Date de publication : 16/07/2021

A voluptuous chest is a symbol of femininity since the dawn of time. It is therefore not surprising that breast augmentation is among the top 5 most requested cosmetic surgery operations in Tunisia. And it is no surprise as breast surgery in Tunisia makes it possible to increase the volume of the breast in order to offer to the patients the so desired curve. However, even though this surgery is increasingly popular, the details are still unknown. Medicalys therefore suggests to answer the most frequently asked questions about breast augmentation in Tunisia. 

Breast augmentation in Tunisia: the most frequently asked questions

Best ally of women in search of breast volume, breast augmentation in Tunisia remains however, for many women, a mystery in many aspects. The general questions about it are therefore numerous and prevent some candidates for breast augmentation in Tunisia to take the plunge. Medicalys therefore offers to lift the veil on this cosmetic surgery operation which has many advantages! 

Is there only one type of breast augmentation in Tunisia?

There is a misconception according to which there is only one type of breast augmentation in Tunisia. However, breast augmentation techniques have evolved considerably over the past few decades, allowing women to choose from three types of procedures. Thus, candidates for breast augmentation in Tunisia can increase the volume of their breasts by going for a breast augmentation with round implants, a breast augmentation with anatomical implants or a breast lipofilling. Each of these cosmetic surgery procedures in Tunisia offers the patient an increase in breast size and has advantages. Choosing the type of operation will thus have to be made in consultation with the plastic surgeon in Tunisia according to the expectations of the patient and the indications leading to the plastic surgery in Tunisia.

Is breast augmentation in Tunisia permanent?

Yes, a breast augmentation in Tunisia is definitive. However, the notion of definitive is to be put into perspective, regardless of the type of surgery chosen. Indeed, when it comes to a breast augmentation with round or anatomical implants, the patient does not have to worry about seeing the volume of her breasts altered. However, it is essential to plan a change of breast implants every 15 years. This is the lifespan of a breast implant. After this period, it can be altered by time and, for example, leak. The result obtained is therefore definitive, but to guarantee it over time, a new operation must be performed every 15 years. As far as breast lipofilling is concerned, the benefit is also permanent, provided that the initial weight is maintained. Indeed, breast lipofilling in Tunisia is based on the principle of autologous fat grafting, that is to say, the injection of fat taken directly from the patient. This means that the injected fat will react as in any other area of the body... In case of weight gain, the breast volume will increase and, in case of loss, it will decrease. 

Can a breast augmentation in Tunisia change the shape of the breasts?

The vast majority of breast augmentation procedures in Tunisia are not intended to change the shape of the breast. Moreover, it is important to note that the type of breast augmentation chosen depends strongly on the shape of the breast. For a natural and optimal result, anatomical implants are particularly recommended for patients with pear-shaped breasts, while breast augmentation with round implants is recommended for patients with apple-shaped breasts. However, breast augmentation candidates suffering from breast hypotrophy are an exception to this rule. Since these patients have little or no breast volume, the implant will define the shape of their breasts. 

Who can benefit from a breast augmentation in Tunisia?

A breast augmentation in Tunisia is the right operation for all patients in search of breast volume, regardless of the original volume of their breasts. A breast augmentation in Tunisia can also be considered to correct a breast asymmetry or a beginning of breast ptosis (sagging of the chest). And finally, a breast augmentation in Tunisia can also be performed as a reconstructive surgery, for example after a mastectomy. 

Can breast implants leak?

The leakage and potential rupture of breast implants is the main fear of candidates for breast augmentation with implants. It is no surprise considering that there has been serious scandals, notably with the PIP implants, that have altered the confidence of some patients. However, it is important to note that this type of inconvenience remains exceptional and very rarely involves major complications. In fact, patients who respect the 15-year time limit for changing their implants have very little risk of encountering such problems. In addition, even if such a case were to arise, the latest generation prostheses used by Idealmed are made of silicone gel with a high viscosity (thanks to a better cohesiveness) that limits the risks of gel migration, even in case of rupture. 

Breast augmentation in Tunisia: the most common technical questions

Many candidates for breast augmentation are aware of the general principles of breast augmentation in Tunisia but do not dare to take the plunge because they fear the technical aspects of such breast surgery in Tunisia. Medicalys therefore offers to answer the most commonly asked questions about breast augmentation in Tunisia. 

What does a breast augmentation in Tunisia consist of?

In terms of breast augmentation in Tunisia we must distinguish, technically, two types of intervention: breast augmentation with prostheses (round or anatomical) and breast lipofilling. And for good reason, the techniques are different depending on these two types of operations. Thus, in the context of a breast augmentation with implants, the plastic surgeon in Tunisia generally makes a peri-areolar incision. Because of its proximity to the breast, this incision limits the risk of complications and allows for a very discreet scar that blends into the natural pigmentation of the nipple. The surgeon then places the implants. To do so, he has two options: The pre-muscular/retro-glandular position or the retro-muscular/behind the pectoralis major muscle position. The position is chosen according to the effect desired by the patient and the quality of her skin. Finally, the surgeon sutures the incisions and applies a compression bandage. 

In the case of breast lipofilling, also known as breast augmentation without prostheses, the plastic surgeon in Tunisia begins the procedure by taking the necessary fat from the donor areas, generally the buttocks, hips, stomach or thighs. Then, he proceeds to the treatment by centrifugation of the latter before reinjecting it into the patient's chest until obtaining the volume of the desired breast. 

What are the after-effects of a breast augmentation in Tunisia?

The most sensitive patients do not have to fear the after-effects of a breast augmentation in Tunisia. Indeed, they are considered by the majority of women who have taken the plunge as little to moderate pain. Thus, candidates for breast augmentation in Tunisia should expect to feel a significant sensation of soreness and to see bruises and ecchymosis appear. However, it is important to note that the pain reported by patients is more important when it comes to a breast augmentation in Tunisia with implants placed behind the muscle. 

In addition, a breast augmentation in Tunisia involves wearing a compression bra for a month and this, 24 hours a day. Finally, patients wishing to undergo a breast augmentation in Tunisia will need to allow for a one-week convalescence. Those who have a physically demanding job will have to plan for a 3-week break from work. 

What scars appear after a breast augmentation in Tunisia?

The scars following a breast augmentation in Tunisia vary depending on the surgical method used by the plastic surgeon. Thus, in the case of a breast augmentation with prosthesis, they can be peri-areolar, therefore very discreet. However, there may also be horizontal scars in the armpit (leaving the breast intact) or horizontal scars in the natural fold of the breast. Regardless of the location of the scars, it is important to note that they will have a pinkish appearance up to six months after the procedure and will reach their scar maturity after twelve. During this time, it is essential to protect them from the sun to avoid hyperpigmentation. 

What is the result of a breast augmentation in Tunisia?

A breast augmentation in Tunisia allows you to have a beautiful chest with a generous and natural curve. This cosmetic surgery operation in Tunisia allows the patient to have a chest that finally meets her expectations and desires. The benefit of a breast augmentation in Tunisia is twofold: physical and psychological. Indeed, by finally having a chest that meets her expectations, the patient regains some self-confidence. She finally feels comfortable in her clothes and in the intimacy with her partner. A breast augmentation in Tunisia is thus a great ally for all patients who have a complex about their breasts.
