Breast augmentation in Tunisia with anatomical prostheses is a highly sought-after aesthetic surgery. Tunisia has established itself as a preferred destination for this intervention, offering recognized medical expertise at competitive rates. Anatomical prostheses, also known as water-drop-shaped prostheses, provide particularly natural results.
Breast augmentation in Tunisia with anatomical prosthesis: Definition
Anatomical prostheses are breast implants made of cohesive silicone gel, whose shape reproduces that of a natural breast. Unlike round prostheses, they have a more projected shape in the lower part and more plate in the upper part. This specific shape allows to obtain a very natural result, particularly suitable for women who want a discreet breast augmentation
How is the breast augmentation by anatomical prosthesis?
before the intervention
Preparation begins with a thorough preoperative consultation. The surgeon performs a detailed clinical examination of the breasts, taking into account their morphology, volume and possible asymmetries. Medical examinations are prescribed (mammography, ultrasound, blood test). The choice of anatomical prostheses is discussed according to the patient’s expectations and morphology. Photos are taken and a 3D simulation can be proposed to visualize the result
.
The intervention itself
The operation takes place under general anesthesia and lasts between 1h30 and 2h. The surgeon begins by making the incision, usually in the submammary fold for anatomical prostheses. It then creates the box that will accommodate the implant, most often in a retromuscular position. The anatomical prosthesis is then inserted precisely because its orientation is crucial for a natural result. Resorbable stitches are used to close
Postoperative course
A compression bandage and post-operative bra are put in place. Overnight hospitalization is usually required. Mild pain and edema are normal for the first few days. Painkillers are prescribed. The wearing of the bra is mandatory for 4-6 weeks
Scars
The scars measure about 4-5 cm and are placed in the submammary fold to be discreet. They are pink the first months and then gradually fade. A specific scar treatment may be prescribed to optimize their appearance
The convalescence period
Recovery requires a minimum of one week’s rest. Work can be resumed after 7 to 10 days, depending on the activity. Sports should be avoided for 6 weeks. The final result is appreciated after 3-6 months, once the edema has disappeared and the tissues are softened
Results of breast augmentation in Tunisia with anatomical prosthesis
The results of breast augmentation with anatomical prostheses evolve gradually over time.
After 6 months
At this point, the results begin to stabilize. The postoperative edema is resolved and the tissues become more flexible. The breasts take a more natural shape with a harmonious curve. Breast projection becomes optimal, especially in the lower part of the breast. The scars begin to fade and become more discreet. The symmetry between the two breasts improves and the positioning of the prostheses stabilizes.
After 12months
The final results are visible and are characterized by:
- A natural increase in breast volume
- A harmonious curve that respects the anatomy of the breast
- A larger projection in the lower part
- Scars that continue to fade
- Optimal symmetry between the two breasts
- A perfect integration of the prostheses in the tissues
- A natural and elegant neckline
Patient satisfaction is generally high because anatomical prostheses offer a very natural result. The breasts retain their natural mobility and flexibility. The durability of the results is excellent, although a change in the prosthesis may be necessary after 10-15 years. Maintaining results also depends on factors such as weight changes, possible pregnancies and natural tissue aging. To optimize and maintain long-term results, it is recommended that:
- Wear suitable neck supports
- Maintain a stable weight
- Conduct regular monitoring
- Perform periodic checkups (ultrasound, mammography)
Advantages of the anatomical prosthesis
Anatomical prostheses offer significant benefits for breast augmentation. Their water-drop shape gives a particularly natural result, with a larger projection in the lower part of the breast. This feature avoids the “bulging” effect sometimes observed with round prostheses in the upper part of the breast. The main advantages are:
- A very natural result that respects the anatomy of the breast
- Optimal and harmonious breast projection
- A wide variety of volumes and profiles available
- Precise adaptation to the morphology of each patient
- A smooth transition with the chest wall
- Excellent hold over time
- A natural and elegant neckline
- A pleasant sensation to the touch
These advantages make anatomical prostheses an ideal solution for women seeking a discreet and natural breast augmentation, particularly suitable for fine morphologies or poorly developed breasts.
Complications of breast augmentation with anatomical prosthesis
Breast augmentation by anatomical prostheses can present some complications that it is important to know
Major complications include:
Early complications: hematomas, post-operative infections, wound healing disorders and sensitivity problems
Medium-term complications: formation of a periprosthetic shell (contraction of the capsule around the implant), rotation of the prosthesis (specific to anatomic implants), asymmetries
Late complications: rupture of the implant, visible folds or undulations, displacement of prostheses
Breast augmentation with anatomical prostheses in Tunisia is an effective solution for women who want natural results. The success of the intervention is based on:
- The choice of an experienced surgeon
- Good communication of expectations
- Compliance with pre and post-operative instructions
- Regular medical monitoring
Although the financial aspect is attractive in Tunisia, it is crucial to give priority to quality and safety in the choice of clinic and surgeon. An in-depth consultation will determine whether this intervention is appropriate and define the most appropriate project for each patient.
