One breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that aims to increase breast volume, improve their shape and give them a more harmonious curve.
When the shape of the breast needs to be changed, the procedure is called breast plasty and can be performed at the same time as the volume increase.
The increase in breast volume can be achieved either by the implementation of prosthetics Mammaries, or by thefat injection called lipofilling or lipostructure or fat grafts.
In the first case, incisions are necessary, but the scars are well camouflaged in the natural folds of the breasts or under the arms.
In the second case, almost no scars are left.
The surgeon will meet with his patient to work out with her a project personalized and which will best suit its morphology (choice of the augmentation method, placement of prostheses in front of or behind the pectoral muscles, the choice of prostheses, etc.).
The patient will be informed of the report benefit/risk of each surgical technique.

It is possible to use the Urgotouch laser immediately after surgery to promote the attenuation of scars.
Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
Approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and a half depending on the case.
The duration of hospitalization is short. 24 hours or 12 hours on an outpatient basis.
Pain depends on whether the implant is positioned behind the pectoral muscle or in front of it.
However, pain is well managed by taking painkillers and anti-inflammatories.
As with all procedures, there are risks and complications can occur (bleeding, infection, disunity, scarring hazards, etc.). These are infrequent and can be taken care of quickly by the surgeon during post-operative checks. An information sheet from the French Society of Plastic Surgery will be given to you before the procedure.
My approach is initially to listen to patients in order to determine if their expectations are realistic and achievable and if the risk-benefit ratio is in favor of an intervention.
