A basic distinction can be made between implants containing saline, hydrogel and silicone. We only use the most modern, high-quality implants filled with cohesive silicone gel.
The advantages: they cannot leak due to the strongly interwoven molecular chains, feel pleasant and soft to the touch (similar to biological breast tissue) and produce very beautiful, natural results.
We also offer breast augmentation with B-Lite implants, which are comparatively lighter in weight. However, the use of these implants is only suitable in selected cases and cannot be offered at a flat rate. If you are interested, please discuss this in your personal consultation.
Our surgeons take a lot of time to understand your needs and your ideas in detail, whereby 3D simulation can also be used as an aid.
The most important thing for us is that our patients are very satisfied with the final result. This is also reflected in the ongoing satisfaction survey, in which 97% of all our patients rate the Breast Atelier, but above all their new breasts, with the top rating of "very satisfied".
Modern breast implants offer two proven shape options, each with their own advantages. The choice of the optimal shape depends on your individual anatomy, your aesthetic wishes and various medical factors.
Thanks to dimensionally stable silicone gel, these implants retain their natural teardrop shape in any position. They are particularly suitable if a soft, natural breast contour is desired and can create a very harmonious décolleté.
This classic implant shape creates an even fullness and, depending on the initial situation and placement, can lead to beautiful, natural results. They are the ideal choice for certain body proportions and wishes.
The final shape is influenced by several factors:
During the detailed consultation, we analyze all relevant aspects together and find the implant shape that suits you perfectly. Both options can lead to a naturally beautiful result - the decisive factor is professional, individual adaptation to your needs.
The implant is inserted via the shortest possible incision, which is made in the breast crease beforehand. Great importance is attached to sterile insertion and at the same time to the shortest possible incision - so that the subsequent scar is as small as possible. Find out more here.
During breast augmentation, the implant can be placed in different body planes.
The aim of optimal implant placement is to place enough of the patient's own tissue over the implant. Only then can a natural and full breast shape be achieved. In addition, the risk of the implant being felt or the edges being seen is minimized.
If the patient has enough of her own tissue, we prefer subfascial placement: the implant is placed under the mammary gland with the muscle fascia taken along. This method offers decisive advantages over purely subglandular placement - the fascia provides better support for the implant and a more stable position.
If the patient does not have enough of her own tissue, the implant must be placed in deeper layers to counteract so-called "rippling" (visible rippling of the implant under the skin).
The dual-plane method offers the ideal solution here: the implant is placed partly under the pectoral muscle and partly under the mammary gland. This means that the implant is covered by the muscle in the décolleté area, while the lower part lies under the mammary gland. This produces stable and aesthetically pleasing results in the long term.

