Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in plastic surgery. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, about 300,000 women opt for breast augmentation each year.
Patients decide to have breast augmentation for various personal reasons. However, the procedure is not only aimed at changing the size of the breasts, but also affects the shape of the breasts and achieves a harmonious appearance.
Breast augmentation surgery is also used to reconstruct the breasts after breast removal (mastectomy) due to illness.
Thanks to the development of aesthetic procedures and achievements in implant quality, breast augmentation is becoming an increasingly affordable procedure that helps patients achieve the desired appearance and increase self-confidence.
During the consultation with your plastic surgeon, you will discuss your wishes and expectations in detail. Choosing the right size and shape of implants is extremely important to ensure long-lasting results.
Before breast augmentation surgery, it is necessary to consult with our plastic surgeon. You will discuss your preferences about the size and appearance of your breasts. The surgeon will describe the specific types of implants as well as the possibilities of surgical techniques.
Before the procedure performed under general anesthesia, the following tests should be performed:
You will also talk to the surgeon about your medical history: medications you use, allergies, smoking habits, previous surgeries, and the like.
It is important to understand all aspects of your breast augmentation surgery. Nervousness before the procedure is common – excitement about your expected new appearance or simply stress before the operation.
During the consultation, ask your surgeon questions about everything you are interested in so that you can become better acquainted with all aspects of the procedure.
On the day of the surgery, after admission to the polyclinic, the medical staff will escort you to the room. Your surgeon will review the procedure with you once more about the course of the procedure and answer all your questions.
The anesthesiologist will then do all the necessary preparation for general anesthesia.
The operation lasts 90-120 minutes. The plastic surgeon places the predetermined volume and shape of the implant through an incision in the breast. The incision can be placed on the border of the areola and the skin of the breast or in the area of the crease under the breast.
Implants filled with silicone gel are usually used for breast augmentation.
Saline-filled implants provide uniform shape and strength. They are filled with sterile saline solution, which in the event of rupture of the implant shell, is absorbed by the body and naturally excreted.
Implants filled with silicone gel provide the most natural feeling of breast tissue, have a smooth surface and come in different forms and ensure long-lasting results.
Implants can be round or teardrop-shaped (anatomical shape). Round implants give more volume at the top of the breast, they are equal in width and height. With teardrop-shaped implants, the surgeon can choose a different width from the height, which allows for better control of the final shape of the breast.
The implant is placed under the breast tissue or under the muscle and breast tissue. The method and space in which the implant is placed depends on your wishes, physique and capabilities.
After breast augmentation surgery, you will wake up in the recovery room, and when you are fully recovered from general anesthesia, we will return you to your room.
Your family members can then visit you. If you feel well and your condition is confirmed by medical staff, you will be discharged to recover at home. Usually just a few hours after the surgery.
Your plastic surgeon will introduce you to the rules of care and speedy recovery.
After the procedure, you will receive a sports bra that should be worn continuously. Your new breasts will be swollen after surgery, but the swelling will disappear completely in two weeks. To reduce swelling and pain, it is recommended to sleep in an upright position for the first 48 hours after surgery.
You need to reduce any strenuous activity two or three weeks after surgery. This is especially true for raising your arms above your head and lifting heavy objects.
After 6 weeks, you can fully return to the normal routine, and after 3 months fully enjoy the final result.
Research shows that the vast majority of patients are extremely satisfied with breast augmentation. Satisfaction increases in the period when the final results are more visible, or a few months after the procedure when the scars become less noticeable.
Breast augmentation requires regular breast health screenings, including breast cancer screening tests and an assessment of the condition of the implants.
You will discuss the possible risks of breast augmentation with your plastic surgeon at a consultation before the procedure.
Breast implants undergo extensive testing to prove a reasonable guarantee of safety and efficacy. Modern breast implants are extremely safe, non-cancerous, and after implantation, pregnancy and breastfeeding can be planned.
Most patients who decide to have breast augmentation do not have serious complications. Possible complications are related to the use of general anesthesia, the occurrence of bleeding or infection after the procedure.
Specific side effects associated with implant placement are related to possible rupture or leakage of the implant, changes in the sensation of the nipples or breasts, and folds in the implant.
After breast augmentation, it is necessary to perform regular breast examinations such as breast ultrasound and mammography as recommended. This confirms that the implant is intact and ensures early detection of possible complications.

Breast augmentation allows for fuller breasts that are in better proportion to your physique. The procedure can also lead to a decrease in sagging and an increase in breast firmness.
The advanced surgical techniques used by our plastic surgeons allow for minimally visible scars after the procedure. The scars are usually only a few centimeters long and are positioned in such a way that they become barely noticeable as they fade over time.
The result of breast augmentation is visible immediately. The final results of the procedure will be visible in a few weeks when the swelling subsides and the skin adapts to the new shape of the breasts.
In order to achieve optimal breast augmentation results, it is necessary to follow the postoperative instructions of your surgeon and perform regular check-ups.
The appearance of the breasts changes over time due to aging, changes in weight, hormonal factors and the action of gravity. Over time, some patients decide to have a breast lift or implant replacement to restore the youthful contours of the breasts.
If you are considering breast augmentation, spend some time informing yourself about all aspects of the procedure. You can view our before-and-after examples of breast augmentation in our gallery.
