Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery usually lasts about two to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, an incision is made under the breast in the natural fold of the breast or around the lower edge of the nipple. Implants filled with silicone gel are placed under the breast tissue or under the muscle, and most often partially under the gland and partially under the muscle, depending on what size or shape is desired.

Women opt for breast augmentation to improve their appearance in a way that helps boost self-confidence or reduce self-criticism. The most common reasons are; • Breasts did not develop to the desired size after puberty. • Larger breasts achieve balance in relation to a stronger/more developed lower part of the body and give the appearance of an hourglass. • Breasts are pointed, flat or of some other shape that does not suit the patient. • Breast reduction after weight loss or pregnancy/breastfeeding. • Decreased strength due to physical changes such as aging. • Breast asymmetry in terms of size or shape. • Breast reconstruction after preventive removal in order to prevent the occurrence of cancer.

The recovery time required after breast augmentation depends on the procedure performed and on the patient. Most of the patients need help during the first and second day, after that they can usually take care of themselves, but there is a possibility that they need help taking care of smaller children. Patients can function normally on the second day after the procedure, but it depends on the person and the condition.

That is one of the most important questions. We always try to satisfy the wishes of the patients regarding the size if it is within achievable limits. Breast beauty is not determined by size, but by nipple position, tissue tension and fullness in all directions. At a clinic, we offer the possibility of consultations with the VECTRA 3D device, which allows you to display 3D simulations of how they might look after the procedure. The high resolution of the recording ensures a realistic display down to the smallest details, and the final result will be very similar to the simulation that we create together with the patient. In breast surgery, the simulations are based on real implants that we use during the procedure, and which are currently the highest quality implants on the market. VECTRA 3D provides the patient with certainty about the result of the procedure, and for us it is a great indicator of what the patient wants.

Any surgical procedure carries certain risks, such as the risks of anaesthesia, infection, bleeding and swelling. These complications occur rarely and can usually be avoided. At a clinic, we have the most modern anaesthesia equipment, which drastically reduces the risk of the operation itself. Thousands of women perform breast augmentation every year successfully and are very satisfied with the results. Our team takes all possible protective measures to minimize any risk. However, very often the responsibility for avoiding risk lies with you. dr. During the consultation, doctor will explain the risks of the operation in detail.

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses implants or your own fat tissue to increase the size and enhance the shape of the breasts.

There are different types of implants available for breast augmentation, including silicone and saline implants. The surgeon will work with you to choose an implant that best suits your desires and body characteristics.

Breast augmentation can affect breastfeeding, especially if the implants are placed beneath the glandular tissue. It is important to discuss your plans for breastfeeding with the surgeon to assess the options and choose the best approach for your goals.

The results of breast augmentation can be long-lasting, but it is not possible to guarantee that they will last forever. Natural aging processes, changes in body weight, and other factors can impact the appearance of the breasts over time. Regularly following the surgeon's recommendations and maintaining a healthy body weight can help preserve the achieved results.

It is common for implants to be replaced after approximately 10-15 years. However, this can vary depending on individual factors and achieved results. It is important to regularly follow the surgeon's advice and schedule periodic check-ups to timely detect any changes or the need for implant replacement.
