Breast augmentation surgery is frequently requested and brings both physical and psychological satisfaction. It is more than just having a nice breast or a beautiful silhouette. This operation carries symbolic significance: it is about discovering or rediscovering femininity, it may enhance self-image and self-confidence.

From a technical point of view, implants are made of cohesive silicone gel and can be round, tear-shaped, of any size, form and profile. Incisions are made in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring. You and your plastic surgeon will discuss which incision options are appropriate for the desired outcome. Incision options include: transaxillary incision, periareolar incision, inframammary incision (the axillary way is a popular procedure which has the advantage of incorporating endoscopy technology). The choice of implants and of the method of inserting and positioning them depends on the patient’s desires, on the clinical examination – initial breast shape and form, areolas position and size – on the chest profile and on the surgeon’s recommendations. Implant volume : volume is adjusted to suit the patient’s requirements and morphology (size, thorax width, cutaneous trophicity). When implants are customised to the patient, the final result will be natural and stable over time. Best results are achieved with thick cutaneous layer.

The quality of scars depends on the quality of natural healing (which is beyond control) and on post-operative care. Lipostructure, or self-fat transfer breast augmentation, in conjunction with mastoplexy, will help to resculpt the bust and neckline; it is an alternative to implants.
