Breast Surgery Tailored solutions with implants, lipofilling, or reduction
The breast is a fundamental part of the female image: it influences self-perception, body balance, and posture.
Breast surgery procedures address different needs: aesthetic, for those desiring an increase, reduction, or shape correction; functional, to alleviate discomfort caused by excessive volume; reconstructive, to restore harmony after oncological surgeries or trauma.
In any case, the goal is the same: to achieve natural proportions and a harmonious balance with the rest of the body.
Selection of the implant and placement plan
Breast surgery is not just about aesthetics, but also well-being and proportion. Whether it’s an augmentation, reduction, or reconstruction, the goal is to restore harmony and confidence with customized techniques and cutting-edge materials.
In a safe and professional environment, each procedure is designed to reflect your femininity with naturalness and serenity.
Each breast has its own morphology, skin quality, thickness, and symmetry. The planning starts with a thorough evaluation of the chest, the position of the areolas, and the available tissue.
Based on these elements, technique, incision, and implant type are determined.
The aesthetic result depends on three main factors:
Correct selection of size:
balance with the shoulders and hips, avoiding excesses that may appear unnatural;
Implant position
based on tissue coverage and firmness;
Proportions
between height, width, and projection of the implant.
The surgical plan is always shared: the surgeon guides the patient in making the most realistic and harmonious choice, explaining benefits, limitations, and long-term maintenance.
Safety and materials used
Modern breast implants are CE-certified medical devices, subjected to rigorous quality controls and traceability.
The latest technologies offer cohesive silicone gel that maintains shape and consistency, even in case of shell rupture.
Safety depends on:
- the surgeon’s experience and use of approved materials;
- certified operating environment;
- antibiotic prophylaxis and aseptic techniques;
- periodic follow-up with ultrasound or MRI every 2-3 years.
Anesthesia and post-operative recovery
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or, in some cases, deep sedation with local anesthesia.
After a few hours of observation, the patient can return home or stay overnight in the clinic.
In the first days, moderate swelling and a feeling of tension are expected, managed with analgesics. A supportive bra is worn for 4-6 weeks, helping position the implants correctly and promoting healing.
Return to work is possible after about a week; light physical activity after 3-4 weeks, intense activity after 6-8 weeks.
Scars mature within 6-12 months and gradually become less noticeable.
Scars and their treatment
Incisions are placed in strategic areas:
- in the inframammary fold (breast augmentation);
- around the areola (mastopexy or reduction);
- with a vertical or inverted T-extension in cases of significant reduction or ptosis.
Our protocol includes scar treatment with medical silicone, massages, sun protection, and regular follow-ups. Daily care reduces the visibility of scars and improves skin quality.
Risks and potential complications
Every surgical procedure carries risks, which are explained in detail during the consultation: hematomas, seromas, infections, transitory sensory changes, capsular contracture, or the need for revision.
Carefully following pre- and post-operative instructions significantly reduces complications. Adhering to follow-up and consistently wearing the post-surgical bra is an integral part of success.
Duration of results and long-term maintenance
The longevity of results depends on genetic factors, skin quality, lifestyle, and tissue gravity.
Maintaining a stable weight, hydrating the skin, avoiding smoking, and protecting from the sun are practices that preserve shape over time.
Implants do not prevent diagnostic tests such as ultrasound or mammograms, which should still be performed regularly.
