A comprehensive guide for women considering breast augmentation surgery

Top funnel: when you are still researching and exploring your options

1. Ten situations in which women begin to think about breast augmentation

Women most often start thinking about breast augmentation when:

you feel that your breasts are "too small" compared with the rest of your body
you always use push-up padding in bras because you do not feel good without it
after childbirth and breastfeeding, your breasts have "deflated" and lost fullness
one breast is significantly larger than the other, which makes it difficult to choose clothes and bras
even when you are in good physical shape, you do not feel confident in swimwear
clothes on your upper body never fit the way you would like them to
your breasts have lost volume and shape after major weight loss
you want a more defined cleavage and a fuller upper breast pole
you have been thinking about surgery for a long time, but fear or lack of information has held you back
you want a subtle but clear feeling of greater femininity and a more balanced figure, without it being too obvious

If you recognise yourself in many of these points and they have been bothering you for a long time, not just occasionally, it makes sense to book a consultation with an aesthetic surgeon.

2. How breast size and shape affect self-image

Breasts are more than just a "cup size". They affect:

the sense of femininity
the relationship to nudity in front of a partner
confidence in clothes and swimwear
posture and the way a woman "carries" her body

3. Why breasts change with age

Even if you were happy with your breasts at one stage of life, they change over time:

pregnancy and breastfeeding cause stretching of the skin and changes in glandular tissue
fluctuations in body weight affect the amount of fat in the breasts
hormonal changes, such as ageing or menopause, affect tissue structure
loss of skin elasticity and gravity lead to laxity and "empty" breasts

Motiva® Preservé breast augmentation

women who want an increase of more than one cup size
those who want the smallest possible incision

5. How to choose the right size and shape

The surgeon takes into account your height, weight, chest width, skin elasticity, nipple position, aesthetic wishes, and lifestyle.

6. A common question: "Will I still be 'me' after surgery?"

Well-planned breast augmentation does not change your personality, but it does change how you feel in clothes, in intimacy, and in front of the mirror.

7. How visible will the scars be?

The most common incisions are: in the fold under the breast, around the lower areola, in the armpit.

8. How long does recovery take?

the first few days: tightness and pain managed with medication
7 to 10 days: most patients return to lighter work
3 to 6 weeks: gradual return to sport
3 to 6 months: the breasts settle and the result looks increasingly natural

9. How long do implants last?

Modern implants may last 15 to 20 years or longer.

Patient experience: "I finally have breasts that suit my body."

After two pregnancies and breastfeeding, I felt that my breasts no longer belonged to my body. At the consultation at Klinika Višnjar, I felt for the first time that someone was really listening to me. The first time I wore a dress without a bra and was happy with what I saw, I knew the decision had been the right one.
