Breast augmentation in Zug

A personal consultation session is an essential prerequisite for any cosmetic procedure. It allows us to get to know each other better and build the fundamental doctor-patient trust that is so important to achieving healthy, pleasing results. At the beginning of the appointment, we will focus on your concerns, desires, and goals. Based on those, I will then explain your breast surgery options and what they can offer. Together, we will create your individual treatment plan.

I will also use this consultation to give you a detailed description of the procedure, the necessary pre- and post-operative care, and the potential risks. If you like, I can also show you some anonymized before-and-after photos to help you gain a realistic idea of what breast enlargement can achieve.

Breast implants are not the only way of enlarging breasts—cosmetic procedures using autologous (= the patient’s own) fat are also well-established. For more information on breast augmentation with fat grafting, click here!

On the day of your breast surgery, we will do another examination and review the upcoming procedure. Provided there are no contraindications, I will then draw an incision guide on your skin. Though they could theoretically be performed using local anesthesia, I always use general anesthesia on breast enlargement procedures; I work with an experienced anesthesiology team who will explain that aspect of the operation in advance.

Depending on your specific anatomy and desired results, I may insert the implant through an incision along your inframammary crease (the fold underneath your breast), near your armpit, or along your areola. One unique aspect of my approach to breast augmentation is that I use the “no-touch technique,” in which the implant is inserted using a Keller funnel to avoid direct skin contact. This greatly reduces the risk of infection, and it requires relatively small incisions, which in our experience results in quicker healing with less scarring.

The procedure will take between one and three hours from start to finish. Once the wounds have been closed, we apply a soft cotton bandage to protect the sensitive breast area. Small surgical drains may be necessary to help direct secretions away from the wounds; in most cases, they can be removed after a day or two.

B-Lite implants have the advantage of being up to 30 percent lighter than conventional breast implants, without sacrificing stability, durability, or safety. For patients who want the largest breasts possible, B-Lite implants make a better long-term choice than “normal” silicone implants. Sooner or later, the breasts will begin to sag under their own rate due to gravity and the natural aging process; less weight means less strain on the breast tissue. If you are interested in larger-volume breast implants, I would be happy to tell you more about these innovative models.

After surgery, patients will spend a few days at the clinic so that they can recover under supervision. Rest is very important in this initial period following the procedure—especially when it comes to avoiding stress or strain on the chest area. We recommend not raising your arms above shoulder height and wearing clothing that buttons or zips in front. I also advise my patients to sleep with their torsos elevated, ideally on their backs. Your bandages will be changed after a few days and eventually replaced with a special bra that protects and supports the area. This compression bra lowers the risk of post-operative complications while also helping give your chest a natural shape.

Once you get home, you should continue to take it easy and avoid physical exertion at first. Make sure to wear the special bra for six to eight weeks. You will be returning to my office for regular check-ups so that we can monitor your healing progress and document the results. I will also give you an implant ID containing the relevant information about your breast implants.
