a snug garment or a support bra.
During the first 5 to 10 days bruising and swelling will reach its highest point and begin to subside. You will be allowed to shower and able to return to non-strenuous work. After a few weeks, you may resume vigorous exercise and full range of arm movements. You will experience a significant reduction in swelling and the final results will begin to take shape.
- Plan to take about 5 to 7 days off work for recovery time.
- Every patient heals at her own pace. You may be able to return to work much earlier than others. However, it’s a good idea to have a few extra days booked off work for recovery time.
- The length of time to book off work depends on the type of augmentation you are having and whether your job is physically demanding. Your Surgeon will give you a specific recovery guide at the time of your initial consultation.
- Doctor notes are available and are very confidential. Your doctor’s note will not indicate the type of surgery you are having.
- Restrict strenuous aerobic activities, exercise, and heavy lifting for two weeks following surgery. Avoid physical activities that increase your heart rate and blood pressure or cause your breasts to move significantly.
- Do not massage your breasts for at least one full month after your surgery. Your Surgeon will give you specific post-operative care instructions.
- Your recovery time and post-operative care instructions will be customized to meet your unique needs. Surgical results and recovery instructions may vary.
- If you are an out of province patient, you will have specific follow-up instructions provided to you at the time of your consultation.
What Is The Cost Of Breast Implant Surgery?
Every Breast Augmentation is a customized procedure, so the cost can vary significantly. In general, the cost of Breast Augmentation surgery ranges from $8,600 to $10,000. The exact cost is determined by your existing anatomy, unique surgical requirements, and desired aesthetic results. The extent of your procedure will determine the exact cost. If you require additional surgical time or additional surgical procedures to achieve your desired aesthetic results, that will be reflected in your quote.
The surgeon you decide to work with is the #1 determining factor on the results you’re going to achieve. Plastic Surgeons price their procedures according to the quality care and surgical skills they bring to their patients. Seeking a surgeon based on price often leads to undesirable results, and the problems that come along with it are often complex (and costly) to fix. Ask anyone who has undergone revision surgery; it’s a lot less expensive to get it done right the first time.
You will receive an exact quote after your consultation with your Plastic Surgeon. Quotes are valid for 6 months from the date they are printed.
To reserve your consultation, call our Patient Coordinator at The First Glance Aesthetic Clinic & Surgery Centre (204) 885-1419.
Is Financing Available?
Yes, we work with a credit company called MediCard that specializes in financing options for aesthetic surgery. It’s easy and fast to apply. You can apply with MediCard online or over the phone. Once you are approved, you can go forward with securing your surgery date.
MediCard is not your only option for financing. You can also contact your bank to see if they can offer you lower interest rates.
If you would like to learn more about your financing options, please call one of our Patient Coordinators at (204) 885-1419 for more details.
How Should I Prepare For My Initial Consultation?
- Find photos that reflect your desired aesthetic results so you can show them to your surgeon during your consultation. Pictures are a great way to clarify your augmentation goals.
- If you can, bring a padded bra that reflects the style, size, and shape you’re interested in. Your surgeon will present your implant options to you during your initial consultation. You will be able to see, touch, and try on different types of implants. Trying implants on will allow you to compare size, style, shape, and projection between your implant options and your favorite padded bra.
- Bring a tight fitting t-shirt or a tank-top with you. Seeing yourself with a shirt on makes it easier to determine the changes you’d like to see.
You will have a private, in-depth consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to determine which type of augmentation is best to achieve your desired aesthetic results.
During your consultation, we encourage you to show your surgeon photos of your ideal outcome to give a clear visual of the results you’d like to achieve. If you’re unsure of the final results you’d like to achieve at the time of your consultation, your surgeon can help you discover the best size, shape, position, and fit.
Your procedure will be personalized according to your existing measurements, unique surgical requirements, and desired aesthetic results.
At the time of your consultation, you will be able to see a digital preview of your results with the latest before and after breast augmentation simulation software.
If your augmentation includes breast implants, you will be able to touch, try on, and compare your implant options.
Realtime Video Consultations are available for Out Of Province patients.
After your consultation, you can reserve your surgery date.
How Long Is The Wait For Surgery?
On average, the wait time is about two months from the time of your consultation.
