Breast augmentation

Brest augmentation

Breast augmentation is considered to be relatively minor but very effective cosmetic surgery procedure. Although it is technically rather simple, this operation requires surgeon’s sense of proportion and shaping.

While performing breast augmentation surgery, Dr Toncic relies on years of experience, his sense of shaping and artistic nature. All of these characteristics are best shown when Dr Toncic needs to make a preoperative sketch and while choosing the size and shape of implants, together with the patient, whose wishes are highly respected by Dr Toncic and his surgical team.

All of our patient’s wishes are absorbed and taken into special consideration, as we always do our best to meet our patient’s wishes and aesthetic surgery options.

By inserting the top quality breast implants, by reputable manufactures, we can easily achieve the desired breast enlargement. Dr Toncic and his team use silicone implants by Eurosilicone reputable and renowned breast implants producers. After the operation, our patient receives the certificate for her implants.

Silicone implants are soft and when touched or pressed against, breasts feel very natural. It is important to know that patients can easily breast feed their babies with implants. After the surgery, breasts are available for medical examinations because the implants are placed under the pectoral muscle or above the muscle, i.e. directly under the breast gland.

To undergo breast augmentation surgery, patients have to be at least 18 years old.

DR. RAJKO & DR. DINKO TONCIC ON THE AUGMENTATION BREAST OPERATION

Although this operation is preformed regularly in our clinic, the professionalism of our surgical team headed by Dr Toncic makes us pay special attention to the preoperative preparation of our patient.

Nowadays, with highly efficient surgical techniques and high quality implants the correction of small, underdeveloped or asymmetrical breasts isn’t a wishful thinking any more. Today, breast augmentation is quite simple and safe operation, which aims at raising the quality of one’s lifestyle.

What are the most common indications for breast augmentation in the clinic DR. TONČIĆ?

Indications for breast augmentation include: underdeveloped and small breasts, breast asymmetries, innate breast anomalies and reconstructive breast surgery.

Surgical incision is placed in the armpit, around the nipple or below the breast. Considering these locations, the scar is not visible after the operation.

The results of this type of surgery are noticeable immediately and the patients are instantly very satisfied with it.

The breast enlargement operation with silicone implants, which started in the early 60s, is considered to be one of the youngest cosmetic surgery procedures. Since then millions of women have had silicone implants and, as a result, reactions to implants have been well researched and documented, over the years. It is possible to have a reaction to an implant, like the forming of a thin membrane as a kind of a natural barrier to the implant. Implant rejections are very rare and they manifest themselves as an infection or capsule around the implant.

It is imperative to eliminate the belief that silicone implants can cause breast cancer. Nothing has ever been proven or published in any serious medical literature to support this statement. Silicone has a wide-range of applications in medicine and so far, it has been considered as the best material for production of implants used in human bodies, because human organism accepts it very well.

Artificial heart valves, pacemakers, skin creams, pacifiers for children, syringe lubricants, etc. are all made from silicone. No medical professionals have expressed concern for patient's health, when silicone implants are used.

ANAESTHESIA AND THE PROCEDURE

This operation is done under general anesthesia given by a top anaesthesiologist, medical doctor. The patient is asleep during the operation and the whole procedure is painless.

The patient stays in the clinic for 12 hours. It takes about an hour for preoperative preparations, and around an hour and a half for the operation itself after which the patient rests. Once discharged from the surgery the patient is sent to home care.

PRIOR TO THE OPERATION – PATIENT’S PREPARATION

Prior to the breast augmentation operation, the patient goes through a routine preoperative analysis, which comprises the internal specialist examination with ECG and a blood test analysis.

We have a special arrangement with our foreign patients. Prior to the operation and preoperative examination, we hold consultation through emails, photos and by phone. This way, our surgeons get a deeper insight into the individual case, according to which they can estimate whether the patient is a suitable candidate for the desired operation.

This procedure allows our patient to come to Zagreb for the operation one time only. When our patient arrives, we hold final preoperative consultation and medical examination (including blood test and internal specialist examination with ECG), where we discuss the details of the operation together with the patient. After the consultation, we perform the surgery.

Before the operation, in our correspondence and detailed conversation, we instruct our patients to discontinue painkillers and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, containing acetylsalicylic acid like Aspirin, Andol or Acisal.

This is very important factor in patient’s preparation for the surgery, as this way we prevent possible bleeding and haematoma during and after the procedure. Following this instruction makes the recovery quicker and more successful, and the result of the operation is improved.

POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD AND RECOVERY

Great success of the operations in Dr Toncic’s clinic is largely due not only to the experience of our surgical team, their precise and enhanced techniques, but also to well organized professional postoperative care.

To be sure of the success of the operation and wellbeing of the patient, Dr Toncic and his team insist on regular check ups and everyday contact with the patient. For our patients’ safety, successful recovery and postoperative monitoring, we recommend optimal length of stay in Zagreb. This way, we leave nothing to chance. We monitor our patient’s recovery completely, which is crucial for our patient’s health and the result of the operation.

Postoperative recovery after breast augmentation is individual, usually lasting 10 days after the operation. The stitches are removed ten days after the surgery, and our patient can resume her personal and professional activities.

In order to have the least noticeable scar possible, it would be best to avoid sun exposure for six to twelve months after the operation.
