BREAST ENLARGEMENT

 

Breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as a “breast aug” or “boob job” by patients, involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts. This procedure can also restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, achieve a more rounded breast shape, size, fuller appearance or improve natural breast size asymmetry.

BREAST IMPLANTS

We only use Motiva Implants, with 30 years of experience and regulatory offices in the United States, a European distribution centre in Belgium and a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Costa Rica, Establishment Labs is the next generation breast implant producer with regulatory approvals worldwide. The company is creating the most advanced levels of safety for women seeking to improve their appearance through Motiva’s proprietary technologies and higher quality standards.

Why Motiva? Because of Establishment Labs’ experience and success in advanced product design and development, technological manufacturing and product support, Motiva Implants® Silicone Breast Implants represent the most innovative implants available today:

  • State-of-the-art shell design that results in a strong and durable breast implant.
  • Exceptional elasticity for ease of insertion and smaller incisions.
  • Ultra soft, form-stable filling gel for optimal shape retention and feel.
  • The most complex and advanced range of implant projections to meet the expectations of both the surgeon and patient.
  • Specialised choice of surface texturing, without the use of foreign materials that can damage the implant shell. All of our implants are covered against rupture by the Always Confident Warranty®, for the lifetime of the device, and by our Product Replacement Policy against capsular contracture, Baker grades III and IV for a period of 10 years.

Breast implant safety

Other important considerations:

  • Breast implants are not guaranteed to last a lifetime and future surgery may be required to replace one or both implants
  • Pregnancy, weight loss and menopause may influence the appearance of augmented breasts over the course of your lifetime
  • Breast augmentation requires regular examinations of your breasts’ health and to evaluate the condition of your breast implants

Possible breast augmentation surgery risks include:

  • Anaesthesia risks
  • Bleeding/Hematoma
  • Infection
  • Changes in nipple or breast sensation
  • Poor scarring
  • Wrong or faulty position of the implant
  • Implant leakage or rupture
  • The formation of tight scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture)
  • Fluid accumulation (seroma)
  • Wrinkling of the skin over the implant
  • Persistent pain
  • Possibility of revision surgery

These risks and others will be fully discussed prior to your consent. It is important that you address all your questions directly with your plastic surgeon.

Invasiveness

Small incisions are made under the breasts (2mm). In most cases we use a Keller Funnel with our breast enlargement procedure to ensure the procedure minimally invasive and recovery times are faster.
