Breast Augmentation
We understand that choosing breast augmentation is an important decision. At COLSURGERIES, we provide support with care and professionalism, offering natural results that make you feel confident and happy with your body.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, is an aesthetic surgical procedure that seeks to increase the volume and improve the shape of the bust through breast implants or, in some cases, autologous fat from the body itself (lipofilling).
It is one of the most requested surgeries internationally by women who wish to enhance their figure, balance their silhouette, or recover volume lost after pregnancies, lactation, or weight loss.
How is it performed?
It is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia, with an approximate duration of 1 to 2 hours. The surgeon makes an incision that can be located in:
The inframammary fold
(under the breast)
Around the areola
(periareolar)
In the
armpit
(less common)
Next, the breast implant is inserted, which can be placed under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) or under the mammary gland (subglandular), depending on your anatomy and the desired outcome.
At COLSURGERIES, we work exclusively with FDA or CE-approved implants and certified surgeons to ensure safe, natural, and long-lasting results.
Breast Augmentation - Recovery
Recovery is typically progressive. It is normal to experience swelling and sensitivity during the first few days. Most patients can resume light activities between 7 and 14 days, avoiding intense exercise for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
The results are noticeable from the very beginning, but they become consolidated between 8 and 12 weeks, when the swelling subsides and the implant naturally adapts to the body.
At COLSURGERIES, we support you through every phase, providing follow-up during your stay in Colombia and virtual assistance upon your return, to ensure a safe evolution and harmonious aesthetic results.
