Breast Asymmetry
Breast asymmetry
Balance and self-confidence
Breast asymmetry surgery
It is perfectly normal to have a slight difference between the two breasts: almost all women have some degree of natural asymmetry. However, when the difference in size, shape or position is more evident, it can lead to self-consciousness, difficulty in choosing clothes and discomfort when exposed.
Breast asymmetry surgery is aimed at balancing the appearance of both breasts to achieve aesthetic harmony and thus improve confidence and quality of life. At HC Aesthetic we understand that no two asymmetries are alike: each case requires personalised planning and, often, the combination of different techniques in each breast to ensure the best result.
Most common causes of breast asymmetry
Breast asymmetry can be caused by a wide variety of factors and can manifest itself at different times in life. Understanding the cause is essential in order to select the most appropriate surgical technique and achieve a balanced and natural-looking result. Among the most common reasons are:
Uneven development during adolescence
One breast develops faster or grows more than the other.
Changes after pregnancy or breastfeeding
One breast loses more volume or sags more than the other.
After-effects of previous breast surgery
Augmentation, reduction or mastopexy with uneven results.
Lesions due to breast disease
Whether benign or malignant
Surgical options to correct breast asymmetry
- Augmentation of one breast: with implant, lipofilling or both.
- Reduction of one breast: to make the larger breast equal to the smaller one.
- Bilateral asymmetric augmentation: implants of different size or projection to achieve balance.
- Unilateral or bilateral mastopexy: to equalise height and firmness.
- Areola repositioning: to align the nipple-areola complex.
Tailored planned breast asymmetry surgery
It is very important to make a thorough initial assessment and examination, as in many cases, the plan will include different procedures for each breast. This evaluation is mainly based on:
Complete medical history.
Measurements of volume, height, projection and position of areolas.
Evaluation of skin elasticity and thoracic symmetry.
Surgical plan tailored to the needs of each breast.
What to expect after breast asymmetry correction
After breast asymmetry surgery, it is normal to have questions. Addressing these doubts clearly allows the patient to understand the process and make decisions with complete peace of mind.
-
- Hospital stay: usually 24 hours.
- Discomfort: mild to moderate, well controlled with oral analgesia.
- Return to work: generally, within 1–2 weeks.
- Physical activity: avoid strenuous exercise and intense sport for 4-6 weeks.
The type and location depend on the technique used:
-
- Minimal and well hidden in simple augmentations.
- Periareolar, vertical or inverted T-shaped scars if mastopexy or reduction is required. In all cases scars are carefully managed from day one with protocols to optimise their evolution and make them as discreet as possible.
Although infrequent, they may include:
-
- Haematomas or seromas.
- Temporary alterations in sensitivity.
- Visible scarring.
- Partial persistence of asymmetry, especially if the initial difference was very noticeable.
-
- Balance in size, shape and height between both breasts.
- Improved body harmony.
- Greater comfort with clothes and increased confidence in one's appearance.
- Final results are visible after 3-6 months, when the scars have softened and the tissue has settled.
- Long-lasting results, provided a stable weight is maintained and there are no major changes such as pregnancy.

Frequently asked questions about breast asymmetry
We answer the most common questions we are asked in consultation, to help you resolve your doubts.
Is perfect symmetry always achieved?
The aim is to bring both breasts as close as possible in size, shape and position. In some cases, the natural tissue may limit absolute symmetry, but the residual difference is usually minimal and barely noticeable.
Can I also improve the shape at the same time?
Yes. Asymmetry surgery is an opportunity not only to equalise volume, but also to improve the shape, firmness and projection of both breasts.

Implant Replacement and Secondary Breast Surgery
Implant Replacement and Secondary Breast Surgery
Peace of mind and confidence
Breast implant replacement
Over time, patients with breast implants may need or decide to undergo a new surgery. The reasons may be purely aesthetic (change the size, shape or type of implant) or due to complications such as capsular contracture, rupture or displacement of the implant.
