Breast Implants – the Right Surgeon and the Right Implant

Breast implants are among the most popular aesthetic procedures. For the result to be convincing, an experienced team, high-quality implants and an honest explanation of the possibilities and limitations are essential.

The Right Surgeon

The term "cosmetic surgeon" is not a protected title in Germany. Therefore, always verify the specialist title and experience. Memberships in professional societies such as DGPRÄC or VDÄPC and transparent consultations with before-and-after concepts are good quality indicators.

Choosing the Implant

The latest generation of silicone implants feature a cohesive gel that is shape-stable and cannot leak. Saline implants can be inserted through smaller incisions, but offer a less natural feel. Special surface textures reduce the risk of capsular contracture.

Individual Planning

The size, shape and profile of the implant are guided by breast width, skin elasticity and desired contours. Together we determine the access route and placement – subglandular, dual plane or submuscular. This produces results that suit the figure and remain stable in the long term.

Aftercare for Long-Term Safety

A supportive bra, rest and gentle lymphatic drainage aid recovery. Regular ultrasound or MRI checks ensure that implants remain intact and breast tissue remains healthy. Established manufacturers also offer guarantee programmes for the rare event of damage.

FAQ

How do I find a qualified surgeon?

Look for the specialist title in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, memberships in professional societies, and transparent consultations including photographic documentation.

Which implant fill is the right choice?

Silicone gel implants offer a natural feel and shape stability. Saline implants can be inserted through smaller incisions, but often feel less natural.

How is the appropriate size determined?

We take into account breast width, skin elasticity and desired projection. 3D analyses and trial implants help to convey a realistic sense of the final shape.

How long do implants last?

Modern implants are durable and do not need to be routinely replaced. Follow-up examinations remain important – replacement is carried out only when medically necessary.
