Breast Surgery in Colombia Options: Breast Implants Types
Dr. Zamir provides a range of options to suit every patient’s unique anatomy and preferences:
1- Breast Implants
Breast implants in Colombia remain the top choice for breast augmentation, with a variety of options available to match different preferences and goals.
It is essential for patients with breast implants to have periodic reviews, regardless of the type of implant, to assess the condition and integrity of the implants.
Regular check-ups ensure that any potential issues, such as rupture or complications, are detected early, helping to maintain optimal results and health. Here’s a breakdown:
Type of Coating
| Smooth | Microtextured | Nanotextured |
|---|---|---|
|
Soft to the touch, allowing for more natural breast movement and flexibility.
|
Features a slight texture that helps reduce capsule formation while providing a more natural feel.
|
A more advanced texture designed to lower the risk of complications, like capsular contracture, and provide stability.
|
Shape of Implants
| Round |
Anatomical (Teardrop) |
Ergonomic |
|---|---|---|
|
Offers a fuller, more symmetrical appearance. The shape remains unaffected by rotation, giving consistent results.
|
Mimics the natural shape of the breast with more volume at the bottom, giving a more natural look.
|
Designed to contour naturally to the body, providing a soft and more dynamic shape that responds to body movements.
|
These options give patients the freedom to choose implants that accommodate their aesthetic goals and lifestyle.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
For those seeking a natural enhancement, fat transfer is an excellent option. This method involves:
- Fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs through liposuction.
- Purifying the fat.
- The fat is then injected into the breasts to create a subtle, natural-looking enhancement.
- This dual-benefit procedure enhances breast volume while contouring other areas of the body.
The Breast Augmentation in Colombia Process
1- Consultation
The first step of your journey is a thorough consultation, during which Dr. Zamir Paez will:
- Discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations.
- Perform a physical evaluation to identify the best options for you.
- Explain the Internal Bra-Hybrid technique and how it could benefit your results.
2- Procedure
Generally performed under general anesthesia, breast augmentation involves:
Incision Placement: Dr. Zamir Paez strategically places incisions in discreet locations such as the inframammary fold (beneath the breast), around the nipple (periareolar), or in the armpit (transaxillary).
Implant Placement: Implants are placed above or below the chest muscle based on your body type and desired outcome.
Internal Bra-Hybrid: If opted for, Dr. Zamir Paez will create the internal support structure to enhance the durability and stability of the implants.
Recovery after Mammoplasty in Colombia
Post-surgery, you can expect:
- Swelling and discomfort for the first few weeks were managed with medication and supportive garments.
- A slow return to regular activities within 4-6 weeks.
- Regular follow-ups to monitor healing and results.
Breast Augmentation Recovery Tips and Timeline
Recovering from breast augmentation surgery is a critical period, and following proper guidelines can ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results. Below are actionable recovery tips and a timeline to help you navigate the healing process.
Recovery Tips
1. Sleeping Positions
- First Week: For the first few days, sleep on your back with your head elevated to reduce swelling. Avoid sleeping on your stomach or side, as it can put pressure on the breasts and interfere with the healing process.
- After Week 1: As the swelling decreases, you may be able to sleep on your side, but always ensure your breasts are not under any direct pressure. A wedge pillow can be helpful in maintaining an elevated position.
2. Recommended Garments
- Post-Surgery Bra: Wear a supportive, compression bra as recommended by your surgeon. This garment helps minimize swelling and supports the implants while the tissues heal.
- Avoid Underwire: Do not wear underwire bras until your doctor gives the go-ahead, as they can irritate the incision area and restrict circulation.
- Avoid Tight Clothing: Opt for loose, comfortable clothing that won’t place unnecessary pressure on the chest.
3. Hydration and Nutrition
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body heal and reduce swelling.
- Balanced Diet: Focus on a nutrient-rich diet, including lean proteins (for tissue repair), fruits, vegetables (for vitamins and antioxidants), and whole grains. This will aid in the healing process and improve overall well-being.
