Breast implants in Tunisia

In a world where aesthetics are increasingly important, many people turn to cosmetic surgery to correct imperfections or shortcomings. This is particularly true of women, and one of the most popular types of surgery is breast augmentation.

There are several reasons why this country is an attractive destination for medical tourism, starting with the prices. Discover our complete guide to breast augmentation in Tunisia.

Breast augmentation: a well-known operation

Breast augmentation is the second most popular type of cosmetic surgery in the world after liposuction. In fact, no less than 17% of cosmetic operations involve increasing the volume of the breasts. This underlines the importance of the aesthetic aspect of the female breast in today’s society.

As its name suggests, the aim of this operation is to reshape the breasts, mainly by increasing their volume using breast implants. Today, breast augmentation is increasingly well controlled, and is no longer a risky operation. The breast implants used are also increasingly sophisticated, providing anatomically and aesthetically satisfactory results for the patient.

Are there any dangers in breast augmentation?

Given the success rate, breast augmentation is not an operation to be feared today. It’s safe surgery, provided you go to a good clinic with competent surgeons. However, as with any type of surgery, there are certain risks, although these are rare:

• Bleeding
• Benign or serious infection
• Changes in breast sensitivity.

How is breast augmentation carried out in Tunisia?

There are several stages to the operation, all of which must be followed to ensure a successful outcome and the quickest possible recovery. Everything begins with a pre-operative consultation.

The pre-operative consultation

Before the operation, it is essential to have an initial meeting with the doctor. There are many reasons for this consultation, starting with checking that there are no contraindications to breast augmentation. Here are the contraindications to this type of operation:

• History of phlebitis or pulmonary embolism
• Excessive smoking. This contraindication can easily be avoided by giving up smoking at least one month before the operation.
• Pregnancy and breast-feeding
• Tissue insufficiency
• Obesity

During the consultation, the surgeon will also analyse your physical characteristics, such as your height, weight, musculature, fat distribution and thoracic and breast morphology. It is during this consultation that you will state your wishes, and the type of breasts you would like to obtain.

In return, the doctor will tell you how the operation will be carried out and the results that can be achieved. You will also be informed about the recovery period.

Breast augmentation procedure

Breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthetic. Depending on the circumstances, the surgery may last between 50 minutes and an hour and a half. Support stockings are placed on the patient to avoid any risk of phlebitis. To better control the symmetry and repositioning of the breasts, the surgeon places patients in a semi-seated position.

The surgery can then be performed using several techniques. Incisions are made to insert the silicone implant into each breast. The incisions may be made in the submammary fold, on the areolas, under the pectoral muscle or between this muscle and the mammary gland. The surgeon can only carry out one of these techniques with your consent, as you will have discussed it during the initial consultation.

Breast implants

There are two types of breast implant that can be used during this surgery. The first is the silicone gel-filled implant, which is the most commonly used. The silicone implant gives an aesthetic appearance, as well as a natural feel to the breast.

The other category is the physiological water-filled implant, which gives a less natural appearance, but allows significant breast augmentation, with substantial volume and firm breasts.

Post-operative care

After the implants have been inserted, the incisions are sutured, and a drain may be placed for the next 24 hours to drain off any fluid. The surgeon prescribes painkillers for a period of 15 to 20 days. The result is not immediately visible, as you will have to wear a bra-shaped dressing, supported by elastic bands, during your convalescence.

After breast augmentation, you will also have to take a leave of absence from work for at least 2 weeks, as well as stopping all sporting activities for 2 months. You will need to have quarterly check-ups by a surgeon, in order to achieve the final result after a year.

There is also the possibility of repeat surgery if you are not entirely satisfied with the change, or if complications arise (which happens quite rarely).
