What is a breast augmentation?

A breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the volume, improve the shape, and balance the proportion of the bust, achieving a more harmonious and natural silhouette. Through personalized techniques and precise planning, it allows the size and projection of the breast to be adapted to the characteristics of each woman, achieving aesthetic, proportionate results that are in harmony with her body and style, while also boosting confidence and personal well-being.

There are submammary, periareolar, and axillary approaches; the best approach is not universal: it is decided according to anatomy, type of implant, placement plane, and the natural result sought.

What approaches exist

Breast augmentation via axillary approach:

It is a surgical technique where the incision to place the implants is made in the armpit, instead of in the submammary fold (under the breast) or around the areola.

Breast augmentation via inframammary approach:

The surgeon makes a 4–5 cm incision in the inframammary fold. From there, the pocket for the implant is created, which can be placed:

  • Under the muscle (submuscular)
  • Dual plane
  • Or over the muscle (subglandular)

Breast augmentation via periareolar approach:

The periareolar approach is the technique in which the implant is inserted through an incision on the lower edge of the areola (the dark area around the nipple). The scar is camouflaged in the color change between skin and areola.

What does a breast augmentation at IdB involve?

Breast augmentation begins with a preliminary assessment to analyze the patient's anatomy, proportions, and goals. After this study, the surgeon selects the most suitable breast implant and surgical technique. The procedure involves inserting the implants through a small incision (inframammary fold, areola, or armpit) and placing them in the optimal plane to achieve a natural, harmonious result in line with the silhouette.

Preparation and Recovery: The IdB Protocol

Preoperative

The process begins with a personalized assessment in which the anatomical characteristics, skin quality, chest shape, and the patient's aesthetic goals are studied. During this phase, the size, projection, and type of implant most suitable, as well as the approach route and placement plane, are defined to achieve a natural and harmonious result.

Before the intervention, preoperative medical tests are performed to ensure the safety of the procedure. In addition, specific recommendations are provided, such as avoiding certain medications, following instructions on prior fasting, and preparing for the postoperative period to promote a comfortable recovery.

Preparation and Recovery: The IdB Protocol

Postoperative

After surgery, a progressive recovery period begins in which it is normal to experience swelling, a feeling of pressure, or mild discomfort that is usually controlled with prescribed medication.

During the first few weeks, it is recommended to:

  • Use a post-surgical bra to stabilize the implant and promote proper adaptation.
  • Avoid intense physical efforts and sudden arm movements.
  • Sleep on your back to protect the treated area.
  • Attend medical check-ups to monitor progress.

Most patients resume daily activities in a few days, although complete recovery and the definitive adaptation of the implant occur gradually, allowing the breast to acquire an increasingly natural appearance over the weeks.

Specialists in secondary breast augmentation surgeries

A second breast intervention is a surgery performed after a previous breast augmentation when one wants to improve, modify, or correct some aspect of the initial result. It does not always respond to a medical problem; in many cases, it is simply done because the patient wishes to change the size, shape, or adapt the breast to a new stage of her life.

It may involve changing the implants, adjusting their position, replacing them with different ones, or correcting situations that have appeared over time, such as breast hardening, implant displacement, or changes in shape due to aging, pregnancy, or weight variations.

The goal of a second surgery is always to improve the result, maintain a natural appearance, and ensure long-term comfort and safety.

Who is NOT suitable: contraindications of breast augmentation

Although breast augmentation is one of the plastic surgeries with the longest track record and a very well-established safety profile, there are situations where it is contraindicated or should be postponed. At Instituto de Benito, we always evaluate this in the preoperative medical assessment, above any aesthetic or commercial consideration. A suitable candidate is not measured only by her desire to undergo surgery: she is measured by her health status, emotional stability, and realistic expectation of the result.

