Breast enlargement is a collective term for the enlargement (augmentation) of the female breast. It can be carried out using autologous fat or using a foreign material.
Patients who naturally have less breast tissue often want to go down the route of breast enlargements with silicone implants. A small cup size can have a huge psychological effect, as the breast is an essential part of a female’s appearance. Using implants to restore lost breast volume can also be effective after pregnancy or weight loss. In some cases, this is combined with breast tightening. It should be noted, however, that breast enlargements can also be performed very successfully using autologous fat, i.e. fat from the patient’s own body. As such, in many cases we prefer to implement a combined treatment consisting of both silicone implants and autologous fat – this allows us to achieve very natural-looking results with a minimum amount of implant material. We only use implants from the world’s leading implant manufacturers in our treatments. The implant may be positioned above or below the pectoral muscles.
In principle, we distinguish between anatomical (drop-shaped) and round implants. As the name suggests, anatomical implants are heavily modelled on the natural female breast shape; they have a lesser projection in the upper area than round implants. As such, they are not as obvious and blend harmoniously into the rest of the body.
By contrast, round implants stick out more, especially in the area of the upper quadrants. Even without a bra, they create a plump, full décolleté, which is desired by some patients.
Both anatomical and round implants come in a range of shapes and sizes. There are also smooth, textured and micro-textured surfaces to choose from.
The different types of implants all have their pros and cons. We can discuss all of the different options with you in detail during a personal consultation.

Breast enlargement can be performed in three different ways:
We prefer the third option, as this allows the implants to be positioned in the best possible way and does not affect the sensitivity of the nipple.
The implants can be placed above and below the pectoral muscle. For the best results, the precise indication should be discussed in advance. In the case of young, active women who play a lot of sport and have a sufficient amount of soft tissue mantle, an implantation over the breast muscle could be an option worth discussing. In the case of breast ptosis, e.g. after breastfeeding, it is worth considering an implantation under the pectoral muscle, as the implant would not be sufficiently covered by the soft tissue mantle and would be visible as a result. Regardless of which procedure is chosen, the scar is generally barely visible thanks to the minimally invasive techniques. The scars fade after a few months and become almost invisible.

Nowadays, it is possible to perform moderate breast enlargements using autologous fat, i.e. fat from the patient’s own body. This option is very useful and recommended. Thanks to advanced medical technologies, fat cells can now be removed very gently, specially prepared and introduced into the breast by means of special needles – and this can all be done during the same procedure. The procedure can even be carried out on an outpatient basis, so that you are discharged home the same day.
A breast that has been enlarged with autologous fat usually loses around 30 to 50% of the injected volume 1-2 months after the operation, as not all of the fat cells are able to connect properly to the body’s own blood circulation. In order to achieve a higher rate of fat cell growth, we often enrich the autologous fat transfer with the body’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
In some cases, it may be necessary to conduct a second operation. The implanted fat behaves like the rest of the body’s own fat cells. If you put on weight, the fat cells in your chest will increase in volume, and vice versa. If a breast enlargement of more than two cup sizes is desired, or in the case of very slim patients without fat deposits, an implant should be considered to support the enlargement. In addition to the implant, we still usually build up a part of the breast tissue with autologous fat, so the implant can be properly covered (and becomes almost invisible). The results then look far more natural.

DURATION
2 hours
ANAESTHETIC
General anaesthetic
POST-OP CARE
6 weeks wearing a special bra
RECOMMENCE SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Immediately
EXERCISE
After 6 weeks
After a detailed consultation and the simulation of different breast sizes and shapes, as well as a comprehensive examination, we will decide upon the possible implant sizes together. Do not take any aspirin or other blood-thinning medication 14 days prior to the operation.
The surgery takes around 1.5 hours and is carried out under general anaesthetic. 3D simulations are used as a basis upon which to test different implant sizes using sterile test implants during surgery. This forms the basis for achieving the most natural and balanced looking results.
You can see the success of the treatment immediately. You can return to your normal routine after around 3 days.
You will need to wear a compression bra for 6 weeks after the operation to achieve a perfect result. During this time, you should also avoid raising your arms above your shoulders and strenuous physical activity. The implants have usually fully integrated after 3 months.
We will discuss and explain all potential risks in detail prior to your operation. All operations carry a risk. As cosmetic surgery constitutes what is known as an elective, voluntary intervention, it is even more important that the patient is fully informed and prepared for the operation. We offer our full support to you before and after the operation, and are available 24/7 during this period.
