Breast Implant

At Gentle Clinic, our breast implant procedure (breast augmentation) is a sophisticated surgical treatment designed to enhance breast size, improve shape, and restore symmetry. Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where our specialist thoroughly evaluates your anatomy, discusses your aesthetic goals, and helps you understand the available options. During this consultation, we'll discuss important choices including implant type (silicone or saline), size, shape (round or anatomical), placement position (above or below the chest muscle), and incision locations. We use advanced 3D imaging technology to help you visualize potential results with different implant options, ensuring your expectations align with achievable outcomes. Before surgery, you'll receive detailed pre-operative instructions, including guidelines on medications to avoid, dietary restrictions, and lifestyle adjustments like smoking cessation. We'll also conduct necessary medical tests to ensure you're an ideal candidate for safe surgery. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1-2 hours. Our surgeon makes carefully placed incisions based on your anatomy and chosen implant type—either in the inframammary fold (the crease under the breast), periareolar (around the nipple), or transaxillary (in the armpit). Through these discreet incisions, the surgeon creates a precise pocket and strategically places the implant either subglandularly (above the chest muscle) or submuscularly (partially or completely under the chest muscle), depending on your body type and cosmetic goals. After placement, the surgeon verifies proper positioning, symmetry, and appearance before closing the incisions with layered sutures. We use advanced techniques to minimize scarring, and in many cases, scars fade significantly over time, becoming barely noticeable. Following surgery, you'll spend time in our recovery area before being discharged to your hotel with comprehensive aftercare instructions. You'll wear a special supportive garment to minimize swelling and support the implants in their new position. Most patients experience moderate discomfort for 3-5 days, which we manage effectively with prescribed pain medication. The initial recovery period lasts approximately 1-2 weeks, during which you should avoid lifting, pushing, or pulling motions. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and office work within 7-10 days, though strenuous exercise and activities involving chest muscles should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Swelling gradually subsides over 4-6 weeks, with final results becoming apparent after 3-6 months as the implants settle and tissues adapt. Throughout your recovery, our team provides attentive follow-up care with scheduled appointments to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns. While breast implants are not lifetime devices, modern implants are highly durable, with many lasting 10-20 years or longer. We provide guidance on future monitoring and what to expect long-term, including recommendations for periodic check-ups. At Gentle Clinic, we prioritize both aesthetics and safety, ensuring you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results while minimizing risks. Our comprehensive approach includes lifetime support for any questions or concerns related to your breast implants.
