For most surgeons, the question in breast augmentation is which scar a woman will accept on her breast. For me, it is how to leave none at all. I am Dr. Nazmi Baycin, and the operation that has become the signature of my practice — breast augmentation in Dubai performed entirely through a small incision hidden in the underarm — answers exactly that. No incision is made on the breast itself. Nothing is cut through the breast gland. And once the underarm fold has healed, there is no visible trace that surgery was ever performed.

I did not simply adopt the transaxillary approach; I refined it. Over twenty-five years I have performed scarless breast augmentation on more than 950 patients, and along the way I engineered my own specialized instruments to insert the implant through an incision of just 2.5 to 4 centimeters — shorter than the 4 to 5 cm most surgeons require. The result is a faster recovery, a preserved capacity to breastfeed, intact nipple sensation, and a breast that looks natural because nothing on it was ever disturbed. This is the principle that guides every procedure I perform in Dubai: to restore form is to restore function.

What can a breast augmentation in Dubai do for you?

A breast augmentation adds volume and shape to breasts that are naturally small, have emptied after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss, or are visibly uneven — restoring a fuller, better-proportioned figure that fits your frame. It fills the upper breast that deflates after nursing, brings two mismatched sides into balance, and, in my hands, does all of this with no incision on the breast at all: the implant enters through the underarm, the gland is never cut, and both breastfeeding and nipple sensation are preserved.

The change is both physical and personal: clothes that finally fit the way you always wanted them to, and the confidence of a figure that matches how you see yourself. For breasts that never developed the volume you hoped for, or that lost it, no exercise, cream, or padded bra can add tissue — augmentation is the single answer that does.

Why might you need a breast augmentation?

Breast size and shape are set by things you cannot train: genetics, hormones, pregnancy, weight history, and time. Three situations bring women to me most often. Some breasts simply never developed the volume a woman hoped for, leaving a frame that looks out of proportion. Others were full once and have deflated — pregnancy and breastfeeding leave the gland smaller and the upper breast empty, and major weight loss does the same. And in a great many women the two breasts differ in size or shape; fewer than 10% are naturally symmetrical, and when the difference is visible it becomes a daily concern.

An implant answers each of these: it supplies volume where there was never enough, restores what was lost, and — using implants of differing sizes on each side, as I have done for 56 women in my own series — balances asymmetry. Where the breasts have also dropped, augmentation can be combined with a breast lift so that volume and position are corrected together.

The three reasons women seek breast augmentation in Dubai — and what an implant does for each
Factor Breasts that never developed Volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss Asymmetric breasts
What has happened The gland never reached the volume you hoped for; the frame looks out of proportion Nursing or major weight loss leave the gland smaller and the upper breast empty The two sides differ in size or shape — fewer than 10% of women are naturally symmetrical
What an implant does Supplies the missing volume, matched to your breast base and frame Restores what was lost and refills the upper pole Implants of differing sizes on each side bring the two breasts into balance
Often combined with — A breast lift, if the breast has also dropped A lift on one side only, in selected cases
Why the scarless route matters here Nothing on the breast is disturbed; the result reads as your own The gland is never cut, so a later pregnancy can still be breastfed Two different implants, still with no scar on either breast
In Dr. Baycin’s 950+ series — 40 patients became pregnant afterwards; 29 breastfed without difficulty 56 pre-existing asymmetries balanced with differing sizes

Are you a good candidate for a breast augmentation?

Candidacy checklist for breast augmentation in Dubai: the concern, the health requirements, and the breast base width limitThe best candidates are women in good general health, with a clean medical history free of systemic disease, whose breasts are fully developed and who want more volume, a fuller shape, or better symmetry. Most of the women who come to me either never had the volume they wanted or lost it after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss — though it is equally suited to women with a visible asymmetry between the two sides, and to those with a tuberous breast shape that an implant helps to correct. The scarless technique suits, in particular, women who want no scar on the breast, and women who plan to breastfeed in the future, since the gland is never cut.

