What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is one of the surgeries most frequently requested by women and consists in increasing the size of the breasts.
How does breast augmentation work?
After general anaesthesia or sedation, depending on the patient’s requirements, incisions are made under the inframammary fold. A retro-pectoral pocket is created and the implants are inserted (dual-plane technique).
What are the results?
Breast augmentation offers a marked improvement in the appearance of the breasts, augmenting their volume and enhancing their proportions. This procedure guarantees a permanent breast implant, with post-op scars hidden in the inframammary fold.
