Breast

These figures are for reference only and may vary by patient.
Process overview
This procedure uses silicone implants — whose shape, profile and size are selected according to each patient's anatomy and goals — to increase breast volume or correct asymmetry. It is one of the most requested breast surgeries, because the result can be tailored to your body type and the proportion you are looking for.
It is suited to women with little natural breast volume who want a more balanced silhouette, as well as those looking to correct a difference in size between the two breasts, always with a natural-looking result as the priority.
To give the breasts better projection and improve their firmness and contour.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to see the final result?
You will generally notice a visible change immediately, but the final result settles between 1 and 3 months after the procedure, and it does not interfere with breastfeeding if you are nursing.
Will the scars be visible?
The scar is discreet and sits either in the inframammary fold or along the edge of the areola, depending on the technique agreed during your evaluation. It tends to fade over time and is usually hidden by underwear or swimwear.
Do the implants come with a warranty?
Implants carry a manufacturer's warranty against rupture and capsular contracture. The terms and extent of that coverage are reviewed in detail during your consultation, along with the brand and model chosen for your case.
