Volume that suits your proportions
Breast augmentation with implants can create more fullness and change the shape of the breasts. Your chest, tissue and the everyday life you want to lead determine which size and implant position are suitable. During your consultation with me in Berlin, we also consider long-term care and possible future procedures.
Your examination findings and the extent of treatment determine your individual treatment journey.
Treatment at a glance
Key information about breast augmentation with implants. These details put the duration, recovery and costs into perspective for your personal planning.
Implant width and projection are tailored to your chest, skin and wishes.
Combined procedures, asymmetries and the specific technique may require more time.
Your suitability and the risks of anaesthesia are discussed in person.
Monitoring and the length of your stay depend on the procedure and your progress.
Physical work, lifting and carrying often require a longer period of rest.
The fit, how long to wear it and whether an additional support band is needed are specified individually.
Clearance to return depends on healing, implant position and the type of sport.

Timeframes are a guide. An individual examination will establish what applies to you.
Understanding what changes
A breast implant is inserted through a planned incision into a prepared tissue pocket. The incision is often made in the fold beneath the breast. Whether the implant is placed in front of the chest muscle, partly beneath it or in another suitable position depends on your examination findings.
Assessing width, tissue and desired fullness together.
Adapting the incision and tissue pocket to your anatomy and everyday life.
Recording implant details and allowing for future check-ups.
Choosing an implant involves more than its volume in millilitres. Chest width, the distance between the breasts, existing glandular tissue, skin tension and implant profile all influence the result. A particular cup size cannot be reliably predicted, as bra styles and sizing also vary between manufacturers.
Placement partly beneath the chest muscle can be appropriate when tissue coverage is thin, but it changes the physical stresses involved and can cause breast movement when the muscle contracts. Placement in front of the muscle requires sufficient coverage. I explain the respective advantages and disadvantages rather than recommending one position for every patient.
After pregnancy or weight loss, both volume and skin tension may be reduced. An implant alone does not reliably lift a breast that has dropped significantly. In this case, we discuss a possible lift with its own incision pattern, or treatment in separate stages. The fat transfer treatment I offer remains a separate alternative with different requirements.
The right volume is individual. The shape develops during healing. Implant size, tissue and natural differences together determine the result; subsequent pregnancies, weight changes and ageing can alter it.
Replacement or removal may become necessary later on. Reasons include capsular contracture, rupture, a change in position or a change in your wishes. Future surgery and examination costs should therefore also form part of your decision; an implant that is not causing problems does not automatically need replacing after a fixed number of years.
The body forms a tissue capsule around the implant. If it hardens or tightens, this can cause pain and changes in shape. Rare implant-associated diseases such as BIA-ALCL are discussed when selecting the product; the risk is particularly associated with certain surfaces. Late-onset swelling on one side or new lumps must be examined.
Is this right for me?
Your wishes are the starting point. I assess whether your examination findings, health and the expected benefit are compatible.
You would like more breast volume and a shape that suits your body.
A very large increase in size can overstretch the tissue; a look you admire is not an anatomical benchmark.
Different causes require different solutions. Sometimes, choosing not to have a procedure is the right decision.
Compare alternativesA limited increase in volume using your own tissue requires suitable areas from which to harvest fat.

Explore the optionsYour treatment journey
We discuss shape, volume and implants, including limitations and long-term implications. Further breast investigations are arranged if needed.
Medication is reviewed and agreed with your doctor. After marking and anaesthesia, the implants are placed and the wounds are cared for.
A support bra, wound checks and a gradual return to activity are part of aftercare. You will receive information about your implants.
Before your discharge, we will agree on how to contact me directly for aftercare. General enquiries: team@dottore.caletti.de.
Your return to everyday life
The breasts and chest muscles may feel painful or tight. Increasing symptoms on one side must be checked.
Returning to work, driving and carrying is assessed according to your physical ability and recovery. A support bra and taking it easy remain important.
Only return to sport once you have medical clearance. The final shape and scar maturity develop over months; later check-ups remain advisable.
These timeframes are a guide, not a firm promise. Your individual recovery may differ.
Talking openly about risks
Surgery changes tissue and carries risks. Before you make your decision, I discuss your individual circumstances, possible complications and aftercare with you.
Rapidly increasing swelling on one side, severe pain, redness with fever or wound discharge must be examined immediately. If you experience shortness of breath, chest pain or circulatory collapse, call 112. New swelling or lumps developing at a later stage also require prompt medical assessment.

We specify which services are included in the total amount in your individual quotation.
Additional procedures, medical aids, further stays or later corrections may incur separate costs. Your personal quotation states which services are included. Insurance reimbursement is not automatic; you should clarify any approval for cover and potential follow-up costs before surgery.
An examination and shared planning help you understand the costs. You will receive your personalised cost plan before deciding whether to proceed with treatment.

A website can offer guidance. We discuss your personal situation during your medical consultation.
Ask your questionThat depends on your goal. Implants allow volume enhancement to be planned in a different way, but involve foreign material and its long-term risks. Fat transfer requires donor fat, only some of which survives, and may require several sessions.
Width, skin tension and tissue coverage limit the options. We discuss a profile that suits your body. A particular cup size cannot be guaranteed.
Not necessarily. Tissue coverage, sporting activities and the potential advantages and disadvantages of each position are the deciding factors.
This may be possible, but it is not guaranteed. Your initial breast condition, the incision approach and the procedure can affect your ability to breastfeed. Family planning is therefore part of the initial consultation.
Replacement or removal may be necessary later on. Implants are not lifetime devices. Whether and when a procedure is needed depends on the examination findings, the implant and your personal wishes.
