BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast augmentation now benefits from a very wide range of solutions and materials allowing very fine customization of the shape and volume of the breasts. Regardless of its purely aesthetic or restorative dimensions, a breast augmentation project must be expertly supervised by a team that knows how to provide the right advice at the right time.

Breast augmentation is used to enhance the appearance and volume of the breasts or to reconstruct the breasts, following an ablation, for example, or to correct them when weight varies or simply as the years go by... In all cases, a breast surgery project refers to the intimate, to the image that we need to have of ourselves and to our own integrity as a woman.

Several families of prostheses as well as several materials are available today. They adapt to the age and morphology of each woman. Adjustment techniques are refined from year to year: it is now possible to regain the full dimension of one's body by precisely positioning the prostheses. Achieving or regaining full possession of one's body is at the forefront of one's potential joy of living on a daily basis. The professionals at La Clinique de la Croix d'Or never depart from this point of view. Each breast augmentation project is "necessary" because it is simply "wanted".

Choosing the right prosthesis is a meticulous job. It must correspond to the patient's needs and also to the surgeon's recommendations. The success of the operation itself and the patient's satisfaction depend on it so that she can regain her well-being in the long term.

Although returning to work can be done just a few days after the operation, the breasts will need to be given special attention during the first 6 weeks after the operation. The patient will need to protect themselves from shocks and will wear a support bra, day and night. In any case: the prosthesis must absolutely not move. No running or violent sports.

In the first few days after the operation, the shape of the breast will not necessarily be natural… This is a common phenomenon and it will be necessary to wait until the third month for the breasts to acquire a definitive shape and volume. The scars take on their final – and discreet – appearance after about 6 months. The latter, depending on the case, are located under the armpit, under the breast or even around the areola if the size and color of the latter allows it.

A breast implant does not necessarily last a lifetime. It must be taken care of regularly and undergo regular medical monitoring during which implant control mammograms will be performed. Although some types of implants have a lifespan of 10 years, some patients keep their implants for their entire lives… Implant wear and replacement are not a law.
