Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves the insertion of silicone implants to improve volume and aesthetics.

If you are considering enhancing the natural beauty of your breasts with a breast augmentation, breast augmentation might be the perfect procedure for you. Women between 18 and 35 years old frequently seek this surgery to increase volume, correct asymmetries, and improve the shape and firmness of their breasts, resulting in a more harmonious body contour and a boost in self-confidence.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves the insertion of silicone implants to enhance breast volume and aesthetics. Doctors widely recommend this technique for women who not only wish to improve the appearance of their breasts but also for those whose self-esteem is affected by issues such as sagging, lack of volume, aging, or asymmetries. And for those seeking breast reconstruction, the benefits of breast augmentation are equally transformative.

Personalized Surgical Procedure

In breast augmentation, the surgeon inserts the implant through a small incision. This incision can be made around the areola, in the inframammary fold, or in the armpit. The surgeon customizes each procedure, choosing the most appropriate technique and determining the size and shape of the implants according to each patient's needs and desires. Concern about scars is minimal, as the surgeon positions them to be discreet, maintaining the natural beauty of the breasts.

Visible and Long-lasting Results

Initial results are noticeable immediately after surgery, but it is after approximately 90 days that the definitive result can be fully appreciated, when swelling decreases and tissues adapt to the new shape.

Choosing a Qualified Surgeon for Breast Augmentation

Therefore, it is crucial to choose a qualified plastic surgeon, credentialed by the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP), to ensure the safety and quality of the result. Thus, a detailed consultation is essential to determine the best approach and surgical technique for each individual case.

Implant Placement

The surgeon can place the silicone implants above or below the pectoral muscle, offering options for round or anatomical implants. The choice depends on a variety of factors, including the patient's anatomy, lifestyle, and desired results.

Indications for Silicone Implants

Women with hypomastia (small breasts) or those who simply desire an increase in breast volume can greatly benefit from silicone implants.

Hospital Stay and Anesthesia

The surgery requires only a 12-hour hospital stay, performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring comfort and safety during the procedure.

Post-operative Care for Breast Augmentation

Post-operative care requires special attention: avoid lifting arms above shoulder height for two weeks, resume light physical exercise after 30 days, and normal activities after 3 months. Driving is contraindicated for the first 14 days after surgery.
