PROCEDURE
The doctor will make a previous evaluation of each case to ensure that the final result is appropriate to the wishes and needs of the patient. In this phase, the specialist will value the volume, the projection of the breast, the skin quality and the physical constitution, among other factors. Depending on the type of breast you want, we will advise round or drop prosthesis with more or less base and projection.
The doctor will then advise on the access area and the position of the prosthesis. The implants can be placed via the submammary, abdominal, transareolar, axillary or periareolar, which is usually the most common.
The prostheses are placed in three zones: under the gland, under the muscular fascia or under the pectoral muscle. The volume of the existing breast prior to the intervention will determine the location. Generally, they are usually placed under the muscle since the aesthetic and functional results are more satisfactory.
Finally, the incision is sutured and the drains are placed, which must be worn for 24 hours.
We advise you to show us a picture of the type of breast you desire to specify more accurately the type of implant and determine which anatomical structure is best.
