WHAT IS BREAST AUGMENTATION AND WHO IS IT FOR?

Breast augmentation is for women who are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts. In this case, breast augmentation surgery uses silicone implants to add volume to the breasts or restore breast volume lost after weight loss or pregnancy.

Breast augmentation can increase the size and projection of your breasts, improve your body balance and enhance your self-esteem and self-confidence.

Implants can also be used to reconstruct the breast after mastectomy or other injury.

Surgical procedure

The incision to insert the prosthesis can be made at the level of the areola, the armpit or in the inframammary fold. In our experience, the latter is the best because the scar is almost unnoticeable and the surgical field is better. It involves creating a space behind the mammary gland to place a prosthesis.

When the prosthesis is placed behind the mammary gland, we are talking about retroglandular prostheses and when we place them behind the pectoral muscle, we are talking about retromuscular prostheses.

Some surgeons are in favour of leaving drains in for a few days. With the technique practised at Clínica Luso Espanhola, we don’t consider it necessary to use drains.

real cases

It is possible to achieve the desired volume because there are different shapes and sizes of breast implants. There should be harmony between the volume of the breasts and the size of the chest, so the choice of implants should be discussed and planned with the surgeon.

The final result can be seen almost immediately. It should be borne in mind that after the surgery there is some ‘swelling’, the breasts have a greater volume that will diminish until the final look is achieved (after 3 weeks). The final result is visible after 6 months.

Frequently asked questions

Currently, prostheses come with a lifetime guarantee provided by the brand and the most commonly used are textured silicone prostheses. The shapes and sizes will depend on the patient’s taste or medical indication.

No prospective or retrospective study carried out in the world has demonstrated this relationship with absolute certainty.

In breast augmentation, the scar can be axillary, periareolar or submammary. It rarely exceeds 4 centimetres.

The prostheses can be placed behind the gland or inside the pectoralis major muscle. Each situation has its advantages and disadvantages.

Our clients prefer to have prostheses between 265 and 395cc, although sometimes larger prostheses are also used.
