Breast surgery can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, it is important however, to be realistic as this surgery will not change anything other than the size of your breasts and it may or may not cause people to treat you differently. Before you decide to undergo breast enlargement cosmetic surgery, honestly evaluate your expectations and discuss them candidly with your surgeon. The best candidates for breast enhancement are women who are looking for an improvement but are not expecting a dramatic change in the way they look. If you are in good health with realistic expectations, you may be a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery.
The plastic surgeon will create a cavity into which the breast implants will be placed, either directly under the mammary tissue or under the pectoral muscle. This surgery is performed under a general anaesthetic and usually last for 1–2 hours.
How Will I Feel After the Surgery?
Straight after surgery you will probably feel tired, sleepy and feel some discomfort and pain especially in the first few post operative days. Your Prague surgeon will also prescribe antibiotics to prevent potential infection and you will also be given tablets to reduce any swelling.
You might also notice that you feel unhappy or depressed a few days after surgery. This is a normal consequence of stress and of undergoing general anaesthetic, frustration with the healing process, more pain than you expected or the fact that you are away from your home and family.

The disappointment or frustration of a small bust can now be overcome by using various implants to create the fullness of natural looking breasts.
Breast surgery is now the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedure. As attitudes have changed particularly over the past five years it has become more widely accepted.
Changing your physical appearance can be as important as maintaining good health or physical fitness. It enhances your fellings of self-esteem and confidence. Before reaching a decision about augmentation the plastic surgeon prefers women who have completed their families because in certain cases breast-feeding can be impaired.

The Best Candidates for Breast Enlargement
Breast surgery can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, it is important however, to be realistic as this surgery will not change anything other than the size of your breasts and it may or may not cause people to treat you differently. Before you decide to undergo breast enlargement cosmetic surgery, honestly evaluate your expectations and discuss them candidly with your surgeon. The best candidates for breast enhancement are women who are looking for an improvement but are not expecting a dramatic change in the way they look. If you are in good health with realistic expectations, you may be a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery.Preparation for Breast Enlargement
Pharmaceuticals containing acetylsalicylic acid (Acylpirin, Aspirin, and Anopyrin etc.) are not to be used for 3 weeks before the Upper Arm Lift cosmetic surgery, as they affect the clotting capability of the blood. If you smoke you are advised to stop smoking or at least to cut down prior to your surgery. Smoking slows down the recovery process and can also pose an increased risk of complications.Type of Breast Implants
- Saline implants – many clinics do not now utilise this type of implants. These implants are about half the cost of silicone gel implants, but they have a harder less natural feel compared to silicone gel implants.
- Silicone gel implants – these are the best quality implants available worldwide at present. These implants are made up of a shell of several layers of silicone rubber. The silicone used in gel implants is semi-solid (less fluid and less likely to migrate). Most plastic surgeons favour the use of McGhan and Eurosilicons silicone gel breast implants.
Breast Enlargement Operation
Breast Enlargement Surgery is a relatively simple cosmetic surgery procedure, whereby a small incision is made through which the breast implant is inserted and positioned. Three kinds of incision can be made: periareolar, axilla, or under the breast. In all cases, the incision is very small, so that the resulting scar when healed, is almost invisible.The plastic surgeon will create a cavity into which the breast implants will be placed, either directly under the mammary tissue or under the pectoral muscle. This surgery is performed under a general anaesthetic and usually last for 1–2 hours.
How is Surgery for Breast Enlargement performed?
Your surgeon will usually carry out your breast enhancement surgery by using one of the following techniques:- Periareolar – In which an incision is made around the bottom or the inner half of the edge of the areola (the dark circular area surrounding the nipple). Ducts damaged by this surgery will not be available for breastfeeding, however the damage is limited to small area so breast-feeding should still be possible. Scars from this surgery are usually thin because the enhanced healing ability of the skin of the areola.
- Inframammary – this incision is made along the natural crease below the breast. The resulting scars may be little wider than those from periareolar incisions, but with this method dissection for the breast augmentation does not go through any breast tissue.
- Transaxillary – With this method, the incision is made in the underarm (the axilla). Asymmetry after this type of surgery is more common.
Type of Implant’s Placement
- Submuscular augmentation – this type of placement gives the best chance of soft breasts with a good shape, with breasts the same size with little or no sagging. This type of incision preserves the breast and the breast tissue is not damaged.
- Subglandular augmentation – this placement is advised for clients who have slightly sagging breasts and represents the best chance for these clients to achieve a natural shape because implants can be placed slightly lower, cantering them behind the nipple. With this procedure clients report experiencing less post-operative pain that those who have had the breast implant placed on the top of the muscles.
Type of the Stitches
- dissolving – these do not need to be removed.
- classical – this type of stitch will need to be removed in 12–18 days after the Breast Enlargement surgery.
Accredited Breast Implants
Plastic surgeons use only accredited breast implants that are of the highest quality such as:
- McGhan – Made in the USA, round or anatomical silicon breast implants
- Eurosilicons – Made in France, round or anatomical silicon breast implants.
Post-Operational Course Post-operational Course
Recovery starts with a 2-3 day stay in the clinic and you will need to wear a special surgical supportive bra, which will need to be worn day and night for 2 –3 weeks. If drains have been placed, they will be removed 1–3 days after the surgery. It will not be possible to sleep on your tummy for a period of five weeks following your surgery. After a few days you will be able to shower. When you are released from the clinic you are given the instructions from your Prague plastic surgeon on how to change your dressings and every 2–3 days we will collect you for a free check up at the clinic, so your plastic surgeon can monitor your recovery. The individual post-operative process is very important and you can participate in that by following the instructions given by your plastic surgeon and a healthy diet.How Will I Feel After the Surgery?
Straight after surgery you will probably feel tired, sleepy and feel some discomfort and pain especially in the first few post operative days. Your Prague surgeon will also prescribe antibiotics to prevent potential infection and you will also be given tablets to reduce any swelling.You might also notice that you feel unhappy or depressed a few days after surgery. This is a normal consequence of stress and of undergoing general anaesthetic, frustration with the healing process, more pain than you expected or the fact that you are away from your home and family.
Is the Breast Enlargement Recovery Painful?
According to our client’s experience they do feel some pain after this surgery, especially during the first days. However, when you are discharged from the clinic you will be prescribed painkillers by your Prague plastic surgeon that should deal adequately with any pain. You might also feel discomfort, swelling, heaviness, and numbness in the areas where surgery was performed but this is quite normal and will subside in a few days.Possible Risks and Complications – Breast Augmentation
The specific risks and the suitability of Breast surgery for any particular patient can be determined only at the time of consultation. There are risks and complications that can occur and in 5% of cases capsular contraction occurs. This is a condition that causes the natural scar tissue that forms around a breast implant, to contract, and occurs in a very small number of clients. Capsular contraction can make the breast feel firmer. While it is possible to address this condition, correction is not always permanent and it must always be realised that any and all surgical procedures carry some degree of risk. Other more minor complications that do not affect the outcome do occasionally occur and major complications with Breast Augmentation are rare.
