Before and after pictures

The breast augmentation procedure

A breast augmentation plasty will positively transform the harmony of your silhouette. Follow your surgeon’s recommendations to optimize the healing process and the quality of the result.

Before the intervention

The first consultation is essential to understand your request and your motivations. Depending on your morphology and your anatomy, your surgeon will determine his operating strategy.

The expected result can be simulated and discussed using our virtual imaging software, which also makes it possible to refine the choice of implants. A preoperative check-up will be carried out in accordance with the prescriptions.

Silicone breast implants

The implants contain a soft, cohesive silicone gel , surrounded by a strong, elastic silicone elastomer shell that prevents the gel from leaking outward.

The new generations of silicone implants are characterized by their great diversity of sizes and shapes, allowing a tailor-made adaptation in accordance with your morphology and your expectations.

The choice of implants is made during the consultation with your cosmetic surgeon, with the support of augmented reality simulation software.

Anesthesia

Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis,under local anaesthetic with deep sedation. In some cases, general anaesthesia is preferred. The choice of the technique will be made between you, your anesthesiologist and your surgeon.

A consultation with your anesthesiologist will take place a few days before your procedure.

The day of the procedure

Your surgeon will adapt his operating strategy according to your particular case in order to obtain the best possible result.

Depending on your morphology and the desired result, the implant can be placed under the muscle or under the gland. The breast implant is inserted through incisions that can be located inside or around the areola, in the armpit or in the groove under the breast.

At the end of the operation, a moulded dressing is applied with an elastic bandage. The intervention generally lasts between 1h and 1h30.

After the procedure

The postoperative course can be painful during the first few days, especially when the implants are large and if they are placed behind the muscle. An appropriate analgesic treatment will be prescribed to you in order to reduce this pain.

Edema (swelling), ecchymoses (bruises) and difficulty raising the arms are common events in the early stages.

The initial dressing is removed after a few days and replaced with a lighter alternative. A bra will need to be worn day and night for a few weeks. Sutures are usually internal and absorbable.
You will be able to retrun to work after five to ten days. Sports activities can be resumed after one to two months.

Avoid exposing the scars to the sun for a year.

Results

The final result is visible after two to three months. This is the time necessary for the breasts to regaine their flexibility and for the implants to stabilize.

The intervention increases the volume and improves the shape of the breasts. The scars are usually very discreet. In addition to the result on the silhouette, a breast augmentation usually has a beneficial effect on a psychological level by improving self-confidence.

Unless there is a significant change in weight, the breast volume will remain stable over the long term. Like natural breasts, “augmented” breasts will undergo, the effects of gravity and aging, which vary according to the quality of the skin and the volume of the implants.

The goal of this surgery is to bring an improvement and not to achieve perfection. If your wishes are realistic, the result should give you great satisfaction.

Breast augmentation with implants can also be combined with a breast lift in cases of breast ptosis.

Breast lipofilling is a liposculpture technique that increases the volume of the chest without implants. The fat is collected by means of liposuction and reinjected into the chest.
