What is Breast Augmentation with Implants?
Definition of Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation with implants (medically referred to as breast augmentation) is a well-established surgical procedure that increases the volume of the breast using implants and aesthetically optimizes its shape. The goal is always to achieve a beautiful result that harmoniously enhances your body silhouette and feels as if it has always been a part of you.
A harmonious body image is essential for well-being and strong self-confidence. If you have long desired a fuller, beautifully shaped breast that perfectly fits your proportions, you are in the best hands at SA Aesthetics in Berlin.
The experienced plastic surgeon T. Stavrakis, M.D. and his dedicated team will guide you with empathy, discretion, and the highest medical expertise on your journey to your personal desired result. We understand that the decision to undergo surgery is a matter of trust. Therefore, your individual wishes and your safety are our top priorities.
Good Reasons for Breast Augmentation
The motivations for this step are as individual as the women themselves. Many patients choose breast augmentation to finally feel completely comfortable and feminine in their own bodies. The most common reasons include the simple desire for more volume – for example, a classic breast augmentation from A to C – congenital breast asymmetries, or age-related volume loss. Physical changes after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss also lead many women to wish to regain their original breast shape.
Difference Between Implants and Alternative Methods
In addition to classic and state-of-the-art breast implants, other methods are also discussed and performed in aesthetic medicine. There is the option of breast augmentation without silicone through the transfer of autologous fat. Breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid is rarely recommended nowadays due to its short durability and potential risks in cancer screening. For some women, a hybrid breast augmentation, which combines implants and autologous fat to create particularly soft transitions, may be of interest.
Nevertheless, modern breast implants offer the unbeatable advantage of being able to plan the desired volume very precisely, reliably, and above all, permanently.

Breast implants differ not only in size but also in shape and projection. Depending on anatomy and desired outcomes, the choice of implant shape can significantly influence the final appearance.
In this video, Chief Physician Themistoklis Stavrakis, M.D., a specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, explains the differences between various implant shapes and what to consider when selecting an implant.
Explaining Different Implant Surfaces

Did you know that breast implants are available in different surface textures—and that this choice can affect your results in the long term? Themistoklis Stavrakis, MD – a specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery – explains the differences between smooth, micro-textured, and polyurethane-coated implant surfaces and why we select the appropriate surface for each patient individually.
Implant Position – Where is the Implant Placed?
To achieve a result that not only looks beautiful but also feels natural, the position of the implant plays a crucial role.
The Classic Positions
Implant above the breast muscle (subglandular): The implant is placed directly beneath the breast tissue.
Incision placement for breast augmentation
Breast augmentation can be performed through various small incisions:
- Inframammary fold / "Mini Scar" technique: A small incision in the natural fold under the breast.
- Nipple-areola complex (periareolar): Access at the lower edge of the nipple-areola complex.
- Armpit (transaxillary): Access is discreetly made through the armpit.
Our recommendation for optimal access
Based on the extensive experience of our surgeon T. Stavrakis, M.D., we generally prefer the inframammary access for breast augmentation, combined with dual-plane placement.
This gentle access allows for the most precise positioning of the implant under direct visual control. The fine scar later becomes nearly invisible in the natural skin fold under the breast. From our perspective, this leads to the most beautiful and long-lasting results.
Who is a good candidate for breast augmentation with implants?
Breast augmentation is generally suitable for healthy women who have completed the natural growth of their breasts and desire a permanent change. The procedure is particularly valuable for:
- Correcting congenital breast asymmetries (uneven breasts).
- Compensating for volume loss (e.g., "empty" breasts after breastfeeding).
- Restoring the female silhouette after significant weight changes.
It is important to us that you undergo the procedure for yourself and have realistic expectations about what is achievable. We will advise you completely honestly on this.
Your Breast Augmentation Journey at SA Aesthetics
Initial Consultation and Individual Planning
Everything begins with a comprehensive, no-obligation consultation at our practice in Berlin. We take the time to listen to your wishes, answer all your questions, and address any concerns you may have. Following a thorough examination, we develop a personalized treatment plan that clearly outlines the recommended procedure as well as all associated costs in a transparent and easy-to-understand manner.
Exclusive at SA Aesthetics: Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation
We have refined every step of the surgical process to make your breast augmentation as gentle and comfortable as possible. To achieve this, we have developed our innovative Rapid Recovery concept, designed to promote a faster and more comfortable recovery after breast implant surgery. Your benefits from our specialized approach:
We avoid the routine use of surgical drains, making your recovery more comfortable after surgery.
The implant is inserted using a special funnel without touching the skin. This drastically minimizes the risk of infection and the risk of later capsule fibrosis.
With the funnel technique, a tiny skin incision of about 2-2.5 cm is sufficient.
We also locally numb the entire breast muscle during the surgery. Our patients report significantly less muscular pain upon waking.
The Rapid Recovery breast augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis. This means that about 2 hours after the surgery, you can safely go home with a companion and recover in your familiar surroundings.

Healing and Recovery Phase
01
First Days After Breast Augmentation
In the first few days, a slight feeling of discomfort and tension (similar to a strong muscle ache) or mild swelling is completely normal. However, thanks to our Rapid Recovery concept, you will quickly be fit and ready to socialize again.
02
When Can You Resume Sports and Daily Activities?
You can usually resume light daily activities within just a few days. Office-based work is often possible again after approximately one week. However, you should avoid strenuous physical activity, particularly upper-body exercise, for around six weeks to allow the implants to heal securely into the surrounding tissue. We will closely monitor your healing and scar development during regular follow-up appointments, and our team is always available to answer any questions you may have.
Risks and Safety Information
No surgical procedure is entirely without risk. At SA Aesthetics, we believe in providing honest, transparent, and comprehensive information before every treatment. During your personal consultation, we will discuss potential risks such as bleeding, infection, and capsular contracture in detail, ensuring that you are fully informed before making your decision.
Thanks to modern surgical techniques, meticulous planning, and extensive experience in breast implant surgery, we strive to minimize these risks as much as possible while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes, asymmetries can be effectively corrected by using implants of different sizes or shapes to create a natural, harmonious overall appearance.
Generally, yes. Since we prefer to operate through the inframammary fold and place the implants under the muscle, the milk ducts and breast tissue remain completely intact.
To avoid this, we often use lightweight B-Lite implants for very athletic patients. These provide long-term relief to the tissue during training.
Light activity can be resumed quickly. However, you should pause for about 6 weeks from real sports, especially upper body training, to allow the implants to integrate safely.
No, there is no upper age limit. The only requirement is that you are of legal age, that natural breast growth is complete, and that your health condition allows for surgery.
Yes. Often, the implant is combined with special internal shaping techniques at the breast tissue to achieve a beautiful, harmoniously rounded shape.
Yes. A breast augmentation is often combined with a breast lift (for example, after weight loss or pregnancies as part of a "Mommy Makeover").
Generally not. Modern premium implants do not have a specific expiration date when properly cared for.
With the No-Touch technique, we insert the implant using a sterile funnel. This prevents the implant from coming into contact with the skin, significantly reducing the risk of infections or capsular contracture.
Thanks to our Mini-Scar technique at SA Aesthetics and the use of the funnel, we only need a tiny incision of a few centimeters. The fine scar later becomes almost invisible in the breast fold.
