Breast Enlargement (or Augmentation) surgery consists of increasing the volume of the breasts, therefore giving a more pleasant shape in proportion with the rest of the body. Breast Augmentation is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic surgery procedures, and has the highest degree of patient satisfaction. It is usually performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 1 hour.

The implants chosen by the Surgeon together with the patient can be placed according to the patient’s needs either through a small incision in the axilla (the armpit), around the areola (nipple) or within the intra-mammary fold (beneath the breast). The implants are placed above or beneath the muscle depending on the patient’s physiology, the effect she is trying to achieve and in discussion with the Surgeon.

During the first week after surgery the patient will need to take things easy and avoid any excessive physical exercise. Normal light activities can start during the 2nd week, and the patient will finally be able to resume heavy lifting/upper body exercise from the 3rd or 4th week. Modern implants, filled with cohesive silicone gel, give excellent results and the highest standards of safety. The surgeon is able to choose from a very wide range of implants with various shapes (anatomical/teardrop shaped or round), volume and consistency of the gel. He/she is therefore able to choose the best possible implant to achieve the “look” that the patient wishes to obtain.

Breast Augmentation helps to improve the size and shape of the female breast. It is the ideal solution for women with small breasts; it can also correct a difference in size between both breasts to improve symmetry; or it can regain fullness to the breasts after breast feeding. With this surgery we are able to increase the size of the breasts by one or more cup sizes by choosing implants from a large range of sizes, shapes and projections to suit each individual.
