Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation at EsteticUsti increases breast size and improves contour using silicone implants or autologous fat transfer, performed under general anaesthesia with an overnight stay in the clinic's on-site recovery rooms. The clinic works with established implant brands — Mentor, Nagor, Arion, and Motiva — offering round, teardrop, and anatomical shapes with placement either under the breast gland or the chest muscle. The procedure includes pre-operative assessment, surgical photography, compression dressing, post-operative medications, monitoring, and multiple follow-up consultations — all included in the stated price. Sutures are removed at week two.

Breast augmentation at EsteticUsti is performed using one of two methods: implant-based augmentation or autologous fat transfer. Implant augmentation remains the more common technique: a silicone gel-filled implant is inserted through an inframammary, periareolar, or axillary incision (approach selected at consultation based on anatomy and desired scar placement), and positioned either in a subglandular plane (between the gland and the pectoralis major muscle) or a submuscular/dual-plane position (partially under the pectoralis muscle). Submuscular placement typically yields a more natural appearance in patients with limited natural breast tissue coverage and reduces capsular contracture rates according to some evidence. EsteticUsti offers implants from four brands: Mentor (USA, a Johnson & Johnson company), Nagor (UK), Arion (France), and Motiva (Costa Rica/Japan). Motiva implants in particular are noted for their progressive gel technology, which mimics the natural movement and feel of breast tissue across different body positions. Round implants create generalised volume, while anatomical (teardrop) implants project more at the lower pole to simulate natural breast morphology — the choice depends on the patient's existing anatomy and aesthetic goals. For autologous fat augmentation, fat is harvested by liposuction from a donor site (abdomen, flanks, or thighs), processed under sterile conditions, and injected into the breast tissue in multiple passes. This technique achieves more modest augmentation (typically one cup size) compared to implants but has the advantage of using the patient's own tissue — eliminating implant-related risks such as rupture, rotation, or capsular contracture. Pre-operative requirements include mammography or breast ultrasound plus a gynaecological examination, cessation of aspirin one month before, NPO from midnight, and complete smoking cessation throughout the healing period (smoking impairs wound healing and increases infection risk). Post-operatively, patients are monitored on-site through day 2, with a dressing change before discharge. Sutures are removed at week two during a follow-up visit.
