Augmentation Mammoplasty in Uberlândia, Brazil
Breast augmentation with silicone implants, chosen and positioned to fit each body.
Augmentation Mammoplasty
Augmentation mammoplasty with silicone implants is indicated for patients seeking more volume, projection or symmetry.
Implant size, profile and surgical approach are chosen together with the patient, always based on a detailed evaluation of chest anatomy and existing breast tissue.
Modern silicone implants undergo strict quality and safety controls, and the choice of brand and model is discussed individually at the consultation.
- — Evaluation of chest anatomy and available breast tissue.
- — Discussion of implant size, profile and placement (submuscular or subglandular).
- — Guidance on post-operative care and medium/long-term follow-up.
- — Post-operative follow-up with a direct concierge channel.
Common questions about Augmentation Mammoplasty
Do silicone implants ever need to be replaced?
Modern implants are durable, but periodic follow-up is important to monitor implant integrity over the years.
Can I breastfeed after getting implants?
In most cases, yes — implants usually do not directly compromise the mammary gland, though this is assessed individually.
What is the difference between submuscular and subglandular?
These are different implant placement planes, each with its own recovery profile and result characteristics, chosen according to the patient's anatomy.
What type of anesthesia is used?
Usually general anesthesia, determined by pre-operative assessment together with the anesthesiology team.
How long does the surgery take?
It usually takes one to two hours, depending on the surgical approach and implant placement chosen.
How much rest is needed at the start of recovery?
Relative rest is recommended in the first week, with a gradual return to daily activities in the following weeks.
When can I go back to work?
It varies by activity type — desk work is usually resumed sooner than jobs requiring intense arm movement.
When can I drive again?
Usually after the first few days, once strong pain medication is no longer needed and arm movement feels comfortable.
When can I resume physical exercise, including strength training?
Return is gradual: light activity is usually cleared first, with higher-impact exercise or upper-body training only after medical reassessment.
Do I need to wear a surgical bra or compression garment afterward?
Yes — wearing a surgical bra for a recommended period helps the implant settle during healing.
Is there a risk of capsular contracture?
It's a known risk of any implant surgery, though not common — post-operative care and periodic follow-up help monitor this possibility.
Is the scar very visible?
The scar's length and position depend on the surgical approach chosen, planned to be as discreet as possible for each patient's anatomy.