A few specific conditions make for the safest, most satisfying result:

  • a clean medical history, free of systemic disease such as heart disease
  • good overall health and a stable weight
  • over 18, with fully developed breasts
  • realistic expectations, and an understanding that your breast base sets the size your anatomy can carry
  • finished breastfeeding, ideally several months before surgery
  • a non-smoker (or willing to stop well before surgery)
  • no active breast disease, with age-appropriate screening up to date
  • an understanding that implants are not lifetime devices
  • a previous unsatisfactory augmentation is not a barrier — revision is possible

One honest note: there is no non-surgical way to add lasting breast volume — no exercise, cream, or supplement grows glandular tissue. Fat transfer is sometimes offered as an implant-free alternative; I do not offer it, because its volume is unpredictable and it changes how the breast looks on screening, as I explain in why I do not offer fat transfer for breast augmentation. But an implant has its own limit, too: its diameter must be smaller than your breast base width, so the size you can realistically carry is decided by your own anatomy, which I measure at consultation before any number is discussed.

Two-tier diagram of candidacy for breast augmentation in Dubai — the three concerns an implant answers (breasts that never developed, volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and asymmetry), the six health conditions checked before surgery, and the anatomical limit that decides the size a woman can carry.

Candidacy is decided by anatomy and health, not by the size a woman has in mind. Three concerns bring women to me: breasts that never developed the volume they hoped for, volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss, and a visible difference between the two sides — fewer than 10% of women are naturally symmetrical. An implant answers each: it supplies what was never there, restores what was lost, or, in differing sizes on each side, brings the two breasts into balance, as it has for 56 women in my series. Beneath that sit the conditions I check before any surgery is planned: a clean medical history, no smoking, no active breast disease with screening current, breastfeeding finished, realistic expectations, and an understanding that implants are not lifetime devices. And beneath everything sits the one limit no wish can override: the implant’s diameter must be smaller than the breast base width, which is why I measure the base, the nipple-to-fold distance under stretch, and the pinch thickness at consultation before any number is discussed.

What breast size can you realistically achieve?

Nobody has an endless capacity for breast size. Your capacity is set by your current breast size and the width of your breast base — in simple terms, the larger your existing breast, the more an implant has to work with. The size you have been dreaming of must therefore be something your anatomy can realistically carry.

The key technical rule is that the implant’s diameter should be smaller than your breast base width. If it is not, the edges of the implant can sit proud of the breast, becoming visible and even palpable. This is why the size you aspire to should be both realistic and technically possible — a judgment I make with you, not for you. It is also why the same implant gives different results in different women: a 250 cc implant that transforms a petite frame may barely register on a larger one. The right size is the one matched to your body, not to a number from an online forum. The measurements behind that judgment — base width, nipple-to-fold under stretch, and pinch thickness — are set out in my article on how implant size is measured rather than guessed.

What surgical techniques are used for breast augmentation?

The breast is made of milk glands and fat, with the pectoralis major and minor muscles lying between the ribs and the glandular tissue. An implant can be placed either between the gland and the muscle, or beneath the muscle against the ribs. The way the surgeon reaches that pocket — the incision — is what determines your scar, and it is the single most consequential choice in the operation. There are three established routes. What each route crosses, and what each one costs you, I compare in full in my article on where the scar goes, and what it records. Here is the short version.

Periareolar incision technique for breast augmentation, around the areola

Periareolar incision — placed at the areolar border.

Periareolar incision

A roughly 4 cm incision along the lower edge of the areola, with the pocket reached through the breast tissue. It heals to a subtle mark at the areolar border, and it is the only one of the three routes that passes an implant through the breast gland and its ducts.

Submammary fold incision for breast augmentation, in the breast crease

Submammary incision — placed in the lower breast fold.

Submammary fold incision

A 4 cm incision placed in the natural fold beneath the breast, entering beneath the gland rather than through it. Its limitation is simple: the scar, however discreet, still sits on the breast.

Axillary (transaxillary) incision for scarless breast augmentation in Dubai

Axillary incision — the scarless approach, hidden in the underarm.

