A change in sensitivity (increase or decrease) after breast augmentation is normal. The breast implants can also change sensitivity during breastfeeding and sex. This change goes away in most cases. However, if it is damage to the nerve, this change may be permanent - this is very rarely the case.
Breast augmentation is not designed to lift the breasts. These implants do little to lift the breasts. If you would like to lift your breasts a significant amount, we would probably rather advise a breast lift (mastopexy).
No creams, pills, massages or devices can increase breast size or correct imbalances. This can only be achieved through aesthetic surgery with implants or autologous fat. Certain life events can increase the size of the breasts, such as pregnancy, weight gain or taking birth control pills, but these should not be considered as an alternative for breast augmentation.
This is where the consultation process becomes important. It is important that you communicate to your plastic and cosmetic surgeon what the desired outcome of the surgery is. Your surgeon will then choose a size that fits your anatomy, lifestyle and desires. Breast implants placed under the muscle have a lower profile, and silicone implants tend to look more natural.
If you really don't like the size of your breasts anymore, you can either reduce the size of your implants or have the implants removed altogether (explantation). However, it is important to remember that the implants will stretch your skin a bit. If you have the implants removed in our clinic, your natural breast may look slightly different than before the breast augmentation. We can discuss this and also the cost with you individually in a consultation.
As a rule, you should allow at least 6 months after the end of breastfeeding to pass before breast augmentation. This is to ensure that the breast has developed back to its normal shape. It is important to do this in order for you to have a beautiful result in the long run.
Studies have shown that silicone levels in women with breast implants are no higher than in women without implants. Many women have no problem breastfeeding with breast implants.
Breast implants can stay in your body for your entire life and do not need to be replaced regularly. There may be reasons why women choose to have implants replaced or removed. For example, if their personal tastes or body changes. Replacement or removal is possible at any time in our clinic.
About 3 months scar tissue will form around the breast implants. Therefore, the pressure of an underwire bra can cause a permanent indentation in the scar. This is why our experienced surgeons recommend that you refrain from wearing underwire bras for at least 3 months and continue to wear them after the healing period is over.
Of course. Good health is more important than age.
It is recommended that you be about your ideal weight before surgery. Severe weight loss after breast augmentation may alter the results. Possible negative side effects of weight loss include ptosis (sagging breasts) or a decrease in breast volume. Significant weight gain can also negatively affect breast size and appearance.
This can happen, but it is very rare. You can minimize the stretching of your skin by choosing smaller implants.
If you are pregnant prior to breast augmentation, you should postpone the procedure until after you are done breastfeeding. If you become pregnant after breast augmentation, your breasts will naturally become larger. How big this change will be depends on your body as well as the implants used.
"There is no proof that silicone implants are responsible for diseases to the whole body. Women are constantly exposed to silicone throughout their daily lives." Special studies from the Institute of Medicine have even shown that cow's milk and baby milk available for purchase have higher silicone content than milk from nursing mothers who have breast implants.
This depends on a number of factors. For example, on the implant, how your body holds it, possible capsular contractions, and other factors.
Of course. Going to a tanning salon or sunbathing will not harm breast implants. The implant may become a little warm when tanning and may cool down only slowly. However, we recommend shielding the incision area from direct sunlight for the first year after surgery. Sunbathing can permanently darken the scar.
Changes in pressure can cause the shells of the implants to expand or contract slightly. This may cause a few air bubbles to form, which may cause gurgling sounds. However, these will recede after 48 hours at the latest.
Extensive research and studies have proven that plastic augmentation by implants does not increase the risk of breast cancer.
You can still have mammograms if you have breast implants. The implants do not distort the results. Your radiologist will simply use a different methodology.
We would be happy to do our best to create the bust size you have been dreaming of for so long.
