Breast augmentation with EU-certified brands.

Motiva / Mentor / Allergan silicone implants or lipofilling with your own fat. A premium procedure with personal options - size, shape, incision site and implant type are chosen according to your anatomy and the result you want.

What It Is

Breast augmentation.

Breast augmentation increases breast size through silicone implants - the most common option, with EU-certified brands: Motiva (lifetime warranty), Mentor (Johnson & Johnson), Allergan (Natrelle) - or lipofilling (your own fat) - augmentation using fat removed from other areas, a more natural result but more limited in volume.

Incision site:

  • Inframammary (below the breast) - easier to control
  • Periareolar (around the nipple) - a hidden scar
  • Trans-axillary (armpit) - no scar on the breast

Implant placement:

  • Subglandular (above the muscle) - less pain
  • Submuscular (below the muscle) - more natural, more recommended
How It's Done

A step-by-step process.

01

Consultation & measurements

Precise measurement of the chest, assessment of existing breast tissue, discussion of implant options. Simulation with a sizer (trial implant).

02

General anaesthesia

A full-anaesthesia procedure, administered by the Spitali Amavita anaesthetist. Full monitoring throughout the procedure.

03

Placing the implant

The chosen incision (inframammary / periareolar / trans-axillary), creation of the pocket, placement of the implant, checking of position and symmetry. Duration: 1.5-2 hours.

04

Post-operative care

A compression garment is fitted immediately. A 1-night stay in the clinic for monitoring. Moderate pain, manageable with medication.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we are asked most often.

Which implant brands do you use?
Motiva (premium, with lifetime warranty), Mentor (Johnson & Johnson), Allergan (Natrelle). All EU-certified.
Do you offer lipofilling?
Yes. Augmentation with your own fat - more natural but limited in volume. Can be combined with liposuction in other areas.
Implant above or below the muscle?
Below the muscle (submuscular) is recommended for patients with little existing breast tissue - a more natural, less visible result. Above the muscle (subglandular) for patients with sufficient tissue.
Will I still be able to breastfeed in the future?
Yes, in most cases. Modern techniques preserve the function of the milk ducts and the nipple nerves.
Do the implants need to be replaced?
Modern implants have no set expiry date. Premium brands (Motiva) offer a lifetime warranty. Replacement is only needed if you have a problem (complication or aesthetic preference).
What size should I choose?
The consultation includes precise measurements and sizers (trial implants) to preview the result. Our recommendation: choose based on proportion to your body, not on a number.
