Mammoplasty

Aesthetic augmentation mammoplasty (placement of breast prostheses) improves the shape, volume and consistency of the breasts through the correct placement of silicone implants. Since many patients want this procedure because they are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts, this intervention can improve self-esteem and confidence.

Who are candidates?

Women with very small breasts who want more volume, women who want to correct breast reduction after breastfeeding, or women who want to balance the difference in size between the breasts.

During the evaluation, the size of the implant is chosen, taking care that it is the most appropriate according to your height, weight and body structure.
