What is breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to change the size and shape of the breasts. It involves the insertion of prostheses, often made of silicone, to increase breast volume. During the operation, an incision is made under the breasts to insert the breast implants, which can be placed either in front of or behind the pectoral muscle. Implants vary in shape, volume and material, and numerous incision and placement methods are available, offering patients many customizable options.
Why choose breast augmentation?
There are many reasons why women consider breast augmentation. Frequently, women who decide to undergo breast augmentation have a complex about the size of their breasts, which they don’t feel is big enough. They then turn to a reputable aesthetic clinic, such as the Claris Clinic, to gain one or more cup sizes, which they can achieve with breast implants. 
Women with asymmetrical breasts, more precisely asymmetrical breast shape or size, are also ideal candidates for breast augmentation. In this case, the surgeon decides with the patient whether to increase the size of the smaller breast, or reduce the size of the larger breast to achieve the desired breast shape.
Whatever your reasons for undergoing breast augmentation, the Claris Clinic’s main objectives are to restore your self-confidence, so that you can feel good about your body.
How does breast augmentation work?
Preliminary consultation
Before proceeding with the procedure, a preliminary consultation with one of our surgeons is essential. The aim of this meeting is twofold:
- It offers you the opportunity to share your expectations regarding the desired result of your breast augmentation, while establishing a relationship of trust with your surgeon. This exchange is therefore crucial for you to ask any questions you may have, express any doubts you may have, and discuss your reasons for undergoing the procedure.
- For the surgeon, the purpose of this consultation is to understand your motivations and guide you in your decisions. Thanks to his expertise, our specialist will inform you about the procedure and the post-operative steps to take to optimize your recovery. He’ll also advise you on the selection of breast forms, and introduce you to different types to help you make the right choice for you and your body.
Operation sequence
Breast augmentation requires prior consultation with an anaesthetist, as it involves a general anaesthetic. The procedure lasts around 45 minutes. The surgeon then places the prostheses above or below your pectoral muscle, after making an incision either in the breast or in the armpit. These decisions are made in advance of the operation, based on your preferences and physical constitution.
After the operation
After the operation, you will need to follow your surgeon’s recommendations, particularly with regard to :
- Activities to avoid and those permitted
- Recommended post-operative care
- Potential symptoms to watch out for
- Recovery time, generally 4 to 7 days
It’s also vital that you attend your post-operative appointments so that our experts can make sure you’re healing properly and that your breast prosthesis adaptation is going well.
If you have the slightest question, you can rely on our team of surgeons to listen to you and answer all your questions.
What are the risks of breast augmentation?
By choosing a reputable clinic like the Claris Clinic in the Mons area, you reduce the risk of potential complications to a minimum.
However, there are always certain risks associated with any surgical procedure. Here are those concerning breast augmentation:
- Risk of infection: the incision may cause infection.
- Possibility of implant leakage, reversal or rupture, requiring replacement of the silicone prosthesis.
- The scar may be more extensive or visible than expected, but there are specific specific treatments to reduce this complication.
Which implants for your breast augmentation in Mons?
Choose your implant: shape, material and volume
The shape of your breast implant
There are several shape options for your breast implants:– The round implant 
– The anatomical implant
– The ergonomic implant
The materials used in your breast prostheses
Your breast forms can be differentiated by their materials. Silicone is the most frequently used material, as it adapts easily to your morphology and feels natural.
The volume of your breast implant
The volume of your breast implant depends on your wishes and the cup size you wish to achieve after your operation. You’ll need to discuss this with your specialist, so that he or she can guide you and tell you whether the choice is right for you.
Prosthesis placement during breast augmentation
The incision can be made in 3 places, depending on the prostheses chosen:
- The peri-areolar incision leaves a scar on the areola of the breasts
- The infra-mammary incision is the most commonly used incision and is made in the fold under the breast.
- The axillary incision is made in the hollow of the armpit
Similarly, there are three possible implant positions, commonly used for breast augmentation:
- In front of the pectoral muscle
- Behind the pectoral muscle
- The dual plane, combining the other two techniques
How long can I keep a breast implant?
The longevity of breast implants is estimated at between 10 and 15 years, and varies according to your individual characteristics and the implant model selected. It’s crucial to schedule periodic consultations with your surgeon to monitor the condition of your prostheses and quickly identify any complications, such as silicone implant rupture, prosthesis leakage, implant displacement or reversal, or scar-related problems.
If you want to make a implant change or ask your questions, you can consult and seek advice from our team of experts near Mons.
