Breast / Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is surgery that increases and shapes the volume of the breast.

Since breast augmentation enlarges the breasts, the intervention does not move it, nor rises it.

Breast augmentation is a big help to those who want a breast with a fuller profile,
after pregnancy and breast-feeding or
those who underwent a breast reconstruction surgery.

What you want to know about breast augmentation?

Your breast augmentation can be an outpatient procedure, but it’s still an operation! After your consultation and visit to his medical office in Lugano, Dr. Borra will estimate how much time he’ll need to perform the procedure, and if you will need to be hospitalized overnight. Dr. Borra will take his time to be sure you get a balanced and beautiful result.

For the best possible result, Dr. Borra will perform breast augmentation under anesthesia. Before surgery, you and Dr. Borra will have chosen implants deciding the type and the size that will give you the result you want. With a small incision, Dr. Borra will carefully position the implants in your breast.

Proper placement is the key to any breast augmentation.

Lugano’s plastic surgeon, Dr. Luca Borra, points out that to have a perfect result  the prosthesis should be positioned correctly. He will take great care to make sure that your implants will give your breasts a natural result and are well supported. By  placing the implants under the pectoral muscles with dual plane technique you will be sure that the implants will remain in the correct position, they will be more natural and they will have less chance of late complications such as capsular contracture.

Dr. Borra has valuable tips on how to choose your breast augmentation. With him you  can choose among several options.

Crease Incision Breast Augmentation

Transaxillary Breast Augmentation
Pioneer of this refined technique that only a few surgeons can really offer, Dr. Borra was called in 2009 to perform this surgery live on Swiss Television, which followed him in the operating theatre. Scares are invisible.
The result is spectacular and makes this technique a real jewel. Get to know directly from Dr. Borra what makes Transaxillary Breast Augmentation  more advantageous than the others.

Dual Plane Breast Augmentation
More and more requested, it is essential for patients with small breasts. Prosthesis is positioned below the chest muscles in the upper part and under the mammary gland in the lower part.

What can you to expect after breast augmentation?

The same day

You will be constantly monitored and observed until you are able to go home. Sometimes it will be necessary to stay in the clinic overnight. Someone will have to take you home and drive. At home you will need to be assisted for a day or two. Remember to buy the medicines prescribed before surgery and keep them on hand. Please have ice packs  available  to put on the chest.

The first week

In the first few days your breasts will be covered with a dressing and a bra provided by the staff. One can not take a shower until the dressing is removed. Do not lift anything heavier than 10 kg. Do not do exercises, but if you feel like walking you can do so. Usually four days after surgery Dr. Borra takes away the dressing and you will see your new breasts for the first time.  A bit of burning and itching are normal.

A month

You’ll see yourself beautiful. You can do exercises with  arms and chest after 1 month from the breast augmentation. The skin and the muscles will be adapting to the presence of the prosthesis and the breasts will be softer and will adapt to your movements in a natural way. You will appreciate the meticulousness with which Dr. Borra closed incisions because the scars will become invisible.

What patients say: Manuela T.

Dear girls and women I want you to know that if you want a very professional cosmetic surgeon, but above all capable, I would strongly advise Dr Luca Borra of Lugano.I turned to him for a breast augmentation. I state I was very skeptical because I had already been seen by a renowned surgeon, but unfortunately during the visit he was dismissive and very quick with his explanation wich left me puzzled, so I tried to find another surgeon that would meet my needs.During the visit with dr Luca Borra I realized that in front of me there was a pleasant surgeon who also could see the human side and not just the aesthetics.I asked a lot of questions and doubts that I had flashed on my mind and he responded with calm and tranquility to all my perplexities without dodging any problem. I had surgery with him and to this day it has been a year and a half and the results are perfect without consequences. Apart from the initial pain I have not had any problems and returned to work after about a week.I would strongly recommend Luca Borra for any surgery, because the main difference lies in the human factor, and he is able to grasp the human and aesthetic aspects. Not least the size and type of prosthesis that he recommends are not like we could imagine, but he creates union and harmony with the body without falling into the vulgar.