Axillary incision

The incision follows the natural fold lines of the underarm, leaving no scar on the breast at all. Placed beneath the muscle in a dual plane, this approach also markedly lowers the risk of infection. Over time the underarm scar fades into the fold line and disappears. The breast gland stays completely intact — so breastfeeding and milk supply are preserved — and nipple sensation is very rarely affected. This is the approach I have built my practice on, and refined beyond the standard.

How does Dr. Baycin select the proper technique?

No single incision is right for every breast, and I do not decide the route before I have examined you. Three things settle it: the position of the nipple and areola, the shape of the lower breast, and whether anything about the breast itself needs correcting beyond volume. When the breast is well shaped and simply needs to be fuller, the route that leaves it unmarked is the obvious choice. When the breast needs reshaping as well, the incision has to go where the reshaping is done. This is how I match the three routes to the breast in front of me.

  • Periareolar incision. I use the areolar route when the nipple and areola themselves have to move — a mild degree of breast ptosis, where a small lift can be built into the same incision, or a mild tuberous breast, where the constricted areola needs reducing and the tight lower tissue needs releasing from directly beneath it. The incision is already at the areola, so the correction and the implant share one approach.
  • Submammary fold incision. I open the fold for the moderate and severe tuberous breast, where the lower pole must be scored and expanded under direct vision and the fold itself often has to be lowered, and for the patient who needs an anatomical (teardrop) implant to build a lower pole that is short or empty. Both demand a clear view of the lower breast, and the fold gives it.
  • Transaxillary incision. This is my favorite route, because it makes the patient and the surgeon equally happy: she keeps an unmarked breast with an intact gland and normal nipple sensation, and I can build a precise dual-plane pocket through a 2.5–4 cm incision with the instruments I designed for it. I use it in more than 90% of my cases — every woman whose breasts are well shaped and need volume, with no deformity to correct. If you fall into that group, this is almost certainly the route I will recommend.
How Dr. Baycin matches the incision route to the breast — breast augmentation in Dubai
Route When I choose it What it allows Share of my cases
Periareolar Nipple–areola relocation; mild ptosis; mild tuberous breast A small lift or areolar reduction through the same incision Selected cases
Submammary fold Moderate to severe tuberous breast; anatomical implant for a short or empty lower pole Direct vision of the lower pole for scoring, expansion and fold repositioning Selected cases
Transaxillary Well-shaped breasts that need volume, with no deformity to correct No scar on the breast; gland, ducts and nipple sensation untouched; dual-plane pocket More than 90%

How does Dr. Baycin perform breast augmentation without scarring?

The standard transaxillary incision is about 4 to 5 cm. I have reduced mine to 2.5 to 4 cm by designing specialized instruments for implant insertion — and because the underarm fold and that short scar overlap, its visibility fades within six months and disappears entirely by a year. A smaller wound also means a quicker recovery with less discomfort. Further details of my approach are the subject of my writing on the transaxillary technique.

Comparison of the three breast augmentation incision routes in Dubai — periareolar and submammary both leave a scar on the breast, while the 2.5–4 cm axillary incision sits in the underarm fold and is the only route of the three that leaves the breast gland completely intact.

An implant can be placed between the gland and the muscle, or beneath the muscle against the ribs — but how the surgeon reaches that pocket is what determines the scar, and what is cut to get there. The periareolar incision, roughly 4 cm at the lower areolar border, is the only one of the three routes that passes an implant through the breast gland and its ducts. The submammary incision, also about 4 cm, enters beneath the gland rather than through it, but the scar still sits on the breast. The axillary route follows the natural fold lines of the underarm, leaving no scar on the breast at all; I perform it through 2.5 to 4 cm rather than the standard 4 to 5 cm, using instruments I designed for the approach. Because the gland is never cut, breastfeeding and milk supply are preserved and nipple sensation is very rarely affected — outcomes that incisions around the areola cannot reliably promise. In a series of more than 950 patients, 40 went on to become pregnant and 29 breastfed without any difficulty.

Is this the same as the Mia Femtech procedure?