- Limit Sodium: Avoid excessive salt to help reduce swelling.
Recovery Timeline with Milestones
Week 1 (Immediate Recovery)
- Rest and Relaxation: Focus on rest and allow your body to heal. You may experience swelling and bruising, which is normal.
- Sleeping: Sleep in an elevated position on your back.
- Limited Activity: Avoid any strenuous activity or lifting. Only light movement is recommended.
- Follow-up Appointment: Typically, a follow-up visit will occur within the first week to monitor the healing process.
Week 2-3 (Reducing Swelling and Starting Light Activity)
- Gradual Mobility: Begin light movements, but avoid lifting anything heavier than 5-10 pounds.
- Sleeping: Continue sleeping on your back. Gradually increase the time spent sitting up during the day.
- Swelling and Bruising: Expect the swelling and bruising to begin reducing..
- Return to Work: Most patients can return to work during this period if their job doesn’t involve heavy lifting or strenuous physical activity..
Week 4-6 (Resuming Normal Activities)
- Light Exercise: Begin light exercises, such as walking or gentle stretching. Avoid high-impact activities and movements that involve the chest.
- Incision Care: Continue following the instructions for caring for your incisions to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.
- Monitor Swelling: Some residual swelling may remain, but it will gradually subside.
Week 6-8 (Building Strength and Resuming More Activities)
- Gentle Lifting: You can slowly resume lifting light weights, but avoid anything too strenuous. Listen to your body to avoid overexertion.
- Sleeping: You may gradually return to side sleeping if comfortable, but always avoid putting direct pressure on the chest area.
- More Active Lifestyle: By now, many patients feel well enough to resume more active routines, including lower-impact exercise like yoga or cycling.
3 Months (Return to Full Activity)
- Full Recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities, including more vigorous exercise (such as running or weight lifting), without restrictions.
- Final Appearance: At this stage, most swelling should have gone down, and the implants will settle into their final position.
6 Months (Final Results)
- Complete Healing: By six months, your implants should be fully settled, and the body will have fully healed. At this point, your breast shape and size will be as they will be long-term.
- Follow-up: A final check-up is recommended to ensure that everything is in order, and no complications have arisen.
By adhering to these recovery tips and timeline, you can ensure a smoother and faster healing process, allowing you to enjoy the results of your breast augmentation safely and effectively. Always consult with Dr. Zamir or your surgeon if you have any concerns or questions during your recovery.

FAQ’S
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts using implants or fat transfer.
Ideal candidates are individuals who:
- Are physically healthy and have realistic expectations.
- Are unhappy with the size, shape, or symmetry of their breasts.
- Have fully developed breasts (generally over the age of 18 for saline implants and 22 for silicone implants).
The procedure typically lasts 1 to 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Some risks include:
- Infection
- Scarring or capsular contracture (scar tissue around the implant)
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Implant rupture or leakage
Recovery varies, but most patients can return to non-strenuous activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery and swelling resolution may take up to 6 weeks.
Breast augmentation may impact breastfeeding, particularly if the incision is made around the areola. However, many women can still breastfeed after surgery.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. On average, they last 10 to 15 years, though some may last longer. Regular check-ups and imaging tests are recommended to monitor implant integrity.
Yes, breast augmentation can improve asymmetry by adjusting the size, shape, or placement of implants to create a more balanced appearance.
Breast augmentation focuses on increasing size and volume, while a breast lift addresses sagging by raising and reshaping the breasts. Both procedures can be performed together if needed.
Fat transfer breast augmentation is an alternative where fat is removed from another area of the body and injected into the breasts. However, it provides a more subtle enhancement compared to implants.
Preparation includes:
- Avoiding certain medications and smoking prior to surgery.
- Completing any necessary medical tests.
- Arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure and assist you during the initial recovery.
