breast augmentation

3d breast lift without a vertical scar

An Breast augmentation (mammary augmentation) is an operation of an aesthetic nature. It offers women the opportunity to give their breasts a specific shape and size. Enlargement is often requested by women with genetically small breasts or breast deformities. But also women who have lost breasts due to illness or who have lost breast volume due to age, pregnancy or weight loss.

What methods of breast augmentation are there?

 

Breast augmentation (mammary augmentation) 

The most common method of breast enlargement is through the use of silicone implants. The implants are placed through a small incision in the armpit, under the breast, or around the areola, either on or under the pectoral muscle. Various methods are available for augmentation with implants, which mostly depend on the patient's physical condition. We work with the latest high-tech Motiva implants, as well as with the proven implants from Allergan, Mentor, Eurosilicon implants.

Breast augmentation without surgery

Permanent breast augmentation is also possible without surgery using only an injection. New methods such as nano-hyaluron, plasma stem cell methods and breast augmentation from autologous fat have been developed at the HeumarktClinic. Learn more about the revolutionary new methods of breast augmentation without surgery using autologous fat with stem cells, hyaluronic acid, plasma from experts at HeumarktClinic through decades of research and experience in reconstructive breast surgery.

How does a breast augmentation work?

An breast augmentation is a surgical procedure in which the female breast can be enlarged using different incisions - approaches. Information about the process:

  1. Treatment methods:

    • Breast enlargement with silicone implants: This is one of the most common methods. CE quality silicone implants with a triple safety cover with a smooth or rough surface are inserted into the breast. The HeumarktClinic only uses controlled implants with a guarantee that come from market leaders, such as mentor, Eurosilicon, GC Aesthetics, Motiva.
    • Breast augmentation by Lipofilling: This method involves taking fat from other areas of the body and injecting it into the breast. To do this, there must be a sufficient size of donor fat deposits from which the surgeon can remove around 250-350 grams of autologous fat per breast. After years, it is recommended to repeat breast enlargement with your own fat because the implanted fat can be reduced by up to 30% -40%. The method is not particularly suitable for slim women without sufficient fat deposits.
    • Breast enlargement with saline implants: With this method, the filling of the implant remains silicone, but the filling is made of natural table salt. The advantage is that it can never cause “silicone granulomas”, the disadvantage is that the saline filling can escape if the casing becomes leaky. This usually happens after years.
  2. Process:

    1. Type of implementation: Breast enlargement takes place at the HeumarktClinic outpatient, saving inpatient stay. This is possible because of the well-worn, gentle technique, which allows the operation to be carried out with almost no bleeding, major pain and side effects and to leave the follow-up observation after twilight sleep or anesthesia to the relatives. However, the doctor is always in contact with the family, advises and intervenes if necessary. 
    2. Type of anesthesia: general anesthetic is standard, but can be reduced to twilight sleep Use to protect the body. In addition, Dr. Haffner the op also in local anesthesia and light Sediting just carry out. 
    3. Additions: Depending on your wishes and the individual nature of the breast, there are approaches as follows: incision on the edge of the nipple - incision in the axilla - incision in the breast fold
    4. The duration of the operation is approximately 1 hour for implants and 2-3 hours for autologous fat.
    5. The aftercare is carried out by 2-3 outpatient visits to us and is carried out by the surgeon himself, whereby only stitches have to be removed for implants.
    6. Social and work ability will be after about 2 weeks restored.
  3. risks:

    • The risks of breast enlargement are relatively low these days.
    • By using safe materials and adhering to strict standards, health risks can be minimized. High-tech in the operating room, such as laminar airflow with bacteria filters, use of disposable materials and instruments, gentle lasers and endoscopic techniques contribute to a high level of safety and quality.
    • The surgeon's many years of experience, competence and specialization are crucial for safety.
  4. Costs:

    • The cost of breast enlargement starts at around EUR 5.500 net plus anesthesia.

Depending on the constitution of the breast as well as the glandular tissue and the skin ratio, the implant will either be used to enlarge the breast subglandular (below the mammary gland), subpectoral (halfway under the pectoral muscle) or submuscular (below the pectoral muscle) positioned.

On special request, a muscular support can be created as an inner bra. You can find out more about this during the consultation. 

How long does a breast augmentation last?

Regular checks and ultrasound examinations ensure the integrity of the implants. In general, the results with implants are very permanent. In contrast to the use of implants, the transplanted fatty tissue is subject to fluctuations in body weight, possibly also to changes due to pregnancy or the natural aging process.

Breast augmentation Before After simulation

The before and after simulation of breast augmentation is created from daily practice as an example.

The real before and after pictures before and after a breast augmentation can - and must - deviate from this example, since the result cannot be identical to a simulation. The individual healing process, the body shape, the implant selection and the implant position must be individually composed and observed in each individual case. Nevertheless, the body of slim women with smaller breasts is ideal for breast augmentation. In the case of larger, especially sagging breasts, tightening procedures are also recommended. Haffner are possible with few scars and without a vertical scar.

Schlüsselelemente for breast augmentation:

1. The dimensions: The girth of the chest, the width of the breast base, the distance from the nipple to the inframammary fold, the thickness and depth of the inframammary fold, the length of the chest – all these parameters must be measured in advance. The size of the implant is primarily determined by the width of the base of the breast - because no wider implant can be inserted than the width of the base of the breast.

2. The implant: The heaviness of the implant mainly depends on the implant width and height. The wider and the rounder (higher) an implant is, the heavier it is. If the breasts are to sit higher, higher implants are chosen, which are placed under the muscle that cushions the curves.

3. The 3D simulation: The pictorial before and after simulation of the future breast is possible today, we work with the Crisalix three D simulation and are happy to put your before and after pictures together on request. For the three D before and after simulation, we first create the photos of your upper body in several layers. The Crisalix software then determines and visualizes the future breast shape after entering the desired size and shape of the implants. This is how professional before and after simulations of breast augmentation and breast lift are created.
