FAQ / Breast reconstruction with an implant
General Questions
Breast reconstruction with an implant
Is symmetry adjustment of the other breast necessary?
Not always. In unilateral reconstruction, a minor adjustment of the other side can help achieve overall symmetry. The decision is made individually.
Where is the implant placed?
Under the muscle or above it. The choice depends on tissue thickness, scars, and the desired shape.
How is the size and shape chosen?
Based on chest width, tissue elasticity, and your personal preferences. The goal is a natural silhouette, not an extreme change.
Are implants included in the price?
No. The cost of implants is charged separately. After selecting the type, you will receive a transparent price calculation.
When can I return to activities?
Light activities are usually possible after one week, and sports after 4–6 weeks, according to the doctor’s recommendations.
Can reconstruction be combined with other adjustments?
Yes, for example with symmetry adjustment of the other breast or minor scar refinements. This always depends on individual assessment.
