« IS A BREAST AUGMENTATION PAINFUL? »

As after any type of surgery, you will be in pain for the first couple of days. If breast implants are placed under the muscle you will be in a lot of pain for the first week. If the implants are placed above the muscle, it is less painful.

« AS FROM WHEN CAN YOU JUDGE ON THE RESULT OF A BREAST AUGMENTATION? »

The result of a breast augmentation can be judged after 6 months. Only then the swelling will have gone down completely and the breast muscle will have adapted to the new shape of the breasts. Natural looking breasts can be achieved by a breast augmentation. Please note : The result of a breast augmentation is definitive and a mammography is still possible.

« ARE THERE ANY CONTRA-INDICATIONS FOR A BREAST AUGMENTATION? »

We advise against breast implant for patients who :

  • have an infection which is not treated,
  • have a suppressed immune system,
  • previously had healing problems,
  • have a vascular disorder,
  • with a history of allergy or who are intolerant to a foreign object,
  • had several unsuccesful try-outs of breast implants,
  • have health problems in the breast area,
  • with an psychological instability.

« DO BREASTS MOVE IN A NATURAL WAY AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION? »

If the breast implants are placed above the muscle, movements of the breast will look very natural. This is less the case if breast implants are placed under the breast muscle.

« COULD A BREAST UPLIFT RESULT IN A LOSS OF SENSITIVITY OF THE NIPPLES AND THE SKIN OF YOUR BREASTS? »

If the nipple is rearranged to a higher position during a breast uplift, then the sensitivity of the nipples may temporarily change. Your nipples may get either less sensitive, even insensitive or rather very sensitive. This perception will get back to normal a couple of months after the breast uplift surgery. When there has been a bleeding, a permanent loss of sensivity of the nipple may occur. This risk may be avoided by stop smoking six weeks before and six weeks after the breast uplift surgery.

Your questions about breast reduction

« FOR HOW LONG WILL YOU SEE THE SCARS OF A BREAST REDUCTION? »

Our plastic surgeon uses an advanced technique for a breast reduction and uplift which results in scars which get quite invisible after one year.

In the beginning scars may be redish. The scars won’t be visible under normal clothing. Due to our advanced technology there will be no scars in the breast fold (the up side down T or the so-called anchor scar). The results are aesthetically better.