Only a small amount of fat is required for this method. It is therefore also possible and helpful for slim patients.
These combination procedures are being used more and more frequently because the breast volume and shape can be changed in a targeted and individualized manner.
There is often little autologous tissue in the lower part of the breast fold. The implant is therefore sometimes noticeable or even visible. Through the targeted use of autologous fat, these areas can be retouched by thickening and a very natural result can be achieved.
Particularly in thin women with little breast tissue, the visibility of unsightly implant edges can be prevented.
Existing asymmetries can be compensated for very precisely with the autologous fat. In addition, the autologous fat makes the skin softer and thicker, which means that the implant can be better covered.
An often appreciated side effect is that annoying fat deposits (such as on the abdomen, flanks, outer thighs, etc.) are suctioned out, which also improves the contour.
The implant is used for volume augmentation.
In most cases, the implant is covered in the upper area by the muscle (method: insertion of the implant under the pectoral muscle).
The body's own fat is harvested from fat deposits, washed and specially prepared and injected into the surgical area after the implants have been inserted.
Order access to before and after pictures of former patients here. All operations have been performed in recent weeks by our FMH plastic surgery specialists at the Breast Atelier.
At the Breast Atelier, you will always be advised by a certified FMH specialist in plastic surgery. Your consultant will perform the operation himself.
Your consultation appointment with one of our specialists lasts between 30 and 60 minutes and is free of charge.
During your consultation for breast augmentation, you can try out different inserts to feel how the augmented breast feels and looks on your body.
Immediately after the operation, the breast is immobilized with a special breast bandage and evenly compressed. The higher pressure compared to a bra can reduce the risk of secondary bleeding.
You will remain in the day clinic for at least two hours for monitoring, after which you may be collected.
Three follow-up appointments are necessary after the operation, the first of which takes place the very next day.
At this first check-up, you will be fitted with a sports bra, which should be worn consistently for six weeks. If a drain was placed during the operation, this is usually also removed the next day.
You will be informed promptly of the dates for the two further follow-up appointments.
After breast surgery, swelling or temporary loss of sensation may occur, which in most cases disappears within a few weeks. However, it can take several months before the original sensation returns completely. After around six to eight weeks, the traces of the operation are usually largely healed.
You should expect to be unable to work for 3 - 4 days. Depending on your job, this may be longer.
Sport must be completely avoided for 6 weeks, after which it is possible to return to sport more easily. Sports that put a lot of strain on the chest muscles, such as horse riding, strength training in the chest area or intensive yoga, should only be resumed after 3 months.
Breast operations at the Breast Atelier are performed under general anesthesia without exception - for the maximum safety and health of our patients.
Our highest safety standards do not permit operations under twilight sleep or partial anesthesia.
General anesthesia is absolutely reliable and safe for both the patient and the surgeon.
Moderator Tamara Cantieni in conversation with Dr. med. (Australia) Nicholas Waughlock on:
In the podcast series with Radio 1, Dr. Nicholas Waughlock answered further questions about the surgical technique:
Grundsätzlich kann zwischen Kochsalz, Hydrogel und Silikon haltigen Implantaten unterschieden werden. Wir verwenden nur modernste, qualitativ hochwertige Implantate aus vernetztem Silikon. Die Vorteile: sie können nicht mehr auslaufen und ergeben sehr schöne, natürliche Resultate.
Nach der Operation ist die Konsistenz der Brust fester. Nur selten klagen Patientinnen während der ersten sechs Wochen über ein gewisses Fremdkörpergefühl. Im weiteren Verlauf wird die Brust weich und fühlt sich meist natürlich an. Bei sehr schlanken Patientinnen mit wenig Unterhautfettgewebe kann das Implantat vor allem seitlich aussen und im Unterpol der Brust tastbar sein.
Ein genereller Wechsel alle zehn Jahre, wie das früher empfohlen wurde, ist nicht nötig.
Wie bei anderen Eingriffen, wo mit Fremdmaterial und Implantaten gearbeitet wird, kann auch bei der Brustvergrösserung nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass mit den Jahren eine Nachbehandlung erforderlich ist. Der Grund für eine allfällige Auswechslung ist in der Regel aber nicht die Haltbarkeit des Implantates, sondern häufig sind es Veränderungen des eigenen Körpers und Gewebereaktionen. So nimmt die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Ersatzes mit zunehmendem Alter zu
Die Brustvergrösserung beeinträchtigt die Stillfähigkeit nicht, da das Implantat hinter der Milch produzierenden Drüse platziert wird.
Nein. Umfangreiche Studien zeigen, dass durch Brustimplantate kein erhöhtes Brustkrebsrisiko besteht.
Je nach beruflicher Tätigkeit kann mit einer Arbeitsunfähigkeit von drei bis vier Tagen gerechnet werden. Bei körperlicher Arbeit dauert die Arbeitsunfähigkeit länger. Lassen Sie sich diesbezüglich individuell von unseren Fachärzte beraten.
Breast augmentation is an issue for many women. Regardless of age. The reasons vary, but most women want breasts that harmonize with their figure and do not look operated on.
Our renowned specialists at the Breast Atelier in Zurich fulfill this wish by seeing every woman as an individual, taking her personal expectations seriously and choosing the best individual treatment method together with the patient after thorough clarification.
Your consultation with one of our specialists lasts between 30 and 60 minutes and is free of charge. There is enough time to understand your needs and expectations in detail.

After breastfeeding, my breasts were very saggy - asymmetrical and flabby. As the contours of my ribs were visible above the nipples, even a push-up bra made no sense. Every underwired bra was too big.

I am very happy with my result, it has become a beautiful natural breast. I love looking at myself in the mirror again and finally feel like a complete woman again. Before I had an A-cup and now I have a larger B / small C.

In winter I could hide my skin flap. In summer, I tried to conceal my something of nothing with cup bras. At the latest when I went swimming, I felt ashamed. No bikini fit anymore. My male upper body looked terrible. It hurt to look at myself in the mirror.

After two pregnancies and two long periods of breastfeeding, my breasts were empty and I could barely fill an A cup. I no longer felt very feminine and was often frustrated when I put on my figure-hugging tops or favorite bras.