At HC Aesthetic we cover everything from the simplest replacements to complex secondary surgeries, involving the correction of multiple problems: poorly positioned implants, noticeable asymmetries, excess skin, visible scars, alterations of the gland or deformities after previous surgeries.
Our goal is always the same: to restore the shape, symmetry and harmony of the breast using safe and personalised techniques adapted to each case.
When should breast implants be replaced?
At HC Aesthetic, breast implant replacement is always planned in a personalised way, adapting the technique to the anatomy, goals and lifestyle of each patient. In the first consultation (free of charge) we review your medical history and perform a complete assessment, which includes:
Rupture or wear of the implants.
Capsular contracture (hardening and deformity due to fibrosis)
Displacement or malposition (very high, low or laterally positioned implants)
Asymmetry, or a change in implant size, shape or type by personal choice.
Correction of aesthetic sequelae from previous mastopexy, reduction or augmentation procedures.
Need to improve the appearance of previous scars.
Scarring in breast implant replacement surgery
In most cases we use the existing scars so as not to generate new ones. In more complex surgeries, it may be necessary to enlarge or modify them to obtain adequate access and improve the aesthetic outcome. In many cases, this can even improve the appearance of the previous scar.
Breast implant replacement surgery tailored to you
Each case requires an individualised assessment, as the patient’s needs, tissue condition and goals may differ significantly. Therefore, the initial examination is essential to determine the most appropriate approach and to define precisely the type of intervention that will provide the best possible result.
The initial assessment includes:
-
- A detailed clinical and surgical history.
- Thorough physical examination to assess tissue coverage, symmetry and the condition of the existing scars.
- Imaging tests (ultrasound or MRI) if there is suspicion of capsular rupture or contracture.
- Establishing the goal: are we aiming for an aesthetic change, to correct a problem, or both?
Planning according to complexity:
-
- A simple replacement, with well-positioned implants and healthy tissues, is quick and with recovery similar to a primary augmentation.
- A more complex secondary surgery may require reconstructing the implant pocket, fat grafting, mastopexy, or even several procedures in a single operation.
What to expect after breast implant replacement
-
- Hospital stay: usually 24 hours.
- Drains: may be necessary in complex replacements, which are removed in the first days after surgery in the office.
- Discomfort: mild in simple replacements; slightly greater if extensive surgery is performed.
- Return to work: 1-2 weeks for simple replacements; longer for complex surgery.
- Physical activity: avoid strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks.
In most cases, these complications are resolved with medical treatment or minor surgical refinements.
-
- Haematomas o seromas.
- Temporary alterations in sensation.
- Visible or widened scars.
- Partial persistence of asymmetries.
- Recurrence of capsular contracture.
-
- Aesthetic and functional improvement of the breast.
- Greater symmetry and harmony in the body contour.
- Feeling of renewed security and confidence.
- Final results are visible after 3-6 months, when the scars have softened and the tissue has settled.

Frequently asked questions about breast implant replacements
We understand that undergoing a second operation generates specific doubts. In this section we answer the most common questions about techniques, recovery and safety in breast implant replacement.
Unlike the implants used in previous decades, there is no fixed ‘expiry date’ for today’s cohesive gel implants. They are designed for extremely high durability and resistance. However, at HC Aesthetic we recommend regular check-ups by ultrasound or MRI to ensure their integrity.
Replacement is only considered in three scenarios: if there is a complication (such as rupture or capsular contracture), if the patient wishes to change the volume or if the breast tissue has aged and requires an aesthetic adjustment.
In simple replacement procedures (same location and size), the procedure is similar to the initial surgery.
However, complex secondary surgeries (where the position of the implant needs to be corrected, capsular contracture treated or an associated mastopexy performed) require more planning and technical expertise. In these cases, the surgery may take slightly longer and recovery is usually somewhat slower, always under strict medical supervision at our hospital.
