Augmentation mammoplasty is one of the most preferred aesthetic surgical procedures when the goal is harmonious volume, balanced proportions and a natural-looking bust. By placing high-quality silicone implants, a long-lasting aesthetic result is achieved, tailored to the individual characteristics of the body.
The procedure is suitable for women with congenitally smaller breasts, loss of volume after weight loss, pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as in the presence of asymmetries or congenital features. The motivation for the operation is different for each patient, but the goal is always the same – a better balance between the chest and the body and higher self-esteem.
Since every woman is unique, preoperative consultation is a key stage of the process. During it, Dr. Petrov takes the necessary time to understand the patient’s wishes, evaluate her anatomical features and together choose the most suitable implant in terms of shape, size and volume. The position of the implant and the location of the incision are also discussed, so that the final result is as natural as possible and consistent with the proportions of the body.
In cases with pronounced sagging of the breast, the plastic surgeon may recommend combining breast augmentation with lifting (mastopexy) to achieve an optimal aesthetic result.
To ensure safety and a high standard of medical care, in addition to standard preoperative examinations, it is necessary to perform breast ultrasound in women between 18 and 35 years of age, and mammography in patients over 35 years old.
Breast augmentation is suitable for:
It is important that you are at least 18 years old, have a stable weight, good general health, personal motivation for the operation and realistic expectations for the result.
Before the procedure, the plastic surgeon will talk to you about all your questions and expectations. The choice of a breast lift method is carried out individually, together with the specialist. Women who are planning pregnancy and breastfeeding are usually advised to postpone surgery.
Informed consent is a mandatory document that contains a detailed description of the procedure, possible risks and complications, anesthesia and financial conditions. It is signed after careful familiarization and the opportunity to ask questions to the plastic surgeon or anesthesiologist.
An assessment of the physique, elasticity of the skin and the wishes of the patient is carried out. The shape, volume and position of the areoles are discussed.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia. Its duration is not less than two hours. The incision is made:
– under the breast,

The operation lasts about 1.5–2 hours and is performed under awake sedation in combination with local anesthesia. This is a very gentle type of general anesthesia in which the patient breathes on his own. The incisions are made discreetly – under the breast, around the areola or in the armpit.
Breast implants from established international manufacturers with proven quality and many years of clinical practice are offered on the Bulgarian market.
The variety of implants allows for precise individual choice, tailored to the patient’s anatomy and the desired aesthetic result. The main characteristics by which implants differ are:
In our practice, we use implants of the highest class, with a nano-textured, smooth or textured shell and a filling of cohesive silicone gel, regardless of the shape. The advantage of cohesive gel is that in case of a possible violation of the shell, it retains its shape and remains in place, which increases the level of safety.
The choice of implant is made individually during the consultation, according to the anatomical features, the desired volume and the desired natural result.
The breast implant can be placed in different anatomical positions, depending on the individual characteristics and the desired result – behind the mammary gland, behind the fascia of the muscle, under the pectoral muscle or in the so-called breast implant. Dual plane. Each plan has indications and an individual approach to each patient is essential for their choice.
The type of general anesthesia applied in our clinic allows very light and the patient wakes up with compression postoperative underwear and a stabilizing band, necessary for the correct positioning of the implants in the postoperative period. During the hospital stay, all necessary medications – antibiotics and painkillers, are administered intravenously.
The pain is usually moderate, and can be more pronounced with submuscular placement of the implants.
A 24-hour hospital stay is required for monitoring and control.
Each patient recovers for a different period of time. Upon leaving the clinic, you receive a passport of the implants, which is your guarantee for them.
All surgical interventions carry risks, and plastic surgery is no exception. Serious complications are not common when surgery is done by a qualified plastic surgeon.
Revision surgery: It is performed after implants have been placed and a complication or unsatisfactory aesthetic result has occurred. The development of an infection may require temporary removal of the implant and, after a period of one or three months, it can be placed again. Seromas and hematomas are drained, it is possible to do this under general anesthesia. Aesthetic correction may be necessary in order to: · Changing the size of the implant · improving breast symmetry · Replacement of a ruptured implant
If there is body hair in the area of surgical intervention, it should be shaved immediately before surgery.
