Breast Surgery

Does breast augmentation leave scars?
Breast augmentation leaves a very thin scar in the crease underneath the breast or around the outer edge of the areola. We recommend applying a scar reducing cream twice a day for two months after the procedure to minimize the appearance of scars.
What are the risks of breast surgery? Can complications occur?
There are no special risks associated with breast surgery. Just like with any procedure, complications are possible. Postoperative bleeding may occur in the hour following breast correction. Naturally, our qualified staff will immediately intervene to remedy the bleeding should that be the case. Complications may also occur in a later stage, e.g. capsule formation (rejection of a foreign body), or reduced/lost sensation in the nipples.
How long does the procedure for breast augmentation take ?
Breast augmentation surgery takes about 1 hour. A breast lift or breast reduction takes about 2.5 hours to complete.
