Breast implants with a breast lift at Clinic Armando Chiari (CAC) in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, combine volume enhancement with a surgical lift to correct sagging. This procedure is led by Dr. Armando Chiari Jr., the creator of the L de Chiari breast technique, which focuses on smaller L-shaped scars and lasting shape. The clinic holds a 5.0 rating from patients and carries prestigious accreditations from TEMOS and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
Dr. Armando Chiari Jr. uses his specialized L-shaped short-scar method to minimize visible marking while repositioning the breast tissue. This approach is often more discreet than traditional T-shaped incisions. During the surgery, silicone gel-filled implants are placed to add fullness. The surgeon typically uses submammary incisions. This choice helps protect the milk ducts and preserves the ability to breastfeed after the procedure.
The clinic selects the implant pocket based on the patient's physical anatomy. For patients with at least 2 cm of breast skin thickness, above-muscle placement is often preferred. For thinner patients, the surgeon may recommend placing the implant behind the pectoral muscle or using a dual-plane technique. This careful balance between skin removal and implant volume helps prevent the breast from becoming too heavy or sagging prematurely.
Surgeries take place at Premier Hospital Dia, which includes ICU support, or Hospital Felício Rocho. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 6 to 24 hours. The initial recovery requires relative rest for about a week, though walking is encouraged early on. Specific post-operative rules include:
