About this procedure
Adding volume with medical silicone implants in people whose breast tissue is small or asymmetrical.
Surgical approach and technique
The approach is through the inframammary crease or around the areola, and the implant is placed subpectorally, subfascially or in the dual plane. The mammary glands are preserved.
Who is it for?
Applicable in women who have completed their physical development and are not content with their breast volume.
Recovery
Daily activities can be resumed within 3-5 days. A medical compression bra is advised for the first month.
Back to desk work: approx. 7 days. Social recovery: approx. 14 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
Do silicone implants prevent breastfeeding?
Implants are placed behind the mammary glands, so they do not harm the ability to breastfeed.
Is there a risk of rupture or leakage?
Current FDA-approved cohesive-gel silicone implants are extremely resistant to impact.
