Breast implants

Breast implant surgery addresses the volume and shape of the breasts. The incision, size and type of implant are chosen at the consultation, considering the proportions and goals of each patient.

One of the options is the Preservé technique, performed through an incision of about 2 cm. It preserves the ligaments of the breast and uses implants of up to 250 ml. When indicated, it usually allows arm movement soon after surgery and a return to basic daily activities the next day.

What is it?

Surgery to place silicone implants in the breasts.

How is it done?

The incision can be made around the areola or in the breast fold, which makes surgery simpler and faster. Placement through the armpit is more demanding and does not allow correction of complex asymmetries or of the areola position.

Surgery takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the chosen technique.

Recovery

Surgical glue and absorbable sutures are used in all cases, so no stitches need to be removed. A well-fitted specific garment is mandatory to keep the implant in the correct position.

Return to work usually happens after the first 10 days. Driving, physical activity, lifting weights and wide elbow movements remain limited for longer. Scar care starts early.
