Breast augmentation
At Affidea, breast augmentation is a highly specialized surgical procedure that aims to improve the size, shape and symmetry of the breasts through the placement of breast prostheses. Many women wish to enhance their figure, restore breast volume after changes such as pregnancy or weight loss, or correct breast asymmetries.
What does breast augmentation consist of?
This procedure involves the placement of breast prostheses to increase the volume and improve the shape of the breasts. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and, depending on the case, the surgeon makes an incision in a discreet area, such as the inframammary fold, around the areola or in the armpit. The prostheses can be placed under the breast tissue or under the pectoral muscle. In a first assessment, the doctor will advise you as recommended by the specialist to obtain a natural and harmonious result with the anatomy of each patient.
Who is breast augmentation indicated for?
Breast augmentation is indicated for those who:
Wish to increase the size of their breasts to achieve greater proportion and symmetry in their figure.
Experience loss of breast volume due to changes such as pregnancy, lactation or weight loss.
They seek to correct asymmetries in breast size or shape.
Types of breast augmentation prostheses
There are several types of breast prostheses that can be adapted to the needs and preferences of each patient:
Silicone prostheses: These are the most commonly used, as they offer a more natural result both in appearance and sensation.
Saline prostheses: They are filled with saline solution and are adjusted during surgery to obtain the desired volume.
Prosthesis shape: There are round or anatomical options, depending on the desired aesthetic result.
Prosthesis texture: They can be smooth or textured, being the textured ones less prone to move with time.
Postoperative care for breast augmentation
Postoperative care is essential to ensure a successful recovery and maintain long-term results:
Use of special bras: During the first few weeks, it is recommended to wear a specific bra that provides support to the breasts and aids healing.
Adequate rest: It is important to avoid physical exertion or heavy lifting during the first weeks of recovery.
Inflammation control: Swelling and bruising are common at first, but should subside over time. The surgeon may prescribe medication to relieve discomfort.
Medical follow-up: Follow-up visits are made to ensure that healing is adequate and that the results are as expected.
Initial recovery time is usually 2 to 4 weeks, during which time it is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity. Definitive results can be seen after several months, when the final shape and position of the breasts are completely stabilized.
At Affidea, we have a team of specialized plastic surgeons who will guide each patient throughout the entire process, ensuring natural and personalized results, always with the utmost care and safety.
