The placement of breast implants is a surgical procedure that aims to increase the size of the breasts. This technique is indicated for the treatment of breast hypoplasia, which results in insufficient breast development in women. This breast hypoplasia can be the result of moderate development of the breast at puberty, loss of breast volume following pregnancy, significant weight loss or even a hormonal disturbance.
In certain cases, the installation of breast prostheses can be supplemented by a cure of breast ptosis to perfect the result (mastopexy).The widely used breast augmentation procedure involves inserting implants to increase the volume of the breast.
The size, shape and texture of breast prostheses as well as their positioning, in front of or behind the pectoral muscles and the location of the skin incisions (scars) either by areolar, axillary or submammary route will be determined during the consultation.
Breast augmentation by breast prosthesis is performed in the operating room, under general anesthesia and in day hospitalization. This cosmetic surgery lasts an average of 2 hours.
