Breast Augmentation in Medellín

Breast augmentation involves increasing the volume and projection of the breasts to make them look more harmonious and to enhance the cleavage seamlessly.

The type and size of the implant will be determined during the evaluation consultation, as each patient has different expectations and needs. We look forward to seeing you at the consultation.

The recovery period after breast augmentation can vary, but patients generally can return to their daily activities within a week, though it is advisable to avoid intense efforts or lifting heavy objects for at least a month. Swelling, bruising, and sensitivity in the breasts are common in the first few weeks.

Like any surgery, breast augmentation carries certain risks and potential complications such as infection, changes in nipple sensitivity, pain, and complications with the implant such as rupture, displacement, or capsular contracture, where scar tissue forms around the implant causing hardness.

The choice of implant size and shape depends on several factors, including the patient's body proportions, aesthetic expectations, and professional advice from the surgeon. During consultations, test implants and visual simulations may be used to help the patient visualize potential results and make an informed decision.

Most women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation, although some factors such as implant placement and surgical technique may have an influence. Implants placed behind the pectoral muscle tend to have less impact on breastfeeding compared to those placed behind the breast tissue. However, it is important that you share your concerns about breastfeeding before the operation so that the technique that minimizes the risk to the mammary glands or milk ducts can be planned.

It is necessary to review the warranty terms with the manufacturer before surgery and discuss with your surgeon what procedures to follow in case of complications with the implants. In case of suspected rupture, especially with silicone implants, imaging tests such as MRI scans should be performed to confirm the status of the implant.
