BREAST AUGMENTATION IN PARIS

WHAT EXACTLY IS BREAST AUGMENTATION?

In 2024, 82,600 breast implants sold in France, a figure that reflects precise and varied motivations, far beyond a simple aesthetic desire.

There are many different patient profiles:

• young women with congenital breast hypoplasia, often a source of discomfort in adolescence; ;
• women who have been through pregnancies or significant weight variations, resulting in breast ptosis and deflation; ;
• patients with significant asymmetry between the two breasts ;
• women seeking reconstruction after a mastectomy partial;
• finally, some consult only in a purely personal approach, without medical indication, with breasts deemed insufficient for their overall morphology.

Expectations have changed radically: harmony and natural results now take precedence over volume. 

3 BREAST AUGMENTATION TECHNIQUES IN PARIS: ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES AND EXPECTED RESULTS

There are 3 main techniques for increasing breast size:

BREAST AUGMENTATION BY BREAST LIPOFILLING (FAT INJECTION)

For those who want a moderate increase without implant and have sufficient fat reserves, the breast lipofilling in Paris is a natural alternative. Note, however, that volume gain is limited to around one cup, and a second session may be necessary in the event of partial fat reabsorption.

This technique is based on 3 steps:

• fat liposuction in a donor area (abdomen, thighs, flanks),
• purification by filtration to retain only viable fat cells,
• reinjection in the breast.

This process offers a twofold advantage subtle breast augmentation and a overall silhouette improvement in the same operating time.

Its advantages are real:

• natural feel,
• total absence of foreign bodies and therefore zero risk of rejection or rupture,
• almost invisible scars,
• stability of results over time.

BREAST IMPLANTS: WHY CHOOSE THIS TECHNIQUE FOR BREAST ENLARGEMENT?

Breast implant surgery is the reference technique for breast augmentation, is highly acclaimed for its reliability and the precision of its results. It is essential when the desired gain exceeds one cup or when fat reserves are insufficient for lipofilling. It enables significant volume increases and can correct moderate breast ptosis on its own. Cohesive silicone gel implants offer a natural feel, with discreet scars. The prosthesis guarantees a predictable, controlled result, including the final cup.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF YOUR PROSTHESES

Choosing the size and shape of your breast forms is based on several criteria:

• Patient morphology For a harmonious look, it's essential to choose the right size for your figure.
• The desired effect Some want discreet, natural volume, others a more pronounced result.
• Implant shape: the round implant provides more volume in the upper part of the breast, giving more curved effect, while the ianatomical implant imitates the natural shape of the breast for a more discreet look.

COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY: A HYBRID APPROACH

Between implants and autologous fat injection, there is a third way: breast augmentation composite. It combines breast implant placement with fat injection to optimize the result. Prostheses provide volume and projection, while autologous fat helps to soften contours, improve the transition between implant and breast tissue and achieve an even more natural look.

This hybrid approach is particularly appealing to patients seeking’pronounced curves without artificial effects. However, it requires double intervention, This can slightly lengthen the operating time and recovery phase.

HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE: WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS?

As a general rule breast augmentation management, when the operation is purely cosmetic, is not insured because it is purely cosmetic.

However, certain situations may give rise to a partial or total coverage, including :

• A congenital breast malformation

RECOMMENDATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS BEFORE BREAST AUGMENTATION: WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

The first consultation with Dr. Djian is a structuring and decisive step. It includes a full discussion of medical history, the current treatments, the smoking, the weight variations and pregnancy plans. Dr. Djian also assesses your expectations: discreet, natural, moderate or more pronounced augmentation.

A meticulous clinical examination This is followed by measurements of breast symmetry, width and height, and skin and glandular thickness. Trials with simulation prostheses are proposed to refine together the volume selection, the shape and implant projection in the case of augmentation with a prosthesis. 

A pre-operative check-up is then systematically prescribed: mammography for patients over 25 years of age or ultrasound breast for under-25s, and complete blood test. In the case of breast lipofilling, a review of donor zones is also carried out to assess the quality and quantity of grease available for sampling.

In terms of practical recommendations, the’It is imperative to quit smoking at least one month before operation and all anticoagulant or anti-inflammatory treatment must be suspended in the days preceding the operation.

Anticipating 7 to 10-day convalescence allows you to approach the operation with peace of mind.

BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY: FROM THE OPERATING ROOM TO DISCHARGE FROM THE CLINIC

The breast surgery in Paris follows a precise protocol, from the moment the patient is admitted to the clinic until he or she is discharged home.

On the day of surgery, the process begins with a full medical check-up before entering the operating room.

Under general anaesthetic, the surgeon makes the incisions according to the chosen technique, inserts the breast implants, then closes with appropriate sutures. The operation generally lasts between 2 and 4 hours, followed by monitoring in the recovery room.

Once fully awake, the patient receives post-operative instructions on pain management, scar care and precautions to optimize recovery.

Discharge is usually on the same day or after a short hospital stay, according to the protocol defined with the surgeon.

WHICH BREAST IMPLANT TO CHOOSE?

The choice of positioning of breast prostheses, in front of or behind the muscle,plays a key role in aesthetics and post-operative comfort:

The choice depends on the patient's morphology, aesthetic expectations and physical activity. An assessment with the surgeon is essential to determine the best option.

SCARS: WHAT TO EXPECT

Scars after breast augmentation are a major concern after breast surgery. Their location depends on the incision technique chosen:

• Sub-mammary : in the natural fold of the breast, discreet and ideal for large implants
• After-school around the nipple, inconspicuous scarring but may present a risk of sensitivity disturbance
• Trans-axillary: under the armpit, rarely performed.
  

With breast lipofilling, scars are virtually non-existent. Fat is harvested via micro-incisions of just a few millimeters in the donor area (abdomen, thighs or flanks), and reinjection into the breast leaves no visible scars. This is one of the major advantages of this technique for patients who make it a priority.

For optimal healing, we recommend :

• Moisturizing the skin and apply appropriate healing creams.
• Avoid sun exposure without SPF 50+ protection
• Post-operative care prescribed by the surgeon.
• Consult a specialist in the event of persistent redness, oozing or unusual pain.

In some cases, laser treatments or injections can improve the appearance of scars over the long term. Rigorous follow-up with Dr. Djian's surgeon helps optimize healing and achieve a satisfactory aesthetic result.
