Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation - Augmentation Mammoplasty

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty is one of the most common procedures to increase breast size. It involves placing breast implants under breast tissue or chest muscles.

Breast implants are placed surgically. The most common reasons for this procedure are:

• Breast augmentation, or improvement of breast contour
• Breast reconstruction after mastectomy
• Replacing old implants
• Correction of congenital deformity
• Correction of breast asymmetry

The procedure is performed in 1.5 hours, under general anesthesia.

The breast implant is placed under the pectoral muscle, behind the fascia, or the glands. Depending on the approach, the incision line is thin 3-4cm located under the breast, or can be placed segmentally arched following the line of the areola, or concealed in the crease of the axilla region. A special type of suspension bra is included in the price of the surgery, and it’s recommended as a means of support in the next month after the surgery.

Stitches are removed 2 weeks after the procedure.
