Breast augmentation is one of the most requested procedures in aesthetic surgery — and one of the most personal. Whether you are looking to restore volume after pregnancy, correct asymmetry, or simply feel more confident in your body, the result depends entirely on the surgeon’s ability to listen, plan, and execute with precision.
Dr. Leonard Nenad Josipovic is a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing at Seline Clinic, Umm Suqeim, Dubai. He combines international surgical training with a patient-first approach to deliver natural, proportional outcomes tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Clinical studies show that 91.1% of patients report improved self-esteem following breast augmentation, with approximately 70% reporting high long-term satisfaction with their results (Source: PubMed). The procedure is well-established, safe, and highly customisable — but it must be right for your anatomy and your goals.
If you recognise yourself in several of the above points, you are likely a good candidate. The next step is a consultation with Dr. Leonard, where he will assess your anatomy in person and give you an honest view of what is achievable — before any decision is made.
There is no single profile for a breast augmentation patient. Women choose this procedure at different life stages and for different reasons — to enhance what they have, to restore what they have lost, or to correct something that has always bothered them. What matters is that the decision is yours, and that the procedure is right for your body.
Dr. Leonard works exclusively with FDA-approved, internationally certified implant systems. Every option is discussed in detail during your consultation — the goal is always a result that looks and feels natural to your specific body.
The global standard for breast augmentation. Modern cohesive silicone gel implants offer a soft, natural feel and maintain their shape long-term. FDA-approved and available in a range of profiles and sizes to suit different anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Round implants create fullness across the upper and lower pole of the breast. Versatile and well-suited to patients seeking defined projection or décolletage enhancement.
Filled with sterile salt water, saline implants are an alternative to silicone for select patients. They require a smaller incision and, in the event of rupture, are safely absorbed by the body. Dr. Leonard will advise whether saline is appropriate for your case during consultation.
For select patients, combining FDA-approved implants with autologous fat grafting can improve upper pole softness and transition, producing an exceptionally natural result. Candidacy is assessed at consultation.
Breast lipomodelling — also known as breast augmentation with fat transfer — uses the patient’s own fat, harvested via liposuction, to enhance breast volume naturally. It is an ideal option for patients seeking modest, natural enhancement without implants, or those wanting to improve upper pole softness alongside an implant procedure. Dr. Leonard assesses candidacy during consultation based on available donor fat and desired volume increase.
Preservé™ is a next-generation breast augmentation technique developed by Motiva that fundamentally changes how implants are placed. Rather than cutting through breast tissue or the pectoral muscle to create a pocket, Preservé uses a patented balloon expansion system to gently displace the tissue and form the implant space — preserving the breast’s natural structures throughout.
The procedure uses Motiva Ergonomix2 implants, which adapt their shape to your body’s position — round when lying down, teardrop-shaped when upright — for a result that moves and feels like natural breast tissue.Preservé is not suitable for all patients. It is best suited to those seeking proportional, natural-looking enhancement — typically with implant volumes up to 320cc. Dr. Leonard will assess your anatomy during consultation and advise whether Preservé is the right approach for your goals.
Incision location and implant position are chosen based on your anatomy, implant type, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Leonard will explain his recommended approach clearly before any decision is made.
Inframammary
A small incision made in the natural fold underneath the breast
The most commonly used approach. Allows precise implant positioning and pocket control. The resulting scar sits in the breast crease and is effectively hidden even in swimwear.
Periareolar
A curved incision along the lower edge of the areola, where the darker skin meets the surrounding tissue
Well-suited to patients with adequate areola size. The scar blends naturally into the colour transition of the areola and is largely invisible once healed.
Transaxillary
An incision placed within the natural crease of the armpit
Leaves no scar on the breast itself. Requires a specialist technique and is best suited to specific implant types and patient anatomy. Dr. Leonard will advise on suitability during consultation.
Breast implants used by Dr. Leonard are exclusively FDA-approved and sourced from internationally certified manufacturers. Every implant recommended is chosen based on your anatomy, tissue quality, and aesthetic goals — not personal preference or commercial arrangement.
Modern breast implants are subject to rigorous safety standards. They are not lifetime devices — regular monitoring is recommended and replacement is sometimes necessary over time. Dr. Leonard discusses implant longevity, monitoring protocols, and long-term considerations during consultation so that every patient makes a fully informed decision.
A detailed, no-pressure clinical conversation. Dr. Leonard reviews your medical history, assesses breast tissue, chest wall, and skin quality, and walks you through implant options. 3D visualisation support is available where applicable. You leave with a clear picture of what is possible for your anatomy.
Stop smoking at least 4 weeks before surgery. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements. Maintain a stable weight in the weeks leading up to your procedure. Arrange transport and support for the first 24–48 hours post-operatively. Fast for the required period before your surgery date.
Performed under general anaesthesia at a DHA-licensed facility, taking 1–2 hours. Dr. Leonard creates the pocket, positions the FDA-approved implant with precision, and closes incisions in layers to support long-term scar healing. You are monitored in recovery before same-day discharge or an overnight stay.
Most patients return to light daily activity within 5–7 days and desk work within 1–2 weeks. Exercise and heavy lifting restricted for 4–6 weeks. Final results visible as swelling subsides over 3–6 months, with implants settling fully over several months.
Day 1–3
Tightness, swelling, mild discomfort; rest and light movement advised
Day 4–7
Significant comfort improvement; light daily activity resumable
Week 2
Most patients return to desk work; surgical bra worn full-time
Week 4–6
Swelling reducing; implants beginning to soften and settle
Week 6+
Exercise and upper body activity cleared by Dr. Leonard
Breast augmentation is only as good as the surgeon performing it. The difference between a natural, proportional result and one that looks or feels wrong comes down to surgical judgment, implant knowledge, and an eye for anatomy. Dr. Leonard brings all three — along with specialist training in aesthetic breast surgery across two continents.
