Among the world's most sought-after aesthetic procedures, breast enhancement surgery allows you to achieve your desired breast appearance. At Image Regenerative Clinic, our primary goal is to achieve natural-looking results through advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art breast implants. The reasons for choosing this procedure are diverse: dissatisfaction with physical constitution, desire for aesthetic enhancement, post-pregnancy changes, effects of breastfeeding, or volume loss following significant weight loss. Whether through augmentation to enhance size and shape, or reduction to create more proportionate breasts by removing excess tissue and repositioning the nipple, breast surgery can provide renewed confidence and improved quality of life. Breast enhancement can offer renewed youthfulness to the breasts, address social integration concerns, and boost self-esteem. Reduction procedures can additionally alleviate physical discomfort caused by overly large breasts, improve posture, and enhance body contours. After treatment, patients often experience greater physical comfort and increased self-confidence.
Breast reduction surgery is suitable for individuals with disproportionately large breasts, pendulous and heavy breasts with downward-pointing areolas, back pain due to breast weight and shifted center of gravity. It is also indicated for patients at risk of breast cancer to radically reduce the amount of at-risk adipose tissue.
The procedure can be performed on individuals over 18 years of age.
The procedure requires 4 to 8 hours of stay in the clinic. The surgery itself lasts between 90 and 120 minutes. Local anesthesia with sedation, general anesthesia (rarely).
Post-operative visits are scheduled for the day after surgery and on the seventh day following the procedure.
Local anesthesia with sedation is used. Post-operative treatments such as Liposound (Cavitation) and Rexon-Age are recommended. Patients can typically return to social activities after 2 days.

"Placing the implant beneath the pectoral muscle is crucial for achieving a natural long-term result. In my opinion, the use of stem cell lipofilling is currently advisable only for touch-ups or to improve capsular contracture. Sagging breasts cannot be corrected with an implant alone but require a mastopexy procedure first."
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts. This procedure addresses not only aesthetic concerns but also alleviates physical discomfort associated with disproportionately large breasts, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain. The procedure involves careful removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, reshaping the remaining tissue for a lifted and proportionate appearance. In cases of extremely large breasts, the faster and less invasive Thorek technique may be recommended.
Breast implants are available in various forms: anatomical teardrop or round, with smooth or textured outer surfaces. Silicone, now available in a special cohesive gel enclosed in a solid shell, ensures maximum safety even in case of trauma-induced rupture. The innovative Lipogems® protocol is particularly effective in the mixed technique, combining implants and adipose tissue for natural results, especially in complex cases such as tuberous breasts and significant asymmetries. This approach also helps improve texture, stretch marks, and tone, and is particularly recommended for patients over 40.
Implants can be placed under the gland, muscle fascia, or pectoral muscle, with various access points: periareolar, transareolar, inframammary, or axillary. The Dual Plane technique, which involves covering the implants with the pectoral muscle above and mammary gland below, is frequently used. During the preoperative consultation, the patient and surgeon agree on breast shape, volume, height, and projection, ensuring the fulfillment of personal desires while maintaining natural and harmonious results.
Hospitalization typically requires only a few hours, and patients can return home without drains. A brief rest period is recommended, varying according to the patient's previous conditions, and sports activities can be resumed after approximately three weeks. Results are visible immediately, but the final effect is appreciated after three weeks. A supportive elastic band helps settlement and preserves ideal shape and position.
Sutures are individually planned, combining absorbable and non-absorbable threads. Scarring represents a significant variable, depending not only on surgical expertise but also on genetic predisposition, skin elasticity, age, and potential allergies. The Lipogems® technique can be particularly helpful in scar management.
Regarding revision surgeries of previous mammoplasties, recent techniques allow replacement of older implants with processed autologous fat tissue using the Lipogems® system. In severe reduction cases requiring removal of more than one kilogram of tissue or in the presence of orthopedic indications, the procedure might be covered by public health services.
