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.

What It Is

What is mammoplasty (augmentation)?

Breast augmentation increases breast size through:

  • Silicone implants - the most common option. EU-certified brands: Motiva (lifetime warranty), Mentor (Johnson & Johnson), Allergan (Natrelle)
  • Lipofilling (your own fat) - augmentation using fat removed from other areas (abdomen, thighs). A more natural result, but limited in volume.

The incision site is chosen from 3 options: inframammary (below the breast), periareolar (around the nipple), trans-axillary (armpit). The implant placement: subglandular (above the muscle) or submuscular (below the muscle - more natural, more recommended).

How It Is Done

The steps of the procedure.

01

Consultation & measurements

Precise measurement of the chest, assessment of existing breast tissue, discussion of implant options. Simulation with sizers.

02

Full anaesthesia

The procedure uses general anaesthesia, administered by an Amavita anaesthetist. Full monitoring throughout the procedure.

03

Placing the implant

The chosen incision, 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, manageable pain.

Ideal Candidate

Who is the ideal candidate?

Good candidates

  • Women with fully developed breasts (age 18+)
  • Volume loss after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Breast asymmetry
  • Good general health
  • Realistic expectations about size (not a "duplication")
  • Able to allow 2-4 weeks of recovery

This procedure is not for

  • Current pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Active infections
  • Irregular mammogram (requires assessment)
  • Uncontrolled conditions
  • Unrealistic expectations

The final assessment takes place at the pre-operative consultation with the specialist.

Medical Transparency

Risks & contraindications.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding (haematoma or seroma)
  • Capsular contracture (formation of a capsule around the implant)
  • Changes in sensation (usually temporary)
  • Mild asymmetry (correctable if pronounced)
  • The need for implant replacement in the future
  • The standard risks of anaesthesia

Any risk specific to your case is discussed in detail during the pre-operative consultation. Informed consent is provided in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most frequent questions.

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 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.
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.
