BREAST AUGMENTATION

cosmetic breast surgery




WHAT IS BREAST AUGMENTATION?
THE PROCEDURE
RECOVERY TIME

Breast augmentation is an ideal surgical option for those who wish to increase the volume and firmness of their breasts. This procedure, performed by Dr. Raffaele Castaldo, involves various technical nuances that require careful assessment on a case-by-case basis.
The insertion of implants is done through a small incision of approximately 4 cm, usually located along the lower edge of the areola or in the inframammary fold. A pocket is then prepared either beneath the mammary gland or the pectoral muscle, depending on individual needs, to accommodate the implants. The main techniques include: Subglandular placement: behind the mammary gland, recommended for patients with adequate breast tissue thickness. Retromuscular Positioning: behind the pectoralis major muscle, suitable for patients with little thickness of breast tissue. Submuscular placement: behind the pectoralis major muscle, suitable for patients with thin breast tissue. Dual plane technique: a modern approach combining the benefits of both previous methods, providing a more natural and harmonious result.
Recovery is gradual. Here are some key points: Absolute rest for at least five days. Showers allowed after 5–7 days. Sleep on your back for the first month. Drive only after 7–10 days. Avoid sports activities for 3–4 weeks. It is highly recommended to wear a compression bra and to follow the surgeon’s instructions for optimal healing.

THE PRIORITY: A NATURAL LOOK

Every woman has unique physical and tissue characteristics, along with individual expectations. For this reason, the choice of implants and surgical technique is crucial. A “tailored” breast appears more beautiful and natural-looking. While it is possible to undergo eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) multiple times, it is advisable to wait a few years between procedures to ensure optimal results and minimize risks.

Dr. Castaldo uses only the best breast implants available worldwide – Mentor, Polytech, and Motiva. These implants are chosen for their superior quality, safety, and natural results. Your health and satisfaction are top priorities, and with these state-of-the-art implants, you can expect exceptional results that reflect your vision of beauty.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES IN BREAST AUGMENTATION

As previously mentioned, implants are inserted through a small 4 cm incision, usually in the lower edge of the areola or in the inframammary fold. A pocket is created under the gland or muscle to place the implants based on individual needs.
