SEXY BUT NOT VULGAR: with our sense of aesthetics we guide our patients to achieve the most harmonious result.
The augmentation mammoplasty is one of the most performed plastic surgery procedures and one of the procedures that generated the most satisfaction in our patients.
HOW IS A MAMMOPLASTY PERFORMED?
Our favorite approach is in the lower part of the areola, because the scar is practically imperceptible and does not alter breastfeeding or sensitivity. The retromuscular plane (behind the pectoral muscle) is the ideal because the prosthesis is better covered and although the pain is a little greater, the long-term result justifies it.

WHAT IMPLANTS DO WE USE?
The implants that we use are cohesive silicone gel, from the Natrelle® de Allergan® and Mentor® de Jhonson and Jhonson® brands, which are the most prestigious on the market and those that give the best shape and texture.
These implants come in three projections:
– Low profile: for a result with a very natural enhancement
– Medium profile: For a neckline with a slightly full highlight
– Profile high: for a neckline with a very round and unnatural enhancement
We do not recommend very large sizes because these, in addition to presenting several problems, are aesthetically unpleasant. An attractive but not vulgar this is the result we are looking for, avoiding an artificial form.


HOW DO WE CHOOSE THE SIZE AND THE FORM?
Although we generally recommend small sizes and natural enhancements, who finally decides the size and shape of their breasts is the patient.
The augmentation mammoplasty is a technically simple procedure, however, the real difficulty is that the surgeon manages to interpret the size and shape that your patient has in mind.
There are multiple alternatives to establish this measure, but at the institute we use reference photos, which serves to always give our patients the result they are looking for.
Patients choose two photographs of a model without a bra, with the arms down and with this reference we approach this result in a very precise way, not only in the form but also in the size.

HOW DO WE GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF OUR PATIENTS?
Our expert hands are our greatest guarantee. Additionally, the safety of the procedures is guaranteed by performing all surgeries in our operating facilities with state-of-the-art equipment and following multiple and strict management protocols to avoid serious complications such as infections and thromboembolisms.


Our modern operating rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art anesthesia machines with an entropy system. This sophisticated technology, available in very few institutions, increases the safety of the procedure, allowing us to assess the level deepening of our patients’ sleep during anesthesia.

HOW MUCH DOES SURGERY AND RECOVERY TAKE?
The augmentation mammoplasty is a procedure that takes about an hour and is performed under general anesthesia.
Patients usually return to work after the third day of surgery, a week later they are able to drive a car and after a month they usually start the exercise progressively.
For patients traveling from other cities or from abroad, a stay in Bogotá of 7 days is recommended, enough time to travel back home because the points are reabsorbed by themselves. It is necessary to arrive two days before the procedure for an adequate preparation.
BREAST AUGMENTATION POSTQUIRURGICAL CARE:
• Do not wet the breasts
• Do not remove the bandages
• Cover the breasts with vinipel
• Sleeping semi-sitting position the first days
• Avoid very greasy or spicy food