My technique is technically similar to Mia Femtech, which is a simplified, heavily marketed version of transaxillary augmentation that has gained attention in Dubai — but the differences matter. Its own three-year study of 100 patients describes a procedure carried out with a set of proprietary single-use instruments and one specific implant, which rules out every other brand and every size that tool cannot accept. That system caps the implant at 195cc, whereas I am free to use an implant of any size your own tissue can carry. For a woman who wants a noticeable increase rather than a modest one, that constraint decides her result before the operation has begun.

That same study also records that the Mia procedure is performed without general anesthesia and places the implant in front of the muscle — not beneath it, which is the position that gives the most natural appearance and the lowest complication risk. Because I perform essentially the same operation without the proprietary system, I am free to use any FDA-approved implant, in any size, placed exactly where your result calls for it. I set the two side by side, point by point, in my comparison of the branded system against the open transaxillary technique.

Breastfeeding preserved after scarless transaxillary breast augmentation in Dubai: follow-up photograph three months after childbirth with a drop of milk at the nipple, circled, and an enlarged inset of the same frame

Follow-up three months after childbirth: a drop of milk at the nipple (circled; inset enlarged from the same frame). Nipple visible for clinical purposes; otherwise unretouched, published with written consent.

The photograph beside this text is the most direct evidence I can offer that the underarm route leaves the gland untouched. It was taken at a routine follow-up of one of my patients, three months after she gave birth, from a normal clinical distance in the standing position I use for every case. A drop of milk appeared at the nipple at the moment the picture was taken; it is circled in the main view and enlarged in the inset, which is a crop of the same frame rather than a second photograph, which is why the inset is softer than the rest of the image. Nothing between the implant pocket and the nipple was cut, so milk supply and the ducts that carry it are exactly as they were before surgery. Of the 40 women in my series who became pregnant after augmentation, 29 breastfed without any difficulty.

Over twenty-five years I have performed breast augmentation on more than 950 patients. The outcomes of that series speak more clearly than any claim:

  • No infections and no bleeding complications across the entire series.
  • Capsular contracture in 13 patients (1.4%) within the first four months — all settled without further surgery, managed conservatively with a dedicated massage and follow-up program.
  • Subtle, acceptable asymmetry in 43 patients (4.5%), none needing surgical correction.
  • 56 patients with pre-existing breast asymmetry, balanced using implants of differing sizes.
  • 40 patients went on to become pregnant; of these, 29 breastfed without any difficulty — direct evidence that the gland and ducts are preserved.
  • One implant rupture, caused by a traffic accident, successfully removed and replaced.

These are my own consecutive results rather than a controlled comparison, and I offer them as what a refined transaxillary approach and meticulous technique have delivered in my hands.

Outcomes of 950+ consecutive breast augmentations — Dr. Nazmi Baycin, Dubai
Outcome Patients (n) Rate Notes
Surgical site infection 0 0% None across the entire series.
Bleeding complications 0 0% None across the entire series.
Capsular contracture 13 1.4% All within the first four months. Every case settled without further surgery, managed conservatively with a dedicated massage and follow-up program.
Subtle post-operative asymmetry 43 4.5% Within an acceptable range; none required surgical correction.
Implant rupture 1 0.1% Caused by a traffic accident. Successfully removed and replaced.
Pre-existing asymmetry corrected 56 5.9% Balanced using implants of differing sizes on each side.
Pregnancy after surgery 40 4.2% Followed up through pregnancy and delivery.
Breastfed without difficulty 29 72.5% Of the 40 patients who became pregnant — direct evidence that the gland and ducts are preserved.

How to read this table. These are consecutive results from a single surgeon’s practice over twenty-five years, not a controlled comparison against another technique or another surgeon. Rates are calculated against the full series unless stated otherwise; the breastfeeding figure is calculated against the forty patients who became pregnant, not the whole series. No control group means these numbers describe what this approach has delivered in these hands, and should not be read as a general complication rate for breast augmentation.

