What are the reasons for Breast Augmentation?
Die Entscheidung für eine Brustvergrößerung kann vielfältige Gründe haben. Entscheidend ist immer das individuelle Empfinden der Frau. Schwangerschaften und Stillzeit oder hohe Gewichtsverluste, ein schwaches Bindegewebe sowie der natürliche Alterungsprozess können dazu beitragen, dass die Brüste an Volumen und Elastizität verlieren.
Ein erschlaffter, hängender oder zu kleiner Busen führt bei den betroffenen Frauen häufig zu negativen Gefühlen, wie einem verminderten Selbstvertrauen oder Scham. Wenn das Selbstwertgefühl beeinträchtigt ist, kann sich dies auch nachteilig auf das Sexualleben, familiäre Beziehungen oder den Beruf auswirken. Auch eine allgemeine Unzufriedenheit mit der natürlichen Brust aufgrund von Asymmetrie, Form und Größe sind keine Seltenheit.

Tip: As an alternative to breast augmentation with breast implants, we also offer the particularly natural option of breast augmentation with autologous fat.
Breast Augmentation with Implants – Procedure and Incisions
Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement, is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in Germany and worldwide. In breast augmentation with implants, silicone implants are inserted into the breast tissue by our experienced plastic surgeons to create beautiful, voluminous and natural breasts.
The breast implant can be placed either above or below the pectoral muscle. Placement under the pectoral muscle is associated with greater surgical effort, but has clear advantages: On the one hand, the breast looks even more natural, and on the other, there is a lower risk of infection. There are various incisions that allow for an almost scar-free result. At the PALMKLINIK, we perform the following two incisions:
- Submammary approach: The incision in the skin fold under the breast (underbust fold) ensures that the scars are almost invisible to the layperson afterwards.
- Periareolar approach: Here the incision is made via the nipples. There may be a low risk of loss of sensation. This can also affect subsequent breastfeeding.
Breast Augmentation – Treatment
Before treatment
The first step before a breast augmentation in Cologne is an individual consultation in which we will inform you about everything important, ask you about your wishes and select the right implant. During this consultation, we will also provide you with recommendations for action, such as abstaining from alcohol and smoking before the operation. If you are taking blood thinners, please discuss this with your doctor.
On treatment day
The treatment takes place under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. After the breast operation, you will be bandaged and your breasts may be swollen. You will spend one night as an inpatient in the affiliated hospital.
Breast Augmentation – Aftercare
The right aftercare is crucial for rapid and complication-free healing. Here’s what you need to bear in mind:
- Organize pick-up
- Expect incapacity for work
- Continue to abstain from alcohol and nicotine
- Taking pain medication as required
- Control examination after 1 week
- Wearing a support bra is necessary
- Wearing a Stuttgart belt (protection against slipping of the implant)
- Avoiding sport and heavy lifting for at least 6 weeks
Choosing the right implant
For breast augmentation in Cologne, we only use silicone implants from reputable manufacturers that meet the highest quality standards. Modern, high-quality implants consist of high-quality shells and contain silicone gel. They therefore cannot leak. We mainly differentiate between silicone implants according to size and shape.
Breast Implant Size
Which size is right for you depends on your physical requirements and your personal wishes. Most patients choose an implant size between 250-300 milliliters.
Type of Breast Implant
We differentiate between two different types of breast implants:
1. Round implants ensure a voluminous breast and are particularly suitable for a beautiful cleavage. With round implants, a greater enlargement of the breast, for example from an A to a B cup, is possible.
2. Breast implants with MemoryGel ® Xtra are made of a high-quality cohesive gel. They give the breast a particularly natural look, offer high projection as well as fullness and firmness.
At the PALMKLINIK we will be happy to advise you and give you clear decision-making aids. With a trial implant that is inserted into the bra, you can test which size and type is suitable for a harmonious result. We can also simulate the possible result for you using 3D technology.
Frequently asked Questions about Breast Augmentation
You certainly have many questions before breast enlargement in Cologne. To make your decision easier, we answer the most common ones below. However, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Please feel free to arrange an initial non-binding consultation appointment at the PALMKLINIK.
How much does Breast Surgery cost?
The cost of breast enlargement varies from person to person, and the type of breast implant also plays a role.
For breast enlargement with a breast implant, the costs consist of anesthesia/anesthesia, staff, compression bra, hospital stay and breast implant. The cost of breast enlargement is usually around €8,000.00.
We charge a fee of €80.00 for the consultation; if treatment is received immediately, the consultation fee is reduced to €40.00.
Is Breast Augmentation dangerous?
As with all surgical procedures, there are certain risks associated with breast enlargement with implants, even if they are very small.
- Bleeding
- Bruises
- Wound healing disorders
- Complications during anesthesia
- Infections
- Capsular contracture
- Scarring
- Displacement of the implant
- Damage to the implant
Is Breast Augmentation with Implants better than with autologous Fat?
There is no better or worse, just different purposes. Implants are particularly suitable if a greater enlargement of the breast, for example by more than one cup size, is desired. Breast implants are also the right choice for patients who have too little fat for their own fat transfer.
How long do you have to stay in the Hospital after Breast Surgery?
Regardless of the incision method chosen, breast enlargement is always performed under general anesthesia. To be on the safe side, a stay of between 1 and 2 days is necessary. In difficult cases, a longer stay in the clinic may be necessary.
How long does Breast Surgery take?
The complication-free breast surgery usually takes between 1 and 2 hours.
How long does a Breast Implant last?
At PALMKLINIK we only use the best possible quality of breast implants. These usually do not need to be changed and last a lifetime. A change is only necessary if complications arise.

In addition to breast augmentation with implants, the PALMKLINIK also offers other breast operations:
