Breast Augmentation with Tear Drop Implants in Dr. Xênia Portella — plastic surgery
About the clinic
Breast augmentation with tear drop implants is a surgical procedure to enhance breast volume while maintaining a natural, sloped shape. At the clinic of Dr. Xênia Portella in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, patients receive personalized care from a surgeon with over 20 years of experience. This surgery uses anatomical implants to mimic the natural breast profile, making it a popular choice for those seeking a subtle look.
Advanced Planning and Customization
Successful breast augmentation starts with detailed planning. Dr. Xênia Portella uses the 3D Crisalix simulator during consultations. This technology allows patients to see a digital preview of their body after surgery. It helps in choosing the right implant size and shape. The clinic offers various materials, including silicone gel with either silicone or polyurethane outer shells. Patients can choose between tear drop and round implants depending on their anatomical goals.
Surgical Methods and Placement
Dr. Xênia Portella tailors the surgical approach to each individual. She offers three different incision sites: the inframammary fold, the periareolar area, or the axillary (underarm) region. The placement of the implant is also flexible. It can be positioned subglandularly above the pectoral muscle or submuscularly beneath it. This flexibility helps the surgeon address specific breast tissue needs and skin thickness for a smoother result.
The Recovery Process
Recovery requires careful attention to specific guidelines to help the healing process. Patients must sleep on their backs for at least 30 days after the procedure. It is important to avoid lifting arms above the shoulders for one month. A specialized support bra must be worn as directed by Dr. Xênia Portella. Physical sports and sun exposure should be avoided for 90 days to protect the incision sites and final shape.
