Are you considering breast augmentation? AIVA in Berlin stands for excellent plastic and aesthetic surgery, intensive medical expertise and advanced methods in breast enhancement. We would be happy to show you some before and after pictures on request.
We have been specialising in breast enlargement and other procedures such as breast lifts and breast reductions for many years. For us, breast enhancement is more than a mere ‘boob job’, because it helps our clients gain confidence and quality of life. Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently requested surgeries at AIVA in Berlin.
Modern, high-quality silicone implants, such as those used for breast augmentation at AIVA in Berlin, do not need to be replaced after a certain period of time and usually last a lifetime. Only serious complications such as capsular fibrosis – where the body treats the implant as a foreign body – may require removal or replacement. To ensure the integrity of the implant, we recommend annual ultrasound scans after ten years.
The weight of a conventional breast implant in grams is about the same as its volume in millimetres. So a 300 millilitre implant weighs approximately 300 grams. If you need a particularly large implant, you can choose so-called B-Lite implants, which are 30 per cent lighter. We only use these implants for specific purposes. We will be happy to inform you about the exact differences, costs and suitability.
It is difficult to make a general statement about the cost of breast enhancement. At AIVA in Berlin, you can expect to pay from around €7,000 – prices vary depending on the method chosen, the type of implant and the complexity of the procedure. You will receive a binding offer from us after the preliminary examination. Unfortunately, health insurance only covers and subsidises the procedure in rare exceptional cases. Ask your health insurance company for advice on this.
The minimum age for breast surgery is 18. Ideally, you should wait until you are 20, when your body and breast growth are considered to be complete. In principle, breast augmentation at our clinic in Berlin is possible at any age from the age of legal majority.
Lipofilling uses very fine needles and minimal incisions, which usually heal completely. Breast implants are inserted through a 4-5 cm incision, usually in the inframammary crease. Thanks to precise surgical techniques, our specialists’ years of experience and careful aftercare, the scars are barely visible after the healing period.
Depending on whether the breast augmentation procedure is performed with autologous fat or with implants (and their position), the operation takes between one and two hours. As mentioned above, it is carried out either under general anaesthetic (implants) or under local anaesthesia or twilight sedation (lipofilling).
After breast augmentation at our institute in Berlin, you should avoid physical exertion for at least four to six weeks until the wound has healed. You can then resume your usual sporting activities.
Yes, once the healing process is complete, you can breastfeed without restriction even after breast augmentation at AIVA in Berlin. It does not matter which type of breast surgery you have opted for. Whether lipofilling or silicone breast implants, teardrop-shaped or round, above or below the breast muscle: the function of the mammary glands is usually not affected in any way.
Our aim is for you to feel comfortable in your body in the long term. That's why we put so much emphasis on intensive counselling so that you feel confident in your decision. At the same time, we understand that life circumstances and personal tastes can change over time. So if you decide at some point that you would like to have your breast implants removed, this is usually no problem at all. However, for an aesthetically pleasing result, it may be advisable to combine the removal with a breast lift to compensate for the stretching of the tissue caused by the implants.
By the way: We can also help you if you want to have the size of your natural breasts reduced.
