Breast augmentation
This procedure aims to help patients who may feel that their breasts did not develop to the desired size or they may have lost volume due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Breast augmentation may provide a more flattering, better proportioned figure, expanded clothing options, and feelings of greater confidence and self-esteem.
Proceidure time:
The procedure lasts in average 45 minutes.
How does the procedure work?
Surgery is usually performed under general aenesthesia and will take approximately 45 minutes.
The skin over the surgical site will be cleaned with a sterile (antiseptic) solution. An incision is made and the pocket prepared, over or under the muscle, to accommodate the implant. The incision will be closed using resorbable stitches.
After surgery you will be taken from the operating room to a recovery area. You will be watched until you have recovered from the anaesthesia. After about 3/4 hours you should be able to leave.
Post operative:
The post-operative breast augmentation involves a support bra (sport type) that must be worn for 3-4 weeks. In the case of submuscular placement of the prostheses, an elastic band will be placed over the breast to prevent the implants from dislocating upwards. Interruption of work: suspend work for 15 days Interruption of sports activity: 6/8 weeks. Antibiotic therapy for 7 days.