ContraindicationReason
Ongoing pregnancy or active breastfeedingHormonal and volumetric changes in the breast during pregnancy and breastfeeding alter the surgical outcome and increase the anesthetic risk and postoperative complications. Surgery is postponed until at least 6 months after the end of breastfeeding.
Active breast cancer or suspicion of unidentified lesionAny undiagnosed mammographic, ultrasound, or clinical finding must be studied beforehand. Cosmetic surgery never takes precedence over oncological evaluation.
Active infection, local or systemicSignificantly increases the risk of periprosthetic infection, capsular contracture, and poor healing. The intervention is postponed until the infectious process is completely resolved.
Severe coagulation disordersIncrease the risk of postoperative hematomas, intraoperative bleeding, and healing complications. Require prior hematological evaluation.
Decompensated systemic diseasesIncrease anesthetic risk and compromise healing. They must be stabilized before considering surgery.
Active smokingNicotine reduces cutaneous blood flow and severely compromises healing, increasing the risk of areola-nipple complex necrosis, suture dehiscence, and infection. We require smoking cessation at least 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after surgery.
Body dysmorphic disorder or unrealistic expectationsWhen the motivation for surgery is due to a distortion of body image or expectations that anatomy cannot fulfill, no surgical technique will resolve the dissatisfaction. These cases require psychological evaluation before considering surgery.
Under 18 years old for aesthetic purposesBreast development must be complete. For breast augmentation for purely aesthetic purposes, the minimum age is 18 years.
Unstable body weight or significant planned changesSignificant weight gains or losses alter breast volume and position, compromising the medium-term result. We recommend stable weight for at least 6 months before surgery.
Planned short-term pregnancyAlthough not an absolute contraindication, we recommend completing maternity plans before augmentation, as subsequent pregnancy alters volume and skin elasticity and may compromise the aesthetic result.
Active autoimmune diseases (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma)Require individualized rheumatological evaluation. Although current scientific evidence does not establish a causal relationship between implants and systemic autoimmune disease, in patients with active pathology, surgery is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Recent breast surgery or unresolved previous complicationsPrevious surgery with active capsular contracture, unresolved infection, or inadequate healing must be stabilized before considering a new intervention.
Treatment with anticoagulants or antiplateletsNot an absolute contraindication, but requires adjustment or temporary suspension as directed by the responsible physician and coordinated with the surgical team.
Mammogram not performed in patients over 35–40 yearsIn all patients from that age, we require a recent mammogram before surgery. Cosmetic surgery should never be performed on an unexamined breast.

Risks and possible side effects of breast augmentation

One of the reasons breast augmentation remains, decade after decade, among the most performed plastic surgeries worldwide is precisely its well-established safety profile when performed with rigorous medical criteria. More than three decades of experience and participation in key moments of the evolution of international breast surgery endorse that when you come to Instituto de Benito, you are not just entering a clinic: you are entering a surgical school with recognized history in the sector. We work with implants with CE medical marking, in an approved operating room, and always with anesthesia and monitoring by a qualified anesthesiologist.

If after surgery you experience intense pain that does not subside with the prescribed analgesia, fever above 38 °C, marked local heat in one breast, progressive redness, wound discharge, sudden asymmetry, difficulty breathing, or chest pain, contact the clinic immediately or go to the nearest emergency service. Most serious complications are perfectly manageable if detected in time.

Expected and mild reactions (most self-limit within 7-10 days):

These are not complications; they are the normal response of the breast to surgery. They appear in the first few days and resolve with usual postoperative care:

  • Moderate pain and a feeling of pressure in the chest during the first 48–72 hours, controlled with the indicated analgesic regimen.
  • Swelling and breast edema during the first 2–3 weeks.
  • Mild bruising around the incision, which progressively resolves in 7–14 days.
  • Feeling of tightness, especially in submuscular implant placement, which improves as the muscle adapts.
  • Transient alterations in breast and nipple sensitivity (hyper or hyposensitivity), which in most cases normalize in 3–6 months.
  • Initially pink or erythematous scar, which matures and lightens up to 12–18 months postoperatively.
  • Temporary asymmetry between both breasts during the first weeks, while the implants settle and the edema decreases.

All these reactions are part of the normal recovery process. Most patients can resume sedentary life in a week, office work in 7–10 days, and impact sports from 6 weeks.

Less frequent effects:

There is a second group of incidents that, while not serious, may appear during the postoperative period or the first months and are worth knowing:

  • Seroma: accumulation of fluid around the implant. It usually resolves spontaneously or with evacuative puncture in consultation.
  • Significant hematoma requiring surgical drainage, in patients with more abundant postoperative bleeding than usual.
  • Hypertrophic or keloid scar, more common in patients with a personal or family predisposition to this type of scarring.
  • Persistent breast asymmetry once the result has settled, which may require minor surgical touch-up.
  • Rippling (visualization of implant folds through the skin), more common in very thin patients or those with little breast tissue coverage.
  • Prolonged loss of sensitivity in the nipple and areola, which in a minority of cases may not fully recover.
  • Implant malposition (lateral displacement, descent, or rotation in anatomical implants), which may require reoperation.
  • Delayed healing, especially in smokers, diabetics, or those with excessive skin tension.

Most of these situations are managed in consultation with close follow-up. Only a small proportion require reoperation.

