Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a procedure to bring small breasts to the desired size. Aesthetic breast augmentation can be performed with silicone implants or by placing the body’s own fatty tissue in the breasts, which is also called fat-filling injection.

Breast augmentation operations can be performed using the patient’s own fatty tissue or using breast implants.

How is bra size measured?

The measurement of the circumference around the chest (white line), running along the underside of the breasts, gives the numerical value of the bra size (75, 80, etc.). When measured at the nipples (blue line), the value is higher than under the breasts. The difference between these two values starts at less than 6.5 cm, and with every further increase of 6.5 cm the cup size goes up: B, C, D, DD. The cup size of the bra is therefore also determined and written next to the numerical value (such as 75B, 80A).

There is no evidence that breast cancer is caused by the use of silicone in breast augmentation; even the latest studies have shown that breast cancer occurs 30% less often in women with breast implants than in women without breast implants.

Do scars remain after the operation?

If the person’s wound healing is normal, almost no scars will form.

With breast reduction, a scar always remains. What matters is that it is as inconspicuous as possible, staying hidden under clothing and keeping the cleavage area protected, so that it has no negative effects on your private life.
