Breast augmentation

Many women are not satisfied with their breasts, because sometimes they are naturally smaller, or during the time of puberty, the glandular development of breast tissue develops asymmetrically, so one of the breasts may be significantly larger than the other. It often happens that women experience psychological discomfort when, after giving birth, losing weight or over the years, the shape of their beautiful breasts changes.

The breast augmentation surgery is one of those procedures that helped thousands of women around the world achieve beautiful breasts and trust themselves.

Here are some of the procedures we offer:

DO I NEED BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY?

The surgery is perfect for women with relatively smaller, saggy breasts, and realistic expectations.

Breast enhancement is recommended when your breasts are fully developed and you feel discomfort because of the breast size, or your breasts have lost their shape, fullness and volume, or they are asymmetrical, one or both breasts are not fully developed naturally or they are long in shape.

 BEFORE THE PROCEDURE

Breast augmentation is a very common surgery, with the highest rate of patient satisfaction, but, as before any other operation, it is necessary to clearly discuss all the details, the potential risks and post-operative period with a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Our plastic surgeons  will be happy to advise you.

The desired breast size is the main condition of the desired aesthetic result when choosing breast implants. Accurate breast base measurement is the main starting point for choosing the volume and size of breast implants. An open conversation about the desired cleavage with the selected surgeon is another important aspect. You can also discuss about the desired fullness of the upper breast area or how breasts will look while wearing certain clothes or swimsuit. You may need to discuss the asymmetry of the breasts and various aspects which include nipples.

Breast implants can be round, oval or contour shape, several different sizes and projections. To increase the fullness of the breast upper part – implants with round shape are used, and to give fullness in the lower part of the breasts and to mimic the natural breast shape – implants with oval or teardrop shape are used.

Our partners in plastic surgery perform breast augmentation surgeries using the products from verified and certified manufacturers only, such as Motiva, Polytech, and Mentor. Patients are offered a selection of sizes ranging from the low- and moderate- to high- and extra high-profile implants (225 to 700+ ml).

Breast enhancement and silicone implants: what do I need to know?

• Round-shaped breast implants: Delicate women may fear that breast enlargement using these implants will result in unnaturally-looking breasts. However, with proper selection of the implant profile (protrusion) and size ratio, the enhanced breasts look nice. This type of implants is particularly suitable when the upper pole of the breast has lost its volume.
• Anatomically-shapes breast implants: These teardrop-shaped implants are particularly suitable when there is a lack of fullness in the lower breast pole.
• Ergonomic-profile implants: The filler of these implants flexibly adapts to the body position and, therefore, perfectly reproduces the natural characteristics of the breast. Based on plastic surgeon and patient feedback on breast augmentation results, these implants are the ‘golden middle.’
• Round- or anatomically-shaped breast implants with a polyurethane coating: They do not differ in shape from implants with conventional coating. The unique feature is that they are not noticeable after the breast augmentation surgery and the special coating reduces the risk of possible complications. Therefore, these implants are recommended for patients who have experienced postoperative complications or want faster implant ‘consolidation’ with body tissues.

After the patient arrives at the clinic following the initial online communication, the plastic surgeon will make precise measurements and will further discuss with you the details and evaluate the scope of the surgery, and will suggest the right size of the implants or offer a complex solution.

DURING THE PROCEDURE

Breast augmentation surgery, which may take between 1 and 3 hours, is performed under general anaesthesia. The plastic surgeon, taking into consideration the expected result, will select the most suitable surgical method and the location of the incision site (below the mammary glands, in the armpits or in the nipple area). The patient has to stay in the clinic for one day following the breast augmentation surgery.

During the procedure an incision is made on the area through which the implant will be placed. You select the most suitable incision for you with a surgeon, considering the lowest possibility of the scarring and individual breast structure.

AFTER THE PROCEDURE

Postoperative phase of the healing process depends on the patient’s personal characteristics and other variable factors. During the first 48 hours you are likely to feel pain, the body temperature and swelling can rise up, which will disappear later on.

Typically, a day after the surgery the patient stays in the clinic and medical professional postoperative care is ensured. If everything is going smoothly and you are feeling good after the first day – you can go to the hotel. On the first day you can feel stronger pain which will gradually decrease and later on there will be only an ache. For some time, your breasts will be more sensitive, particularly in the nipple area. Do not be surprised if your breasts will be swollen and firmer than usual, it is normal. The stitches will be removed and your postoperative health condition will be evaluated one week after the surgery. Further visits to the surgeon should take place after 1 month and then after half a year, so that the surgeon would make sure that everything is going smoothly.  If you work in sedentary, inactive work – you will be able to return back a week after the surgery. You will be able to do physical activity and exercises after 4-6 weeks.

Since the results are visible right after the surgery, no doubt, that the recovery period will be pleasant and certainly will not take long. The final effect of the surgery is visible after three months.

Evens like this can appear after the surgery: hematoma, pain, swelling, infection and nipple sensitivity.

Complications are rare, one of the possible – bleeding near the implant during the first days. Connective capsule of the tissue could also form, which could deform the implant. It usually happens when the implant is formed under the gland. All complications can be corrected.
