breast tissue. Leading up to the procedure, after her initial
consultation, Moneisha was able to call upon Dr Tavakoli
and his nurses to lay any final concerns to rest.
On the day of the surgery, Dr Tavakoli and his staff
ensured all Moneisha’s questions or concerns were
addressed before going in. Everyone – from the preparation
nurse to the anaesthetist – made her feel comfortable with
their friendly, caring and supportive manner.
During the operation, Dr Tavakoli placed the implants
in a dual plane, sub-muscular pocket, which means the
implant sits both above and beneath the pectoral muscle,
as the implant pocket is 50 percent over and 50 percent
under the muscle.
The dual-plane technique grants a smooth contour or
‘take-off’ from the chest wall (as the top of the implant is
underneath the muscle) but also affords increased size
projection, due to the over-the-muscle placement at
the base.
Moneisha recovered from her operation with relative
ease. She had been prescribed pain medication for the
days following surgery and was able to return to work within
seven days. She was advised to refrain from strenuous
activity and heavy lifting for two to three weeks after surgery.
Since her breast augmentation, Moneisha’s newly
defined proportions have left her feeling confident and
happy with her decision to undergo breast augmentation.
She no longer feels the need for push-up or padded bras
and can happily fill any type of bra or clothing.
She enjoys being able to shop without worrying about
how clothes will fit, and believes the choice she made to
go ahead with breast surgery was the right decision for her
confidence, her lifestyle and her body. csbm

What makes a beautiful breast?
A
well-augmented breast has a natural fullness, with
gentle sloping off the chest wall. There should be
natural cleavage without webbing between the
breasts and only a certain amount of perkiness.
To achieve this natural-looking fullness, Dr Tavakoli
says there are three main criteria:
1. Correct selection of implant pocket – behind or
above the muscle.
2. Correct selection of implant diameter to match the
patient’s build and height.
3. Correct selection of implant projection. An
augmented breast that is too perky will tend to
look fake, as a small amount of droop is natural.
