Breast augmentation with prostheses in Lausanne

The desire for breast augmentation with prostheses is widespread among women in Lausanne, and within the field of cosmetic surgery, it is the most popular surgical method. Breast augmentation with prostheses or implants can help women with small or sagging breasts to achieve the desired volume and a more aesthetically pleasing breast shape. It is also possible to balance breasts of different sizes by placing implants of different sizes. In some cases, breast augmentation can be performed in Lausanne to correct a malformation or significant asymmetry between the 2 breasts. We can help you realize this wish and achieve a new image of yourself and your body that reflects your femininity.

Before the procedure

During your initial consultation in Lausanne, we’ll make sure that breast augmentation with implants is the right indication for you. To this end, we clarify questions about your general state of health. To help you choose the right implant size and shape, several trial implant sizes are worn in a suitable bra, so you can decide which size and shape suits you best. A large mirror allows you to appreciate the future result. The size and type of breast implant are discussed, as well as the type of skin incision and implant position. A pre-operative ultrasound and/or mammogram is standard, and smoking cessation is strongly advised 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after breast augmentation in Lausanne.

During the procedure

During breast augmentation with prostheses in Lausanne, a 3 to 3.5 cm skin incision is made along the underside of the breast, the breast tissue is lifted, a pocket is formed and finally a breast implant is inserted. Breast implants can be placed under the pectoral muscle or under the mammary gland above the pectoral muscle. The choice of implant location depends on a number of factors: the size of your breasts prior to surgery, the shape of your breasts, the elasticity of your skin, the thickness of the fatty layer and the type of implant. The procedure lasts approximately 1 to 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.

After the procedure

You can go home the same day as your operation in Lausanne. Prophylactic antibiotics and painkillers must be taken for 7 days. These medications are included in the package. If the implant is placed under the chest muscle, pain may be more pronounced during the first two weeks. For a few weeks, sensation in the breast may be altered. Some patients return to work 3 to 4 days after the operation. There is no medical reason why this should not be done, as long as the work is office-based. The dressing is changed after one week. The patient must wear a Marena ® sports bra at all times for 8 weeks until the swelling subsides and the scars heal. Light physical activity can be resumed after just a few days. Sport can be resumed after 8 weeks. To make the scar as invisible as possible, scar treatment should be started after three weeks. Special scar-treatment ointments should be applied three times a day. Massage helps the cream to be absorbed. We also recommend wearing silicone bandages, ideally for three to six months. As long as the scar is red or pink, you should protect it from the sun. If you have any questions, you can always call us personally on our emergency number.

Risks and side effects

In principle, every operation carries certain risks – such as infection or haematoma. The risk of infection is reduced to less than 1% at Clinique Bellefontaine, thanks to our various preventive measures ( No touch technique, antibiotics, … ). Specific complications can occur during this operation, although they are quite rare: implant slippage, implant rotation, double bubble. Loss of sensation in the nipple is very rare. Breast implants have evolved and improved over time. Because of their high quality and safety, the latest-generation breast implants should only be replaced in the event of complications. In the case of textured implants, it has been discovered that a rare tumor called ALCL can occur. With smooth implants, there have been no described cases of ALCL.

Improved techniques
and latest-generation Motiva Ergonomix implants:

Numerous scientific publications and the latest generation of Motiva Ergonomix implants have significantly improved the procedure and results of breast augmentation. Surgical techniques have been refined for more natural breast augmentation, reduced convalescence and lower risks:

  • Latest-generation Motiva Ergonomix nanotextured breast implant to reduce shells
  • Cohesive silicone gel with natural feel
  • No drain required
  • Same-day release
  • Dual Plane technique: the implant is both behind the muscle at the top and behind the gland at the bottom.
  • Ultra-short scar from 3 to 3.5 cm
  • Reducing the risk of infection with Funnel keller

Breast implants in front of or behind the muscle: the dual plane technique?

It’s a question that always comes up during consultations, and is frequently asked by patients. Our aim is to simplify matters

Position in front of the muscle

For patients with thick subcutaneous tissue and a fold greater than 3 cm when the skin is pinched, the pre-muscular position is ideal. The implant is then perfectly concealed, and there is no need to position it behind the dual-plane muscle.

The position partly behind the muscle: dual plane

For patients with thick subcutaneous tissue and a fold greater than 3 cm when the skin is pinched, the pre-muscular position is ideal. The implant is then perfectly concealed, and there is no need to position it behind the dual-plane muscle.

General information

You decide: Breast augmentation with implants, fat or composite.breasts that are too small, slightly pendulous or asymmetrical can be corrected with implants. The latest prostheses have been developed and improved enormously in recent years. If the breast is corrected with implants, a small skin incision of 3 to 3.5 cm is usually made along the underside of the breast. To best meet your needs, we offer a wide range of prostheses that you can test before the operation. At Clinique Bellefontaine, you can have your breast augmented with a Motiva prosthesis, a round prosthesis or a teardrop-shaped “anatomical prosthesis” that adapts exactly to your breast – in other words, a made-to-measure breast augmentation. We generally recommend an augmentation of one to two cup sizes. This means that if you’re currently wearing a bra with an A cup, we can typically achieve a C cup by enlarging your breast. With more than 2 cup sizes, the subsequent risk of complications is higher. In addition to breast augmentation with implants, we also offer breast augmentation with injection of your own fat using the Beauli technique – breast lipofilling. For patients who do not wish to have implants in their body and would like to have a light to moderate augmentation, breast augmentation with autologous fat is the right method. In this procedure, we harvest your own fat cells by gentle “Body Jet” liposuction from one or more areas of the body and transplant them into the breast. In some cases, we can also offer composite breast augmentation, a technique that combines the two methods described above – implant and fat injection. Lipofilling involves injecting fat around the implant to conceal its contours and correct volume defects in the décolleté.
