Breast augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance the silhouette by increasing breast volume. Tailored to each patient’s unique goals, this procedure can address aesthetic concerns, correct asymmetry, or restore volume after weight loss or pregnancy. Performed by experienced specialists, it delivers natural-looking, personalized results while respecting each patient’s expectations.
At Brussels Surgical & Esthetic Center, several breast augmentation techniques are available to meet each patient’s needs and expectations. The most common method involves placing an implant behind the pectoral muscle through an incision made in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or under the armpit. This approach is adapted to each patient’s body type and ensures harmonious, satisfying results.
At Brussels Surgical & Esthetic Center, we understand that every patient may have specific questions before deciding to undergo breast augmentation with implants. We have compiled the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand the procedure. If your question isn’t answered here, feel free to contact us for personalized advice.
At Brussels Surgical & Esthetic Center, the price of your procedure is fixed and includes everything in an “All-In” package. This comprehensive package covers all pre-operative consultations with the surgeon, the anaesthesiology assessment, post-operative follow-up, compression garment, medication, and same-day hospital care. In addition, if a revision surgery is required within the year following the procedure, all medical fees are fully covered. A breast augmentation with implants from a well-known French manufacturer costs €4,250 including VAT. Our surgeons consider Sebbin to offer the best quality-to-price ratio on the market. If you opt for implants from a different brand, the total cost may increase by up to €500.
Breast augmentation with implants is designed to enhance breast volume. However, if you have significant breast ptosis (noticeable sagging), combining the procedure with a breast lift may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Implant-based augmentation is ideal for women looking to enhance their figure after pregnancy, substantial weight loss, or simply to feel more confident in their appearance. Our board-certified surgeons will guide you through a personalized consultation to assess your needs and expectations and determine the surgical approach best suited to your anatomy and goals.
Yes, selecting the size and shape of the implants is a key step in the process. During your consultation, you will discuss with your surgeon the options best suited to your body type and aesthetic goals. Your surgeon will guide you while considering factors such as chest width, skin quality, and overall body proportions. Implant volumes, measured in cubic centimeters (cc), influence cup size: from A to B = 230–300 cc, A to C = 300–350 cc, A to D = 370–430 cc. The decision isn’t limited to volume—you can also choose between round and anatomical (teardrop-shaped) implants depending on your desired look.
Scars are usually located in the crease beneath the breast, making them discreet and nearly invisible once healing is complete. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize incision size, generally between 2 and 3 centimeters. With proper post-operative care, healing is rapid and aesthetically pleasing.
Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. After surgery, temporary discomfort is common and varies by individual. You may feel tightness in the chest, bruising, or swelling, which usually diminishes over a few days. Appropriate pain medication will be prescribed to ensure your comfort during recovery.
We use dissolvable sutures that do not require removal. They naturally dissolve within 3 to 6 weeks, ensuring a comfortable recovery without the need for a follow-up appointment for suture removal.
Scars, while technically permanent, typically fade over time. Our team will guide you through post-operative care for optimal healing, including gentle massages, scar creams, and sun protection. In most cases, scars fade gradually over 12 to 18 months.
Recovery generally takes 4 to 7 days. You can resume light daily activities quickly, but strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for 6 weeks after surgery.
You’ll need to wait around 3 weeks before taking a full shower to protect your incisions and dressings. A sponge bath can be used for local hygiene during this period.
A post-operative bra or a non-wired sports bra should be worn continuously for at least 6 weeks following the procedure. This support helps ensure optimal implant positioning and recovery.
Driving immediately after surgery is not recommended due to limited mobility and comfort. Most patients can return to driving after one week, provided they no longer feel any discomfort. Make sure to plan transport for the day of your surgery.
We recommend waiting at least 6 weeks before sun exposure or using tanning beds. During the first year, protect your scars with a high SPF sunscreen (SPF 50).
In most cases, breastfeeding remains possible after breast augmentation, as the implants are placed in a way that preserves the milk ducts.
Immediately after the procedure, your breasts will appear fuller, but may look slightly swollen or firm. These effects are temporary, and the implants will settle gradually. Final results, which are natural and harmonious, usually become visible between 3 and 6 months post-procedure.
An initial post-operative follow-up is included in your care to ensure optimal recovery. Annual check-ups are generally not required unless otherwise advised by your surgeon. However, it’s important to mention your implants during any future medical imaging, such as mammograms.
Modern implants, like those used at our clinic, are designed to last many years. However, their lifespan varies depending on individual factors and the type of implant used. Our surgeons recommend monitoring implants that are more than 10 years old, or sooner if you notice any unusual symptoms.
The first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our specialists. This appointment is billed at €50, which will be deducted from the total cost of the procedure. During this initial meeting, you’ll discuss the available techniques, your desired outcome, and undergo a breast implant simulation (€100, also deductible). If you choose to proceed, a second appointment will be arranged to finalize all details: implant selection, surgical approach, volume, placement, and a full assessment of potential risks. This key step ensures the procedure is tailored to your goals. This patient journey, designed to combine expertise with peace of mind, provides comprehensive and reassuring support at every stage.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging breasts by lifting and reshaping them for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations can affect breast firmness over time. This procedure removes excess skin and repositions the areola to restore a more toned silhouette. It can be performed on its own or combined with breast augmentation and delivers long-lasting, natural results tailored to each patient.
Beauty
Breast augmentation with lipofilling is an innovative solution that enhances the bust using only your own fat. This technique combines liposuction and the transfer of purified fat cells to sculpt the breast volume naturally, without implants. The result is soft, natural-looking, and long-lasting, while also refining donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs. Ideal for women seeking a moderate and progressive enhancement, this procedure delivers a harmonious result with a discreet, durable effect.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding lead to physical changes that can affect body shape and self-confidence. Despite a healthy lifestyle, some women experience persistent abdominal laxity, skin sagging, or localized fat deposits. The Mommy Makeover addresses these changes to restore a harmonious figure tailored to each woman.

