While package prices are often comprehensive, you should budget for potential additional expenses such as flights, travel insurance, daily living costs (food and transport), post-operative medications, and any optional tours or activities.
The process typically involves a simple online application. Once you provide your information, a credit check is performed. If approved, the funds are arranged directly with the clinic, allowing you to proceed with your treatment without paying the full amount upfront. You then repay the loan in manageable monthly installments.
The surgery itself is relatively quick, typically taking around 1 to 2 hours to complete under general anesthesia.
Usually, an overnight stay in the hospital is not required. Breast augmentation is often performed as an outpatient procedure, and you can return to your hotel the same day.
You should plan to stay in the destination country for approximately 5 to 7 days. This allows for a pre-operative consultation, the surgery, and at least one post-operative check-up before you are cleared to fly home.
You can typically return to work and light daily activities within 5 to 7 days. More strenuous physical exercise should be avoided for at least 2 to 3 weeks. Your surgeon will provide a special medical bra and a detailed set of post-operative instructions that you must follow carefully.
Most patients can gradually return to sports and more vigorous exercise around 2 to 3 weeks after their surgery, but you must get final clearance from your surgeon.
For at least 10 days before surgery, you should avoid taking any medications containing aspirin, ibuprofen, anti-inflammatories, and vitamin E, as they can increase bleeding. You must stop smoking at least two weeks before and after surgery, and avoid alcohol for at least one week before and after.
Yes, any surgery will leave a scar. However, surgeons make incisions in discreet locations, such as the fold under the breast (inframammary), to minimize their visibility. These scars fade significantly over a few months but will not disappear completely.
It is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few weeks. You may also feel nausea from the anesthesia. Your surgeon will prescribe painkillers to help manage any pain during your initial recovery.
Breast implant surgery has a very high success rate, typically around 98%, with high levels of patient satisfaction.
While rare, with a complication rate of around 2%, risks can include capsular contracture (scar tissue tightening around the implant), implant rupture, difficulty breastfeeding, and breast ptosis (sagging) over time.
Many women report experiencing higher self-esteem, feeling more attractive, an increase in libido, and a general improvement in their overall quality of life after breast implant surgery.
These implants are filled with a soft, cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. They are pre-filled and require a slightly larger incision but are less likely to show rippling.
Also known as highly cohesive silicone gel implants, these are firmer than traditional silicone implants and hold their shape better. They offer excellent long-term performance with lower rates of rupture and capsular contracture and are available in both round and teardrop (anatomic) shapes.
These implants have a silicone shell that is filled with sterile saltwater (saline) after being placed in the breast. This allows for a smaller incision. If a saline implant ruptures, the body safely absorbs the saltwater.
The primary difference is the filling material. Silicone implants feel more like natural breast tissue, while saline implants are firmer. A rupture in a silicone implant is harder to detect ("silent rupture"), whereas a saline implant rupture is immediately noticeable as the breast deflates.
