Breast implants. Which type of implant to choose?

Is breast augmentation a good choice for you?

You may be a candidate for breast augmentation if you:

• are not satisfied with the current size of your breasts
• have asymmetrical breasts
• are in good health
• have realistic expectations of the surgeon
• want to feel more confident about your appearance

What does breast augmentation surgery involve?

Breast augmentation is done by inserting silicone implants that can be placed under the muscle or under the mammary gland. Breast augmentation is not recommended for those under 18 years of age, or for at least 6 months after childbirth.

Surgical breast augmentation is a procedure that takes about 3 hours on average and can be performed by inserting:

• Silicone implants
• A fat tissue transfer
• Aqua filling gel

A silicone implant or fat tissue from your body is surgically inserted behind each of the patient's breasts. The implants are inserted behind the chest muscle or behind the tissue of the natural breasts. Depending on the size and type of silicone implants you have chosen, our team of plastic surgery specialists will decide which incision is most suitable for your surgery. The doctor makes all decisions about the position of the incision and the placement of the silicone implants in agreement with you, after detailed consultations.

What types of incisions are there?

There are 3 types of incision for breast augmentation or implant placement:

• inframammary (an incision under the breast)
• transaxillary (an incision under the armpit)
• periareolar (an incision in the tissue around the nipples)

What shape of silicone implants should I choose?

There are two shapes of silicone implants: rounded (anatomical) or round breast implants. Before choosing the shape of the silicone implants, it is always advisable to first consult with our plastic surgery specialist.

What do silicone implants look like?

The implants are mostly soft, flexible and made of silicone. They are filled with saline solution or silicone.

How to choose the right implant size?

The final size is mostly a personal decision of the patient. Before surgery and making the final decision on how it will be done and with which implants, an examination by a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery is necessary. At that first examination, the doctor will listen to your wishes regarding the shape and size of breasts you want. Depending on the woman's constitution, our doctors offer suggestions about the solution that would be best and that, in the case of an inappropriate, excessive implant volume, could lead to strain. During the examination, the doctor takes into account how much breast tissue already exists. The most accurate method of assessing implant size can also be done at home. It is enough to fill a plastic bag with measured amounts of water and place them in a bra. Photos of the breasts the patient wants can certainly help the surgeon in giving final advice.

How long does the surgery - silicone implant placement - take?

Breast augmentation surgery takes about an hour, is performed under general anesthesia and is painless. The surgeons make the incision along natural folds or edges of the skin - under the breasts themselves, around the nipples or in the armpit.

What anesthesia is given before surgery?

The breast augmentation procedure is mostly performed under general anesthesia, so the patient does not feel any pain.

How long does recovery take after silicone implant placement?

After surgery, lifting heavy loads is not recommended during the first month. During the same period, a specially designed bra is worn, and after that patients return to their usual lifestyle.
