Large breasts are a trend, and women not endowed with them by nature may feel less attractive. That is why some of them decide for making their breasts larger by undergoing breast augmentation. Breast augmentation helps not only patients with underdeveloped breasts, but also those suffering from sagging breasts caused by a reduced gland.

PředWomen can choose not only the size of their breasts, but also their shape. They can decide between round implants and those in a teardrop shape, which follow the natural breast profile. As part of breast augmentation, also possible asymmetry can be corrected, so that certain women may stop feel ashamed when, for instance, undressing at a swimming pool or being seen in underwear. In the case of strongly sagging breasts, also their reshaping – or modelling – can be performed. Such intervention is usually performed on patients over 18 years of age, however, also a seventeen years old girls can be treated with their parents’ approval. The procedure depends on the individual health condition and expectations of the client. Breast feeding is not put in danger, as the main lactiferous ducts are not interrupted. If a client intends to become pregnant during the next 1 to 2 years, the operation is not recommended before 6 to 12 months after the end of breast feeding. However, performing the treatment before pregnancy is no problem.
Breast implants can be inserted in two locations. Udder the mammary gland and under the muscle. The physician decides on which option is appropriate for the particular patient on the basis of her physical dispositions. Women often ask whether their breast feeding function is not endangered by the augmentation treatment. Neither of the two variants has any impact on breast feeding, this type of plastic surgery causes no restriction in this respect.
more infromationBreast augmentation brings very good results and is fairly efficient. The outcome is visible immediately and women usually feel totally satisfied. Besides various implant locations, the surgeon also needs to choose the access path for inserting the implant. One of the possibilities is an incision on the border of the light and dark parts of the areola. However, incisions can also be made in the inframammary fold or in the armpit.
A prior individual consultation is required in order to select the way that best suites the patient and that is, at the same time, most appropriate with regard to her health. During such consultation, the physician also explains the whole procedure. The surgeon performs breast augmentation under general anaesthesia, the patient is hospitalized for one or two days.
After breast plastic surgery, hospitalization usually takes one or two days. Afterwards, the patient can be released to home care. After the augmentation, the breasts are wrapped in dressings, which the surgeon replaces by a special bra when the drains are removed on the 1st or 2nd day after the procedure.

The patient returns to the clinic in order to have the non-absorbable hypodermic sutures removed in over two weeks from the surgery. However, we often use absorbable sutures that do not require removing. During six weeks after the surgery, an elastic bra should be worn without underwire and scars should be covered with a strip of low allergy adhesive dressing. For five weeks, the patients should not sleep on their belly in order to avoid damage to their breasts. On a late stage, pressure massages are suitable according to the surgeon’s instructions. A week after breast augmentation, the patient can carefully resume her usual activities without straining. More physically demanding activities are not recommended earlier than four weeks after the surgery.
Breast augmentation usually involves no complications. However, certain recommendations should be observed before the intervention. For instance, the patient must undergo ultrasonic breast examination and optimally also mammography. From the midnight before the intervention, the patients should not eat, drink and smoke. It is not suitable to use any cream or body lotion, the underarms must be shaven.
For three weeks before the intervention, medications should not be administered containing acetylsalicylic acid. The reason is that they influence blood clotting. Healing capabilities differ in each individual, that is why it is impossible to exclude hypertrophy of the scar even when the best clinic is chosen and all the recommendations followed. However, this problem usually fades out within 12 to 18 months. Wounds around the areolas generally heal with a nice thin scar.
Here, you will find all of the preoperative evaluation and instruction prior your operation.
May not be performed sooner than 14 days before the operation.

You have no reason to worry, we only use implants of renowned brands:
Many women ask, which breast implants are the best. In 85 % of cases, the Esthé clinic uses MENTOR® breast implants filled with the silicone MemoryGel®. We are convinced of their quality. The reason is a general satisfaction and high quality requirements. MENTOR MemoryGel® breast implants have been the choice of over 2 million women throughout the world.
The right choice of implant is highly individual. To make the resulting effect fulfil your expectations, the implant type should be appropriate for your particular bodily constitution. When selecting your implant and breast modelling, your plastic surgeon will naturally assist you. In general, the choice of breast implants is based on several criteria. The main ones include size, base shape, profile height, gel cohesivity and implant type. They are either round or anatomical in a „drop“ or tear shape.
Drop shaped anatomic breast implants are more appropriate for a natural breast shape with a smooth transition, while round implants provide a more pronounced neckline. You can imagine them for instance together with a push-up bra.
However, there are exceptions that may change the overall effect. For example when the breast gland is very small, round implants may produce an unnatural result. When your breast is distinctly shaped, but not in line with your wish, you can use a round implant to add some volume and lift. They add more volume in the upper part than drop shaped ones. A disadvantage of large round implants is that they may lead to the “double bubble” effect. Double breast undulation is thus produced. In such case, anatomic implants are preferable for a stronger breast effect.
If you desire large breast implants of 400 ml or more, anatomic implants will always look more natural than round ones. They will form a more generous neckline, and that is why they are sometimes called drop shaped implants. They are intended for a more natural breast shape.
The life of breast implants is not restricted by the manufacturer. You will be recommended to attend a regular breast check-up once a year. If an implant continuity rupture is identified, you should consult a surgeon to assess the situation and consider whether a replacement of implants is required. Such decision is highly individual. Implants are regularly subject to quality tests. For instance, during strength tests, MENTOR® implant casings, or shells, are extended to 450 % of their original length. The shell must pass the test without any damage!
The implant condition is thoroughly inspected during the check-up, and if a rupture or fissure is identified, a replacement is always necessary. Conversely, when the capsulotomy and implant are intact, it can be retained. An Esthé physician will assess the situation.
“This always depends on patient’s comfort, some keep their implant even for 20 years. However, our body gradually changes in shape, and this also applies to breasts. Quite simply, natural laws work, causing natural shifts. Then patients usually ask for larger implants including modelling, or removal of implants and a subsequent modelling. However, everything is about consulting with the physician. We recommend attending regular ultrasonic sono or mammo check-ups”, says Esthé clinic’s plastic surgeon Ondřej Mešták, M.D., Ph.D.
Physicians generally trust medicinal silicone. It has been used in medicine for over 50 years. It is a highly reliable, easily sterilizable and biocompatible material.
For example, MENTOR®, as the leading breast implant brand, offers a commitment within their PatientCare Promise limited warranty programme. This programme appreciates the priority of Mentor and provides protection to patients both before and after the intervention. This warranty programme automatically includes all women having undergone breast augmentation using MENTOR® breast implants filled with silicone gel following 1 May 2013.
The ALLERGANPlus™ warranty programme applies to all Natrelle™ silicone implants filled with a gel. The warranty programme only applies to a loss of implant shell integrity leading to an implant rupture requiring surgery. This programme automatically includes women having undergone breast augmentation using Natrelle™ breast implants following 1 January 2008.