Yes, implant replacement is the ideal time to update the appearance of your breasts according to your current preferences.
Many patients use this procedure to switch from round to anatomical implants (or vice versa), or to adjust the volume to fit their current lifestyle. During the initial assessment, we perform a proportion study to ensure that the new design harmonises perfectly with your overall silhouette.

Breast reduction
Breast reduction
Well-being, lightness and comfort
Breast reduction surgery
Breast reduction is a procedure that not only transforms the aesthetics of the breast, but also significantly improves quality of life. Excessively large breasts (macromastia) can cause back, neck and shoulder pain, skin irritations, difficulty in doing exercise and low self-esteem.
The aim of this procedure is to reduce breast volume and weight, improve their shape and proportion, and reposition the nipple-areola complex to achieve a more harmonious and lighter breast.
Breast reduction is indicated in patients whose breast hypertrophy causes functional discomfort, postural alterations or significant aesthetic changes. Among the most common situations are:
-
- Cervical, dorsal or lumbar pain associated with breast weight.
- Skin irritation or infections under the breast (intertrigo).
- Shoulder grooves caused by bra use.
- Limitation to perform physical activity.
- Postural problems.
- Desire to improve the aesthetics of large, sagging breasts.
Breast reduction surgery tailored to you
At HC Aesthetic we adapt the technique to each patient, seeking the perfect balance between aesthetics, functionality and physical well-being. In the first consultation (free of charge) we dedicate the necessary time to understand your case in depth, in order to achieve satisfactory results.
Breast volume and degree of sagging
Key factors in determining the surgical approach.
Skin quality and breast symmetry
Influence the final outcome and the choice of scar pattern.
Preservation of breastfeeding
May be more limited in extensive reductions.
Size expectations
Essential to avoid unnatural results.
Scarring in breast reduction surgery
Scars are necessary and strategic. The surgery involves not only removing tissue, but also reshaping the breast and tightening the skin to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting result.
-
- Inverted T-scar: the most common, combining a scar around the areola, a vertical line towards the intermammary cleft and another in the inframammary fold.
- Vertical: for moderate reductions, without the full horizontal line.
-
- Allow precise and safe removal of excess skin.
- Help to better define the shape and projection of the breast.
- Facilitate stable repositioning of the nipple-areola complex.
Over months, most scars become fine and minimally visible, while the relief of physical discomfort and aesthetic improvement remain in the long-term.
-
- Meticulous surgical closure.
- · Silicone dressings or gels.
- Massage and specific creams once the skin allows.
- Strict sun protection during the first year.
What to expect after breast reduction
After breast reduction surgery, the recovery process, the possible risks and the evolution of the results are a natural part of the treatment.
-
- Hospital stay: 24-48 hours.
- Drains: usually not required.
- Discomfort: controlled with painkillers.
- Return to work: 2–3 weeks, depending on the type of activity.
- Exercise: avoid strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks.
- Postoperative bra: continuous use during the first month.
Most are mild and resolve with medical treatment or minor corrections. Although rare, the following may occur:
-
- Haematomas o seromas.
- Temporary or permanent alterations in sensation.
- Scars that are more visible than usual.
- Minor asymmetries in shape or size.
- Difficulty or inability to breastfeed.
- Partial necrosis of the areola or nipple (rare, more likely in very large reductions or in smokers).
-
- Immediate relief of physical discomfort related to breast weight.
- Improved posture and mobility.
- Lighter, firmer and more proportionate breasts.
- Final results are visible after 3-6 months, when the scars have softened and the tissue has settled.
- Aesthetic, functional and long-lasting results, as long as a stable weight is maintained.

Frequently asked questions about breast reduction
We understand that breast reduction is a decision that can change your quality of life. Here we answer the most frequently asked questions about the procedure so that you can take this step with complete certainty and confidence.
Yes, during the initial consultation we study your wishes and body proportions. You can choose a volume that you feel comfortable with, as long as it is technically feasible and compatible with safe vascularisation of the tissue.
