Breast Augmentation in Paris
COSMETIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE BREAST SURGERY
Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is the most democratized and popular plastic surgery procedure, whether in France or around the world.
Thanks to the many advances made in this field, it is possible to obtain a breast augmentation adapted to one’s desires and morphology, whether in terms of volume, shape or scars. Visually and to the touch, the result will be harmonious and natural.
Important
- Natural result, thanks to the wide range of breast implants and new surgical techniques (dual plane, composite breast augmentation, minimally invasive incision...)
-
Simple follow-up with an outpatient procedure
-
Well-adjusted surgery
-
All the possible choices of shapes and volumes of breast prostheses while remaining in agreement with your morphology
- A 3D simulation and a preoperative trial of prostheses to choose the right breast implant for your needs
Why a breast augmentation?
Breast hypoplasia and hypotrophy are defects in breast volume development.
This can be due to insufficient development of the mammary gland or secondary to loss of volume after pregnancy, weight loss or hormonal fluctuation.
Many women experience this hypotrophy as an attack on their femininity. In some cases, it can be associated with a loss of self-confidence or even become a complex.
Dr. Gianfermi therefore offers her patients different breast augmentation procedures to increase this insufficient breast volume while respecting the patient’s anatomy and morphology.
Partial coverage by the CPAM (primary health insurance fund) is possible for cups smaller than A with a masculine-looking thorax.
Breast augmentation
By prosthesis
The main advantages of breast augmentation by prosthesis are :
- Possibility to choose the size of the chest
- Possibility to choose the shape
- Quickly overcome a complex
- Controlled intervention, with very little risk <2

Soukouna Hawa
I had surgery in 2014. For a breast augmentation and everything went well. I thank Dr. Gianfermi. For the moment everything is perfect!
Breast Augmentation
The different possibilities
Implant options
Silicone
Silicone implants consist of a silicone shell filled with a cohesive silicone gel.
These implants simulate the look and feel of natural breast tissue and provide the most natural results.
Dr. Gianfermi prefers silicone implants for breast augmentation surgery for a natural feel and optimal longevity.
He prefers French-branded implants manufactured in France, for which there is several decades of experience. The safety of his patients is a priority in his practice.
SERUM PHYSIOLOGY
Inflatable breast implants consist of a silicone shell filled with a sterile saline solution.
They are inserted without being inflated through a 1cm incision and then once positioned the necessary volume is injected until the desired result is obtained.
These implants are interesting for patients who want an invisible scar and need a fine symmetrization of their breasts.
Saline-filled implants are more prone to waves and the appearance of visible folds, especially in thin patients. Dr. Gianfermi offers them upon request.
Round
Round breast implants are a proven solution.
When carefully placed in a well-developed pocket, they should take on the shape of an anatomical implant.
Round implants do not have the same rotation problems as anatomical implants.
In France, the macro-texturing of implants, which allows them to be attached to the breast and prevents them from rotating, is now prohibited. Anatomical implants are micro-textured and the risk of rotation is high. Therefore, Dr. Gianfermi only uses round implants that are perfectly adapted to the patient’s morphology.
ANATOMIC
Dr. Gianfermi prefers to use these implants only in very specific indications. Indeed, the ban on macro-textured implants in France increases the risk of rotation of these implants and should be kept only for carefully selected indications.Incision options
Under breast
This technique is preferred by Dr. Gianfermi, Dr. Gianfermi creates a very small incision along the lower breast fold. His technique follows the natural curvature of the lower breast, which helps to camouflage any scarring that may develop.periareolar
This technique uses a scar placed along the colored border of the lower areola.
This technique is of interest when it is necessary to perform a procedure on the mammary gland. One of the most frequent pathologies that lead to the preference of this incision is tuberous breasts.
Despite discreet scars, this approach increases the risk of decreased sensitivity of the areola and compromises future breastfeeding.
Transaxillary
An incision is created inside each armpit. Dr. Gianfermi will choose this technique if the areola is too small for implant insertion, if the patient does not want a scar on the breast (even if it is camouflaged), or if there is no breast ptosis and an insufficient amount of lower breast tissue to cover an incision along the subcutaneous breast fold.Position of implants
Subglandular
The implants are placed under the breast tissue but above the pectoralis major muscle. Dr. Gianfermi will occasionally use this technique if there is enough natural breast tissue to cover the implants or if the implants are of moderate size.
It is also the prosthetic placement of choice for patients who are very athletic or want the fastest postoperative recovery.
Dr. Gianfermi does not favor this technique because the results evolve less favorably with aging and thinning of the breast tissue.
The prosthesis is more visible on the upper part of the breast because the muscle does not cover the implant.
Submuscular
Implants are placed strictly under the breast tissue and pectoralis major muscle. Placing implants under the muscle helps to give a more natural appearance to the breasts. The muscle helps hide the edges of the implants in women with thinner breast tissue and provides additional support to the lower breast tissue.
Implants placed under the muscle have a lower risk of capsular contracture and detachment. Many women also prefer sub-muscular placement because it allows for clearer mammography results.
However, this prosthetic placement is only possible for small volume implants.
Dual plan
the upper half of the implant is placed under the muscle, and the lower half is above the muscle. This technique allows for more rounding of the lower breast if the muscle is very tight.
Dr. Gianfermi will preferentially use this technique if it is indicated for optimal results.
Breast Augmentation
and lifting (mastopexy)
A breast lift combined with a breast augmentation improves the shape of your breasts, treats breast ptosis by removing excess skin for a harmonious breast. This technique also treats breast deformities such as double groove or breast malposition.
Frequently asked questions
WHAT TYPE OF ANESTHESIA IS USED DURING A BREAST AUGMENTATION?
Dr. Gianfermi performs a breast augmentation under light general anesthesia
CAN BREAST AUGMENTATION CORRECT BREAST ASYMMETRY?
WILL BREAST AUGMENTATION CREATE A BETTER NECKLINE?
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS OF MY BREAST AUGMENTATION LAST?
Breast augmentation provides long-lasting breast enlargement and breast shape correction.
However, the breast implants themselves may eventually need to be replaced to maintain the appearance of your breasts.
The average time frame varies from 7 to 15 years depending on your activity, the placement of the implant and its volume
