Personal History
Every woman really wants to have well-formed breasts. Through predisposition, weight fluctuations, pregnancies and breastfeeding, the feminine contours and thus self-confidence and well-being could be affected.
Breast augmentation, which is probably the most commonly performed aesthetic procedure, could bring about a fresh sense of body and life.

- no need for regular replacement after 10-15 years

What is the task of breast augmentation?
Which implant would work, where it is placed and which approach is chosen for breast augmentation will be clarified in advance in an in depth, individual consultation.
The breast surgery is performed under general anesthesia with a one-night inpatient stay.
The incision is usually made in the inframammary fold, rarely in the armpit or areola.
The implants could be placed above or below the pectoral muscle.
What should be considered before the operation?
Clearance by doctor or internist
Blood thinning medications such as for example Aspro, Aspirin and Thomapyrin, as well as high-dose vitamin C must be discontinued 14 days prior to the procedure.
Reduce or stop smoking in order to avoid wound healing problems.
What goes on after breast surgery?
The sutures are self-dissolving.
Drainage on both sides to drain the wound secretion for just one day
Sports bra around-the-clock, for at least six weeks, to reduce swelling and keep the implants in position.
You will end up "fit for society" as soon as you are discharged from a healthcare facility
No heavy lifting, rest no sports for at least 4 weeks.
A work-free period of at least 1 week is recommended.
For a lovely scarring: silicone plaster and after healing massages with scar ointment
Swelling mostly subsides after fourteen days, the scars lighten with time.
However, if you have a desire to further minimize the visibility of the scars, this is often done using the fractional laser.
What are the risks?
Even under perfect conditions, complications may appear during breast augmentation. During the individual consultation, you will be informed in detail about the possibilities and limitations along with all the risks of the procedure in a pleasant atmosphere.
Frequently asked questions about breast augmentation
Do the implants have to be changed?
As long as no problems arise, such as for example capsular fibrosis (thickened connective tissue sheath round the implant, which can lead to pain and deformation and only occurs in 0.4% of cases), the implants need not be changed for life, based on the manufacturer.
Is breastfeeding still possible after breast augmentation?
Yes, since the implant is normally placed directly under the muscle and always under the mammary gland, the milk ducts are spared.
Is cancer screening possible with implants?
Yes, both mammography and palpation are possible without any problems.
How long should I not do sports?
Sports that are very hard on the chest muscles (such as push-ups, playing tennis, boxing...) should be avoided for at least a few months, otherwise light sports (walking, stepper, leg training...) are often possible after two weeks, based on the healing process.
When is driving possible again after breast surgery?
Depending on the healing process after about 2 weeks.
When can I fly again after breast augmentation?
If the agreed check-up appointments are kept, flying can be done after about one week.
When can I return to work after breast surgery?
With normal wound healing and a job that will not require physical labor after one week.
When after breast augmentation can I sleep on my side again?
The best time would be after 6 weeks, but since this is hardly feasible, with a well-fitting support bra and good wound healing, it is possible to lie on your side even with 2 weeks.