Our goal is to achieve a breast that is not only smaller, but also maintains a natural, firm shape that is in balance with your overall silhouette.
It is common to experience changes in nipple sensation (increased or decreased) during the first few months due to tissue manipulation. In most cases, sensation returns progressively. However, in very extensive breast reductions or cases of gigantomastia, there is a risk of permanent loss of sensation. During the pre-operative assessment, the surgeon will explain the most appropriate technique to minimise this risk.
As with any surgery that requires the removal of excess skin and tissue, scars are necessary. Initially they are pinkish in colour, but over time and with proper care (such as the use of silicone sheeting and sun protection), they tend to fade until they become much less noticeable.
It is important to remember that these incisions are what make it possible to achieve a firm, symmetrical and lifted breast, eliminating weight and physical discomfort; a result that amply compensates for the presence of the scar.

Mastopexy
Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Restore the position and shape of your breasts
Breast lift surgery
Mastopexy is surgery to lift, reshape and restore firmness to sagging breasts (breast ptosis). Over the years, pregnancy, breastfeeding or significant changes in weight, the skin loses elasticity and the breast tissue descends, causing the breast to look hollow at the top and heavier or sagging at the bottom.
The goal of a mastopexy is not only to reposition the breast to a more youthful position, but also to redefine its shape, improve symmetry and, if necessary, restore volume and projection by placing implants.
Unlike other surgeries, mastopexy always involves working on the skin and gland together, which requires strategically planned scars to achieve a stable and long-lasting result. Rather than a “drawback”, these scars are the tool that allows us to achieve the change you are looking for.
When is a breast lift indicated?
No two bodies are the same and there is no single surgical approach that suits all patients. For this reason, planning begins with an initial free consultation, in which the plastic surgeon carries out an exhaustive medical assessment to define the most appropriate technique, ensuring natural results and preserving safety at every stage of the procedure.
Nipple descent below the inframammary fold.
Marked skin flaccidity.
Loss of firmness and projection of the upper pole.
Breast asymmetry associated with ptosis.
Change following pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss.
Personalised mastopexy
- Degree of ptosis: we assess whether the breast droop is mild, moderate or severe, a key aspect in determining the surgical technique and the type of scar required.
- Breast volume: we assess whether the existing volume is sufficient or whether mastopexy should be combined with an implant to improve the shape and projection.
- Skin quality: we evaluate the elasticity, skin thickness and the presence of stretch marks, all factors that influence the result and its stability.
- Symmetry: we identify possible differences between the two breasts in order to correct them and achieve a harmonious and natural result.
Scars in mastopexy
In mastopexy, scars are not a side effect: they are the key to achieving a good result. Without scars it is not possible to effectively tighten the skin or reposition the breast tissue and nipple in a stable position.
In reality, even if they are visible at first, well-managed scars fade in comparison to the aesthetic and functional benefit of having a lifted, firm and proportionate breast.
-
- Periareolar: around the areola, for mild ptosis.
- Vertical: around the areola and a vertical line towards the crease, for moderate ptosis.
- Inverted-T: adds a line in the inframammary fold, for severe sagging or marked excess skin.
-
- They are the surgical tool that allows us to reconstruct a breast with improved shape, symmetry and firmness.
- They remove excess skin, preventing the breast from drooping again quickly.
- Over time, most of them fade to the point of being barely noticeable.
-
- Multi-layer closure to reduce tension.
- Silicone dressings and gels from weeks 2-3 onwards.
- Gentle massage and specific creams once the skin has healed sufficiently.
- Strict photoprotection during the first year.
What to expect after mastopexy surgery
Everything you need to know about your recovery, how your results progress over time and possible considerations.
-
- Hospital stay: 24 hours
- Usually, no drains are required.
- Discomfort: well-managed with oral medication.
- Return to work: return to work in 1-2 weeks depending on the nature of the job.