Uncommon complications (preventable with rigorous medical practice):

These are serious complications, described in surgical literature with low incidences but that every well-informed patient should know before signing a consent:

  • Capsular contracture: the body always creates a fibrous capsule around the implant; in a minority of cases, this capsule thickens and hardens, altering the shape and feel of the breast. Modern surgical techniques, textured implants, and strict aseptic protocols have drastically reduced its incidence.
  • Periprosthetic infection, which can appear in the first few days or later. In the most severe cases, it requires temporary removal of the implant.
  • Implant rupture or wear over the long term. Modern implants do not have an "expiration date" but are not permanent devices; they may require replacement over the years.
  • Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism, a risk present in any surgery with general anesthesia and minimized with antithrombotic prophylaxis and early mobilization.
  • Reactions to general anesthesia, assessed and minimized by the anesthesiologist in the preoperative study.
  • Necrosis of the skin or nipple-areola complex, a rare complication mainly associated with excessive skin tension or active smoking.
  • BIA-ALCL (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma): a very rare condition historically linked to certain macro-textured implants. Patients are informed during consent and lifelong clinical follow-up is established.
  • Galactorrhea or changes in future lactation: most patients can breastfeed normally after breast augmentation, but there is a small percentage where lactation capacity may be affected.

Frequently asked questions about breast augmentation mammoplasty

How much do breast implants cost in Spain?

At Instituto de Benito, breast augmentation starts from €6,250. The final price depends on the implant type, surgical technique, operating time, required tests and postoperative follow-up. A personalised assessment is necessary to confirm the most appropriate plan and budget.

What is the 45-55 rule in breast aesthetics?

The 45-55 rule is an aesthetic reference sometimes used to describe breast proportion: approximately 45% of the breast volume is above the nipple and 55% below it. It is not a medical rule or a universal objective. The most appropriate proportion depends on anatomy, tissue quality and each patient’s expectations.

What results can I expect?

A proportionate, harmonious, and natural breast, adapted to your silhouette. The final result is seen between 3 and 6 months, when the tissue fully adapts.

Does breast augmentation hurt a lot?

The pain is usually mild or moderate and is well controlled with medication. Most patients resume their daily routine in about a week.

Can I breastfeed after surgery?

Yes, in most cases. Current techniques preserve the mammary gland and ducts, so they usually do not interfere with breastfeeding.

What risks does breast augmentation have?

Breast augmentation is a safe procedure when performed in specialized centers and by accredited surgeons, but like any surgery, it involves potential risks that must be clearly understood. At Instituto de Benito, safety is a priority, and all procedures are carried out under strict medical protocols and control, minimizing complications.

Most common risks (and generally mild)

  • Hematoma or bleeding: appearance of blood accumulation under the skin; usually resolves with drainage or compression.
  • Swelling and temporary discomfort: normal during the first few days; decreases progressively.
  • Sensitivity alterations: loss or hypersensitivity of the nipple or breast skin, almost always temporary.
  • Mild asymmetries: the body may present subtle differences in the healing process.
  • Seroma: accumulation of serous fluid that can be reabsorbed or easily drained.

Very rare risks

  • Postoperative infection: very uncommon thanks to aseptic measures and preventive antibiotics.
  • Opening of stitches or delayed healing: usually due to skin tension or poor wound handling.
  • Allergic reaction or intolerance to anesthesia or surgical materials.
  • Capsular contracture: the body creates a fibrous capsule around the implant; if it hardens, it may require revision or replacement.
  • Implant rupture or leakage: extremely rare in modern prostheses, but possible over time or due to trauma.

How long do implants last?

The latest generation implants can last more than 15-20 years. It is not necessary to replace them if they do not present complications or wear over time.

Are the implants noticeable to the touch?

No, the current ergonomic implants mimic the density and movement of natural breast tissue, offering a soft touch and a very realistic result.

When can I exercise or sunbathe?

Exercise is recommended from 4-6 weeks. Sun or beach exposure is advisable after 8 weeks, always with high sun protection.

What is the difference between natural augmentation and with prostheses?

Augmentation with one's own fat offers more subtle and natural results, while prostheses allow for greater volume, projection, and definition of the chest.

Can I combine this surgery with other treatments?

Yes, it can be combined with procedures such as mastopexy or liposuction, always after a personalized medical evaluation to ensure safety and results.

What happens if I lose or gain weight afterwards?

Moderate weight changes usually do not significantly affect the outcome. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve aesthetics in the long term.

How long does full recovery take?

Most patients resume their normal life in about 10 days, although the final result consolidates progressively during the first 3 months.

Can breast augmentation be financed at Instituto de Benito?

Yes, you can finance your breast augmentation with convenient payment options. There is the possibility of financing for 12 months without interest or up to 60 months according to conditions.
