Breast enhancement with safe breast implants

After six weeks, you can resume full exercise activity. Sometimes you have to take it a bit gradually because of residual discomfort, but it is not dangerous to exercise.

Getting an implant does not affect the ability to breastfeed and there is no scientific evidence that different implants are different. If a reduction surgery or a lift is performed at the same time, it can negatively affect breastfeeding ability. After breast reduction surgery, the ability to breastfeed is only 30 per cent due to the removal of a lot of mammary gland tissue.

The breasts change a lot after a breast lift and the insertion of implants. Typically, the breasts are swollen for the first month and sit high up. The breast then drops. It will not increase in size, so if you think it is too small, you should have chosen a larger implant. At the same time, you should be happy that you have such nice breasts without sagging, so the size may not matter so much. The most important thing is the shape, then the size, then the appearance of the scar. Allow at least a year to pass before undergoing surgery. Life is not just about breasts and you often change over time what is important in life.

After breast augmentation surgery, it often takes 4-6 weeks before you can lie on your side or on your stomach. You can get help with sleeping pills for the first time after the operation. The breasts are initially sore after surgery, so it is automatic that you will not be sleeping on your stomach. This should not prevent you from having breast enlargement surgery with all the self-esteem benefits it brings.

You probably don't have much of your own mammary gland tissue on the sides. There is no need to worry. You can strength train as much as you want. The implants or tissue will not break.

This is a very complicated issue, because it is so multifaceted. If the operation is done in conjunction with cancer surgery, the surgeon can sometimes save the nipple, giving a more natural result. If you have already had surgery to remove the breast, a new breast must be created, often using an expander prosthesis, which is like a balloon that is gradually filled with fluid, a saline solution. It then has to be replaced by a permanent implant and often the healthy breast has to be operated on for symmetry, often with some form of lift or breast reduction. There are thus several operations to be performed and the breast can never be completely natural. Very few people dare to show themselves naked in public bathing establishments, for example. At the same time, not having a breast can be an even greater trauma. The breasts will thus look quite natural, but not perfect.

There is no limit. You can get pregnant right away. After 3 months, the breasts have more or less taken their final shape. After pregnancy, you should wait until you stop breastfeeding.

Breast implants last differently depending on the type of implant you have. Saline implants usually need to be replaced after 5-15 years due to leakage of fluid, saline, or breakage. Cohesive gel implants are not likely to need replacement. There is 20 years of experience with them and they are not affected by time. However, nobody knows what it will be like in 40 years. In practical terms, if the breasts feel good, the implants are probably intact and do not need to be replaced. If there are problems such as a hard breast, the situation is different and the condition must be discussed with the responsible clinic and doctor.

If you are healthy, this does not affect the operation. You do not need to undergo any tests beforehand. In other contexts, such as long-term operations, the risk of blood clots increases slightly if you are on the pill.

Not just anyone can get tested. It requires a doctor to suspect that you may have a gene that can cause breast cancer. If your mother was under 40 when she got breast cancer, you will be tested, or if two relatives, such as your aunt and mother, got it before they were 50, or if three close relatives, such as your mother, grandmother and an aunt, got breast cancer regardless of their age.

In specialised hereditary clinics, the tests are then carried out by specially trained doctors. If it is then recommended that the breasts be removed, the patient is offered breast reconstruction, often with an implant, followed by the retention of the nipple for the best possible cosmetic result. The cost is reimbursed by the county council.

You don't have to worry about your breasts looking too busty. There are anatomical or teardrop-shaped implants, as they are also called, which make the breasts look natural. Round implants give a more busty look with more filling upwards. There are sizes ranging from 100 cc to 500 cc so there is always a suitable size. The easiest way is to think in terms of cup sizes If you have, for example, 75 A and want 75 C, about 300 cc may be a good size. This must be tested individually in connection with the doctor's consultation visit. If you want to do a breast enlargement, do it. Do not hesitate. With the right implant type and size, you will be very happy.

In principle, you first receive an expander prosthesis, which is like a balloon that is gradually filled with saline to the desired volume. The implant is then replaced with a silicone implant. In exceptional cases, a reconstruction with autologous tissue, usually from the abdomen, can be offered. Whether you are a suitable patient for this should be discussed with the plastic surgeon. This requires microsurgical techniques and not all plastic surgery clinics have them. Reconstruction using your own fat may also be an option.

In 95 %, the implants are placed partially behind the large pectoral muscle, which means that in the upper part of the breast the implant is covered by the muscle but in the lower part by the mammary gland so that the implant fills out properly downwards and does not end up too high. The reason is that you get a nice cleavage without seeing the edge of the implants. Furthermore, the risk of rotation of the implants is reduced because the external tissue pressure is greater. The only disadvantage is that the implants are slightly compressed and the breasts are therefore flatter than if the implants are placed in front of the muscle.

If you have a small sag, i.e. up to 2 cm, placing the implants in front of the muscle can avoid a lift with a so-called anchor scar, by making the breast rounder and lifting the nipple a couple of cm. Even those who compete in body building may need to have the implants in front of the muscle so that it does not change position when tightening the pectoral muscle. These aspects are discussed during the consultation and the decision is always made in consultation with a well-informed patient.

Yes, we recommend taping the surgical incisions after surgery up to half a year after your breast augmentation. Taping the scars contributes to a much better healing process.

The level of pain after a breast augmentation is individual. During breast augmentation surgery, our patients always receive preventive painkillers during the first week after surgery, which means that it is usually not particularly painful.

Scarring after breast augmentation is individual and depends on the surgical technique and your own healing ability.

There are different ways of making the surgical incision for breast augmentation. The most common is in the crease under the breasts, but can also be a crescent in the lower part of the chest or in the armpit. The incisions/scars are usually minimally visible, if at all.

Absolutely you can do a natural breast augmentation. At Conturkliniken® we work according to our own carefully developed methodology. Conturmetoden. This means that we always start from the patient's natural conditions, and from these decide what leads to a natural result. Together we decide on a breast implant that gives both the optimal shape and size of the breasts.

The breasts may be swollen for a few months after breast surgery, sometimes longer. However, the swelling decreases gradually and is at its most swollen during the first two weeks.

In the early days after breast surgery, it is common for the breasts to feel sore and sensitive. It is important to take care of your scars and make sure you move around in a way that feels good and doesn't hurt. For example, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to feel comfortable lying on your side or on your stomach while sleeping.

Heavy lifting should be avoided for the first few weeks after breast surgery, but it is usually possible to return to lighter physical labour after 1-2 weeks. However, the skin heals relatively quickly after breast surgery. After a maximum of 6 weeks, the skin has usually had time to adapt to the new volume, and then it is perfectly okay to start exercising again in the same way as before the breast surgery.