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is an aesthetic and reconstructive surgical procedure designed to tighten and reshape the abdominal area. This procedure is particularly recommended after significant weight loss or pregnancy, when the abdominal skin has become lax or there is an excess of tissue. By tightening sagging skin and correcting imperfections, it offers a firmer, more harmonious abdomen, while enhancing comfort and self-confidence.
Beauty
Liposculpture or lipostructure is a surgical procedure designed to refine and redefine the silhouette by eliminating localized fat deposits from different areas of the body such as the arms, abdomen, or thighs. This method aims to harmoniously sculpt body contours rather than simply remove fat. It is important to note that it is not a weight loss method and is intended for patients with stable weight who maintain a healthy lifestyle.

These techniques can be performed on their own or together, depending on your specific needs.
Beauty
The cervicofacial facelift is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to correct sagging skin and tissue in the face and neck. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, wrinkles deepen, and the cheeks begin to droop, giving the face a tired, aged appearance. A facelift helps restore a naturally rejuvenated look by lifting and tightening the skin. It can also address deep wrinkles and marionette lines. For enhanced results, the procedure is often combined with complementary techniques such as lipofilling or laser treatments.
Beauty
Lipofilling is a surgical technique that involves reinjecting the patient's own fat to restore volume or improve skin quality. The fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs, then purified before being precisely reinjected into the face, breasts, or buttocks. Unlike conventional fillers, it provides natural and long-lasting results. Depending on the refinement of the fat, the technique is referred to as microfilling or nanofilling for more targeted corrections.
Beauty
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyelids. It is recommended for patients who experience sagging upper eyelids, puffiness, or a tired appearance. The procedure involves removing excess skin or fat, or tightening loose skin around the eyelids, to restore a youthful and refreshed look to the eyes and upper face. In some cases, when excess skin impairs vision, blepharoplasty may be classified as functional rather than purely aesthetic. If so, INAMI reimbursement may apply following an ophthalmologic evaluation.
Beauty
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that corrects nasal imperfections. Small irregularities in the nose, located at the center of the face, can affect both quality of life and self-confidence. The procedure enhances psychological and physical well-being by addressing common concerns such as a dorsal hump or a tip irregularity. In some cases, rhinoplasty also restores proper nasal function. This is referred to as septoplasty, a procedure reimbursed by the INAMI in Belgium.
Beauty
Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to correct protruding ears. Performed under local anesthesia, the goal is to reposition the ear pinnae in a natural and symmetrical way to restore facial balance and boost self-confidence.

It may be performed for aesthetic purposes, such as penile lengthening or girth enhancement based on the patient’s individual goals, or for reconstructive reasons, including the correction of abnormalities such as penile curvature or underdevelopment. This procedure is often sought by men with anatomically normal dimensions who nevertheless experience psychological discomfort or dissatisfaction with their appearance. Performed by experienced surgeons, penoplasty employs tailored surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking, personalized results.
