FAQ
How long does breast augmentation surgery take?
Estimated time for the procedure is 1 hour.
What is the rest period after breast augmentation surgery?
We recommend that you rest for 5 to 6 days. As with any operation, there are always patients who do better than others, but this is the minimum period of inactivity we recommend to ensure healing and settling of the prostheses.
If I become pregnant, will I be able to breastfeed if I have had breast augmentation?
Yes, no problem at all. When breast augmentation is performed, the prostheses are placed behind the mammary gland, so they do not interfere with breastfeeding.
What scars are left after breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation scars are minimal and fade over time, becoming almost imperceptible. We will also tell you how to treat them to minimise their impact.