Breast augmentation before & after images

Before breast augmentation in Dubai: small breasts with an empty upper pole and narrow base, pre-operative photograph from Dr. Nazmi Baycin's series

Before breast augmentation in Dubai: the patient’s own pre-operative photograph, taken at consultation in the standing position I use for every case. The breasts are small for her frame with an empty upper pole and a narrow base — the pattern I see most often in women who never developed the volume they hoped for. This is the anatomy the implant has to be measured against: base width, nipple-to-fold distance under stretch, and pinch thickness were recorded here, before any implant size was discussed. Nipple area masked for publication; the photograph is otherwise unretouched, and published with the patient’s written consent, from my own series of more than 950 augmentations.

Three months after breast augmentation in Dubai by Dr. Nazmi Baycin, same patient, dual-plane implants through a 3 cm underarm incision, no scar on the breast

Three months after breast augmentation in Dubai by Dr. Nazmi Baycin: the same patient, same lighting and position, with dual-plane 325 cc silicone implants placed through a 3 cm underarm incision — no incision on the breast, the gland untouched. At three months the upper pole has filled, the implants have settled into the fold, and the breasts move naturally; a little residual firmness is still expected and the final softness comes between three and six months. There is no scar anywhere on the breast; the only mark is in the armpit crease and is already fading. Nipple area masked for publication; the photograph is otherwise unretouched, and published with the patient’s written consent.

Where does Dr. Baycin perform breast augmentation in Dubai?

I perform every breast augmentation in a top-tier, JCI-accredited hospital in Dubai that meets strict international standards of safety and hygiene. Your surgery takes place in a modern, fully equipped environment built for maximum safety and comfort — because the quality of the result is inseparable from the quality of the setting.

What is recovery after breast augmentation like?

You will not experience severe pain after the procedure. Although the surgery is performed under general anesthesia, I also infiltrate a long-acting local anesthetic directly into the surgical area, so the first day — usually when discomfort peaks — passes without pain. Any mild to moderate ache in the following days is easily managed with the pain medication and antibiotics I prescribe. Swelling and occasional bruising are normal and typically fade within ten days, and you can shower just two to three days after surgery.

Because I use absorbable, hidden sutures, there is nothing to remove. You will be mobile rather than bed-bound, and many patients return to work — or take a flight — within a few days. For the first two weeks you will wear a supportive garment; once the wound has healed at around fifteen days, you may swim. When the discomfort settles, usually ten to fifteen days in, you will begin a breast-massage routine, which I will teach you at your follow-up, to keep the implant pocket mobile as it heals.

Breast augmentation recovery timeline in Dubai: four weekly phases with how you feel and what is happening, from swelling at 48 hours to the final result at 3–6 months

Recovery after breast augmentation runs on two tracks, and they are not in step. The body settles quickly: there is no pain on the first day because I infiltrate a long-acting local anesthetic, you shower at two to three days, most patients are back at a desk or on a flight by day four or five, the garment comes off and swimming begins at around day fifteen, and the breasts soften into their final shape over three to six months. Mood follows a different path. It dips in the first week — low energy, swelling at its peak at 48 hours, and a period of questioning the decision — turns the corner in the second week, feels like yourself by the third, and by the fourth sits above where it started. The pace varies with personality; the shape rarely does. Knowing the dip is coming is half of getting through it.

What are the risks and complications of breast augmentation?

Evidence note: The complication rates shown in this chart are compiled from multiple peer-reviewed medical publications and represent aggregate findings reported in the scientific literature. These values provide general estimates of the potential risks associated with breast augmentation and should not be interpreted as the expected outcome for any individual patient. Individual risk varies according to patient characteristics, surgical technique, surgeon experience, and postoperative care.

Surgical risks such as infection and hematoma (a collection of blood) can be largely avoided with careful technique and the right medication. The complication most particular to breast implants is capsular contracture — a tightening of scar tissue that can form around the implant, usually within the first year. It arises from an individual’s healing response as well as factors inside the operating room. I set out what implant massage does and cannot do, and why I still teach it, in my article on the myth and the evidence behind implant massage; where contracture has already formed, my guide to treating established capsular contracture sets out the options honestly.

