What it is
Breast augmentation with implants increases breast size and improves shape using a breast implant placed behind the breast tissue or muscle. It is one of the most established procedures in aesthetic surgery and is chosen to add volume, restore fullness lost after pregnancy or weight change, or improve proportion and symmetry.
At Skulpturkliniken a range of implants is available, including Motiva Ergonomix and Ergonomix2, Mentor round and teardrop, and Polytech B-Lite lightweight implants. The right device, size, profile, and placement (subglandular, subfascial, or dual-plane) are chosen for your tissue and goals, since no single implant suits everyone.
The result depends as much on planning as on the implant itself. The aim is a fuller breast in natural proportion to your frame, not the largest possible size. All surgery carries risks, and results vary between patients.
What it can improve
- Breast volume and fullness
- Volume loss after pregnancy or weight change
- Upper-pole fullness and cleavage
- Mild asymmetry in size or shape
- Overall proportion and balance
It does not lift significantly drooping breasts, which usually need a breast lift, and it does not improve skin quality, stretch marks, or large shape differences on its own.
Before the procedure
You will receive detailed instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, alcohol, fasting, and tests. Implant choice is planned together using measurements and sizing so the device fits your frame, with placement and incision chosen to suit your tissue.
During the procedure
Surgery is performed under anesthesia through a discreet incision, usually in the breast fold or around the areola. The implant is placed in the planned pocket with attention to symmetry, position, and natural drape, then the incision is closed in layers.
After the procedure
Swelling, tightness, and tenderness are normal and ease over the first weeks. A support bra is worn as advised, light walking is encouraged early, and exercise is reintroduced gradually. The breasts often sit high at first and settle into a softer, more natural position over a few months.
Results: what it can and cannot achieve
A fuller, better-proportioned breast is achievable. Augmentation cannot guarantee an exact cup size, cannot lift heavy sagging, and cannot stop the breast from aging. Implants do not last a lifetime, so future replacement or removal should be expected.
Possible risks and complications
Augmentation is generally safe in experienced hands, but all surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
- Bleeding or hematoma
- Infection
- Changes in nipple or skin sensation
- Capsular contracture
- Rippling, malposition, or implant rotation
- Asymmetry or unsatisfactory shape
- Implant rupture over time
- Rare association with implant-related illness, discussed at consultation
- Need for future surgery
Smoking, diabetes, and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems, so careful assessment and smoking cessation are essential.
Who it suits
Breast augmentation may suit patients who want more volume or improved shape. It is especially suitable for patients who:
- Feel their breasts are too small or have lost volume
- Want improved fullness, proportion, or symmetry
- Have good skin quality and minimal sagging
- Understand implants will likely need future surgery
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations and do not smoke or can stop before and after surgery
It may not suit patients with significant sagging, who may need a lift or a combined procedure, or those whose main concern is skin quality. Your surgeon assesses your anatomy before recommending an approach.
Why Skulpturkliniken
Breast surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso
Augmentation at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose reconstructive microsurgery background gives him a precise command of anatomy and symmetry, the foundation for safe, natural results.
Natural, balanced results
Dr. Amoroso plans augmentation around proportion, not maximum size. Implant choice, profile, and placement are selected so the breast suits your frame and moves naturally, with a result planned with restraint.
Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment
The relationship between patient and surgeon should rest on trust and honest communication. From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso helps you understand which implant and placement suit you, what is realistic, and whether surgery is right at all.
Individualized assessment
Every augmentation begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate:
Breast width, height, and existing tissue
Skin quality and degree of sagging
Chest wall and frame proportions
Nipple position and symmetry
Implant type, size, profile, and placement
Your goals and lifestyle
What Does Surgery Cost?
The costs of treatments are listed in the price section and often don't change. However, the price depends on the extent of the procedure, the technique used, anesthesia, surgical time, and whether additional procedures are combined.
Every operation is individually planned, and the final price is discussed clearly during consultation after Dr. Matteo Amoroso has assessed your anatomy, goals, and surgical needs.
All surgical prices include one of the most extensive, transparent, and safe warranty programs. The price is designed to be comprehensive and includes everything related to the operation, from consultation and surgical planning to the procedure itself, compression garment when applicable, direct access to Dr. Matteo Amoroso and the medical team, and unlimited follow-up controls during the first year.