- Physical activity: avoid strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks.
- Postoperative bra: continuous use during the first month.
While they are rare and most are mild and resolve with medical treatment or minor corrections, the following may occur:
-
- Haematomas or seromas.
- Temporary alterations in sensitivity, especially in the areola and nipple.
- More visible scars than usual (hypertrophic or keloid scars in predisposed patients).
- Minor asymmetries in shape or height.
- Partial necrosis of the areola or nipple (very rare, more frequent in severely sagging breasts or patients who smoke)..
-
- Immediate improvement in the position, shape and firmness of the breast.
- More balanced body contour.
- Final results are visible after 3-6 months, when the scars have softened and the tissue has settled.

Frequently asked questions about mastopexy
We answer the most common questions we are asked in consultation to help you clear all your doubts.
In aesthetic medicine, the removal of excess skin necessarily requires an incision. In cases of very mild sagging (pseudoptosis), minimal incision techniques can be used, but for moderate or severe corrections, scars are essential to achieve a long-lasting and harmonious result.
At HC Aesthetic, we place the scars strategically (periareolar, vertical or inverted-T) and apply advanced healing protocols so that, over time, they are practically imperceptible.
In most surgeries, the connection of the lactiferous ducts to the nipple remains intact, allowing breastfeeding.
However, it is important to note that in surgeries that require extensive reshaping or major tissue resections, the capacity for milk production may be reduced. If you are planning a pregnancy in the short term, our team will advise you on the technique that best preserves glandular function.
The results of mastopexy are long lasting. The breast regains a youthful, firm position that lasts for many years. To prolong this result, it is essential to maintain a stable weight, keep the skin well hydrated and wear an adequate support (bra).
Although the biological ageing process and the effects of gravity continue, operated breasts will always have a much more aesthetic shape and position than if the surgery had not been performed.

Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation in Marbella
More than just a matter of size
Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation, also known medically as augmentation mammoplasty, is one of the most performed procedures in plastic surgery worldwide and ranks among the operations that provide the highest patient satisfaction. At HC Aesthetic we always approach it considering the particular case of each patient, understanding that each woman has a different motivation: some wish to improve their body proportion, others wish to recover the volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and others wish to correct an obvious asymmetry.
Beyond volume, our priority is to achieve a natural-looking breast in harmony with the rest of the body, always maintaining maximum safety and a stable long-term result.
Breast augmentation is indicated in various cases in which the volume, shape or symmetry of the breasts have never developed or have changed over time.
Your first breast augmentation consultation
In the first visit (free of charge) we dedicate the necessary time to understand your case in depth; evaluating not only the anatomy, but also your expectations, your lifestyle and what you want to achieve. Our medical team is formed by some of the best plastic surgeons in Marbella, specialising in minimal incision techniques.
Medical history and expectations
Understanding your state of health, your habits and what you want to achieve.
Physical examination
Accurate measurements, analysis of chest shape, skin quality and tissue coverage.
Choosing the ideal implant
In the vast majority of cases, we use ergonomic implants because of their aesthetic advantages and biocompatibility.
Ergonomic breast implants
Our ergonomic implants combine the advantages of round and anatomical implants thanks to their cohesive gel.
Result in standing position
They achieve a natural slope and an anatomical silhouette, while maintaining a harmonious and proportionate appearance.
Lying down result
They provide roundness and fullness in the upper pole, creating a more defined and attractive cleavage.
High biocompatibility
They reduce the risk of capsular contracture and guarantee a feel very similar to that of natural breast tissue.
Placement of the breast implant
The selection of the plane is key to the final result and is decided according to the characteristics of each patient:
-
- Pre-pectoral plane: recommended when there is sufficient tissue and fat to cover the implant. It avoids muscle manipulation, facilitates faster recovery and reduces postoperative pain.