Minor asymmetry can also occur — and is worth keeping in perspective, since fewer than 10% of women have naturally symmetrical breasts to begin with. Where a patient already has a tuberous breast deformity or a pre-existing asymmetry, I correct as much as the anatomy allows, though some subtle asymmetry may remain; in my own series, 56 women with pre-existing asymmetry were balanced using implants of differing sizes.

Most of the deformities that bring women to revision — a double bubble, a high-riding implant, implants that drift or meet in the middle, visible edges — trace to a technical decision in the first operation rather than to the patient’s anatomy; I map each one to the error behind it, and to the technique that prevents it, in my article on the technical mistakes in breast augmentation and how each is avoided. If a previous augmentation has already led to malposition, rippling, or asymmetry, my guide to revision procedures after augmentation explains how each failure is diagnosed and structurally repaired.

Breast augmentation in Dubai: suitability and safety checklist

Important: This checklist helps you prepare for your consultation. It cannot decide whether surgery is safe or suitable for you. Please disclose your full medical history, medicines, and supplements when we meet — everything you share stays confidential.

  • Discuss at consultation We plan around it together. Usually not a barrier on its own.
  • Medical review The anesthesia team or a specialist reviews it, sometimes with tests or a clearance letter, before a date is confirmed.
  • Postpone Surgery waits until this has changed or settled.
  • Alternative advised This procedure is not the right fit; another option may suit you better.

Part 1 — Is breast augmentation right for you? You are likely a good fit if you can answer “YES” to these.
# Question Why it matters If the answer is “NO”
1 Are you 18 or older, with fully developed breasts? The breast must have finished developing. Some implant types carry a higher minimum age under manufacturer or regulatory guidance. Not offered
2 Is more volume, a fuller shape, or better symmetry your main goal? An implant adds volume. Breasts that have mainly dropped need lifting as well. Alternative advised A breast lift, with or without an implant.
3 Are you open to your implant size being set by your breast measurements, rather than a number chosen in advance? An implant wider than your breast base can show its edges; your anatomy sets the size you can carry. Discuss at consultation We measure base width, nipple-to-fold distance, and tissue thickness.
4 Has your weight been stable for at least 6 months? Weight change alters breast volume and how the implant sits. Postpone Until your weight has settled.
5 Do you understand that implants are not lifetime devices and may need checks or replacement in future? Future monitoring and, at some point, further surgery are part of having implants. Discuss at consultation See implant exchange.

Part 2 — Health and safety before a breast augmentation Tell us if any of these apply. A “YES” rarely rules surgery out; it tells us what to plan for.

26 Smoking, vaping, or any nicotine — including pouches, gum, or patches Nicotine reduces blood flow and raises healing problems and infection risk around the implant. Discuss at consultation Nicotine-free recovery period is advised.
27 Recreational drug use or regular heavy drinking These interact with anesthesia and slow healing. Medical review
28 Flying long-haul to Dubai for surgery, or planning to fly home soon after Long flights add to clot risk around surgery. Discuss at consultation We plan your travel dates with you.
Expectations and wellbeing
29 Do you spend a lot of time worrying about how your breasts or body look, or feel no change would be enough even when others disagree? This can be a sign of body-image distress that surgery rarely relieves. Discuss at consultation A supportive, private conversation.

Medical note: A medical condition, infection, or medicine does not automatically rule out breast augmentation. The decision depends on the diagnosis, how well it is controlled, the planned procedure, and assessment by the surgeon and anesthesia team. Never stop or change prescribed medication without advice from your treating clinician.

Implant risks: Breast implants carry specific risks, including capsular contracture, rupture, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and infection. These are discussed in full at consultation before you decide.

Aesthetic note: Breast augmentation can increase volume and improve selected differences in shape or symmetry. The right implant size and placement depend on your anatomy, existing tissue, and skin elasticity; larger is not always appropriate, and a specific size or degree of symmetry cannot be guaranteed.

What are the steps of breast augmentation in Dubai from consultation to surgery?

Because breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, the path from your first visit to your procedure follows five steps. Each one is there to confirm that surgery is both safe and right for you.

