Breast augmentation in Alicante

During the first consultation with Dr. Jorge García Juarranz, our specialist in surgery of breast augmentation in Alicante, communication takes on a fundamental role. Through an interview, the expectations of the surgery will be shared to achieve the result you desire. After a brief examination in which measurements will be taken of your chest and chest, and after being clear about the image you want to achieve with your breast augmentation, the Plastic Surgeon will recommend a range of implants, both in shape and size, that best suits your case. It is important to keep in mind that each body is unique, and the appropriate volume for one patient may be insufficient or excessive for another. We suggest you let yourself be guided.

Afterwards, it will go to the simulation phase. During this stage, through the use of testers, you will be able to visualize on your own body and with your own clothes the volume proposed by the plastic surgeon. This is the decisive moment in choosing your implant size, so we encourage you to enjoy the experience of making real, direct decisions about the appearance of your breast.

The choice of the type of implant is influenced by various factors, with your desired result being one of the most important. It is essential to establish open communication between the patient and her plastic surgeon to facilitate the selection of the breast implant that best suits her goals. A valuable tip is not to base your choice solely on volume. Patients often come with preconceived ideas based on the experiences of friends, seeking to replicate similar results with the same implants. However, each woman has a unique body that requires an individual and personalized approach.

Remember that security is an essential component in this selection process. Implants with excessive volumes that may pose long-term problems will not be recommended. Considering your preferences and measurements, our specialist in breast augmentation in Alicante, Dr. Jorge García Juarranz, will suggest a series of implants that will allow you to achieve your goals without compromising naturalness or safety.

At this stage, the choice of approach (location of the scar) and the position of the implant will also be discussed. The most commonly used scar is the one located in the submammary fold, as it offers an excellent balance between aesthetic results and safety. The other approach options, such as the areolar (under the areola) and the axillary (through an incision in the armpit), have their specific indications and are typically reserved for particular cases.

The position of the implant can also vary depending on the structures that surround it. Generally speaking, the greater the coverage of the implant, the better the results and the greater the safety. Therefore, the most frequently chosen option is the submuscular position in a dual plane, where the pectoral muscle covers and protects the implant. Although there are other planes, such as the subglandular or subfascial, they have specific indications. 

The first Cosmetic Surgery consultation has no cost. If you want to change the size, position or shape of your breast, we recommend make an appointment with our plastic surgeon in Alicante so you can discuss the best option for your particular case.

La breast augmentation operation It is an elective intervention.

surgeries of breast augmentation that we carry out in Belaneve are carried out in a tertiary hospital center, which offers all the safety guarantees currently available. In addition, we exclusively use implants of the highest quality, with the aim of providing durability and optimal results.

The technique of increase chest can vary widely among professionals. In the case of our specialist in Plastic Surgery in Alicante, Dr. Jorge García Juarranz, seeks to reconcile the desire for a speedy recovery of patients after the intervention with maximum safety. To achieve this, the technique is perfected to the maximum, with the aim of causing the least possible trauma to the tissues and, therefore, avoiding the need for drains in the breast. These drains, in addition to causing pain and leaving a scar on the side, represent a connection between the implant, which must be kept sterile, and the external environment, full of bacteria that could contaminate it. The placement technique is performed in a completely sterile environment, where only the surgeon's freshly changed sterile gloves come into contact with the implant. Preserving this sterility is essential to minimize the risk of infection and capsular contracture. With meticulous attention to detail and surgery, it is possible to eliminate the need for drains, thereby improving the experience, recovery, and safety of the procedure.

This same approach applies to using bandages to keep implants in position or prevent bleeding. Thanks to adequate anesthesia and careful hemostasis (cauterization), the need for these bandages is avoided. In this way, our patients wake up with a simple band-aid on their scar and their bra. Nothing else.

Both the surgery and the subsequent night of admission are carried out in a tertiary hospital, with all the human and technical resources available, such as an admission floor, advanced ICU and other additional services that may be necessary.

Breast implants do not expire. Not in five, not in ten, not in 20 years. Does this mean they last forever? Unfortunately, no. Breast implants, like all material that is implanted in a human body, begin to suffer wear from the moment they are placed. With the passage of time and use, sooner or later the implant will break and will have to be replaced with a new one.

The breast prostheses used today are significantly different from those of previous generations. In the past, if an implant ruptured, the low cohesiveness of the silicone caused the liquid to disperse in the body, creating potential complications if intervention was not done quickly. Fortunately, those days are behind us. Current implants are made of highly cohesive silicone, which, in case of breakage of the cover, not only remains within the implant envelope, but does so practically indefinitely. For this reason, you are unlikely to notice the breakup. However, it is essential to stay in contact with the plastic surgeon and perform an ultrasound from the age of ten to evaluate the condition of the prostheses.

There are two main categories of breast implants: round and anatomical. Based on your anatomy and desired results, our specialist in breast augmentation surgery in Alicante, Dr. Jorge García Juarranz, will recommend the most suitable option for you. It is important to remember that the type of implant does not determine the naturalness of the result, since this depends on various factors, such as the size, projection (forward volume) and position of the implant, among others.

Round implants provide more volume in the upper part of the breast and are useful in cases where the patient accumulates volume in the lower part of the breast. In addition to being used in simple augmentations, they are commonly used in breast lifts (mastopexies). In patients with little breast tissue and a thin build, they can give a more artificial result, especially with high volumes.

Anatomical teardrop-shaped implants imitating the natural anatomy of the breast, offer a smoother transition from the upper part of the chest. Marking the neckline less and providing a natural appearance from the beginning, they are ideal for thin or small-chested patients looking for a discreet result.

The postoperative period of breast augmentation It is generally quite bearable. You will usually wake up pain-free, although you will experience a feeling of pressure in your chest as the implant puts pressure on the tissues to accommodate. For the next two/five days, you may experience discomfort or mild pain associated with arm movements. However, it is crucial to maintain a normal activity level to prevent possible shoulder and back contractures. This period can be endured without difficulty with the support of painkillers, and a period of sick leave varying between three and seven days is recommended (varying depending on the profession). 

During the first two weeks, it is advisable not to drive. Although it is unlikely that any problems will occur with the implant, it is essential to be fully alert to avoid possible accidents by reacting abruptly. After any breast surgery, including breast enlargement, Lifting heavy objects and raising the arm above shoulder height should be avoided, as this can affect the position of the implant by contracting and stretching the pectoral muscle.

The most anticipated moment comes a few days after surgery, during the first check-up, where the result will finally be appreciated. However, it is common for it to be somewhat disappointing at this point. The chest will be swollen and appear "too raised." The skin will be tight, and the texture will be firmer compared to a natural breast. It is crucial to remember that the surgery itself is only the first step towards the definitive result. As the weeks go by, the breast tissue decreases, and after the first month, the skin on the underside of the breast begins to relax, allowing the implant to descend into position and become softer. The final result is seen approximately three months after the intervention, at which point it is no longer disappointing.
