Surgical procedure
Here we go through the process so that you can set the right expectations for the process. Along the way, you will be closely followed up by our healthcare team.
Preparation for surgery
Before a surgical procedure, the patient will undergo a consultation with the surgeon to discuss expectations, risks and possible complications. The patient will also be informed about the type of prosthesis that best suits their body and desired outcome.
In addition, the patient will be asked to provide information about medications they are taking, allergies and previous surgical procedures.
Fasting before surgery: The patient will also be asked to avoid eating and drinking for at least six hours before surgery.
During surgery
A surgical procedure to insert silicone breasts is performed under general anesthesia.
The surgeon will usually make an incision under the breast. It is also possible to make the incision in the breast itself at the junction of the areola and breast tissue, or in the armpit, depending on the patient's preference and body type.
The choice of prosthesis is also important when it comes to placing the incision. The surgeon will then create a pocket in the tissue to place the prosthesis.
Silicone prostheses can be placed above or below the pectoral muscles, depending on the patient's body type and desired result. The trend in recent years has been to increasingly place the prosthesis in front of the muscles. After the prosthesis is placed, the surgeon will close the incision with sutures.
After surgery
After the operation, the patient will have bandages around the breasts and may feel tender and sore. Pain medication will be prescribed to relieve discomfort. The patient will also be asked to wear a special support bra for a few weeks after surgery to help support the breasts and reduce swelling.
The patient will be asked to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for a few weeks after surgery. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions to ensure a successful rehabilitation and minimize the risk of complications.

Immediately after the operation, the patient will be monitored by healthcare professionals to ensure that everything is going well.

Physical activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least three weeks after surgery.

Follow-up after one to two weeks: The patient will have a follow-up appointment with their surgeon one to two weeks after surgery to check that everything is going well and to remove any stitches. Usually, internal stitches are used, which do not need to be removed and go away on their own. It is also important to follow all instructions given by the surgeon and healthcare professionals to ensure a quick and successful return to normal daily function and activity.
In addition to following the instructions of your surgeon and healthcare professional, you may want to follow some general tips to help in the healing process.

Possible complications with breast implants
Although silicone breasts are a popular form of plastic surgery, it is important to be aware that there may be some risks and complications associated with the procedure.

This can cause the breasts to feel hard and painful, in which case it may be necessary to remove the implant and perform a new operation.
Infection: Another possible risk is infection. Although rare, infections can occur after surgery. This may result in the implant having to be removed temporarily or permanently, depending on the severity of the infection.
Changed sensitivity: Some women may also experience changes in the sensitivity of their breasts or nipples after surgery. This can be temporary or permanent, depending on how severe it is.
Low risk of damage to implants: There is also a small risk that the implant may rupture or leak. This can cause the breasts to look unnatural or feel hard and painful. If this happens, the implant will need to be removed and possibly replaced with a new one. The quality of today's silicone implants is significantly better compared to previous implants. Mentor now offers a lifetime guarantee that the implants will not rupture.
Discuss with your doctor: It is important to discuss all possible risks and complications with your doctor before deciding to undergo silicone boob job surgery. It is also important to choose an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon to minimize the risk of complications.