  1. Consultation: I examine your breasts and take your breast measurements — base width, nipple-to-fold distance under stretch, and pinch thickness — then we choose the incision route and the implant size your anatomy can carry. Consultations are paid, and this is where your exact pricing is confirmed.
  2. Booking the procedure: Once you decide to proceed, we reserve your surgery date and order your implants in the size selected from your measurements. Procedures are scheduled within 2–10 days, depending on the hospital’s operating theater (OT) availability.
  3. Preoperative blood tests: Routine blood tests are carried out before surgery to confirm that you are in good general health for general anesthesia.
  4. Preoperative anesthesia consultation for clearance: The anesthesiologist reviews your test results and medical history and gives clearance for general anesthesia.
  5. Procedure: I place your implants in a dual plane through the route chosen at consultation — the underarm in more than 90% of cases — in a JCI-accredited hospital. The hospital stay is a day case or one night.

How much does a breast augmentation cost in Dubai, UAE?

The costs of the breast augmentation in Dubai can really vary from one clinic to another. Generally, you can expect to pay anywhere from 25,000 AED ($6,800) to 60,000 AED ($16,400), depending on a few different factors.

These prices don’t reflect what Dr. Baycin charges specifically. You’ll get the exact figure during your consultation after he evaluates your situation.

About Dr. Nazmi Baycin

DHA-licensed, board-certified plastic surgeon, Dubai

  • 25+ years in practice
  • 7,000+ procedures
  • JCI-accredited hospitals
  • ASPS international member

Surgery, to me, is precision applied in service of restoration — a conviction that has guided every one of the more than 7,000 procedures I have performed over 25 years in practice. I am a DHA-licensed, board-certified plastic surgeon, trained in Turkey and based in Dubai since 2016. I operate exclusively within JCI-accredited hospitals, and hold international membership in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Three techniques, in particular, have become signatures of my practice. Scarless breast augmentation, performed through a transaxillary approach that leaves no incision on the breast itself. Labiaplasty designed individually around each patient’s own anatomy, never to a standard template. And 3D customized facial bone implants, engineered through CT-based bespoke printing — a technique I currently offer as the only surgeon in Dubai providing it. My practice today spans facial rejuvenation, breast surgery, body contouring, and cosmetic genital procedures, drawing patients from across the UAE, Europe, and the wider GCC. Yet the principle guiding each of these specialties has never changed: to restore form is to restore function.

FAQs about breast augmentation in Dubai

  1. What is breast augmentation?

    Breast augmentation is how I enhance the size and shape of the breasts, most often using implants, to create a fuller, more balanced figure. Women come to me to increase their breast size, restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight change, or improve symmetry between the two sides. What distinguishes my approach is my signature scarless technique, which places the implant without leaving any scar on the breast itself. My aim is always a natural-looking, proportionate result tailored to your body.

  2. How much does breast augmentation cost in Dubai?

    Breast augmentation costs in Dubai vary from clinic to clinic and depend on several factors, ranging from AED 25,000 to AED 60,000, depending on the implant chosen and the details of your procedure. These are general market figures, not Dr. Baycin’s personal rates; the precise cost is confirmed at your consultation, once your goals and the right implant for you have been discussed.

  3. What is the scarless (transaxillary) technique?

    This is my signature approach, and it is what many women come to me for. Instead of making an incision on the breast, I place the implant through a small, hidden incision in the natural fold of the armpit, the transaxillary route. From there I create the pocket and position the implant precisely. The great advantage is that there is no scar on the breast at all, so the breast looks entirely natural and unoperated, with the only small scar concealed in the armpit crease.

  4. Where is the scar with a scarless augmentation?

    The only incision is a small one placed discreetly within the natural crease of the armpit, where it is well concealed and, once healed, very difficult to notice. Crucially, there is no incision and no scar anywhere on the breast itself, which is the whole point of the technique and why it is described as scarless. This is a particular advantage for women who want to be certain that nothing about their breasts reveals that a procedure has been performed.

