- Inframammary (incision under the breast)

How to Choose the Right Implant Size?
The final size is mostly a personal decision by the patient. Before surgery and making a definitive decision on how the procedure will be performed and with which implants, it is necessary to have an examination by a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery. During this first examination, the doctor will listen to your wishes in terms of the shape and size of the breasts you want.
