Breast enlargement is a procedure that uses an implant to increase the size of the breast and reshape it in the desired way. Breast surgery is performed using an implant selected by the patient and surgeon together. The choice depends on the person’s body type and the desired result.
Feel confident
Breast augmentation surgery is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world. The benefits of breast surgery include the visible aesthetic benefits (beautifully fitting clothes, fuller and more feminine breasts). In addition, feeling good about the way you look and other related emotional benefits (increased self-confidence and higher self-esteem). It is important to emphasise that breast augmentation should always be a woman’s own internal desire, not imposed by external pressure.

Additional information on the procedure
Who is breast surgery suitable for?
The shape and size of the breasts are not only an important part of a woman’s figure, but also an important aspect of a woman’s sexual self-image and self-perception. Women often struggle with emotional discomfort caused by breasts that are too small or otherwise disproportionate in size or shape compared to their overall body shape. While this does not have a direct physical effect, it can have a negative impact on a woman’s self-esteem.
Breast surgery is suitable if:
In addition to congenital breast hypoplasia (underdeveloped mammary glands), women who have given birth and are breastfeeding often also need cosmetic surgery. Women with very small breasts may want more feminine and proportionate breasts. Motherhood is indeed wonderful, but sometimes after breastfeeding, a plastic surgeon’s help may be needed to restore a woman’s former beauty and youthfulness.

What to consider before surgery?
Before surgery, it is necessary to perform a mammogram or ultrasound examination of the breasts to rule out any nodules (ultrasound for those under 35 years old, mammogram for older women), as well as blood tests. Before the planned surgery, you should be in as good health as possible. Smoking must be stopped one month before surgery. Alcohol consumption should also be kept to a minimum. Under no circumstances should you use aspirin or similar medications for at least 14 days before surgery (as they have a blood-thinning effect). We also do not recommend taking products containing omega-3 before the surgery. It is recommended to plan for seven to ten days off for recovery after the surgery, as movement is initially limited after the surgery. It is also a good idea to allow yourself sufficient rest to recover comfortably.
Hospital stay
Generally, you will have to spend one night in the hospital after the surgery, under the supervision of experienced hospital staff.
Anaesthesia
Breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthesia, which means that the patient does not feel any part of the surgery. Before surgery, the anaesthesiologist conducts the necessary examinations and discussions to ensure safety during the operation.
How is the surgery performed?
The surgery takes about 30-60 minutes. The exact technique depends on the patient’s anatomical characteristics and personal preferences, as well as the surgeon’s recommendations. Ultimately, the operating surgeon decides on the methodology, but the patient’s personal preferences are always taken into account.
In general, the procedure is as follows: a 4-5 cm incision is made under the breast, as discreetly as possible. The incision is followed by the creation of a pocket for the implant behind the mammary gland or muscle. The selected implant is placed in the pocket and the wounds are closed with dissolvable sutures.
After breast surgery
The breasts are painful in the first few days because they are tight due to the implants. As a result, normal mobility (especially of the upper body) is limited and the doctor will prescribe painkillers if necessary. The sutures dissolve naturally, though some knots may need to be removed starting from the 14th day.
At first, the wound is red and hard to the touch, but after a few months it becomes lighter and blends with the rest of the skin. You can usually start using special scar-healing ointments after about four weeks. Be sure to protect the wound from the sun for at least six months.
Depending on how you feel, you can start doing lighter daily activities after a few days. Breast augmentation, like any other surgery, is a traumatic experience for the body, which is why exercise is allowed after six weeks.
Initially, you should also wear a special supportive bra. The surgeon will usually tell you the exact time for wearing it. Generally, it is recommended to wear it 24 hours a day for four weeks, followed by another few weeks for 12 hours a day. Often, the patient will also have to wear a special strap on the upper part of the breasts to help the implants settle into the correct position and sink sufficiently. The need and duration of wearing this strap are always determined by the doctor individually.
Although the successful result of the surgery is visible almost immediately, the final result still takes up to six months to develop. Initially, the breast may feel hard, but over time it will become soft and more natural again. Due to the hypersensitivity of the nipples, nipple protection may be necessary. It may take months to regain normal sensitivity.
