Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation is generally performed under general anaesthetic in Geneva, although in some cases it can be avoided by sedation combined with a nerve block.

Hospitalisation: A single day’s hospitalisation in Geneva is generally sufficient. A prosthesis, whether filled with a cohesive solution of silicone or serum, has a lifespan that cannot be accurately estimated. A priori, a quality implant does not theoretically have a limited lifespan. There is no expiry date after which the implant must be changed. So, in the absence of complications, the implant can be kept for as long as the patient wishes. Breast augmentation, although performed primarily for aesthetic reasons, is a genuine surgical procedure, which carries risks like any other medical procedure (however minor). It is important to distinguish between complications related to anaesthesia and those related to breast augmentation surgery in Geneva.
Concerning anaesthesia: The anaesthetist will explain the risks and answer the patient’s questions during a pre-operative consultation. Current technology means that anaesthesia can be performed in the safest possible conditions for both the patient and the surgical team.
Concerning breast augmentation surgery: The choice of a qualified surgeon, trained in this type of surgery, limits the risks as much as possible, without however eliminating them completely. Dr Xavier Tenorio offers world-renowned expertise in breast augmentation.
Rare but possible complications: Infection requiring antibiotic treatment and sometimes surgical drainage. Formation of a haematoma requiring drainage (evacuation). Decreased sensitivity, particularly in the nipple area, but normal sensitivity generally returns within 6 to 18 months. Problems with the healing process are observed in heavy smokers and diabetic patients. Hypertrophic scars and even keloids may be found in the scars of patients with an unfavourable healing process.
Specific risks of Dual Plan breast implants: These can be divided into three groups depending on the nature of the implant filler. Flods, which can sometimes be observed under the skin, are more commonly associated with saline implants in a retroglandular position. A capsular formation appears around an implant. It consists of a fibrous membrane that envelops any foreign body. In some cases, this membrane thickens, shrinks and forms a true fibrous capsule around the implant, which can distort the shape of the breast and be painful. The frequency of this complication cannot be estimated in general terms, as it varies according to the indication for surgery, the type of implant and the procedure.

Treatment consists of releasing the tension around the implant by incising the capsule (it seems that textured implants and those placed behind the muscle have a lower overall rate of capsule formation). Rupture and deflation can occur as a result of deterioration of the implant shell, violent trauma or a manufacturing defect.Rupture of a cohesive silicone implant may go unnoticed after implant placement and breast augmentation. The cohesive silicone remains confined in the capsule around the implant and causes only slight deformation. However, rupture of the capsule following perforation can result in silicone leakage with potential granuloma formation.rupture of a saline implant results in rapid deflation. In these cases, the implant must be replaced.

Can cancer be monitored with implants? Clinical monitoring is straightforward when the implants are placed behind the mammary gland. However, the presence of an implant can alter the ability of X-rays to detect breast cancer. For this reason, people with implants should tell their radiologist, who may use specific, adapted methods (ultrasound, digital mammography).

To sum up, there is no reason to overestimate the risks, but it is important to realise that any surgical operation, however apparently simple, always involves a small element of risk. Perhaps this reading will raise new questions, which our reception team will be ready to answer at our clinic in Geneva, Switzerland.

Geneva is an excellent place for breast augmentation surgery. The city has reputable facilities and board-certified surgeons with years of experience in the field. These experts offer consultations and medical assessments to help identify the ideal type of implant for the condition of your breasts. These sessions are crucial, as this is the time to decide on the ideal type of incision based on the surgeon’s and patient’s preferences. Breast augmentation in Geneva is generally an in-patient procedure. The procedure itself takes about 1 hour, but surgeons need time to monitor progress before discharging you. You will need to stay in Geneva until Dr Xavier Tenorio gives you permission to go home. The cost of breast augmentation in Geneva varies according to the individual case. But bear in mind that the price could be higher or lower depending on your preferences, the level of expertise required and many other factors.

Choosing the size and shape of your silicone breast implants is a very personal decision. We’ll suggest what’s best for you based on what you want from your operation and the proportions of your body, but choosing exactly the shape you want your breasts to be may seem like a daunting prospect, but it doesn’t have to be.

