Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement, is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures worldwide. To provide clear and accurate information, we have answered some of the most common questions patients often have about this procedure.

1. What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase the size and improve the shape of a person’s breasts. It is generally performed using breast implants or through fat transfer techniques.

2. Who are ideal candidates for breast augmentation?
Ideal candidates are those who wish to increase their breast size, have realistic expectations about the results, and are in good physical and mental health. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to determine if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure.

3. What types of breast implants are available?
There are several types of breast implants, including saline and silicone implants. Each type has its own advantages and considerations, and the choice depends on your personal needs and preferences. Additionally, there is the option of using your own fat through a procedure called Cellular Regeneration (Regeneración Lipocelular). Another innovative option is the GalaFLEX mesh, which is absorbed after approximately 14 months and reinforces your tissues.

4. How long is the recovery after breast augmentation?
Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients typically take about one week off work and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. It is essential to follow your surgeon’s postoperative instructions to ensure a safe and successful recovery.

5. What are the risks associated with breast augmentation?
As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries certain risks, such as infection, bleeding, changes in breast sensation, and complications related to implants. These risks can be minimized by choosing an experienced plastic surgeon and carefully following all pre- and postoperative instructions.
