The procedure involves inserting implants filled with saline solution or silicone gel. Implants are available in various sizes and shapes, allowing precise customization to meet the needs and expectations of the patient.
Who is breast augmentation with implants for?
The procedure is intended for women who want to increase the size of their breasts, restore lost volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss, and improve their shape. Breast augmentation can also address breast asymmetry, helping women achieve a more proportional appearance. It is important for candidates to be in good health and have realistic expectations regarding the results of the surgery.
Main benefits of breast augmentation with implants

With a wide range of implant sizes and shapes available, each patient can tailor the appearance of their breasts to their aesthetic preferences.
Results of breast augmentation with implants
The procedure results in fuller, better-contoured breasts that harmonize with the patient’s body shape. Final results are visible after a few weeks once the breasts have fully healed and swelling subsides. The results of the surgery generally have a positive impact on self-esteem and satisfaction with one’s appearance.

Full recovery may take up to several weeks, and for approximately 4-6 weeks, it is recommended to avoid intense physical activities and wear specialized supportive garments to aid the healing process.
