Breast augmentation
Treatment
Many women dream of a fuller and more beautiful bosom. After pregnancy, due to slimming or ageing, breasts can become smaller or simply less firm. But breast enlargement is also a solution for women whose breasts are underdeveloped. Your self-confidence is boosted when you can flaunt a young, firm bosom with one or more cup sizes added. Breast augmentation is successful when the new bosom looks natural and the surgery scar is invisible.
Why choose Dr. Patrick Dedoncker?
The right guidance for the right choice
The right size
Most women choose a natural volume between 200-350cc. For a deeper cleavage, 350-500 cc or more may be appropriate. Within the same cc size, there are different projections that determine the shape:
High profile: more forward, rounder effect, suitable for narrow chests.
Low profile: flatter and wider, subtle and natural.
Normal profile: balance between the two.
The right shape
Round implants are smooth and easy to place through a small incision. They give a nice round breast with extra volume at the top - ideal for visible cleavage.
Anatomical (drop shape) implants offer a very natural shape, but are slightly trickier to place due to the firm gel. They are mainly chosen for a subtle and elegant end result.
The right filling
Silicone implants contain a cohesive gel that feels natural and retains its shape, making them very reliable and popular.
Saltwater (saline) implants are filled during surgery, but feel less natural and have more risk of wrinkle formation. New or experimental fillings are not used because of missing long-term data.

Important information
Scar
Breast augmentation usually leaves a scar, but modern techniques make it almost invisible. Encapsulation and infections are very rare complications and risks are further reduced by antibiotics and surgical precision.
Recovery
The first 48 hours may be sensitive. Heavy exertion will be 4 weeks avoided, sports after 1 month, daily activities faster. The body anchors the prosthesis within 2 months, then normal functioning and training is possible again.
Possible risks
Rejection or infection is extremely rare. Antibiotics and prostheses with a light-rough texture reduce complications even further. Capsularisation rarely occurs and greatly reduces with our procedure. If necessary, blood vessels are stopped by laser to control post-bleeding.
Anaesthetic
The operation takes place under general anaesthesia with continuous monitoring by an anaesthetist. As a result, you feel nothing during the procedure and an overnight stay at the clinic after the procedure is usually not necessary.
Precautions
The operation takes place under maximum safety and monitoring. Anaesthesia is tailored to your comfort: as least invasive as possible, as effective as necessary. If you use blood thinners or medication, you will be given clear instructions beforehand. You will also receive a direct contact number from your surgeon for extra peace of mind during recovery.
