Breast Augmentation with Implants

Breast augmentation with silicone implants increases cup size and improves breast symmetry for patients with naturally small or uneven breasts. At Art Ethic, implants are sourced from German and US manufacturers and matched to the patient's anatomy during a dedicated sizing consultation using sizers. Surgery takes approximately one hour under general anaesthesia with a one-night hospital stay. Lead surgeon doc. MUDr. Martin Molitor, Ph.D., MBA — Head of Plastic Surgery at Bulovka Hospital — brings 25 years of experience to implant selection, incision placement, and pocket positioning, with results reassessed at six months when final softening and settling occur.

Breast augmentation with silicone implants is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic surgeries worldwide, and at Art Ethic Beauty Clinic it is carried out by an Associate Professor of plastic surgery with a quarter century of operative experience. The procedure addresses small breast volume, asymmetry between the two sides, or loss of fullness after weight change or breastfeeding. During the pre-operative consultation, the surgeon discusses implant shape (round or anatomical), surface texture, and volume using physical sizers to trial different outcomes before any decision is finalised. Implants are sourced exclusively from established German and US manufacturers and carry long-term safety certification. The final choice is personalised to the patient's chest measurements, existing tissue, and aesthetic goals. Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately one hour. The implant is typically placed through a small incision in the inframammary fold — the natural crease beneath the breast — which keeps the scar discreet. The pocket is created either above or beneath the pectoral muscle depending on tissue coverage. Patients spend one night in the surgical facility at MY CLINIC Dejvice before returning home. Recovery follows a structured timeline: the first two to four weeks involve avoiding arm-raise movements and wearing the provided compression garment continuously; light activity resumes after four weeks; unrestricted exercise and activity are safe from two months onwards. The final softened, settled result is visible at around six months as the implant integrates fully with surrounding tissue. The procedure is not recommended for patients with significantly sagging breasts, where mastopexy (or augmentation mastopexy) is the more appropriate approach. This is assessed at consultation. Implants do not interfere with mammography when performed correctly, and the surgeon provides guidance on appropriate imaging protocols post-operatively. Candidates should be in stable general health, non-smokers or willing to pause smoking, and not planning pregnancy in the near term. The clinic works with most Czech health insurance providers — for reconstructive cases (e.g. post-mastectomy reconstruction), partial reimbursement may apply via the patient's insurer after the procedure.
