Breastenlargement
(Augmentation)
What is done during an augmentation ?
To create the size and shape of the breast
that maches your individual aesthetic ideas implants are
used .
At PHOENIX-AESTHETIC
private clinic we use Silicon-, Hydrogel-, or Saline implants.However
our preference is silikon. Siliconimplants consist out of
a synthetic envelope filled with silicon gel. Its advantage
is a good natural form , that gives your breast a very natural
look. Silicon in the past has been blamed for many complications
in the US and has been prohibited by FDA. Meanwhile more
than 10 000 scientific researches world wide have been published
. None of them could proove what silicon has been blaimed
for. Meanwhile Silicone is on the reapproval list of the
FDA. For more information see the Internet or ask your surgeon
at the first appointment.
For those who don`t want silicon hydrogel
is an alternate. The envelope is silicon as well filled
with a sugargel. In case of leaking its resorbed and excreted
via kidney.
Saline implants are also an envelope made
from silicon filled with saline solution..The disadvantage
is, it looses often its volume and the shape is more unnatural.
Depending on your personal aesthetic visions
and the way your normal breast appears, we will find during
the first consultation together with you the ideal size
and type of implant. We will also discuss with you the position
of the incision and if to put the implant before or under
the muscle.
The operation
Through a small unconspicious incision , in
the inframammary fold or in the armpit with special instruments
a pocket is created to keep the implant, which can be placed
under the gland or under the breastmuscle. Closing of the
wound is mostly done with selfresolvent stiches.
The operation is performed under general anaesthesia
( board certified anaesthesiologist ) and lasts between
1.5 and 2 hours. Over night stay in the clinic is recommended.
What to regard before the operation
2 weeks prior and one week after the operation
dont take any medication that integrates acetylacid ( aspirin
) because it affects the coagulation of your blood. As far
as possible avoid smoking alcohol and sleeping pills. If
you have any questions or need more information, don`t hasitate,
ask us.
How to behave after the operation
Also as out patient you are supplied with
enough painkillers although in the beginning only the unknown
pressure on the chest may bother you . This will become
less soon..
One day after the operation there is a short
checkup. The second day you may have a shower. The stiches
are removed after two to three weeks or are selfresolvent.
Possible irregularities of sensitivity will
fade soon.
Normally you can be back to work after one
week. You should start with sport activities not before
2 weeks by avoiding p.t. of the breastmuscles for additional
4 weeks.
