Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure to increase the size and improve the shape of a woman's breasts, usually by using implants.
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. It is performed by inserting implants, which can allow for an increase of one or more bra cup sizes. During the initial consultation, it is very important to assess the patient's prior condition, the size, shape, and firmness of the skin, and the patient's overall health. The selection of the surgical technique is fundamental to achieving good results.
The patient must sincerely explain their expectations so that the surgeon can explain valid alternatives, as well as the risks and complications of each.
The good results are those that maximise the personalisation of all the variables we must consider for this type of procedure.
The type of prosthesis is another important decision that must be studied.
Intervention
A pre-operative assessment is required to determine whether the patient is suitable for this procedure; blood tests, an ECG and/or an ultrasound scan or mammogram are essential. The operation will be carried out under general anaesthesia and will require an overnight stay in hospital for post-operative monitoring, although on some occasions it can be carried out on an outpatient basis, allowing the patient to return home later that day.
It is extremely important to select carefully how we are going to place the prostheses; not all people are the same, not all patients are operated on the same way. To perform a breast augmentation, it is very important to measure, assess the shape of the breast, study the patient's anatomy, her age and skin type, and whether she has had children or not.
The prostheses can be placed in 3 different ways, in distinct anatomical planes, each of which is determined by the plastic surgeon.
according to the patient's physical characteristics.
– Retroglandularplacement behind the mammary gland.
– Subfascialbehind the layer that covers the muscle at its front.
– Retropectoralplacement behind the pectoral muscle.
We cannot say that one or the other placement is better; each has its advantages and disadvantages. Our surgeon will advise you, taking your morphology into account, as to which is the best recommendation in your case.

What is the minimal scar technique in breast augmentation in Girona?
This concept refers to a minimally invasive surgery, less than traditional surgery, only 2.5 cm to 3 cm.
To carry out this technique we need an experienced plastic surgeon and a prosthesis of the highest quality; these prostheses
they must be completely flexible and be able to return to their natural shape after being introduced into the breast.
To perform this technique, we need a special clamp that will insert the prosthesis through the scar.
The other significant advantage of this technique is that the surgeon has no contact with the prosthesis, as it is the sleeve that
introduces the prosthesis into the chest, thus avoiding the possibility of possible bacterial contamination, reducing the chance of
Capsular contracture.
MOTIVE, especially the model Ergonomic, is what makes this possible

Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Augmentation in Girona
What instructions should I take into account?
In any plastic surgery intervention, it is very important to take its indications into account:
- When breasts have not developed (aplasia).
- Breasts with little development in puberty (hypoplasia).
- Loss of volume after weight loss, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. In these cases, there may be a certain degree of ptosis (sagging) which can be corrected with breast augmentation.
- Breast asymmetry, breasts with different volumes that require correction through the placement of prostheses of different sizes.
- There is also an indication for intervention in patients who, despite having volume, wish to increase it even further.
In some cases, such as a ptosis (sagging breast) operation, augmentation is not the only procedure performed; it is complemented by a pexy (lift) to keep the areolas in their exact position.
Whatever the reasons, this procedure must be carried out by plastic surgeons knowledgeable about the process and after careful consideration of all aspects of the surgery.
What is the technique for inserting the prosthesis?
The surgeon has three possible routes of access to insert the prostheses:
- Periareolar route Peripheral incision at areola level.
- Inframammary or submammary route. Incision in the inframammary fold.
- Axillary route incision in the armpit, taking advantage of a natural fold.
What is the post-operative period like?
Once the procedure has been performed, the surgeon will apply a compression bandage, which will be removed the following day before you go home. This will be replaced by a sports bra, which you must wear day and night for the first month. In the first 24 to 48 hours, your breasts may feel tense and tender to the touch. Following a normal post-operative period, you will be able to return to your normal life after one week, and resume your sporting activities after one month.
Breast augmentation has an immediate result, but we recommend you not be impatient; in the first few weeks, the breast needs to adapt well to its new shape and size. Full flexibility of the breasts and stabilisation of the implants are not achieved until the third to sixth month. .
It is very important that you are aware of all contraindications and potential postoperative complications before making your decision. Our surgeon will explain these to you, and they will also be included in the informed consent form, which you will receive and sign before undergoing the procedure.
