Frequently
asked questions
Breast
Augmentation
What
are the different kinds
of Breast Implants?
See
our separate area for Breast
Implants
and en evaluation of our
doctors regarding saline
and silicone implants.
Are
there some different
types of Breast
Augmentation procedures
?
Yes:
Depending upon personal
requirements the implant
can be brought in
position through
different incisions:
There is the
peri-areolar incision
which is made at the
border of the brownish
skin that surrounds your
nipple. The
Infra-mammary or
"Crease"
Incision is very
popular; this is where
the incision is placed a
little above where the
breast and rib cage
meet, on your breast
lobe. Another
alternative incision is
the Trans-Axillary or
Armpit Incision, which
is made near your
armpit. By the TUBA
(trans-umbilical) breast
augmentation the
incision is made near
the navel and positioned
in endoscopic way.
The implant can finally
by placed either upon or
underneath the chest
muscle:
"Sub-glandular"
is the act of placing
the implant over the
pectoral muscles under
the glands and tissue of
the breast. By
"Sub-muscular"
the implant is placed
under the muscle fascia.
Which
pro and contras have the
different type of
positioning of the
implants ?
The experienced surgeon achieves very good results with all the
mentioned procedures.
The Armpit Incision
enables on one hand a
practically invisible
scar. However it is less
frequently applied,
since the necessary
corrections at the
beginning of the large
chest muscle are to be
executed more difficulty
than with the more
direct access by the
Peri-areolar or
Infra-mammary Incision.
The Infra-mammary
Incision is technically
the simplest one to
carry out. Even the
scars are relatively
inconspicuous. The
Peri-areolar Incision
requires more ability
from the surgeon in
order to obtain the
optimal final breast
form as well as the
desired
inconspicuousness of the
scars.
Which
type of implant is ideal
for me personally ?
The
selection of the
materials, the form and
the size of the implant,
as well as the type of
the placement depend on
various factors. Each
individual criterion has
to be evaluated from the
experienced surgeon
under different
criteria: From the
standpoint of
physiology, health and
even psychology.
The quality of the
consultation with the
selection of the correct
materials, the ideal
form, the desired "
final dimension "
and the correct
positioning of the
implants depends on the
degree of experience of
the plastic surgeon.
Can
I take the flight back
home after operation ?
After
leaving the clinic our
specialists recommend an
additional private stay
of 1-3 days in the near
accommodation for
another check/control
before leaving for home. After
3 days after the
operation there is
absolutely no
contraindication to take
the flight for home.
Can
the implants rupture in
the airplane ?
This
is a fairy-tale which
goes back to an
unique/single happening long time ago.
Statistically the risk
of rupture in the
airplane is not higher
than in other places. The air
pressure is balanced
out, the remaining
pressure fluctuations in the airplane
are small (the same
change of pressure as
for people moving to
mountains). Further more the
latest generation of
cohesive silicone gel
implants is highly
elastic and resistant.
The likelihood of a
rupture is extremely
low.
