Breast Reduction, Augmentation and Lift
Too large, too small or sagging: several
methods allow the correction of the morphology of the
breasts to adapt them to the silhouette.
Breasts - Too Large
Breast reduction solves aesthetic and
functional problems caused by the extra weight, (which
produces pain in the spinal muscles). This operation
can be done from the age of 17. But it is advised sometimes
to delay the operation until all planned pregnancies
are over. The operation generally lasts an average of
two hours, requires general anesthesia and a stay in
the clinic of about three days. In this type of procedure
the scars are more visible than in the other two.
Breasts - Too Small
When breasts are increased with implants,
a partial anesthesia is often used. The choice of the
positioning of the implant (in front of or behind the
muscle), of the type of incision (around the areola
or under the armpit), of the volume or of the nature
of implant vary depending on the anatomy and quality
of the skin. This procedure can be performed at the
end of adolescence. The scars are almost invisible and
the results are excellent and natural. For those who
do not wish implants, surgeons of LACLINIC are the only
ones in Switzerland to offer breast augmentation using
microsurgical skin tissues taken from the patient herself
without the addition of prosthesis.
Sagging Breasts
It is more often after a pregnancy or
weight loss that the mammary gland collapses. The procedure
consists in remodeling the breasts by fixing the gland
in a good position and by removing the excess skin.
This procedure can be done at any age. It is generally
performed under partial anesthesia. A stay at the clinic
is not always necessary.
Pre and Post-Operative Effects and Results
Blood exams are done systematically before
the operation to trace eventual contra-indications.
These procedures do not involve pain and if any, very
little. The patient will be required to wear a support
bra day and night for three weeks. Definite results
are visible after two months. The breasts have then
a harmonious and natural shape. The sensitivity is preserved
and generally breastfeeding remains possible even after
large reductions.
