01
Description
Modern cohesive silicone gel implants offer a natural, long-lasting result. The choice of volume, shape, and projection is guided by the patient's measurements, body shape, and wishes.

Breast Augmentation with Implants
Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures worldwide. It increases, symmetrizes, and restores volume and shape to the breasts.
02
Surgical technique
The incision can be peri-areolar, inframammary, or axillary. The inframammary approach is the most commonly used as it offers excellent access and a discreet scar within the breast crease.
03
Recovery
Current implants have no defined lifespan. They are replaced in case of rupture, capsular contracture, or a desire to change volume. Annual follow-up imaging is recommended.

FAQ
Modern implants do not have an expiration date. They are replaced in case of complications (rupture, capsular contracture) or a desire for a change. Regular follow-up imaging is recommended.
No, mammography remains possible and effective. Specific views are used (the Eklund technique). Ultrasound and MRI complement it if needed.
Yes, current techniques preserve the mammary gland. Breastfeeding is possible regardless of the surgical approach used.
The choice is guided by your measurements, body shape, and wishes. 3D simulations and try-on with external implants help visualize the result.
The risk of rupture is low with modern implants (cohesive gel). In case of rupture, the gel remains contained within the shell. A replacement is then recommended.
The scar is discreet: in the inframammary crease (the most common), around the areola, or in the armpit. It fades within 6-12 months.
