At Capio in Hellerup, we only use high-quality implants from Mentor. Mentor implants are CE marked and are one of the few implant types approved by an expert panel (FDA) for use in cosmetic surgery. We offer a 5-year capsule warranty, which means that if you need surgery within 5 years due to capsular shrinkage, we offer surgery free of charge.
A breast implant consists of a silicone gel surrounded by a thick, elastic silicone shell with a nubbly surface. The contents can consist of more or less viscous silicone gels and the implants can be round or teardrop-shaped.
Modern implants last for many years - how long can't be predicted, but you can reasonably expect them to last at least 10 years and probably considerably longer. However, it is important to consider that one or more replacement surgeries may be required at a later date. Even with the best breast implants, we can't promise that they will last a lifetime.
During the initial consultation, you will discuss your wishes and expectations with the plastic surgeon. The surgeon will evaluate your breasts and body type and advise you on the size, shape, and placement of the implant. You will also receive information about the surgery, the expected results, and any relevant risks.
Breast augmentation is performed by the plastic surgeon placing the implants through a surgical incision. The placement of the implants and the specific surgical technique are tailored to you based on your anatomy and the plan you developed during the initial consultation.
After the surgery, your breasts may be tender and swollen. You will receive instructions on wound care, wearing a support bra, physical activity, and when you can return to work and exercise. The shape of your breasts and the final result will gradually take shape as the swelling subsides and the tissue heals.
Are breast implants dangerous?
Breast surgeons and plastic surgeons worldwide have concluded that breast implants are safe, but that they can cause very rare and, in some cases, serious complications. At Capio, we only use high-quality breast implants from Mentor. Mentor implants are CE marked and are one of the few types of implants approved by an expert panel (FDA) for use in cosmetic surgery.
Is there a product warranty on the implants?
All Mentor silicone implants come with a lifetime product warranty. If an implant breaks, you will receive a new implant - however, you will have to pay for the surgery yourself. If an implant breaks within 10 years, you will also receive 1000 Euro to help with the cost of the surgery.
Special precautions
Where are breast implants placed?
Implants can be placed in different ways depending on your anatomy and the desired result. During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will determine which placement is best for you.
How do I choose the size of my breast implants?
The choice of implant depends on both your preferences and your body type. During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will assess, among other things, the shape of your breasts, the quality of your skin, and your body proportions, and will advise you on the size and shape that will provide the most harmonious result.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants do not have a fixed expiration date, but they should not be considered lifelong either. It is impossible to predict exactly how long they will last, and it may become necessary to replace or remove them at a later date.
Will there be visible scars after the surgery?
Yes, breast augmentation leaves scars from the surgical incisions. Their location depends on the surgical technique chosen, and the scars will typically change and become less noticeable over time.
Can breasts change after breast augmentation?
Yes. The appearance of the breasts can continue to change due to factors such as age, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and the body’s natural changes. Implants do not prevent these changes.
How long does it take to recover from breast augmentation surgery?
Recovery varies from person to person. You should expect some soreness and swelling after the surgery, and you will receive personalized guidance regarding work, physical activity, and exercise.