Certified by the German Board of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery — one of the most rigorous certification standards in Europe, covering the full spectrum of aesthetic and reconstructive breast procedures.
Medical education at Goethe University Frankfurt, with specialist training at UCLA and Imperial College London — institutions at the forefront of modern breast surgery technique.
Dr. Leonard has performed breast augmentation procedures across Europe and the Middle East, developing a depth of technique and aesthetic sensibility that informs every implant recommendation he makes.
Dr. Leonard performs breast augmentation at Seline Clinic in Jumeirah and selected accredited surgical facilities in Dubai, including Mubadala Health Dubai — part of the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi network. Your surgical location will be confirmed at consultation.
Results matter. But so does the experience of getting there.
In this video, one of Dr. Leonard’s breast augmentation patients in Dubai shares her journey — from her first consultation at Seline Clinic through to her final results. She speaks honestly about the process, the care she received, and how her results have changed the way she feels.
Every breast augmentation performed by Dr. Leonard is individually planned around each patient’s anatomy, proportions, and personal goals. The result you see in this video is not a template — it is a personal outcome designed specifically for her.
Genuine experience shared with full patient consent in accordance with DHA guidelines
Proportionate enhancement tailored to individual anatomy — never a one-size-fits-all approach
Every consultation and procedure carried out by Dr. Leonard himself — from start to finish
Real patients. Real results. Every procedure performed personally by Dr. Leonard.
The following results are from patients who underwent Breast Augmentation with Dr. Leonard in Dubai. Each case was individually planned and performed by Dr. Leonard personally, with a focus on natural, proportionate
outcomes rather than dramatic transformation. Results vary depending on the areas treated, the patient’s anatomy, and their post-operative care. All images are shared with full patient consent in accordance with DHA guidelines.
The cost of breast augmentation in Dubai varies depending on the implant type selected, the surgical technique, whether additional procedures are
combined, and the complexity of your individual case. Factors that influence the overall cost include the implant brand and type, the surgical technique used — whether standard, Preservé, or fat transfer — the surgical facility and anaesthesia fees, and any post-operative care requirements. Dr. Leonard provides a detailed, personalised cost breakdown during your consultation — after assessing your anatomy and treatment goals. There are no hidden fees and no obligation to proceed after your consultation.

Everything you need to know before booking your consultation.
They are the same procedure. “Boob job” is the common informal name for breast augmentation surgery (augmentation mammoplasty) — a surgical procedure using implants or fat transfer to enhance breast size, shape, or symmetry.
Implant size is determined through a structured consultation process using your chest measurements, existing breast tissue, skin laxity, and stated goals. Sizers and 3D simulation tools may be used. Dr. Leonard will guide the recommendation — it is not chosen from a catalogue.
Round implants create fullness across the whole breast, including the upper pole, enhancing projection and cleavage. Teardrop (anatomical) implants follow the natural breast slope for a subtler, more graduated profile. The right choice depends on your anatomy and desired outcome.
Silicone gel implants are the most widely used globally and tend to feel more natural. Saline implants are an alternative for select patients and have a different safety profile in the event of rupture. Dr. Leonard will advise which is appropriate for your specific case during consultation.
Modern FDA-approved implants are not lifetime devices, though many remain in excellent condition well beyond 10–15 years. Dr. Leonard will discuss implant longevity, monitoring, and what the replacement process involves so you can make a fully informed decision.
Temporary sensitivity changes are common in the weeks following surgery. Permanent loss of sensation is possible but uncommon. This risk is discussed in full during your pre-operative consultation.
Many women breastfeed successfully after breast augmentation. The procedure may affect milk production depending on incision site and implant placement. If breastfeeding is a priority, discuss this with Dr. Leonard so that technique choices are made accordingly.
Capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue that naturally forms around an implant tightens and hardens, potentially distorting the shape of the breast. Dr. Leonard uses surgical techniques and, where appropriate, advanced implant systems specifically designed to minimise this risk.
All approaches involve incisions and therefore scars. With the inframammary approach, scars sit within the natural fold beneath the breast and are effectively concealed. Dr. Leonard uses layered closure techniques to support optimal healing, and scars typically fade significantly over 12–18 months.
Yes. Most commonly combined with a breast lift (mastopexy) where significant volume loss and sagging are both present. It can also be planned alongside other body contouring procedures. Dr. Leonard will advise on what can be safely combined in a single anaesthetic episode.
If your nipples sit at or below the breast fold, or there is significant skin laxity, implants alone may not achieve the result you want. Dr. Leonard assesses this during consultation and will only recommend a mastopexy if it is clinically appropriate — he will not suggest additional procedures unless they are genuinely needed.
Breast augmentation performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in a DHA-licensed facility is a well-established, safe procedure. Dr. Leonard operates within fully regulated environments at Seline Clinic and Mubadala Health Dubai, with complete pre- and post-operative care protocols in place.
The first step is a conversation — not a commitment.
Every Breast Augmentation journey with Dr. Leonard begins with a personal, one-to-one consultation. During this
appointment, Dr. Leonard will assess your areas of concern, answer every question you have, and give you an honest, clinical opinion on what is achievable for your specific anatomy and goals. There is no obligation to proceed — only the information you need to make the right decision for yourself.
Consultations available at Seline Clinic, Jumeirah and Mubadala Health Dubai, Jumeirah Beach Road.
