Breast Augmentation

Many women feel dissatisfied with the size or shape of their breasts, which can impact their confidence and well-being. Breast augmentation is a popular solution that enhances breast volume and shape using implants. This procedure is ideal for women with naturally small breasts or those who have experienced volume loss due to weight changes or breastfeeding. Implants can also help correct mild asymmetry, creating a more balanced appearance.

Breast Augmentation Surgery – all you need to know

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement or augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. It is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures, helping women achieve fuller, more proportionate breasts with the use of implants.

Whether you want to restore lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss, correct natural asymmetry, or simply enhance your curves, breast augmentation can help you feel more confident in your body.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Choosing breast enlargement offers several advantages, including:

  • Enhanced breast size and shape for a more balanced figure.
  • Restored volume loss due to aging, weight fluctuations, or breastfeeding.
  • Correction of asymmetry, creating a more proportional look.
  • A youthful appearance, making clothes fit better and expanding wardrobe options.
  • Improved body confidence and self-esteem.

With modern techniques and high-quality implants, breast augmentation delivers natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is ideal for women who:

  • Want to increase breast size or enhance shape.
  • Have lost breast volume due to pregnancy, aging, or weight loss.
  • Have naturally small or uneven breasts.
  • Are in good health, with no serious medical conditions.
  • Have realistic expectations about the results.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions, your surgeon will discuss the best timing for the procedure. A consultation is essential to determine if breast augmentation is right for you.

Types of Breast Implants: Choosing the Right Option

There are different implant types, shapes, and placement options to help you achieve your desired look.

Types of Breast Implants

Silicone Implants come in various shapes and textures for a more customized look. They are the most commonly used type for breast augmentation in Europe. They are preferred because they:

  • Feel more natural compared to saline implants.
  • Have a lower risk of rippling or wrinkling, making them ideal for women with less natural breast tissue.

Saline Implants are less popular in Europe. Theyare mainly used when a woman prefers a firmer feel or wants a saline-filled implant for personal reasons.

Implant Shapes

  • Round Implants – create a fuller, more lifted look.
  • Anatomical (Teardrop) Implants – create a natural breast shape with more volume at the bottom.

Placement Options

  • Under the Muscle (Submuscular) – More natural-looking results and less risk of visible implant edges.
  • Over the Muscle (Subglandular) – Quicker recovery but may be less natural for very slim patients.

During your consultation, your surgeon will help select the best implant type, size, and placement based on your body type and goals.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure: What to Expect

Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes about 1 – 2 hours. The procedure involves:

  • Incision Placement – The surgeon makes a small incision in one of three common areas:
    • Under the breast crease (inframammary – most common).
    • Around the areola (periareolar).
    • In the armpit (transaxillary).
  • Implant Insertion – The implant is placed either under or above the chest muscle, depending on the best approach for your body.
  • Closing the Incisions – The incisions are carefully closed with sutures, and an elastic compression bra is applied for support.

The procedure is safe and highly customizable, ensuring natural-looking, beautiful results. However, achieving the best outcome requires selecting a certified and experienced surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation. myMedical Prague collaborates exclusively with highly qualified surgeons who meet the highest medical standards, ensuring safety, professionalism, and exceptional results.

Recovery and Aftercare: Healing for Best Results

After surgery, you’ll need to take a few days for recovery to allow your body to heal and rest. Here’s what to expect:

  • First Few Days: Some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal. Pain medication can help manage any discomfort.
  • First Week: Most patients can return to light activities within a few days. However, avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities.
  • 2-4 Weeks: Swelling reduces, and you can slowly resume normal activities.
  • 6-8 Weeks: You can return to full exercise and daily activities with your surgeon’s approval.

For the best results:

  • Wear a support bra as recommended.
  • Sleep on your back to avoid pressure on your breasts.
  • Follow all post-op instructions and attend follow-up appointments.

By following these aftercare guidelines, you can ensure a smooth recovery and enjoy the best results from your breast augmentation surgery.

Risks and Possible Complications

Breast augmentation is a safe procedure, but as with any surgery, there are some potential risks, including:

  • Temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness.
  • Capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening around the implant).
  • Implant rupture or leakage (modern implants are highly durable).
  • Changes in nipple sensation (usually temporary).
  • Infection (rare but manageable with antibiotics).

By choosing myMedical Prague, you minimize the risks of surgery and take the right step toward a successful, worry-free breast augmentation experience.

How Long Does the result of a Breast Augmentation Last?

You’ll notice a change in size immediately, but final results become visible after swelling subsides (around 3-6 months).

Over time, factors like aging, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle changes may affect the appearance of your breasts, but many patients enjoy their enhanced look for years. Regular check-ups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results. Should you ever feel the need to update or replace your implants, the procedure is simple and safe.

Frequently asked questions about the procedure

How long do breast implants last?

Breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, with most implants lasting between 10 and 20 years. However, factors like lifestyle changes, aging, or implant wear may require replacement or removal over time. Regular follow-ups with your surgeon can help monitor the condition of your implants.

Will breast implants affect my ability to breastfeed?

Breast implants generally do not affect your ability to breastfeed. However, some women may experience changes in breast sensitivity or milk production, depending on the type of surgery and implant placement. Discussing your plans for breastfeeding with your surgeon before the procedure is important.

Is breast augmentation surgery painful?

While there may be some discomfort and swelling after surgery, most patients report manageable pain. Your surgeon will provide pain relief options, such as prescribed medication, and discomfort typically subsides within the first few days to weeks after surgery.

How soon can I return to work after breast augmentation?

Most women can return to work within 5-7 days if their job does not require heavy physical activity. However, if your job involves lifting or strenuous tasks, you may need a longer recovery period of 2-3 weeks. Your surgeon will advise you on when it’s safe to return to work and resume physical activity.

Will I have visible scars after breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation involves incisions, but the surgeon will carefully place them in discreet locations (such as under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit) to minimize visible scarring. While some scarring is inevitable, the scars will fade over time and become less noticeable. Following post-operative care instructions will also help in scar healing.

Can breast implants correct breast asymmetry?

Yes, breast augmentation can correct mild to moderate breast asymmetry. Implants can help balance the size and shape of the breasts, creating a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

When can I start excercising after the Breast ennlargement surgery?

After breast augmentation surgery, it’s important to allow your body to heal properly before resuming exercise. Here are some general guidelines:

  • First 2 weeks: Avoid any physical activity, especially exercises that involve lifting, pushing, or pulling. Light walking is usually fine, but no strenuous movements.
  • 3 to 4 weeks: You can begin gentle movements like stretching or light cardio (e.g., walking on a treadmill), but avoid anything that puts strain on your chest or arms.
  • 6 weeks: You can usually resume more intense exercise such as weight lifting, running, and cardio, but it’s important to listen to your body and take it easy at first.
  • 8 weeks: Most patients are fully cleared to return to their normal workout routines, but make sure to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions

It’s recommendable to get approval from your surgeon before starting any form of intense exercise to avoid complications such as implant shifting or prolonged swelling.
