## What does it involve?

Breast augmentation is one of the most performed procedures at the clinic. The complication rate is very low and the result is immediate. Breast implants have been an integral part of breast surgery for over 35 years, with widely recognised effectiveness.

Every woman is unique, so implants differ in size, shape and surface: smooth or textured, round or anatomical (tear-drop). There are three approaches — axillary, areolar and inframammary — and the choice is defined together in consultation based on your anatomy and goals.

The procedure places a silicone or saline implant behind the breast tissue or beneath the pectoral muscle to increase size, shape and fullness. It also corrects asymmetry and restores volume lost with age or pregnancies.

Santelly · Technique chosen for your anatomy, not for trends

## What it corrects

- Volume lost after pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Asymmetry between both breasts
- Small or under-projected breasts
- Breasts that lost shape and firmness with age
- Desire for fuller upper pole without a lift

## Is it for you?

- **You want natural**: You are looking for volume that harmonises with your silhouette rather than an obvious result.
- **Stable health**: No active smoking, stable weight and complete pre-operative work-up.
- **Realistic planning**: You accept an honest assessment of size, profile and technique before deciding.

Private assessment required · Not suitable with active smoking or incomplete pre-op work-up

## FAQ

### How long do breast implants last?

Cohesive gel implants are a long-lasting device. The result remains stable for years, although periodic review is recommended and, in some cases, replacement after one or two decades.

### Which technique is best: axillary, areolar or inframammary?

It depends on your anatomy, the implant type and the desired final position. All three are valid; the right one is defined during assessment with clinical photos and measurements.

### Can I travel from California?

Yes. We coordinate private transport, expedited border crossing and a recovery suite. Most patients return to San Diego or California during the second week.
