5 Best Clinics in Singapore for Breast Augmentation for 2025

Asian women are typically less endowed compared to Latinas or Westerners when it comes to breast size. This is why medical interventions have become popular in Asian countries like Korea, Japan, and Singapore.

If you are considering having your breasts enhanced, here is a helpful guide to aid you in your decision and help you choose among the best clinics for breast augmentation in Singapore.

This guide contains essential information that you need to know before going under the knife.

WHAT ARE THE TRENDS IN BREAST AUGMENTATION IN SINGAPORE?

In the past, women who sought breast augmentation went for bigger boobs as these were considered more attractive.

However, in recent years, a more natural look has become more preferred among beauty seekers.

Doctors also recommend that the augmented breast size should match the overall physique of the patient.

WHAT IS BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to enhance the size or change the shape and texture of a woman’s breasts. This is done either through breast implants or fat transfer.

WHAT IS FAT TRANSFER?

Fat transfer is a breast enhancing procedure that involves removing fat from other parts of the patient’s body and transferring it to the breast.

This method is suitable for patients who do not need a drastic increase in breast size. It is also an excellent way to remove excess fats from your body!

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BREAST IMPLANTS IN SINGAPORE?

There are two types of breast implants available in Singapore: silicone-filled implants and saline-filled implants.

Silicone implants are made of plastic gels in silicone casings.

On the other hand, saline implants are silicone casings filled with saline solution or sterilized salt water.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT SHAPES OF BREAST IMPLANT?

Breast implants can be round or teardrop-shaped.

Round implants make your breasts appear fuller and are less likely to move out of place.

Teardrop-shaped implants look firmer and more natural.

WHAT IMPLANT SHAPE AND SIZE ARE USUALLY CHOSEN BY PATIENTS IN SINGAPORE?

Teardrop-shaped silicone-filled implant is the most popular choice among breast augmentation patients in Singapore.

Compared to saline-filled implants, silicone implants feel more natural and are less prone to wrinkling.

As for size, it is not advisable to go beyond 2 cup sizes for breast enhancement.

WHAT ARE THE BRANDS OF BREAST IMPLANTS AVAILABLE IN SINGAPORE?

There are 3 popular brands of breast implants that are commonly available in Singapore. These are Motiva, Mentor, and Natrelle.

WHAT TYPES OF INCISIONS ARE USED IN BREAST AUGMENTATION IN SINGAPORE?

Depending on the kind of implant and the body shape of the patient, breast implants can be inserted through four types of incisions:

Trans-axillary incision or through the armpit
Periareolar incision or through the areola
Inframammary incision or through the breast’s base
Trans-umbilical incision or through the navel area

HOW BIG IS THE SCAR FROM BREAST AUGMENTATION?

The length of the scar after breast augmentation varies depending on the size of the implant and the type of incision that was performed. These can be between 3 to 4.5 centimetres long.

WHAT TYPES OF ANAESTHESIA ARE OFTEN USED DURING BREAST AUGMENTATION IN SINGAPORE?

Patients can choose between 3 types of anaesthesia during the procedure.

Local anaesthesia is used to numb only the breast area while the patient stays awake.

General anaesthesia puts you to sleep throughout the surgery.

Sedation can be characterized as mild general anaesthesia where patients retain consciousness while in a very sleepy state but do not feel pain.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET RECOVERED FROM BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Full recovery from breast augmentation takes about 2 to 4 weeks.

You can go home right after surgery and go back to the clinic for stitch removal after 2 weeks.

You can already start doing non-strenuous tasks within 3 days after the procedure.

HOW MUCH DOES BREAST AUGMENTATION COST IN SINGAPORE?

Breast augmentation cost often ranges from $10,000 to $16,000.

HOW IS THE BREAST AUGMENTATION COST CALCULATED?

Breast augmentation cost is made up of different types of costs. The below table shows the charges often seen in a typical breast augmentation bill.

Fees	Amount
Consultation	$200+
Anaesthesia	$1,800+
Breast implants	$2000+
Breast implant procedure	$8000+
Day surgery facilities use	$1000+
Breast band	$200+
Medications	$200+
Total	$13,400+

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A CLINIC IN SINGAPORE FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION?

The most important thing to consider when choosing a clinic for breast augmentation is the accreditation of the cosmetic surgeon. Make sure that your doctor has a proper license if you don’t want to end up with an unlicensed practice surgeon.

It also helps to read up on feedback from past patients.

Here are the 5 best clinics in Singapore for breast augmentation.

STD Tests in Singapore: Top Clinics and Costs for 2025

It is time to go for an STD check-up if there is any symptom at the genital part. No symptoms at all? Screening is still needed if you are in a new sexual relationship or have had casual sex.

SDC is the clinic to book an appointment if cost is your concern. This subsidised clinic offers a full range of STD test at affordable prices.

Too shy to engage service at an STD specialised institution? No worries! There are alternatives. At those places called “family clinics” where family planning and pregnancy caring are on offer, the STD screening is often available.

In our list, you will find both the specialised and the alternative options.

5 Best MOH Approved Clinics in Singapore for Abortion for 2025

It is not easy for someone to make up her mind to get an abortion. But if that is the best solution in the individual’s circumstances, Singapore’s Obstetrics and Gynaecology doctors are always ready to help.