If you have a preferred surgery date, don’t wait until it’s too late. Call (204) 885-1419 and speak to one of our Patient Coordinators to reserve your consultation today.
Natural Fat Transfer
Natural Fat Transfer is an implant-free augmentation technique that uses unwanted fat from areas of your body to boost the size of your breasts by 1 to 1.5 cups.
If you prefer to have a more natural augmentation rather than implants, why not use your unwanted fat from your waist, hips, and thighs to give you fuller, larger, more supple breasts?
Natural Fat Transfer is often performed in combination with Breast Implant surgery to perfectly smooth out and soften the gap between the implant and the chest. With Natural Fat Transfer, you will get a soft shape that looks and feels natural.
This procedure is performed under local anesthesia in about 2 to 3 hours. Scarring is minimal (if any at all) and you can expect a quick recovery.
Liposuction and Fat Transfer
With Natural Fat Transfer, you get the additional benefits of Body Contouring.
Liposuction is performed to remove and collect fat from other parts of your body, such as your hips, thighs, and tummy. The fat is processed, then injected into your breasts for a custom increase in size, shape, and volume.
Proper Candidates For Natural Fat Transfer
If you wish to significantly enhance the size of your breasts — more than 2 cup sizes — and you want more fullness in the upper portion of your chest, your Surgeon may recommend Breast Implant Surgery instead. On the other hand, if you’re looking to boost your bust line by 1 to 1.5 cups and do not need a dramatic lift, a Natural Fat Transfer might be the right fit.
Ideal weight for Natural Fat Transfer surgery means that you have enough fat, preferably in your lower abdomen or inner thighs, to allow a decent amount of fat to be harvested. Excellent results can be achieved on slender women. However, if you have extra fat around your tummy or inner thighs, this is preferred.
With Natural Fat Transfer, the final result cannot be guaranteed. Some patients experience a 15% to 20% loss of volume over time due to reabsorption. If volume loss occurs, you may require a secondary treatment.
Advanced Specialized Training
Natural Fat Transfer is a complex surgery and very few surgeons have proper training (if any at all). It’s essential to see a Board Certified Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon who has advanced specialized training and experience in Fat Transfer for breast surgery. Otherwise, you may experience complications and undesirable results. Dr. Avi Islur is one of the first plastic surgeons in Winnipeg, MB who trained with Dr. Roger Khouri at the prestigious Miami Breast Center. Dr. Khouri is the founder and world-renowned pioneer of fat transfer to the breast for augmentation and reconstructive microsurgery. Dr. Avi Islur also teaches and mentors other plastic surgeons on the latest Fat Transfer for Breast and Body Contouring techniques.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Recovery Like After Natural Fat Transfer Surgery?
You may experience a very quick recovery after your Fat Transfer Surgery. Recovery time is within 2 to 4 days following your surgery. Individual results and recovery instructions may vary.
What Is The Cost Of Natural Fat Transfer Surgery?
The cost of Natural Fat Transfer surgery is more than implants due to the additional surgical time required for Liposuction and Body Contouring. The cost of Natural Fat Transfer starts at $8,900. To get an exact quote, you must be seen by one of our Board Certified Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgeons in consultation. Feel free to call (204) 885-1419 to reserve your consultation.

Can Fat Transfer Cause Capsular Contracture?
No, the good news is you cannot get capsular contracture from Natural Fat Transfer. And there’s no need for implant replacement surgery.
If I Don’t Have Enough Fat To Transfer To My Breasts, Can I Use Someone Else’s Fat For My Surgery?
Yes, but there’s somewhat of a catch. If you don’t have enough fat (this is rare), your donor would have to be an identical twin.
Can I Remove My Breast Implants and Replace the Lost Volume With a Fat Transfer?
Yes, your Surgeon can remove your implants, and some of the volume can be replaced with your own fat. Depending on your ideal breast size, you can also replace your old implants with new ones and add a Fat Transfer to enhance the appearance.
How Long Is The Wait For Surgery?
On average, the wait time is about two months from the time of your consultation.
If you have a preferred surgery date, don’t wait until it’s too late. Call (204) 885-1419 and speak to one of our Patient Coordinators to reserve your consultation today.
