Treatment process

 

How is the consultation hour?

As a first step, we ask you to explain to us what exactly is bothering you about your breast and what you would like to have corrected. Perhaps you also have an idea of a beautiful breast that you would want that could suit you. Of course, your personal medical history and your family predisposition to breast diseases will also be discussed.

After an initial examination of the breast, we will work with you to find the optimal solution to come as close as possible to your ideal image. The advantages and disadvantages of the various options for breast augmentation are discussed, as are, of course, the risks and complications.

You will also be informed in-depth about the technical details of the operational measures as well as the organizational details and formalities. As a rule, a second consultation takes place in order to discuss the planned treatment again and to answer any further questions.

On the evening before the operation, the anaesthetist will contact you by phone to discuss the anaesthesia process with you and answer any questions you may have.

​

What happens on the day of the operation?

Unless the anaesthetist instructs you differently, you should usually be sober by midnight. In the morning you will be welcomed by our team in the Center Clinic. The anaesthetist will have another informative conversation with you. You will also have another conversation with the surgeon to clarify any final questions and to plan the breast operation with drawings. Depending on the extent, the procedure takes 1–2 hours.

You will then be looked after in the wake-up station by our qualified nurse.

Breast operations can usually be carried out in day clinic conditions without any problems. If you wish, we can of course also offer you an overnight stay in the Center Clinic under the supervision of a qualified nurse.

All necessary aids and medication are of course made available to you.

​

Is Breast Augmentation Painful?

Depending on the technique required, slight to moderate pain may occur. But you will be provided with all the painkillers you need. In addition, a long-lasting local anaesthetic is always injected into the wound at the end of the procedure in order to suppress the first phase of pain.

​

What happens in the days after the surgery?

You will be provided with all the necessary aids and medication. So you don't have to worry about anything! As a rule, you should wear a special medical bra for 6 weeks after the breast augmentation. You will also receive the mobile numbers of the surgeon and the anaesthetist so that you can seek advice at any time if you are unsure.

In order to keep swelling and bleeding to a minimum, sensible physical rest for the first 2-3 days after breast surgery is absolutely necessary. You can and should be active again immediately - within a reasonable framework. Bed rest is not necessary.

Depending on the type of procedure, the shoulder area must be spared for several days to weeks.

Intense physical activity should be avoided for 4–8 weeks.

​

When will I be socially acceptable again after breast surgery?

Usually immediately. However, you must, of course, expect restricted movement in the shoulder area for several days to weeks.