To determine the right breast implant size for you, you need to choose the implant shape, volume and profile that’s right for your unique body. Breast augmentation professionals work in cubic centilitres (cc), and as bra manufacturers only use cup sizes, it’s important to know which breast implant size is right for you based on your bra size.

• As a general rule, the most common breast implant size is between 300 and 500 cm3.
• 400cc implants are generally the most common.
• Implants in the 300cc to 360cc range are generally sufficient to give women a fuller shape without significantly altering their figure.

If you are considering breast augmentation, you will need to take into account a number of factors, such as your height and weight, the current shape and size of your breasts, and the characteristics of your chest wall and breast tissue.

Breast implants are generally around 125 cm3 in size, but in rare cases can be as small as 80 cm3, offering some of the following benefits:Smaller implants can improve the appearance of breast augmentation, as a more subtle breast implant can provide an improvement without radically changing the shape. Smaller breast implants generally mean a smaller scar, which greatly reduces the risk of breast-related problems, such as back or neck pain. Smaller breast implants generally mean a smaller scar, which greatly reduces the risk of breast-related problems such as back or neck pain.Smaller breast implants are suitable for women who are looking for a more natural-looking breast augmentation or who want smaller breasts for practical reasons, such as exercise or finding the right bra size.

Breast augmentation needs vary from patient to patient, and the largest implants are generally considered to be 800 cm3 or more. The largest size of breast implant approved by the Public Health Authority is up to 800cm3, which covers silicone gel breast implants and saline breast implant shells, the latter being more common in larger breast augmentation procedures, as saline implants can be inserted during the procedure and filled to the desired size afterwards.

The most common implant size varies between 200 and 850 cm3. As breast implants are available in almost any size and shape, the sizing process is essential and must take into account individual proportions, such as shoulder width, ribcage shape, hip width, breast width and waist-to-hip circumference ratio.

To determine the breast implant size that’s right for you, there are a few things you need to consider. As bra manufacturers don’t work in cubic centilitres (cc), you need to understand the general rule of thumb for increasing your cup size according to your breast implants.It generally takes around 200 cc to increase your breast size by one cup size, but this depends on the bras you choose and how the manufacturer determines cup sizes. When it comes to knowing how much you want to increase your cup size, the following proportional measurements can help you make your decision: How to choose the right breast implant size for you There are many factors to consider when choosing the right breast implant size for you. It’s always your choice, but here are some factors to consider:Don’t think in terms of your bra cup sizeWe’ve already shown you how significant the increase can be when you go up a cup size, but it’s not an exact science because of the bra manufacturer. Instead of basing your goals on the bra size you’d like to wear, patients should be encouraged to understand the cc measurement and try a number of different profiles and sizes that will have a better impact on the final result.Consider the type of implants on offerBreast augmentation comes in different profiles and shapes, the most common being the teardrop or round shape. A teardrop-shaped implant corresponds to the natural shape of the breast, while round implants have a rounded shape. Understanding what’s best for your body will help you make the right decision first time.Get to know your body betterAt your initial consultation, you’ll be asked a number of questions based on your expectations. To choose the ideal breast implant size, you need to familiarise yourself with your body. Measurements will be taken, including your build, weight, height, shoulder width and current breast size, all of which will be taken into account when choosing the right breast implant.Think about your lifestyleBreast implants are there to improve your life and your body. They should not prevent you from living the life you want. By telling your doctor about all your hobbies, you can ensure that the implants you choose will not prevent you from carrying out your daily activities. Many sportswomen have undergone breast augmentation or reduction without any discomfort or difficulty.Know your “why “Some people choose breast augmentation to enhance their breasts, but others don’t want to draw more attention to themselves. People choose breast implants for a number of reasons. Whether you want to feel more confident on the beach or you want people to treat you with more respect, the right size breast implant will give you confidence and credibility in the right way.

Breast augmentation is an essential procedure for many aesthetic and medical reasons, so it’s important to find a reputable Swiss clinic that offers low-risk options and top-quality services like the Aesthetics Clinic. In this way, you can achieve the best possible results with the minimum of complications or risks, and resuming sport in this sense is a big question.Resuming sport after breast augmentation depends on the type of surgery undergone and the patient’s state of recovery.

