Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is the second most common aesthetic surgery worldwide, after liposuction. The breast augmentation procedure has been around for over 30 years, but the techniques and tools used continue to evolve at a geometric pace. It is worth noting that in the United States alone, around 500,000 breast augmentation procedures are performed annually.

Furthermore, countless texts have been written about the importance of the female breast in terms of motherhood, beauty, eroticism, and its overall aesthetic significance in the female body.

Breast augmentation can offer you the perfect breasts you’ve always dreamed of!

The Advantages of the Subfascial Technique in Breast Augmentation

Dr. Boukouvalas uses the highly innovative and modern subperitoneal (subfascial) implant placement technique. In cases of very thin individuals, the doctor uses the Indian Tent technique. In this pioneering technique, the implant is placed beneath the entire pectoral major muscle, with a vertical incision in its lower fibers, to open and provide coverage on both sides.

In the subfascial technique, a very small incision of just 3 centimeters is made in the inframammary fold, and a pocket is created to accommodate the implant. This space is located between the fascia of the pectoralis major muscle and its stripped muscle fibers (subfascial level).

Based on this technique, the implant is placed just behind the breast tissue, without disturbing:

• The architecture of the breast
• Any of its functions (most importantly)

In this way, a woman can breastfeed after the surgery with absolutely no problem, and she can undergo full breast diagnostic checks in the years to come, as the breast’s architectural anatomy remains unaffected.

This excellent breast augmentation technique results in a uniquely natural outcome, with an ideal image for the décolleté and the breast, free from excesses and extremes we often see.

After all, the goal is to achieve a flawless, natural result.

Choosing the Right Size and Shape

A key issue in breast augmentation is selecting the right size and shape. In addition to sizes, implants come in different profiles (low, moderate, high, and extra high), which affect the final result.

During the consultation, the surgeon can help you visualize the final result using specially designed silicone templates that are placed in your bra. This gives you a very accurate idea of what the outcome will look like.

It is very important to note that the selection is made by the plastic surgeon, taking into account the patient’s wishes but mainly using specialized medical criteria, such as the capacity of the anatomical pocket, avoiding excessive tension on the surgical wound and the gland, etc.

The technique, the choice of the right size and shape, combined with the experience and expertise of the plastic surgeon, will provide you with the perfect breasts for your body!

Choosing the Right Implant

The implants used by Dr. Boukouvalas are made in the USA and come with a lifetime warranty for safety and exceptional characteristics. It is important for patients to know that implants do not need to be replaced during their lifetime.

Additionally, the implants used by the doctor are 6th generation nanotechnology implants, which have amazing rheology (natural movement), contributing to the natural outcome (a drop-shaped breast).

Just Before the Surgery

Immediately before the procedure, in a private area of the hospital, the photography, preoperative planning, and final pre-surgical examination and discussion with the patient take place, regardless of how many previous appointments may have occurred. Details about the implants, any points requiring clarification, and any questions the patient may have are discussed, and only once all her concerns are addressed, we move on to the next step.

Dr. Boukouvalas’ goal is to offer a flawless result to every patient. For this reason, liposuction of the area around the breast is performed.

Surgery & Recovery

The surgery lasts just 2 hours and is done under general anesthesia. After a nights stay, the patient is discharged and returns home, to work, and daily activities, simply wearing a sports bra for the next month. Light exercise is allowed after two weeks, and full exercise is permitted by the end of the first month.

What are the Benefits of the Method?

With this method of breast augmentation, a natural result is achieved in perfect harmony with the rest of the body. The goal is not simply to perform breast augmentation, but to provide a perfectly safe, non-traumatic outcome, offering the best body image!

So, trust the experienced hands of Dr. Boukouvalas and see for yourself the wonders that can be achieved!
