Breast augmentation is one of the most requested plastic surgery procedures in Italy and worldwide. It involves augmenting the breast volume through the insertion of breast implants, with the goal of achieving a natural, harmonious result that is proportionate to the patient's body shape. In Naples, Dr. Adriano Santorelli is one of the leading plastic surgeons for this type of procedure, thanks to his experience, international training, and use of the most advanced techniques available.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, commonly called "breast augmentation" or "breast implant," is a surgical procedure that involves the insertion of breast implants (prostheses) to increase breast volume, improve shape, or correct asymmetry. The implants can be placed in different anatomical locations (submuscular, subglandular, or dual plane) and through different incisions (submammary, periareolar, or axillary), depending on the patient's physical characteristics and desired aesthetic goals.
Who is the Ideal Candidate?
The ideal candidate for breast augmentation is an adult woman in good health with realistic expectations regarding the results of the procedure. The most common reasons women seek this procedure include naturally small or underdeveloped breasts, loss of volume after pregnancy or breastfeeding, significant breast asymmetry, or simply the desire to improve their figure and psychological well-being.
Breast Implants: Types and Characteristics
Modern breast implants are highly safe and reliable medical devices, made with an external silicone shell and filled with cohesive silicone gel or saline solution. They come in various shapes (round or anatomical "teardrop"), surfaces (smooth or textured), and profiles (low, medium, high, ultra-high). The surgeon selects the most appropriate implant during the preoperative consultation, taking into account the patient's body measurements, the amount of breast tissue present, and the desired aesthetic goals.
The Dual Plane Technique: Dr. Santorelli's Excellence
Dr. Santorelli is one of the few surgeons in Italy to use the 14-point Adams/Deva protocol, the world's most advanced system for reducing breast implant complications. This systematic and rigorous approach ensures optimal results in terms of naturalness, symmetry, and long-term durability, minimizing the risk of complications such as capsular contracture.
The Surgical Process: From Consultation to Recovery
The breast augmentation procedure begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Santorelli, during which the patient's physical characteristics, expectations, and the most appropriate surgical options are assessed. This is followed by preoperative examinations, the actual procedure (which lasts approximately 1-2 hours under general anesthesia), and a recovery period of approximately 2-4 weeks, during which it is necessary to wear a post-operative bra and follow the surgeon's instructions.
How much does breast augmentation cost in Naples?
The cost of breast augmentation in Naples varies based on several factors: the type and brand of implants chosen, the surgical technique used, the healthcare facility, and the surgeon's experience. It's important not to choose based on the lowest price, but to carefully evaluate the quality of the surgeon, the facility, and the materials used. Dr. Santorelli offers personalized consultations with transparent estimates and the option of paying for the procedure in installments.
