Breast augmentation
The breast is a symbol of femininity. A breast augmentation is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery. A breast augmentation can be done with implants, lipofilling or a combination of both (hybrid breast augmentation). Women prefer to have a breast augmentation because of:
- asymmetry between both breasts
- volume loss and desire to have a fuller breast
- tuberous breast pathology
- after pregnancy with volume loss and breast sagging
- to restore self esteem and self confidence
- replacing old breast implants
The initial visit
In our practice we perform a lot of breast reconstructive procedures. Due to our experience we have a clear view and opinion of how an ideal breast should look like:
- natural with soft touch
- aesthetically pleasing with good volume distribution (lower pole)
- dynamic result
- stable result at the long-term
- comfortable for the patient
- the impact of a breast implant on the surrounding tissues should be kept at a minimum
- respect the anatomic boundaries of the breast
We discuss your expectations and wishes as well as the feasibility of the surgical approach. You will be offered the opportunity to have a 3D simulation of the final result (www.crisalix.com).