  5. What type and size of implant is right for me?

    The right choice is always individual, and I guide you through it carefully at consultation. We consider implant type, such as modern cohesive silicone gel, along with size, shape, and profile, matching them to your frame, your existing tissue, and the natural look you want. Rather than simply fitting the largest possible implant, I focus on proportion and balance with your body, so the result enhances your figure naturally. Choosing well here is central to a beautiful, natural outcome.

  6. Will my breasts look and feel natural?

    A natural look and feel is my priority. By selecting an implant proportionate to your frame, positioning it precisely, and using the scarless technique so there is no scar on the breast, I aim for a result that looks and feels like a natural enhancement of your own body rather than an obvious one. Modern cohesive implants have a soft, natural feel, and careful placement ensures the breasts move and sit naturally. The goal is that your result simply looks like you, at your best.

  7. Where is the implant placed, under or over the muscle?

    In a dual plane, which I use in every augmentation I perform. The upper part of the implant sits beneath the chest muscle, giving a soft, natural upper slope and good coverage — particularly valuable for slimmer women with less natural tissue — while the lower part sits beneath the breast tissue, so the implant follows the breast’s natural shape and moves with it. Placing the implant entirely in front of the muscle gives less coverage and a higher risk of complications, which is why I do not do it. At consultation I explain how the dual plane will work with your own anatomy.

  8. What is recovery after breast augmentation like?

    Recovery is generally straightforward. You go home the same day or after one night, and most women return to desk work within a few days. You will feel tightness and some soreness in the first days, particularly where the implant sits under the muscle, and this eases steadily. I advise avoiding strenuous activity and heavy lifting for several weeks while everything settles, and wearing a supportive garment for the first two weeks.

  9. What is capsular contracture?

    It is worth understanding, as it is one of the specific considerations with any implant. The body naturally forms a soft capsule of tissue around an implant, which is normal. Occasionally this capsule tightens and firms, which is called capsular contracture and can affect the feel or shape of the breast. It is uncommon, and I minimize the risk through meticulous, sterile technique and careful implant handling and placement — the work that actually determines this is done in the operating room rather than afterward. Should it ever occur, it can be treated, and I discuss this fully with you beforehand.

  10. Are breast implants permanent, and will I need them replaced?

    Breast implants are long-lasting but are not necessarily lifelong devices. They do not have a fixed expiry date, and many women keep the same implants for a great many years without any issue. However, implants may eventually need replacing or revising at some point in the future, whether for a change in preference or, rarely, a problem. I discuss this honestly at consultation so you have realistic, long-term expectations from the outset, and I remain available for your follow-up care.

  11. Are you a good candidate for breast augmentation?

    You are likely a good candidate if you would like more breast volume, a fuller shape, or improved symmetry, your breasts are fully developed, and you are in good general health with realistic expectations. The scarless technique in particular suits women who want no scar on the breast. A clean medical history is the foundation of safe surgery. At consultation we discuss your goals, examine your anatomy, and choose the approach and implant that will give you the most natural result.

  12. Can breast augmentation in Dubai be combined with other procedures?

    Yes. Where the breasts are both smaller than you would like and a little sagging, augmentation can be combined with a breast lift to add volume and raise the breasts together. It is also often part of a broader plan, such as a mommy makeover with a tummy tuck. At consultation I assess your goals and overall health and recommend combining procedures only where it is safe and genuinely enhances your result.

Breast augmentation is a single operation built from a series of separate decisions — the route in, the pocket, the implant’s volume, shape, and profile, and how the result is protected afterward. Each of these articles takes one of those decisions further than a single page can:

About breast augmentation with Dr. Nazim - I couldn’t imagine a better experience and result!! Let’s start that I had many consultations with doctors in Dubai. I really wanted to be in good hands so here is my experience: after we have well spoken about how I wanted the result to look like he convinced me with the perfect implant size! His great knowledge and eye for perfection was always noticeable and this is why I did it with him. The surgery itself was perfect planned, in a very good hospital with a nice big room. And because of doctor Nazim‘s special technic I hadn’t had much pain and I was able to handle my day to day life after 5 days of the surgery. What he did wasn’t just surgery it was more like art. Thank you so much!!
