Breast correction
Dr. med. Thomas Biesgen
Plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery in Zurich.
The decision for a breast correction
Every woman has her own story and reasons for wanting a breast augmentation. Often it is for aesthetic reasons. If there are hardly any breasts or after a pregnancy.
Breast implants can be placed directly behind the breast tissue or under the pectoral muscle to improve the size and shape of the breast. Breast augmentation can achieve the following goals:
- Enlargement and fullness of the breast
- Correction of asymmetrical breasts
- Restoring the body shape after a mastectomy
- Improve your self-confidence
A fuller and more voluptuous breast can be achieved with breast augmentation. In the case of sagging breasts, a combined breast lift and augmentation should be discussed.
During the consultation, Dr. Biesgen will fully inform you about your questions regarding breast augmentation, the procedure, possible complications and feasibility. He works with the latest generation of silicone implants from the world's leading manufacturers.
