Our final objective is that it is not noticed that your breast has been operated on, achieving a natural shape and contour and eliminating the stigmas of an artificial, disproportionate or exaggerated surgery. In order to obtain the best aesthetic result, at the Renova Institute we opt, in most cases, to use anatomical prostheses made of highly cohesive gel; for using the submammary approach, that is, a small incision of between 4 and 6 centimeters that is located in the submammary fold; and by positioning the implant in the subpectoral or retropectoral plane.

The breast augmentation operation

In the first diagnostic appointment, your plastic surgeon will explain the different types of anatomical and round prostheses that we use and will perform a first breast examination.  Through personalized measurements and the use of specific testers placed between the bra and the chest, we will jointly choose the shape, size, and projection of your breast implant and it will help us to anticipate the result of your operation.

In less than two hours your breast augmentation operation will be over. Do not remove the bra or bandage with which you left the operating room. Your surgeon and only he will tell you when you can take it off. Once your hospital stay is over, you must follow the specific medical treatment recommended, also recommending sleeping on your back, wearing a specific bra or bandage, not smoking, not driving and avoiding any physical exertion in the week following the breast augmentation surgery. chest.

During the first two or three days, the swelling of the breasts will make your discomfort more important, and you should keep your arms at rest. You should keep your elbows close to your body, although it is recommended that you move your back and shoulders very gently in circular movements and that you try to touch your ear with your shoulder, in order to avoid back pain.

During the first three nights you can sleep a little sitting up in order to relieve your discomfort. For this you can help yourself with one or two pillows. It is important in these first moments that you try to sleep on your back. It's not uncommon for one side to bother you more than the other. This isolated data does not usually have any negative meaning. Sometimes abdominal swelling or swelling in the lower limbs, constipation or menstrual changes appear, changes that will normalize little by little. Avoid any exercise with your arms or any work activity that involves mobility or repeated efforts with your arms. This could delay or even complicate your evolution.

With good analgesia and a few days off work, you will be able to return to your daily and work life within a week. In the following weeks you should rest your arms to a certain extent and not make any efforts, in order to avoid a possible displacement of the implants, bleeding, pain, discomfort or contractures of the pectoral muscle. In order to get the best result and avoid complications, you should avoid sports activities for a period of three to six weeks; you should also delay a few months the performance of exercises such as running, swimming or lifting weights.

The final appearance of your breasts will not be naturalized until 6 months after surgery, so you will be observing some changes in their shape. Remember that we use anatomical and round prostheses of the highest quality, so they have an indefinite duration and a lifetime guarantee in case of breakage, but this does not prevent us from controlling their evolution annually, to ensure their correct condition over the years. .
