Prosthetic Technologies

Today’s breast implants offer maximum safety and optimal aesthetic results with 5th generation technology. Thanks to advanced cohesive gel technology, these implants have a very low risk of rupture and can be used safely for 25-30 years with regular monitoring.

Silicone Gel Implants

The latest silicone implants offer a natural appearance and high tissue compatibility. Highly cohesive
« gummy bear » implants are characterized by their shape stability, while medium and low cohesive implants mimic natural breast movements. Regular MRI checks are required for safety.

Saline Implants

Saline implants are filled with sterile isotonic solution during the operation, allowing precise volume adjustment. In case of a rupture, the fluid is safely absorbed by the body. They are less expensive than silicone alternatives and have a shorter recovery period.

Implant Shapes and Sizes

Implants are available in 12 different sizes and 4 different projection options. Round implants offer a natural fullness (85%), while anatomical implants provide a customized look (15%). Projection options range from minimal to ultra-high profile.
