What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase the volume and shape of the breasts through the placement of breast implants . It is a safe and effective surgery that allows for a more proportionate silhouette and greater self-confidence. In addition to aesthetic improvements, breast augmentation can have emotional benefits, helping patients feel more comfortable with their body image.
Surgical techniques used
The success of breast augmentation surgery depends largely on the surgical technique used. In our clinic, we use cutting-edge methods that minimize scarring and optimize results :
Endoscopic magnification through the armpit
Placement of implants through the inframammary fold
With endoscopic surgery through the armpit
Endoscopic axillary surgery is an innovative, minimally invasive technique that allows for the placement of breast implants without leaving visible scars on the breast. An endoscopic camera is inserted through a small incision in the armpit, providing a precise and detailed view , allowing for greater precision in the procedure and a faster recovery.
Maximum Technological Advancement with Endoscopic Surgery
Scars are invisible on the breast surface. Rapid recovery. Minimal discomfort in the days following surgery. American MENTOR Implants (Highest Quality and Safety)
Through the inframammary folds
This is one of the most widely used techniques, as it allows for greater precision in implant placement and leaves a discreet scar hidden in the natural crease of the breast.
Twenty-minute surgery. No bandages. No drains. Key objective: achieve naturalness with a volume tailored to each woman. Rapid recovery. Minimal pain in the first 24 hours and following days. American MENTOR Implants (Highest Quality and Safety)
Types of breast implants
Today, breast implants offer a wide variety of options to suit each patient’s needs. At our clinic, we work with high-quality implants, ensuring safety and a natural result.
Silicone implants
They are the most commonly used due to their texture and natural appearance. They are filled with a cohesive gel that prevents leakage in the event of breakage.
Anatomical vs. round implants
Anatomical implants have a teardrop shape, providing a more natural appearance, while round implants offer greater volume in the upper breast.
The process of surgery
Breast augmentation is a relatively quick procedure, typically lasting between one and two hours. It is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Depending on the technique used , a small incision is made in the armpit, the inframammary fold, or the areola. Through this incision, the surgeon creates a pocket where the implant will be placed, ensuring a proper position for a natural and harmonious result .

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Although implants undergo quality control, periodic examination and possible replacement are recommended between 8 and 20 years after surgery.
WE WORK WITH MENTOR IMPLANTS
Recognized for their high safety and quality. They have been tested by the FDA and certified by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products.
Postoperative recovery
The postoperative period for breast augmentation is well tolerated by most patients. After surgery, it’s normal to experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be controlled with pain relief. During the first few weeks, it’s recommended to avoid physical exertion and wear a postoperative bra to promote proper implant placement.
Most patients can resume their daily activities within a week, although physical exercise and weight bearing should be avoided for approximately a month.
Expected results
The results of breast augmentation are visible immediately , although the final shape of the breasts is appreciated after the tissues have completely recovered, which usually takes between three and six months.
Today’s breast implants are designed to be long-lasting , but regular check-ups are recommended to ensure their proper condition.

Frequently asked questions about breast augmentation
At what age can breast augmentation be performed?
From the age of 18, when breast development is complete.
Is it a painful surgery?
Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort, which can be managed with painkillers.
Are there any risks or possible complications?
Like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries certain risks, although these are rare when performed by an experienced specialist. Possible complications include capsular contracture (hardening of scar tissue around the implant), infections, or adverse reactions. At our clinic, we maintain rigorous postoperative follow-up to minimize any potential complications.

Modern implants are manufactured through a complex process and undergo extensive quality testing at the companies where they are manufactured. However, absolutely all implants must be replaced sooner or later, depending on how they behave in each person’s body over time. Generally speaking, implants require replacement between 8 and 20 years after surgery.
How to choose the size of implants?
The patient’s anatomical characteristics and expectations are assessed with the help of simulations and sizer tests.
Can I exercise after surgery?
Yes, but only gentle activities after the first week. Impact exercises should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks .
Will I be able to breastfeed after breast augmentation?
In most cases, yes. However, some techniques can affect breastfeeding.
How long will it take to see final results?
Between 3 and 6 months, when the inflammation disappears.
