Print PDF

Breast augmentation is designed to increase the size of a woman s breasts through the use of a breast implant. At Beirut Beauty clinic we have adopted a Hidden-scar technique in order to create nicely shaped breasts with an almost invisible scar.

How long will breast augmentation take?

This procedure takes approximately two hours.

Which kind of anesthesia is used during breast augmentation?

A general anesthesia is administrated and the patient is completely asleep, or an intravenous sedation is used, combined with local anesthesia, or even regional anesthesia.

How long is the recovery period from breast augmentation?

The patient can return to work within a few days, and may resume strenuous activities and exercise after one month. She should avoid any physical contact with breasts (excluding her bra) for approximately two weeks. Scars should fade and flatten anywhere from three months to two years after surgery, depending upon how an individual heals.

What results can I expect from breast augmentation?

The outcome varies from patient-to-patient. However the overall effect is enhancement of breast size for improved appearance.
