Breast augmentation using implants or breast prostheses is the best technique for increasing breast size.
Breast augmentation using breast implants or breast prostheses.
Breast augmentation performed at the Phénicia Clinic in Marseille is carried out using a breast prosthesis or implant with a polymerized silicone shell. The implant is filled with either cohesive silicone gel or saline solution. Some breast prostheses may be surrounded by polyurethane foam, which statistically reduces the risk of capsular contracture.
Depending on the individual case (chest morphology, breast height, etc.), either round, circular-based breast prostheses or anatomical, teardrop-shaped implants can be used for breast augmentation in Marseille.
Breast augmentation with breast implants, insertion routes:
Each plastic surgeon at the Clinique Esthétique Phénicia in Marseille adopts their own unique technique. and that it adapts to each case ofbreast augmentation to achieve the best results when placing breast implants or prostheses.
• Areolar incisions with an incision in the lower segment of the areola circumference, or a horizontal opening around the nipple from below (1 and 2);
• Axillary approach with incision under the arm, in the armpit (3);
• Submammary approach with incision placed in the crease under the breast (4).
The location of these incisions corresponds, of course, to the location of the future scars, which will therefore be concealed in natural creases or junctions.
Breast implants or prostheses, possible positions:
During breast augmentation surgery at our Esthétique Phénicia clinic in Marseille, the implant or breast prosthesis is simply inserted into a space or "pocket" created by separating the tissue behind the mammary gland during the breast augmentation procedure; this space is adapted to the volume of the implant; The implant or breast prosthesis is not fixed and remains free in this pocket, adhering more or less to its walls.
A few weeks to a few months after breast augmentation surgery performed at our clinic in Marseille, the implant or breast prosthesis is surrounded by a thin collagen membrane produced from the surrounding tissue, known as a "capsule" (see § complications, below: this capsule can retract, thicken, deform, and harden the breast prosthesis or implant: this is called a "capsular contracture").
The implant or breast prosthesis can be placed in front of or behind the pectoralis major muscle (see diagram). There are advantages and disadvantages to each position. Your plastic surgeon will carefully analyze your individual parameters and choose the position of the implant or breast prosthesis that offers the most advantages and the fewest disadvantages for you during yourbreast augmentation surgeryin Marseille.
Breast augmentation in Marseille, post-operative care
Length of hospital stay after breast augmentation: generally one night after breast augmentation in Marseille, at the clinic.
The first night after breast surgery is spent in Marseille at the Clinique Phénicia, where the skilled staff will provide you with all the care you need to ease any pain following your breast augmentation procedure.
The pain will gradually decrease and subside within 8 to 10 days after breast augmentation surgery. Appropriate and powerful painkillers will be prescribed. This post-operative pain is less severe when the breast implants are placed in front of the muscle (see above).
Recovery time and time off work after an augmentation: 10 days minimum and more depending on your type of professional activity.
Wearing the "shaper" after augmentation: It is put in place immediately after the breast augmentation procedure performed in Marseille at the Clinique Phénicia; it is important to wear it tightly for 8 to 10 days to limit the risk of the implants or breast prostheses moving upwards (see above).
Wearing a bra after augmentation: opinions vary among surgeons, but usually no bra for 1 month to avoid the risk of the implants moving upward.

3D Simulation Breast Augmentation
How to go from an A cup to a C cup, or how to choose your breast prosthesis?
During your consultation for breast implants in Marseille at the Clinique Phénicia, you will benefit from a 3D morphing simulation of your chest with different types of implants (round, anatomical, etc.).
Consultation at the Phenicia Clinic with a patient and 3D imaging with the cosmetic surgery assistant of a slightly asymmetrical breast of approximately 100CC.
The patient chose a natural shape from one of our partners with an anatomical implant in consultation with the cosmetic surgeon for a volume of 245 cc. A second appointment with the surgeon is required to set a date for the procedure.
