Breast Augmentation: A Surgical Procedure to Enhance Breast Volume
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast volume and improve their shape. Many women choose this procedure for various reasons, such as correcting breast asymmetry, post-mastectomy reconstruction, or simply achieving a more harmonious and proportionate silhouette.
The available options for breast augmentation include breast implants and lipofilling. Both methods can deliver satisfying aesthetic results, each offering specific characteristics that may influence the choice based on individual needs and expectations.
Breast Implants
Breast implants are prostheses inserted beneath the mammary gland or pectoral muscle to increase breast volume. At Clinic Nobel, we use MENTOR round breast implants, known for their quality and durability. These silicone implants contain cohesive silicone gel that mimics the consistency of natural breast tissue, providing a realistic feel and natural appearance. Round implants offer a harmonious shape and are particularly effective for adding volume to the upper part of the breast.
One of the main advantages of breast implants is that results are visible immediately after the procedure. Additionally, a wide range of implant sizes and shapes allows for personalized results tailored to the patient’s desires. Modern implants are designed to last for many years, though regular follow-ups are necessary to monitor their condition.
At Clinic Nobel, we favor an incision technique through the nipple. This approach minimizes visible scars by placing the incision around the areola, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing result.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling, or autologous fat transfer, is an alternative technique that uses the patient’s own fat to increase breast volume. The fat is harvested through liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips. After purification, this fat is reinjected into the breasts.
This method offers several benefits. Lipofilling achieves very natural results since it uses the patient’s own tissue, reducing the risks of complications such as rejection or allergic reactions. In addition to enhancing breast volume, lipofilling provides the dual aesthetic benefit of removing excess fat from donor areas.
However, it is important to note that lipofilling may not achieve the same significant volume increase as breast implants. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired volume, and some of the injected fat may be absorbed by the body, necessitating touch-ups to maintain results.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
Breast augmentation surgery at Clinic Nobel is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient’s comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
- Preoperative consultation: prior to the procedure, a detailed consultation is conducted to evaluate the patient’s expectations, select the appropriate technique, and plan the surgery. The surgeon explains the different stages of the procedure and addresses all the patient’s questions;
- Preparation and anesthesia: on the day of the surgery, the patient is admitted to the clinic and prepared for the operation. The anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia, allowing the patient to remain asleep and pain-free throughout the procedure;
- Incision and implant insertion: for breast implants, the surgeon makes a discreet incision around the areola to minimize visible scars. The implants are inserted beneath the mammary gland or pectoral muscle, depending on the patient’s morphology and preferences;
- Breast lift: if a breast lift is required, excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped to achieve a more youthful and firm appearance. This procedure can be combined with implant placement for optimal results;
- Breast reduction: in cases of breast reduction, excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin are removed to decrease breast volume. This procedure is aimed at patients who wish to reduce the size of their breasts for aesthetic or comfort reasons;
- Breast lipofilling: for lipofilling, fat is harvested via liposuction from another part of the body, purified, and then reinjected into the breasts. This technique offers a natural result using the patient’s own tissue;
- Closure and dressings: after the procedure, the incisions are sutured, and dressings are applied to protect the operated areas. Temporary drains may be placed to remove fluids and reduce the risk of hematomas.
After the surgery, the patient remains under observation at the clinic for 1 or 2 nights, allowing medical staff to monitor recovery and manage any potential postoperative pain. Light activities can typically be resumed after 3 to 4 days, although precautions should be taken to avoid intense physical exertion during the first few weeks following the procedure.
The medical team at Clinic Nobel ensures comprehensive postoperative follow-up to guarantee optimal healing and satisfying aesthetic results. Follow-up consultations are scheduled to monitor progress and address any questions or concerns the patient may have.
