Breast augmentation in Nivelles

What is breast augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation is one of the most widely performed plastic surgeries in the world. It focuses on modifying the size or shape of the breasts by inserting implants. These implants are inserted in front of or behind the pectoral muscle, depending on the patient’s breasts and wishes.

When it comes to cosmetic surgery, it’s essential to ensure that the procedure is carried out in a reputable clinic. The choice of surgeon is also important. Make sure your surgeon is fully trained and experienced.

At the Claris Clinic near Nivelles, our surgeons are among the most renowned in Belgium. We share a common goal: to ensure harmonious results.

Why choose breast augmentation?

There are many reasons for wanting a breast augmentation. More often than not, women who decide to take this step feel a complex. They feel that their breasts are too small. They then call on a renowned surgeon to increase their cup size. It’s important for us to make sure that the results are perfectly in line with their wishes.

Another reason for breast augmentation is breast asymmetry. This means that the breasts differ in size or shape. This asymmetry may result from weight loss, breastfeeding or a genetic cause.

Breast asymmetry can be a source of discomfort for some women. To rebalance the breasts, the surgeon can increase the size of the smaller breast through breast augmentation. This is done in accordance with the patient’s wishes.

Whatever your motivation, our primary objective at Claris Clinic is to restore your self-confidence. For us, this is the definition of a successful breast augmentation. We provide personalized support throughout the process. Our aim is to meet your expectations in the best possible way.

How does breast augmentation work?

Preliminary consultation

The preliminary consultation is a privileged moment of exchange with your surgeon. It’s during this time that you’ll get to know each other and establish a bond of trust. Your surgeon’s role is to guide you through the breast augmentation process.

The first consultation is a time for you to ask all your questions. It also enables the surgeon to understand your motivations and expectations, and to guide you in your choices.

Operation sequence

The procedure takes around 40 minutes and is performed under general anaesthetic. This is why a prior consultation with an anesthetist is mandatory.

The surgeon performs the operation with the utmost delicacy. He begins by making an incision either in the breast or in the armpit. This allows the prosthesis to be placed at the desired volume, above or below the pectoral muscle. These technical choices will be made with the surgeon during prior consultations, taking into account your preferences and expectations to ensure that you achieve an optimal result.

After the operation

The success of your breast augmentation also depends on the post-operative period. That’s why, at the Claris Clinic near Nivelles, we make sure you get back on your feet after surgery.

It is therefore essential that you attend your scheduled post-operative appointments regularly. Your surgeon will take the necessary time to check your healing. During these appointments, he will also check your adaptation to the prostheses.

What are the risks of breast augmentation?

To minimize the risk of complications, you need to choose a reputable clinic. It’s important to do your homework and choose experienced surgeons to ensure a successful breast augmentation in line with your expectations.

However, as with any surgical procedure, there are certain risks:

• Risk of infection: infection may occur at the incision made to place the breast implants.
• The implant: The breast implant may leak, break or turn inside out. The implant must then be replaced.
• Healing : in some patients, the scar may be more visible than expected. The Claris Clinic will offer you specific treatments to minimize their appearance.

There is also another risk. This concerns dissatisfaction with the result of breast augmentation. Some patients’ aesthetic tastes may change, or a slight asymmetry may still be noticeable. These complications can usually be avoided by discussing them with your surgeon.

Which implants for your breast augmentation near Nivelles?

Choose your implant: shape, material and volume

The shape of your breast implant

Breast implants come in a variety of forms:

– The anatomical implant: This is a teardrop-shaped implant that gives your breasts a more natural appearance.

– The round implant : This prosthesis, as its name suggests, has a rounded shape. This gives your breasts a fuller appearance.

– The ergonomic implant : This prosthesis also has a rounded shape. It differs from the round implant in that it is less filled. This minimizes the risk of the implant turning over, while giving the breast a natural appearance.

The materials used in your breast prostheses

During your initial consultation, your surgeon will present you with several implants. He will also suggest different materials for your breast prostheses.

The most frequently used implants are those made of silicone. In fact, they give a natural look by adapting perfectly to your morphology.

There is another type of implant. This is filled with saline solution. However, this prosthesis is rarely used, as many women find it uncomfortable.

The volume of your breast implant

Your breast size is defined by the result you want to achieve and the number of cup sizes you wish to gain. Nevertheless, it is essential to take the time to discuss this with your surgeon. The specialist will tell you if the chosen volume is right for your body shape.

It is important to note that an implant that is too large may cause back or neck pain. Indeed, this could alter your posture and lead to difficulties in everyday life.

Prosthesis placement during breast augmentation

While respecting your choices, the surgeon will make an incision during the operation. Different incisions are available. Each allows implants to be inserted in different locations:

• Peri-areolar incision which is made on the areola of the breasts.
• Inframammary incision is the most commonly used. It leaves a scar in the fold under the breast.
• Axillary incision which is made in the armpit.

The positioning of breast prostheses can also be considered on several levels:

• In front of the pectoral muscle: This is the most commonly used method. The surgeon does not touch the pectoral muscles.
• Behind the pectoral muscle: This more delicate technique involves placing the implants under the muscle. This is why it is mainly used for patients with little breast tissue.
• Dual plane: This involves placing the implant partially under the pectoral muscle.

How long can I keep a breast implant?

Breast implants can be kept for 10 to 15 years. This varies from patient to patient and from implant to implant. It is still necessary to make regular appointments with your surgeon. This will ensure that there are no complications among the following:

• Implant leakage or rupture
• Implant displacement
• Incision healing complications
