Breast augmentation methods – implants vs. fat transfer
1. Breast implants – diverse possibilities
Breast implants are the most common method for breast augmentation. Modern implants offer various options for optimal treatment:
Implant types:
- Round breast implants: even filling, natural look
- Anatomical breast implants: Drop shape for particularly natural results
Surfaces:
- Flat carrying surface: soft feel, less friction
- Textured surface: better tissue integration, reduced capsular fibrosis
Filling materials:
- silicone implants: natural feeling, cohesive gel
2. Autologous fat breast augmentation – the natural alternative
Autologous fat transplantation uses the body's own fatty tissue for moderate breast enlargement through liposuction.
Technique:
- Liposuction from the abdomen, thighs or hips, preparation and injection into the breast
Advantages of the method
- natural look and feel
- simultaneous body shaping through liposuction
- no foreign body risk
- minor scars
Limitations of the method
- moderate enlargement (1–2 cup sizes)
- often several sessions necessary
- partial resorption of fatty tissue

Breast augmentation – treatment procedure
Rules of conduct before breast enlargement
1. preparation
- Taking medication: Avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain dietary supplements (e.g., vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, ginkgo) for at least two weeks before surgery, as these can increase the risk of bleeding. Your doctor will give you a detailed list of medications to avoid.
- Smoking and alcohol: Stop smoking at least two weeks before surgery, as nicotine impairs circulation and can slow wound healing. Alcohol consumption should also be reduced.
- Nutrition: Make sure you eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of water to optimally prepare your body for the procedure.
- Adjusting the contraceptive pill: Discuss with your doctor whether it is necessary to temporarily stop taking the pill to minimize the risk of thrombosis.
- Skin care: Avoid using harsh skin care products in the breast area shortly before surgery.
Rules of conduct AFTER breast augmentation
1. Immediately after the operation
- Pain management: Follow your doctor's instructions about taking pain medication to help manage postoperative pain. Pain medications that thin the blood should still be avoided.
- wearing a support bra: Wear the support bra prescribed by your doctor 24 hours a day to stabilize your breasts and reduce swelling. This bra should be worn for at least six weeks.
- Sleep: Sleep in a slightly elevated position (on your back with pillows) to minimize swelling and promote healing.
2. First days and weeks after the operation
- Physical conservation: Avoid physical exertion, heavy lifting, and any activities that put pressure on the chest for at least four to six weeks.
- restrict arm movements: Do not raise your arms above shoulder height to avoid strain on the chest muscles.
- Wound care: Keep surgical wounds clean and dry. Follow your doctor's instructions for wound care and changing dressings.
- Showering and bathing: You can usually shower again 48 hours after the operation. However, avoid baths, saunas and swimming pools until the wounds have completely healed.
- have patience: It may take several months for the final results to be visible. Swelling and tightness subside and the breasts take on their final shape.
Results and Long-Term Effects
The results of breast augmentation are generally permanent, although the implants may need to be replaced after about 15 years . The final results are visible after a few months, once the swelling has completely subsided and the tissue around the implants has settled.
