¿How is breast augmentation performed?
Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia. The surgery typically lasts two to three hours.
There are two main types of breast implants:
Silicone implants: These implants are filled with silicone gel. They are the most commonly used and provide a natural appearance.
Saline implants: These implants are filled with saline solution. They are less commonly used than silicone implants, but they have the advantage of being safer in case of rupture.
The implant is placed either behind the breast gland or behind the pectoral muscle. The placement of the implant depends on the size and shape of the patient’s breasts, as well as their personal preferences.
How does one recover from breast augmentation surgery?
Recovery from breast augmentation is usually quick. Most women can go home on the same day of the surgery. During the first few days after the procedure, it is important to rest and avoid lifting heavy objects. It is also crucial to follow the surgeon’s instructions for wound care.
Most women can resume their normal activities within two to three weeks.
Why would a woman undergo breast augmentation?
There are many reasons why a woman may choose to undergo breast augmentation. Some of the most common reasons include:
- Dissatisfaction with the size and shape of the breasts.
- Loss of volume after weight loss or the breastfeeding period.
- Breast asymmetry in one or both breasts.

What are the risks of breast augmentation?
Like any surgery, breast augmentation carries certain risks. The most common risks include:
- Hematoma: Blood clotting beneath the skin.
- Infection: Infection in the surgical area.
- Allergic reaction: Allergic reaction to the materials used in the surgery.
- Implant rupture: Rupture of the breast implant.
The risks of serious complications are very low. However, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the surgery with the surgeon before making a decision.
The incisions made to place the implant can be:
- Periareolar incision: This incision is made around the areola. It is the most common incision, as it leaves a very discreet scar.
- Inframammary incision: This incision is made in the inframammary fold. It is less visible than the periareolar incision, but it may leave a more noticeable scar.
- Axillary incision: This incision is made in the armpit. It is a very discreet incision, but it is the most difficult to perform.
What are the results of breast augmentation?
The results of breast augmentation are permanent. Breast implants do not move or deteriorate over time. The results of the surgery are highly satisfactory for most women. Women who undergo breast augmentation often feel more confident and attractive.
Is breast augmentation the right option for me?
The decision to undergo breast augmentation is a personal one. It is important to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to get more information about the surgery and determine if it is the right option for you.

Once you’ve committed to breast augmentation surgery in Bogotá, you must make another important decision: what size implants are right for you?
The size of the breast implant you choose should reflect your aesthetic goals and lifestyle. Your decision should also take into account long-term considerations such as your health, comfort, and the aging process.
Poorly fitted breast implants produce poor results: accurately measuring the breast implants before surgery will ensure you enjoy the outcome. As a general rule, implants that are too large look unnatural and can lead to risks, causing issues such as back pain, thinning of the tissue around the breasts, and sagging.
So, what factors should guide this very personal choice? There are a number of crucial questions you should consider and discuss with Bogotá-based Plastic Surgeon Dr. Guevara before deciding on the implant size. Some key considerations include:
Do I want a natural look, a slightly enhanced look, or an obviously augmented look?
How will my breast augmentation impact my lifestyle?
How will my implants affect my choice of bras and clothing?
How will my breast implants affect my breast health?
Will my breast implants put me at greater risk of needing a breast lift in the future?
Will the size I choose now make me happy in ten or twenty years?
Consulting with a certified plastic surgeon in Bogotá will help you make the right decision and ensure you get the results you deserve and desire. Breast implants that fit properly and are proportional and balanced for your height and body type are essential for a satisfying outcome.
Initial Considerations: Key Questions to Ask Yourself
Before delving into the more pragmatic aspects of selecting the implant size, such as trying implants or taking measurements, working through some of these preliminary considerations can be very helpful.
What kind of look are you hoping to achieve?
Breast implants are generally divided into two categories: those that look natural and those that do not.
In recent decades, there has been a general shift towards a natural look, helping patients look like a fuller version of themselves. A skilled plastic surgeon can help you achieve fabulous natural results.
One of the most common mistakes women make when committing to breast augmentation surgery in Bogotá is succumbing to the desire for dramatic results, which means getting implants that are too large to look natural.
While many women are excited about the possibility of significantly larger breasts, most are not looking for obviously fake breasts. Dr. Guevara can guide you toward a beautiful, natural-looking bust that doesn’t look fake.
What type of lifestyle do you have?
If you lead an active lifestyle, it’s crucial to understand how implants may affect your regular exercise. The larger the implant, the heavier it will be. Trying on implants by size can help you realize the impact the implant will have on your physical activity.
Larger implants move more during activities like jogging or running.
Will my breasts sag with implants?
It depends on the volume of the implants. The larger the volume, the faster gravity will have its effect. We must remember that aging is a natural process, and obviously, the more weight the breast gland carries, the quicker ptosis (the sagging of the breasts) will occur. That’s why my recommendation is to choose an implant size that is enough to notice the change but not excessive, to avoid breast sagging.
Where are the implants placed?
There are two options: periareolar or inframammary. Usually, the patient can make this decision, but there are certain factors to consider. If the diameter of the areola-nipple complex is less than 3 cm, an implant cannot be placed through the areola-nipple complex (periareolar), and the inframammary route must be used, which means through the breast fold.
What age is it recommended to undergo breast augmentation?
Aquí tienes la traducción al inglés:
The main demographic groups of women who undergo breast augmentation are those between the ages of 25-35. It’s no coincidence that this is also the age when most women have children. After pregnancy, the volume and shape of breast tissue can change. Implants can restore and even enhance the original shape of younger breasts, which is why it remains such a popular procedure among new moms.
Childbirth is not the only reason women undergo breast augmentation. The size and shape of a woman’s breasts can change throughout her life, which is why women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s often choose breast augmentation in combination with other procedures to improve their overall appearance. Breast implants can also correct genetic deformities, severe asymmetry, and extreme underdevelopment in women of any age.
What type of implant is used for breast augmentation?
Medical advances have allowed plastic surgeons to offer more breast augmentation options than before. In addition to the well-known silicone and saline breast implants (both FDA-approved for safety and widely used in augmentation procedures), fat transfer can now also be used to enhance your breasts. In this procedure, the plastic surgeon in Bogotá, Dr. Guevara, performs liposuction in an area with excess fat—typically the waist, abdomen, thighs, back, arms, or buttocks. The fat is processed to remove impurities and then injected into the breast tissue.
Is it true that the nipples hurt during recovery?
During your recovery period, you may experience an increase in nipple sensitivity, which will decrease as you heal. Nipple sensitivity will return to normal levels after a few months. However, nipple sensation is directly related to the size of the implant, as the larger the implant, the more the breast nerves will be displaced to make room. Dr. Guevara will explain nipple sensitivity and the right implant size for you during your first consultation.
What is the recovery time for breast augmentation surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the patient, but you should see a reduction in pain after a few days and a reduction in swelling after a few weeks. Dr. Guevara will guide you during your consultation on the expected recovery time for your specific case.
