Breast augmentation methods
Breast augmentation with autologous fat
This natural method involves removing excess fat tissue from other areas of the body, processing it, and injecting it into the breast. Breast augmentation with autologous fat is suitable for slight increases in volume and achieves particularly natural results.
Breast augmentation with Mia Femtech™
This minimally invasive method is performed through a small incision in the armpit. The specially developed Mia® implant is inserted precisely under endoscopic control. The advantages include no visible scars on the breast and a particularly short recovery time.
Breast augmentation with Motiva Preservé™
This is an implant system with a particularly soft feel and innovative technology that is inserted through a small incision. Motiva Preservé️™ impresses with its flexibility, dimensional stability, and safety.
Breast augmentation procedure
Consultation
During a detailed consultation, we will discuss your wishes and work with you to determine which method is the best option for you. The implant check is an integral part of our care concept in case an implant replacement or follow-up examination is already necessary.
Precautions
We recommend that you stop taking blood-thinning medication before the treatment. We will explain exactly how to prepare for the procedure and what you need to bear in mind.
Treatment
We usually perform breast augmentation on an outpatient basis under light general anesthesia. Depending on the individual situation, we make a small incision in the breast fold, at the edge of the nipple, or in the armpit—particularly inconspicuous with the so-called “invisible scar technique.”
We place the implant either above or below the chest muscle. The most suitable method is discussed individually with each patient. In some cases, breast augmentation can be combined with autologous fat transfer (known as hybrid breast augmentation) to achieve particularly harmonious and natural results.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat is an alternative. In this procedure, we remove fat from the patient’s own body—for example, from the abdomen or thighs—and transfer it to the breast after special preparation. This method is particularly suitable for women who want a moderate increase in volume with a very natural feel.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you will be given a special sports bra to wear for the next 6 weeks. Most of our patients are able to return to work 7–14 days after the operation. However, you should wait 4–6 weeks after the procedure before engaging in sports activities and strenuous physical activity.
Costs of breast augmentation in Zurich
The cost of breast augmentation in Zurich depends on the complexity of the procedure and the surgical technique chosen. Prices generally start at CHF 12,000. We will draw up a personalized cost estimate for you during your consultation. Please note that the costs are not usually covered by health insurance, as this is a cosmetic procedure.
Frequently asked questions about breast augmentation
Which is better: implants or autologous fat?
The best method depends on your expectations and anatomical conditions. Both procedures have advantages, which we will be happy to discuss with you individually.
How long do implants last?
Modern breast implants are very durable, which is why many manufacturers offer a lifetime guarantee on their products. In some special cases, however, it is advisable or necessary to replace them. We recommend regular implant checks at the practice.
How visible are the scars?
The incisions are made in such a way that they heal as inconspicuously as possible, e.g., in the breast fold or armpit.
What is an implant check?
The implant check is a service offered by clinic utoquai, where we check existing implants for fit, condition, and shape.
When can I resume exercising?
You can usually resume exercising after about 1–3 weeks. Light exercise is often possible much earlier.
