Breast augmentation for self-confidence

There are different ideals for a beautiful breast, just as there are different breast shapes and sizes. Many women are dissatisfied with a breast that is too small for aesthetic reasons. The best result for a well-shaped female breast is achieved by breast augmentation with implants.
Our comprehensive treatment concept combines innovative technologies with proven methods.

Breast augmentation procedure

Breast augmentation surgery combines anesthesia (twilight sleep or general anesthesia) and surgical precision to achieve the desired aesthetic result.

The incision and placement of the implant play a crucial role in maintaining the natural appearance and fulfilling the patient’s individual wishes. The whole process is a deliberate act of art combined with advanced medicine aimed at improving self-confidence and attitude towards life

Anesthesia and duration of surgery
The choice of anesthesia can affect the duration of the operation. While general anesthesia assures you of complete freedom from pain throughout the procedure, it can also cause the surgery time to be extended. The best type of anesthesia for your breast augmentation depends on several factors, including your health history, your pain tolerance, and, of course, your personal preference. It is important to discuss this point in detail in your preliminary interview.
Incision and implant placement
The incision and implant placement in breast augmentation are crucial for the appearance and recovery time. They affect scarring, comfort and the natural look of the breast. Discuss these aspects in detail during your consultation in Cham.

High-quality silicone implants: Drop-shaped or round forms

Choosing the right type of implant is important for a good breast augmentation result. There are round and teardrop-shaped implants that look like the natural breast. There is no limit to the size of the breast. If necessary, special implants can be used for very large breasts. Patients can try out different implants in different sizes in their bra to get their bearings.

Before breast augmentation

The control of medical conditions is of central importance for a successful breastaugmentation. It is important to recognize risks and personal circumstances in order to ensure a safe surgical procedure. A detailed consultation is very important before breast augmentation. All the steps will be explained to you and you can discuss your questions and concerns directly with the doctor.

Why was the form given to me?
We ask all patients receiving outpatient or inpatient hospital treatment in Switzerland to complete a consent form for the "Further use of health-related data and samples for research purposes" - often referred to as a general consent form. For children under the age of 14, parents give their consent, while adolescents aged 14 and over can decide for themselves whether to participate. Please note that your decision whether or not to consent has no influence on the quality of your medical treatment and care in our hospital. It is important to us that you make a conscious decision and that this is documented.
What does consent mean for me?
During an outpatient or inpatient hospital stay, samples (urine, blood, tissue) are taken for diagnostic or treatment purposes. These are normally disposed of in the laboratory after analysis. If the consent form is signed with "Yes", The remaining samples and relevant medical data (such as age and examination results) are released for medical research projects within our hospital. This enables our researchers to gain important insights that can contribute to improving diagnosis and treatment methods. Please grant our hospital permission to use both existing and future data and samples for medical research projects. This regulation applies equally to your medical data and samples taken. Allows us to share data and samples for collaborations with other institutions - including other hospitals, universities and pharmaceutical companies - while always adhering to the strictest data protection standards.
How is data protection guaranteed?
Data protection is a top priority for us. Data is treated in strict confidence in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Act. Only authorized persons are permitted to view them. These persons are either involved in your treatment or the ethics committee has given them permission to do so (e.g. study physicians, study coordinators). The data will also be encrypted. Encryption means that so-called encryption codes are used instead of personal details (surname, first name, date of birth or AHV number). These are numbers and/or letters (e.g. als850 or ZG0002, etc.). This means that nobody can trace your personal details.
How can I withdraw my consent?
Your consent is voluntary and can be revoked at any time without giving reasons. To do so, we simply require a newly completed form with the new decision.

After the treatment (breast augmentation)

Pain can occur after breast augmentation, but this can be easily treated with painkillers. Our team will give you painkillers and clear care instructions. Recovery time varies, but you will need to rest and wear a support bra. You can gradually return to normal activities and we will guide you to minimize the risk of complications.
Pain after breast augmentation
The sensation of pain after breast augmentation is individual. The degree of swelling, bruising and pain varies greatly. A feeling of tension after breast augmentation is one of the regular side effects. The pain depends on the choice of surgical technique and the surgical approach. The patient's physical condition is another factor. In most cases, the pain is perceived as a strong feeling of pressure and tension, comparable to severe muscle soreness. A preventive medication against the pain for a few days after the operation is common. The first days and weeks after the operation are crucial for the final result. The patient can do a lot to help the new breast take the desired shape.
Pain management and care instructions
Postoperative pain may occur after breast augmentation. The key is to routinely take the prescribed painkillers, followed by a gentle massage to reduce swelling and promote circulation. An important aspect of post-surgery care is cleanliness; careful cleaning prevents infections. You should also wear comfortable, supportive bras that support the healing process and provide comfort.
Wearing a support bra
A support bra is crucial after breast augmentation. It holds the implants in place, reduces complications and promotes healing. Choose a tight-fitting bra that provides good support for the implants. Medical professionals will help with the selection. Wear the support bra for at least six weeks. After that, in consultation with the doctor, you can switch to a normal bra, but the support function remains important.
Return to normal activity
After one week you can return to your normal daily routine. Sports activities are permitted again after 6 weeks. It is important that the healing process is guaranteed, especially in the first week, and that you are relieved accordingly.

Costs for a breast enlargement

The cost of breast augmentation with implant is discussed in detail with the patient. They are made up of various factors such as surgery, anesthesia, hospitalization, implants, and aftercare. Additional costs may apply for medication or special bras (sports bra and breast girdle).

As a rule, health insurance does not cover the cost of breast augmentation, as it is an aesthetic procedure. However, there are exceptions in which the costs are partially or fully covered by health insurance, e.g. in the case of congenital malformations or after a mastectomy.