In general, it is recommended not to engage in strenuous physical exercise for the first few weeks after surgery to avoid excessive strain on the breast tissue.Recovery time varies according to the type of surgery. If the patient has undergone breast augmentation with an implant, she should be able to resume light physical activity after about 4 to 6 weeks, but should avoid exercise that strains the pectoral muscles for about 12 weeks. If the patient has undergone breast augmentation by lipofilling or fat transfer, she can resume light physical activity after about 2 to 4 weeks, but should avoid chest exercises for about 4 weeks.It is important to discuss specific recommendations for resuming sport after breast augmentation with Dr Xavier Tenorio, as each case is unique.

It is also important to start slowly and progress gradually to avoid any pain or complications. At the Aesthetics clinic you’ll also find expert advice on rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, laser treatments, internal surgery and facial injections with hyaluronic acid.After breast surgery, such as breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift or breast reconstruction, it’s generally advisable to move around quickly and increase your activity. However, when you are resting, the way you position yourself can promote better healing. Dr Xavier Tenorio, an internationally renowned plastic surgeon based in Geneva, gives you some valuable advice on this subject. Sleeping on your back after breast augmentationParticularly in the first few weeks after the operation, sleeping on your back, usually wearing a surgical bra, allows the breasts to heal in a more comfortable and desirable position.

Sleeping on your stomach or on your side can put pressure on the breasts, including the implants, and can lead to unwanted early displacement of your implants. If you are accustomed to sleeping on your stomach or side, Dr Xavier Tenorio of Geneva suggests that you practise sleeping on your back in the weeks leading up to the operation, and patients can usually safely return to their preferred sleeping style four to six weeks after the operation. Some women may find that their sleep preferences have changed after breast surgery. For example, some women with breast implants may find it more comfortable to sleep on their side rather than on their stomach.Use several pillows to elevate your headPlacing your head slightly above your body while you sleep serves several functions simultaneously. Firstly, if two or three pillows support your neck, it will be more difficult for you to lie on your side or stomach during the night, even unconsciously. Secondly, this elevated position can be more comfortable because it reduces swelling. Take steps to promote better sleep Your body does much of its healing while you sleep.

So it’s important to make getting a good night’s sleep a priority. To make sure you fall asleep more easily, avoid drinks and foods containing caffeine, such as coffee, tea, soft drinks and chocolate, the night before you go to bed. Set the thermostat to a temperature at which you are most comfortable and use fresh sheets. Don’t look at your phone or the television in the hour before you go to bed, as the blue light emanating from these devices can interfere with sleep.

Breast hypoplasia is what women most often refer to as “no breasts”. In more medical terms, it refers to breasts that are underdeveloped or not developed at all. For all women, the breast is a relational organ, a mirror of their femininity and an element strongly associated with motherhood. Rationally speaking, this could be nothing serious and, from some points of view, even attractive, but for the female figure, not being able to enjoy breasts that fall within the most classic canons is generally a source of great psychological discomfort.

First of all, it is important to stress that this condition does not involve any health problems. There are generally three main causes

1. genetics
2. breast-feeding
3. significant weight loss.

As far as family history is concerned, the problem is generally stable in the post-pubertal phase, i.e. around the age of 18-20, when the period of development comes to an end. Breastfeeding can also compromise the volume of the breast, especially if it is small to begin with, leading in most cases to emptying, especially of the upper pole. Even if you decide to go on a diet, it really is essential to proceed gradually to prevent the mammary gland from shrinking excessively, also compromising the elasticity and tone of the skin, which runs the risk of becoming an “empty sack”, sometimes wrinkled.

The remedy is simple, although plastic surgery is necessary.

Breast hypoplasia can in fact be corrected by a breast augmentation procedure, which aims to give volume and shape to ‘flat’ breasts, guaranteeing naturalness and harmony while respecting physical conformity. Breast augmentation is achieved through the use of specific breast implants which, positioned – in most cases – behind the pectoralis major muscle, will restore the desired femininity.
