LONG-LASTING RESULTS WITH BREAST AUGMENTATION
The Acura Clinic works with the Mentor brand of permanent implants and the durability of the implants affects the result that is achieved. Implants usually need to be replaced after a few years and the durability depends on the type and nature of the implants used. Implants filled with saline solution are usually replaced after 7 to 12 years. The modern Mentor implants, which are filled with a cohesive silicone gel, wear out much less quickly and often last more than 20 years. Leaks or cracks in the implants are rare and are often the result of a manufacturing error, a road accident and/or another incident. It is advisable to have the implants checked regularly. The check-ups have an influence on the durability and are highly advisable.
Other factors that influence the implants are

BREAST AUGMENTATION RESULTS - FAQ
There are a number of frequently asked questions about the results of breast augmentation. Of course, you can also ask us these questions by e-mail or telephone. However, we think it makes sense to answer a number of questions in this way.
1 How long does a breast augmentation take?
Breast augmentation with implants is performed under general anaesthetic and takes 1 to 1.5 hours. Treatment with autologous fat, liposuction and lipofilling is performed under local anaesthetic and the procedure takes 2 to 4 hours.
2 Is breast augmentation safe?
Every surgical or surgical procedure involves risks and breast augmentation is no different. Normal surgical risks include post-operative bleeding, infection, poor wound healing and scarring. Capsular contracture can occur after breast augmentation with implants. Your body forms too much connective tissue, which can cause pain and an unnatural shape. The breasts feel harder and do not look attractive. However, serious complications are rare.
3. is post-operative pain normal?
The experience of pain is personal, everyone experiences pain in their own way. Post-operative pain can occur after breast augmentation. You can combat this with a painkiller and the pain should subside within a few days.
4 What do I have to look out for after the operation?
If you are unable to drive yourself home, make sure that someone picks you up and takes you home. Driving is not recommended for the first two weeks after breast augmentation. After the operation, you will wear a sports bra day and night for the first few weeks. Heavy physical exertion such as sport or hard labour is not recommended for the first 6 weeks. The doctor will discuss the recovery period with you before the operation.
5. is the result immediately visible?
After breast augmentation, your breasts will be fuller and larger than before. Swelling may occur as a result of the procedure, which will subside on its own. The final result is optimal and visible two to three months after the operation.
6. are the results permanent?
In general, the results are permanent. However, the shape of your breasts can change over time. Factors such as ageing, significant weight fluctuations and pregnancy can influence this. It is possible to have the implants replaced after some time.
7. can I determine my new cup size myself?
During the consultation with the cosmetic doctor, your wishes and expectations will be discussed. Your physique, the existing glandular tissue and the structure of your skin will be taken into account. This will determine what is possible and a personalised treatment plan will be proposed.
8 What are the risks of breast augmentation?
A surgical procedure harbours certain risks. Breast augmentation with implants can lead to bleeding or infection and sometimes the result can be asymmetrical. The changes in sensation are usually temporary. Depending on your body's ability to recover, capsular contracture may occur. In severe cases of capsular contracture, the implants must be removed.
9 What is a capsular contracture?
After the operation, a membrane, the capsule, forms around the implants. It is a natural reaction of the body to an unknown material that is inserted into the body. The formation is normal and should not be confused with the complications of capsular contracture. In the case of complications, a second surgical procedure is required, which is not the case with a normal capsular contracture.
10. does the feeling in my breasts change after breast augmentation?
Both breasts and nipples may be less or differently sensitive than normal after the procedure. This is usually temporary. Normal sensation returns within a few weeks to months.
11 Which implants should I choose?
Before breast augmentation, you will have a consultation with a cosmetic doctor. The pros and cons of the procedure will be explained and the different implants will be shown and compared. The implants that you like best or that give the best result are different for each person. Depending on how much breast tissue you have and what you expect from the procedure, you can opt for round or teardrop-shaped implants.
12. do the implants have to be replaced regularly?
The latest generation of breast implants last for a very long time or even a lifetime. Even after breast augmentation, the breasts can become saggy and change shape due to various factors. This can happen more quickly in some women than in others. Doctors recommend checking implants every 10 to 15 years and replacing them if necessary.
13. are the scars from breast augmentation noticeable?
The surgical technique will be discussed with you during the consultation. The doctor will show you where the incisions will be made. These are made in the skin fold or in the armpit, both places where the scars are barely noticeable. Shortly after the operation, the scars will be red and the scar tissue will need time to recover. After about a year, the scars are almost no longer visible.
14. are silicone breast implants safe?
Yes, research has shown that silicone implants are safe. The Acura Clinic uses Mentor implants, which are of high quality and safe. You can see and touch them during the consultation.
15 How long should I wear a sports bra?
You will wear the sports bra day and night for the first few weeks after breast augmentation.

To aid recovery, you will wear the sports bra for a total of 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the situation.
16. can I return to work immediately?
Most activities can be resumed approximately two weeks after breast augmentation. When you can return to work depends on the type of work. Light work can be resumed after two weeks, while physically demanding activities such as lifting and bending will require a longer waiting period. The doctor can indicate when you are fully fit to return to work.
17. can I exercise after breast augmentation?
No, you should take it easy for a few weeks. You can go for a walk or cycle, but avoid intensive sport, swimming or strenuous exercise for at least 6 weeks after breast augmentation.
18 Can I still breastfeed after the operation?

In some cases, a correction may be desirable.
19. do I have to come for a follow-up examination?
The stitches can be dissolved and you do not need to come to the clinic to have them removed. A few weeks after the procedure, you will make an appointment with the doctor for a check-up.
20 What should I do if I suffer from side effects after breast augmentation?
Surgical procedures are always associated with a certain level of risk. If you have a high temperature, persistent post-operative pain or poor wound healing, please contact the clinic. An appointment can be made during the consultation and treatment, such as a course of antibiotics, can be suggested.
21 Is a mammogram possible after breast augmentation?
Yes, you can also have a mammogram after a breast augmentation. Please inform the radiologist in advance about your breast augmentation so that he or she can take this into account during the examination.
22 What if the result is not satisfactory, can the procedure be cancelled?
Most women are satisfied with the final result and the appearance of their breasts. If the result is not what you expected, but also if you would like to have the implants enlarged for another reason, this is possible. The implants can be removed through a surgical procedure.
