Abstract

Background: Aesthetic breast surgery is among the most rapidly expanding and widely sought-after fields within cosmetic plastic surgery. However, data on implant-based breast augmentation using synthetic materials in Vietnam remain limited. Objectives: To assess the surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction following breast augmentation with silicone gel implants. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 65 female patients who underwent implant-based breast augmentation using silicone gel implants at the Department of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, Cho Ray Hospital from 01/2024 to 05/2025. Results: The mean operative time was 52.69 ± 4.28 minutes, with the inframammary incision being the most commonly used approach (93.8%). At 6 months postoperatively, there was a statistically significant increase in anthropometric breast measurements compared to preoperative values (p < 0.001). Most patients experienced no postoperative complications (98.5%), reported minimal pain (78.5%), and the majority expressed high satisfaction with the surgical outcomes (84.6%). Conclusion: Implant-based breast augmentation demonstrated substantial improvements in breast morphology, with a low complication rate and high patient satisfaction, thereby supporting the safety and efficacy of this technique in clinical aesthetic practice in Vietnam.
