The best candidates for breast enlargement are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate for this cosmetic surgery.
Type of the Incision Made by Plastic Surgeons
The plastic surgeon creates a cavity where the breast implants will be placed, either directly under the mammary tissue or under the pectoral muscle. The surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and it takes 1–2 hours.
It is not possible to sleep on the abdomen for a period of 5 weeks. Within a few days you can shower. When you are released from the clinic you are given the instructions from your Prague plastic surgeon how to exchange the dressings. Every 2–3 days we will take you for a free check up to the clinic, so your plastic surgeon can keep an eye on your recovery.
You will be able to resume everyday activities after a few days, but must avoid lifting objects over the head or making fast movements during the first 4–6 weeks. If you have small children who require a lot of lifting, you need a plan for additional help during the initial recovery period.
The individual post-operative process is very important and you can participate on that by following the instructions given by your plastic surgeon and a healthy diet.
You might also feel unhappy after a few days. This is normal and is caused due to the stress, general anaesthetic, lack of patience with the healing problems, more pain than you expected or the fact that because you underwent breast enlargement cosmetic surgery abroad you miss your home and family.
Important, Before You Fly:
Please advise us if you are taking aspirins, as we need to make sure that you have at least two clear weeks of not taking them, before any operation.
When choosing your operation date, please make sure that the start date of your period does not commence on date of operation. The operation will be cancelled, and we cannot be held responsible for any costs associated with rebooking of flights etc., - around new date(s) offered. Please note: It does not matter if your period starts immediately after the operation. If in doubt, please select dates which you can be sure about, or see your local GP, as they can offer tablets/medication to delay your period.

Breast Augmentation
Introduction
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
Breast Augmentation (Breast Enlargement) - Cosmetic Surgey Abroad, Prague, Czech Republic.
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 Purpose:
Primarily it is to enlarge and/or change the shape of the breasts. In some cases to repair the breast(s) after trauma/surgery.The Treatment:
This procedure should be carried out by a surgeon with relevant skills and experience.The Best Candidates for Breast Enlargement
Breast enlargement can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people treat you differently. Before you decide to have cosmetic surgery, think carefully about your expectations.The best candidates for breast enlargement are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate for this cosmetic surgery.
Preparation for Breast Enlargement
Pharmaceuticals containing acetylsalicylic acid (Acylpirin, Aspirin, and Anopyrin etc.) should not be used for 3 weeks before the Breast Enlargment cosmetic surgery, as they decrease clotting time of blood. In case you are a smoker you are advised to stop smoking or at least to cut down on cigarettes. Smoking slows down recovery process and it can also increase a risk or complications.Type of Breast Implants
- Saline implants – many clinics do not use this type of implants. These implants are about half as expensive as silicone gel implants, but they feel less soft and natural then silicone gel implants.
- Silicone gel implants – the best quality of implants available in the world right now. These implants have a shell made of several layers of silicone rubber. The silicon used in gel implants is semi-solid (non-runny and less likely to migrate). Most plastic surgeons use McGhan and Eurosilicons silicon gel breast implants.
Type of the Incision Made by Plastic Surgeons
- Periareolar – the incision is made around the bottom or the inner half of the edge of the areola (the dark circular area surrounding the nipple). Damaged ducts will not be available for breastfeeding, but because the area damaged is small, you will still be able to breastfeed. These scars are usually thin because the areola skin heals better than the surrounding breast skin.
- Inframammary – this incision is made in the crease below the breast. The scars may end up a little wider than those from periareolar incisions, but the dissection for the augmentation does not go through the breast tissue at all.
- Transaxillary – the incision is made in the underarm. Breast asymmetry after surgery with this incision is more common.
Type of Implant’s Placement
- Submuscular augmentation – this placement gives you the best chance of having soft breasts with good shape in case your breasts have normal shape, the same size and are not saggy. With this incision no breast ducts are ever cut and the breast tissue itself is never damaged.
- Subglandular augmentation – this placement is advised for clients, whose breasts are slightly saggy. This might be the best for these clients to achieve the natural shape because the implants can be placed slightly lower, thereby centering the implants behind the nipple. In general clients experience less post-operative pain if the breast implant is placed on the top of the muscles.
Type of the stitches
- dissolving – do not need to be removed
- classical – need to be removed in 12–18 days after the breast enlargment cosmetic surgery
Accredited breast implants
Plastic surgeons use only accredited breast implants of the highest quality:
- McGhan – round or anatomical silicon breast implants made in USA
- Eurosilicons – round or anatomical silicon breast implants made in France
Breast Enlargement Operation
Breast enlargement is a simple cosmetic surgery procedure, whereby a small incision is made, through which the breast implant will be inserted and positioned. Three kinds of incision can be made: periareolar, surrounding the areola, axillar, at underarm level or under the breast. In all cases, the incision is very small, so that the resulting scar is almost invisible.The plastic surgeon creates a cavity where the breast implants will be placed, either directly under the mammary tissue or under the pectoral muscle. The surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and it takes 1–2 hours.
Post-Operational Course
This can be clinic dependant, but typically it will follow this format: If a drain is introduced during the operation, it is removed within 24 hours. After the surgery the incisions will be covered with light dressings and you will be placed in a special surgical supportive bra. This bra should be worn at all times (even at night) for 14 days to 3 weeks.It is not possible to sleep on the abdomen for a period of 5 weeks. Within a few days you can shower. When you are released from the clinic you are given the instructions from your Prague plastic surgeon how to exchange the dressings. Every 2–3 days we will take you for a free check up to the clinic, so your plastic surgeon can keep an eye on your recovery.
You will be able to resume everyday activities after a few days, but must avoid lifting objects over the head or making fast movements during the first 4–6 weeks. If you have small children who require a lot of lifting, you need a plan for additional help during the initial recovery period.
The individual post-operative process is very important and you can participate on that by following the instructions given by your plastic surgeon and a healthy diet.
How will I Feel After the Surgery?
After Breast Augmentation surgery you will probably feel tired, sleepy and suffer from pain particularly during the first three days after surgery. Your Prague plastic surgeon will also prescribe antibiotics as a prevention of any potential infection and also tablets for reducing the swelling.You might also feel unhappy after a few days. This is normal and is caused due to the stress, general anaesthetic, lack of patience with the healing problems, more pain than you expected or the fact that because you underwent breast enlargement cosmetic surgery abroad you miss your home and family.
Is the Breast Enlargement Recovery Painful?
According to our client’s experience they do feel some pain after Breast Enlargment surgery, especially during the first days. However, when you will be leaving the clinic you will be prescribe painkillers by your Prague plastic surgeon. You might also feel discomfort, swelling, heaviness, and numbness in the areas where surgery was performed.Possible Risks and Complications – Breast Augmentation
The specific risks and the suitability of Breast Enlargement for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. The most significant risk that occurs in 5% of cases is the capsular contracture, a condition that causes the naturally forming scar tissue around a breast implant to contract, occurs in a very small number of clients and can make the breast feel firmer than normal. While this condition can be addressed surgically, correction is not always permanent. Please bear in mind that all surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
