01What is Preservé Breast Augmentation?
Preservé is a breast augmentation technique that puts a tissue-preserving approach first. While a space suited to the anatomy of the breast is created for the implant, the aim is to disturb the surrounding tissues as little as possible. The goal of the technique is to increase breast volume while protecting the integrity of the breast tissue and the surrounding anatomical structures, and to support recovery after surgery.
02Key features of the technique
- Breast tissue and nerve structures are preserved.
- The aim is a more natural feel and appearance.
- The goal is less pain and a more comfortable recovery.
- Long-term breast health is taken into account.
03Who is it suitable for?
- It is considered for people who feel their breast volume is insufficient and who prioritize tissue preservation.
- For people with sagging breasts, it may not be enough on its own and may need to be planned together with a breast lift.
- Suitability is determined at the consultation, taking into account the structure of the breast tissue, skin quality and your expectations.
04Recovery
- You are monitored for the first few hours after the procedure; discharge is usually planned for the same day.
- Mild tightness and swelling are to be expected in the first days.
- Most people can return to daily life within a few days; for sports and strenuous exercise, wait for the period set by your surgeon.
- Follow-up appointments are important for monitoring your recovery.
