Types of breast augmentation surgery

The breast, a major symbol of femininity, has appeared on paintings and sculptures for centuries - one could say it plays a central role. Although Titian's Venus of Urbino, which is more than five hundred years old, caused a great stir in its time, today it is almost natural to see the female body in such depictions.

However, the ideals of beauty have changed significantly, and with this, plastic surgery procedures have greatly improved for our benefit, becoming safer and more accessible.

The breast undeniably plays an important role in women's self-esteem, self-confidence, and last but not least, sexuality. Its size and shape are genetically determined. While firmness characterizes it in young age, this condition, this shape is not completely final. With age, sagging skin becomes a problem. Of course, a pregnancy also changes the breast a lot, especially in the postpartum period, when the breast can fulfill another important role.

Our mission is to help you regain your self-confidence, physical and mental health, whether it is breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction or nipple and areola correction, the main aspect of breast plastic surgery!

Breast augmentation procedures

Breast augmentation is the collective name for various surgeries. The female breast is one of the most common areas of the body on which aesthetic or reconstructive surgery is performed. It includes breast lift, breast reduction, breast augmentation, elimination of deformities of the breasts, and possibly surgeries performed on the nipples.

The silicone implants we use, which are marketed in Hungary, comply with both European and American standards. The feel of silicone-containing implants is the most similar to the feel of a natural female breast, as those filled with saline are harder.

The pre-operative examinations and consultation with the doctor provide an opportunity to reconcile the patient's own expectations with the available conditions and possibilities, and then, depending on these, find a common solution for the surgery.

Types of breast augmentation surgeries:

Silicone breast augmentation

We perform safe breast augmentation with continuously well-controlled, medically supervised, modern implants of varying shapes, their implantation and these procedures with professional medical devices.

It is one of the most frequently used procedures, which has helped millions of women regain their self-confidence. With the passage of time, technologies and materials have emerged in the range of implants, which can provide extremely versatile possibilities for patients.

In the majority of procedures, silicone implants are usually used. These already have very modern properties and are safe. Many women are not satisfied with their own breasts, their appearance, size, shape - this has been and will continue to be the case. This may be due to a major weight loss, pregnancy or aging, but it is also possible that dissatisfaction is already inherently in the person, since they did not develop properly after puberty.

During breast augmentation surgeries, the implant is placed in the mammary gland or under the chest muscle. Types of implants include silicone gel or saline-filled inserts with a silicone wall. The silicone gel-filled implants are the most similar to human tissue, the density and consistency of this type is the closest to natural breasts.

Often it is the asymmetry that makes the patient decide that they would like to have corrective surgery on their breasts. For this, there is a breast lift, or where possible, augmentation with your own fat may be another solution.

Breast augmentation with own fat

It is usually optional if the patient has enough excess fat, which can be removed with the help of liposuction and then used to fill the breasts. We obtain adipose tissue from areas such as the abdomen, the outer and inner part of the thigh, the buttocks, the hips and the back.

There can be many advantages to breast augmentation with your own fat, including the naturalness it can provide. But at the same time, the patient can get rid of excess fat, there is no foreign material, the surgery involves small scars, there is no need to worry about the risk of capsular contracture, asymmetry can be better corrected through it, through the surgery.

A thin body type can be a disqualifying factor, as this procedure is not recommended for those who do not have fat pads that could be used.

Breast lift

The purpose of a breast lift is to correct the position and shape of sagging breasts to achieve a beautiful effect and breast shape. The cause of sagging breasts can be significant weight loss, breastfeeding and aging, as a result of which the breast loses its elasticity and the glandular tissue sags. The sagging of the breasts can even be accompanied by physical pain, and in this case, it may be worth considering the benefits offered by a breast lift.

Among our patients, there are many people who would like to have a breast lift because their breasts have sagged after the birth of their child, because weight gain and loss have left a mark on the structure of their breasts, or essentially for any cause that has resulted in the stretching of the ligaments.

However, in order to choose this procedure and not need an implant as well, the woman must have an adequate amount of glandular tissue. There is no need to despair if you do not meet the expectations from this point of view, because there are other solutions, which we will explain in more detail in the following lines.

Breast lift and breast augmentation

The use of a combined surgical procedure in cases where neither a simple breast augmentation nor a lift would lead to perfect results.

Depending on the size, i.e. the amount of glandular tissue, if it is too small, it is recommended to supplement the surgery with silicone breast augmentation or augmentation with your own fat, so that the result will satisfy our patient.

Here, in this procedure, we make an incision around the areola. The combined plastic surgery also provides an opportunity to change the size of the nipple, as required.

Breast reduction

Although so far we have mostly talked about augmentation in the field of breast plastic surgery, many women suffer from the problems caused by overly large breasts. Breast reduction may be necessary if the size of the breast causes holding disorders, back pain, or becomes an inconvenience that hinders sports and everyday life, and hinders further activities.

In addition to the fact that back and neck pain can become a daily occurrence in their lives, a breast that is larger than the body's endowments can cause skin irritation and difficulty in dressing. Not to mention that it can also be psychologically burdensome to live with overly large breasts.

In the case of breast reduction under anesthesia, the mammary gland, fat and stretched skin are removed, and the breast is also placed in an optimal position.

It can be a huge relief if, after long suffering, you finally have to live with less weight, if you are less hindered in your daily activities.

Male breastplasty (Gynecomastia)

Among men, there are also those who suffer from the appearance and size of their breasts. If someone considers their breasts too feminine, too large, this feeling can also affect their everyday life. We also offer them the opportunity for correction, which can help them regain their self-confidence.

How dangerous is a silicone implant?

Scientific, clinical data prove that these types of implants filled with gel do not cause any disease. Silicone implants do not adversely affect pregnancy, breastfeeding, or the health of the breastfed child, since the implant is placed partly under the gland and partly under the muscle for best results.

What risk factors are present?

Wrinkle filling, neckplasty, other plastic surgery or, for example, lip filling also carries risk factors, as does any aesthetic procedure. It is understandable why significant professional expertise and special tools and conditions are needed.

The first step before the operation is always the transfer and exchange of information between the doctor and the patient, and only then is it possible to start the process. Thus, the doctor always provides information about the various risk factors, so do not be alarmed by the procedure, because there is enough professional work in it and in the preparation as well!

Breast augmentation under anesthesia

Breast augmentation surgery is most often performed under general anesthesia, after which a 1-day stay is required. Recovery takes another two to three to four weeks, during which time it is recommended to wear a bra at home for 3-4 weeks. You can even return to work 1 week after the surgery, but full recovery takes at least a month.

Recovery after breast augmentation

As recovery takes several weeks, we definitely recommend that you follow the rules we have outlined with due care. In this way, you can return to your everyday life again in a few weeks and the recovery will not take longer than is absolutely necessary.

You should refrain from physical exertion, which in certain cases also extends to the fact that you should not rest on your elbows or lean on your arm for aesthetic and trouble-free healing.

In summary, it is essential that an examination is necessary before any plastic surgery, in this case breast augmentation surgery, which is part of the treatment, during which the surgeon, taking into account not only the patient's personal needs, explains what implant could be used to achieve the desired goal, but also assesses other aspects. In addition, the most important examinations are performed, which are essential.

The course of the operation is discussed, personalized information is provided regarding the various risks, and only after this can a date be fixed. No procedure can be performed without such examinations, whether it is facial rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, laser liposuction, breast surgery or anything else that the patient needs.