WHO CAN UNDERGO ABORTION IN SINGAPORE?
It is legal for Singapore citizens of all ages to have an abortion. Foreigners who have been in Singapore for at least 4 months can also undergo the abortion procedure.

IS COUNSELLING MANDATORY?
Yes. Abortion counselling and watching a video on the topic are mandatory.

Both medical and surgical abortion can only take place at least 48 hours after the counselling. This 48-hour gap is there as the “thinking time”, giving women a chance to withdraw if there is a change of mind.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ABORTION?
There are two main types of abortion: medical abortion and surgical abortion.

Medical abortion is the method of using medication to end a pregnancy. It is safe and effective for the termination of pregnancies under 8 weeks.

Surgical abortion involves the use of a suction machine to remove the tissue from the uterus. This method is effective for the termination of pregnancies up to 14 weeks.

WHERE CAN ABORTION BE DONE?
Abortion pills can be taken at the clinic or at home.

Surgical abortion of pregnancy under 12 weeks can be done on the premises of the clinic.

Surgical abortion of pregnancy from 13 to 24 weeks must be done at a hospital.

HOW THE ABORTION COST CALCULATED?
Abortion costs can be broken down into:

Initial consultation fee
Blood test fee
Ultrasound scan fee
Medication fee
Anaesthetic fee
Procedure fee
Ward fee
Post review fee

WHAT ARE THE ABORTION COSTS IN SINGAPORE?
Abortion costs may vary based on the pregnancy stage and the woman’s general health. Typically, the more advanced the pregnancy, the higher the cost of the procedure.

The costs of an abortion in a public hospital range from $750 to $2000. Do note that a referral from a polyclinic is required to engage this service at a public hospital. The average waiting time for an appointment at a public hospital is one to two weeks.

Abortion costs at a private clinic range from $1000 to $4500. The advantage of getting an abortion service at a private clinic is that women can save on the waiting time. In many cases, this helps save money because the extended waiting time allows the pregnancy to advance in the stage.

Singaporeans can use Medisave ($900 – $1050) to cover the abortion cost at a private clinic.

WHAT ARE THE BEST PRIVATE ABORTION CLINICS IN SINGAPORE?
Listed below are the 5 best MOH-Approved clinics offering abortion services for pregnancies up to 24 weeks.

7 Best IVF Centres in Singapore for Foreigners for 2025

Singapore is the right choice if you are looking for an overseas medical destination with the latest assisted productive technologies. Since 1982, Singapore fertility specialists have been successful in their IVF programs, resulting in Asia’s first IVF baby born in the country in 1983. In the recent decade, Singapore is a trusted destination for couples with infertility issues, especially those with complicated medical conditions.

In Singapore, IVF services are available at both public and private hospitals. Currently, there are 3 public fertility centres (operated by the three major public hospitals) and around 8 private fertility centres (situated at major private hospitals and medical centres).

A public fertility centre is often the priority of Singaporean couples who are struggling with infertility. It is simply because Singaporeans can get up to 75% of the costs co-funded by the government when being treated at a public hospital. This subsidy scheme doesn’t apply to non-citizens, so you have to pay the full price no matter what kind of hospital you choose. For that reason, patients from surrounding countries tend to seek treatment at Singapore’s private hospitals to enjoy better customer services and a shorter waiting time to see a specialist.

In this article, there are 4 private and 3 public fertility centres recommended. Please note that not all of them are located on the premises of a hospital. Thomson Fertility Centre and Virtus Fertility Centre are the two private institutes sitting at medical centres outside a hospital.

When a fertility centre is hospital-based, you can expect that all the IVF procedures that need sedation will be done in the hospital it sits in. But when it is situated outside a hospital, egg retrieval and embryo transfer procedures will be performed at one of the hospitals in the city.

Despite this, all the private centres are large-scale, equipped with the latest technologies and the most experienced fertility specialist. Mount Elizabeth Fertility Centre has long been famous as a reliable destination for overseas couples with complicated medical conditions. 3 out of 4 private centres in this list are located in the Orchard area, making it convenient to arrange accommodation, get around, and enjoy other services Singapore has to offer.

5 Best IVF Centres for Singaporean Couples for 2025

IVF is never an easy journey. But it is one of the most worth-trying journeys one can take in life. If you are going to embark on it then read our guide to find out all the must-knows.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING AN IVF CLINIC:

Success rate: IVF success rate is a must-ask while looking around to find the right fertility clinic. It is important because the proven success rates ensure the chance of achieving your dream of having a baby. The higher the clinical pregnancy rates, the higher your chance of getting pregnant.

Specialist: There are clinics where the specialist is the one who manages the patient treatment every step of the way. There are also clinics where only the important tasks are taken care of by the specialist, the rest is left in the hands of the team’s healthcare professionals. So, make sure you know who will manage your treatment to ensure that you are provided with continuity of care and the best possible chance to solve your issue.

Location: To many couples, IVF treatment is a hard and long journey to take. It requires couples to travel back and forth between home and the clinic often. So, make sure the fertility clinic you go with is located in a convenient location to save you time and hassle.

STEPS TO EXPECT DURING IVF:

Pituitary suppression: Your natural cycle is suppressed with the use of medication (GnRH agonist/antagonist).
Ovarian stimulation: A fertility hormone (FSH) is injected daily for between 9 to 14 days to encourage the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual.

Pregnancy test: Your pregnancy blood test is due about 14 days after the embryo transfer.
