Give Your Confidence a Big Boost with a Breast Augmentation
Plastic surgery offers much more to women than aesthetics; it also encompasses a journey towards improving their self-confidence and body positivity.
The desire for breast enlargement depends on the individual ideal of beauty. In a young woman, the desire for breast enlargement usually arises because the breasts are too small after puberty. At the same time, this often causes great psychological stress. A woman who has already given birth and breastfed children wants to return to the original breast shape she had before pregnancy. Breast enlargement is then used to restore breast volume, but also to tighten the breast skin and lift the nipple.
Goal of breast enlargement
The primary goal of any breast enlargement and breast lift using implants is a natural breast shape.
Planning is everything
This is why it is very important to plan the operation in practice before the procedure. The exact measurements of the breast and the proportions of the upper body are recorded and included in the planning.
Location of breast implants
The breast is enlarged using implants that are placed either directly under the mammary gland or under the pectoral and thoracic muscles (a total of 3 muscles that form a plate). If breast augmentation is also required to perform a breast lift, the implant is usually positioned under the mammary gland. The skin incision that is necessary to carry out the preparation under the muscles or under the mammary gland is placed in the natural skin cleavage lines, usually under the mammary gland. The scar is barely visible.
Variety of breast implants
Different shapes and sizes of breast implants are available for breast enlargement.
“Rolls-Royce” amongst breast implants
The manufacturer of the breast implants is the company Mentor, which comes from the USA and is considered the “Rolls Royce” of breast implants. The shape of the breast is measured precisely beforehand and a suitable breast implant is selected according to the need.
The structure of breast implants
All breast implants have a core made of silicone gel and a shell made of specially coated, solid silicone. The implants we use have a textured (slightly rough) surface. This allows the body’s connective tissue to bond better with the breast implant during the healing phase.
The procedure
The procedure is always performed under general anesthesia with an overnight stay in a clinic. The following clinics are available:
Limmatklinik in Zurich, Hirslanden Klinik in Zurich, and the Cantonal Hospital in Schaffhausen.
After the operation, the following points should be observed:
In order not to endanger the healing of the implants, no sport should be done for 6 weeks. During this time, a special bra (sports bra) must be worn day and night. Afterwards, the lower part of the breasts must be pressed together with the thumb and index finger once a day for 5 minutes. This so-called anti-capsule training is intended to protect the breasts from excessive capsule formation. As with any scar after an operation, the scar after breast enlargement is protected for 6 months with a sunblock (factor 50).

What to expect during breast augmentation?
We kickstart the process of breast augmentation with a consultation. A full consultation kicks off your journey with enough time taken by Prof. Feinendegen in order to comprehend your desires, explain to you what choices and options you have, what you can expect from the surgery and its possible risks as well as to tailor an individual surgical plan. And of course to get to know one another, as mutual trust is vital for any surgery performed. The main goal of breast augmentation is to get a natural and lasting result for you.
This includes the following key steps in the process:
- A thorough consultation for choosing the right size and type of implant.
- Surgery with the use of advanced techniques.
- Personalized aftercare for a very smooth recovery.
Many of these procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis in the day clinic in Zurich-Zollikon or in Schaffhausen in an outpatient operation in the cantonal hospital, depending on the patient’s state of health. General anesthesia is also often possible on an outpatient basis. The general anesthesia is carried out by our long-term partner narkose.ch. Narkose.ch specializes in outpatient anesthesia.
For internal medicine patients at risk, the procedures are sometimes carried out in the clinic with a short hospital stay. Prof. Feinendegen discusses how and what exactly is done in great detail and individually with each individual.
Prof. Feinendegen specializes in removing skin tumors such as basal cell carcinomas, melanomas or squamous cell carcinomas on the face and body with minimal scarring and in an aesthetically perfect manner and in reconstructing the resulting defects. Dr. Feinendegen has developed many of his own techniques to preserve aesthetics, form and function. One example of this is the V/Y perforator flap technique. This technique allows the symmetry and shape of the nose to be preserved even in the case of extensive tumors.

Prof. Feinendegen is also able to remove large, extensive tumors on the body using special, specially developed surgical techniques and to move large flaps of skin in order to remove the tumor with minimal scarring and to cover the resulting defect again (for example, the flapjack method by Prof. Feinendegen). During the removal of skin and soft tissue tumors, histological examination is often carried out in the laboratory during the operation. This is also called Mohs surgery.
The aim of removing the tumors is to eliminate and correct the defect in both functional and aesthetic terms.