- Dual plane: indicated for patients with little coverage in the upper pole or who seek a more noticeable augmentation, with larger volume implants. It combines partial placement under the pectoral muscle and subglandular placement in the lower part, which provides a more natural appearance and reduces the risk of implant visibility (rippling).
Postoperative care and recovery for breast augmentation
-
- Hospitalisation: hospitalisation is usually not required, although some patients prefer to spend the first night in hospital.
- No drains.
- Discomfort: managed with standard oral painkillers. A feeling of tightness is normal for the first few days.
- Return to work: return to work in 3 to 14 days, depending on activity.
- Physical activity: avoid strenuous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks.
- Postoperative bra: continuous wear during the first month.
- Regular check-ups to ensure adequate evolution.
-
- Results are visible immediately, although the definitive shape is visible after 3 to 6 months.
- The implant gradually ‘settles’ and the oedema disappears.
- High durability, although revisions or replacement may be required over the years.
Although rare, it is important to know that the following may occur after the operation:
-
- Haematomas and seromas.
- Temporary alterations in sensitivity.
- Capsular contracture.
- Asymmetry or displacement of the implant.
- Need for additional surgery in the long term.
Other types of breast augmentation surgery
In addition to augmentation mammoplasty with implants, there are other options that may be suitable depending on the characteristics and goals of each patient.
Breast augmentation with your own fat is a technique in which fat is extracted from areas where there is an excess (abdomen, flanks, thighs, saddlebags, etc.) by means of gentle liposuction. This fat is then processed and injected into the breast in order to increase its volume and improve its shape.
It is an ideal option for patients who:
-
- Want a moderate augmentation (usually up to one cup size).
- Prefer to avoid the use of implants.
- Wish to correct small asymmetries or the after-effects of previous surgeries.
- Seek to improve the appearance of their cleavage or add fullness to specific areas of the breast.
In addition, when fat is extracted for lipofilling, areas that are usually the reason for aesthetic consultations (abdomen, waist, hips, thighs) are simultaneously sculpted. This achieves a double benefit: body contouring and natural breast augmentation.
As for recovery, it is usually quick and well tolerated. It is common to experience mild discomfort both in the donor areas and in the breasts, compatible with returning to work within a few days. The use of a compression garment in the liposuctioned areas is recommended for 3 to 4 weeks to optimise the result and favour the evolution of the tissue.
Advantages
- Natural result in both look and feel.
- No risk of capsular rupture or contracture.
- Improvement of the body contour thanks to the associated liposuction.
- Possibility of repeating the procedure.
Limitations
- Limited augmentation: not suitable for patients seeking large volume.
- A portion of the fat grafted (20-40%) is reabsorbed in the first few months.
- It requires the patient to have an adequate amount of fat for harvesting.
Advantages
- Additional coverage over the implant, making it less visible or palpable.
- Smoother and more natural cleavage.
- Body contouring thanks to the associated liposuction.
Limitations
- Longer and somewhat more complex surgery than implant-only augmentation.
- Partial reabsorption of the injected fat.
Hybrid breast augmentation (Implants + Fat)
Hybrid augmentation combines the placement of implants with autologous fat grafts. This technique makes it possible to benefit from the best of both approaches:
-
- The implant provides volume, projection and durability.
- The fat softens edges, improves the integration with the chest and provides a more natural feel.
This type of surgery is recommended in the following cases:
-
- Very thin patients with insufficient breast tissue coverage.
- Cases in which a fuller and more natural décolletage is sought.
- Correction of irregularities or asymmetries after previous surgeries.
- Augmentations with large implants where an artificial appearance is to be avoided.
Recovery is very similar to that of augmentation with implants, although there may be some swelling in the fat donor areas. During this period, it is recommended to wear a post-operative bra and a compression garment in the liposuctioned areas.

Frequently asked questions about breast augmentation surgery
We know that the decision to undergo a breast augmentation surgery is very personal and that doubts may arise about the type of implants, the technique or the postoperative period. We have compiled the most frequently asked questions to help you understand how we design a result that is tailored to you, always prioritising your safety and a natural appearance:
Modern implants are designed to be highly durable, featuring high-resistance materials and cohesive gel. There is no fixed ‘expiry date’, but it is advisable to have a clinical and imaging check-up from time to time to detect any changes early.
Replacement is only considered if there are complications (rupture, capsular contracture, displacement) or if the patient wishes to modify the volume or shape of the implant.
In breast augmentation surgery, we aim for the scars to be as inconspicuous as possible. The most common locations are:
-
- Inframammary fold: hidden in the natural crease beneath the breast.
- Periareolar: disguised in the colour transition between the skin and the areola.
- Axillary: hidden in the natural line of the armpit (less frequent).
Initially, the scar has a pinker or slightly swollen appearance, but over the months it lightens and blends in with the surrounding skin tone. The maturing process usually takes between 6 and 12 months.
In addition, we provide dedicated scar care from the very beginning:
-
- Meticulous surgical closure to reduce tension on the skin.
- Silicone dressings and specific creams to optimise the healing process.
- Recommendations on strict photoprotection during the first year.
In the vast majority of patients, the scars become practically imperceptible and do not represent a significant aesthetic limitation.
En la gran mayoría de los casos, sí es posible dar el pecho. La técnica de aumento mamario preserva la glándula y los conductos galactóforos, por lo que la producción de leche no se ve alterada.
Sin embargo, si la cirugía se combina con otras técnicas como mastopexia o reducción, la capacidad de lactancia puede verse más comprometida y debe evaluarse individualmente.

Through precise and personalised techniques, we can lift, reduce or reshape the breasts to achieve a natural, balanced result in accordance with the figure, promoting not only a physical change, but also an experience of well-being and personal confidence.
Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation using implants, lipofilling (fat grafting) or a combination of both techniques.
Mastopexy
Breast lift with or without implants to correct sagging and restore firmness and projection to the breasts.
Breast reduction
Reduction of the volume of the breasts, to alleviate physical discomfort and improve body proportion.
Implant replacement
Indicated in cases of capsular contracture, rupture, displacement or change of volume.
Breast asymmetry
Individualised approach to balance the appearance of both breasts, achieving aesthetic harmony and greater confidence.
Breast reconstruction
Restore the volume and shape of the breast, always in coordination with your oncology team.
Breast Surgery recovery
Personalised medical supervision at each stage, until full recovery is achieved.
Hospital stay
The procedure usually requires hospitalisation for the first 24 hours, which allows for a controlled and safe initial recovery.
Pain and discomfort
The postoperative period usually causes a feeling of pressure, tightness or moderate discomfort, but this is well controlled with analgesics.
Return to work
Return to work depends on the type of activity. In most cases, it is possible to resume light duties after 1 to 2 weeks.
Physical exercise
The return to sport should be gradual and guided. From the 4th to 6th week, low-impact exercise can be started.
Ergonomic implants: our distinguishing feature
In most of our breast augmentation or implant replacement procedures, we use the latest-generation ergonomic implants, which are designed to adapt dynamically to posture and movement.
Their cohesive, highly elastic silicone gel redistributes with gravity.
-
- In an upright position, the gel moves slightly towards the bottom, mimicking the behaviour of an anatomical implant.
- When lying down, the gel spreads more homogeneously, as a round implant would.
This offers the best of both types of implants: the naturalness and gentle slope of the anatomical implant, with the fullness and projection of the round one.
More natural results
The results provided by this type of ergonomic implant are more natural both at rest and in movement.
Less risk of visible folds
Thanks to the quality of the gel, there is less risk of palpability and visible rippling on the breasts.
Biocompatibility and safety
Manufactured with high tolerance materials, which reduces the risk of tissue reaction and complications such as capsular contracture.
Dynamic adaptation to movement
Ergonomic implants adjust naturally to the body, even with changes in posture.
