What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most requested procedures in cosmetic surgery. It allows you to shape both the shape and size of your breasts to correct dissatisfaction related to breasts that are too small or asymmetry. This procedure offers improved body and figure harmony, as well as increased self-confidence. Thanks to the use of breast prostheses, it is possible to meet the desires for a more voluminous bust, to restore volume after a diet or maternity, or even to reconstruct a breast following a mastectomy or injury.
Who is Breast Augmentation with Implants For?
Breast augmentation surgery is for women who wish to:
- Make their breasts more proportionate to their body and more voluminous;
- Restore a bust that has been damaged during pregnancy, breastfeeding or after weight-loss surgery such as a sleeve or bypass, thus restoring its shape and volume;
- Improve the aesthetic harmony of the breasts by correcting breast asymmetry, i.e., a disparity in volume between the two breasts;
What are the Different Techniques for Breast Augmentation?
To make your breasts more voluminous, you can opt for breast augmentation with implants. This procedure involves inserting the prostheses under the pectoral muscle or under the mammary gland, or using the dual-plane technique. Although placement under the mammary gland is easier for the surgeon, it may have the disadvantage of making the prosthesis more perceptible and visible, and also makes mammography more difficult. We must consider the placement of the prosthesis under the pectoralis major muscle.
Although this reduces the risk of complications such as capsular contracture and allows for easier mammograms, it also increases the duration of the operation and recovery. In addition, it can lead to a risk of upward displacement of the prosthesis. In order to solve these disadvantages, a new innovative method called Dual Plane has been developed. It involves placing the upper part of the implant under the pectoralis major muscle, where the skin is thinner and the risk of palpability of the implant is higher.
The lower part of the implant is positioned under the gland, thus reducing the risk of upward displacement and obtaining a more natural appearance of the breast. Placing the implant under the pectoralis major muscle generally provides a superior, more authentic and lasting aesthetic result, while reducing the risk of capsular contracture following the insertion of a breast implant.
What is the Cost of Breast Augmentation?
Consider breast augmentation with implants in Tunisia for an affordable price of €2,600, including a 3-night stay and all fees related to the procedure (such as plastic surgeon, anesthesiologist, operating room, hospitalization, nursing staff, dressings and post-operative consultations), as well as transfers from the airport and accommodation in the clinic and hotel. Breast augmentation prices in Tunisia remain much more competitive than those in European and American countries. Opting for Tunisia for your breast augmentation means saving on your procedure while benefiting from the highest standards of hygiene, quality and professionalism.

Breast Augmentation in Tunisia: What Steps to Take Before the Operation?
Before scheduling your medical stay in Tunisia for breast implant placement, a blood test and a mammogram must be performed. Once you receive the results, you should send them to Tunisia Destination Santé to medically validate the procedure. Before the breast augmentation, you can also have the tests done in Tunisia. The surgeon will validate the procedure only after receiving the results.
What Post-Operative Care is Necessary After Breast Augmentation?
If the patient underwent the procedure under general anesthesia, it is imperative that they observe absolute rest until the next day. They are allowed to drink and eat light foods. The surgeon may administer analgesics or antibiotics. After the examination, the patient can return home the following day. A special, fairly wide bra should be worn for a certain amount of time (defined with the surgeon). Routine activities can be resumed after a week of rest.
For light sporting activities such as tennis, football and sailing, it is recommended to wait at least three weeks before resuming regular physical activity. For more intense sports such as swimming, dancing and jogging, it is best to wait at least six weeks. However, if the patient is physically active and the prosthesis has been implanted under the muscle, patience will be required, as the recovery process will be longer.
What are the Most Common Complications Associated with Breast Implant Placement?
Capsular Contracture
Breast implants are generally composed of silicone gel or saline solution, encased in a solid silicone shell. This material is recognized as “biocompatible”, but it still elicits a response from the body in the form of a foreign body reaction. This results in the formation of a thin fibrous membrane around the implant shell. Indeed, a kind of internal healing process takes place, creating a layer that surrounds the prosthesis. This layer is more adherent in the case of textured or polyurethane-coated implants than for smooth implants.
This “natural” envelope generally performs a positive function because it isolates the prostheses from the rest of the body and stabilizes them in the correct position, limiting the tendency of the implant to migrate downwards. In addition, in case of rupture, the dense barrier formed by this “film” prevents the gel from spreading rapidly into the surrounding tissues. Sometimes, however, the body’s reaction is not so bland and functional, and it can happen that thick and rigid periprosthetic capsules form, which tighten the prostheses until they become hard and deformed.
Implant Rupture
Breast implants, like any other prosthesis, undergo progressive wear and tear and sometimes rupture. To ensure a durable prosthesis, many elements must be taken into account. The quality of the prosthesis, the surgical methods, the type of incision, the location and depth of the implant, and the instruments used greatly influence the lifespan of the prosthesis. Thus, the lifespan of the prosthesis can vary considerably depending on these different factors.
When we consider the different characteristics of patients, such as their body tissue, their lifestyle or their potential to suffer trauma, as well as the intensity and duration of their sun exposure, and their willingness to follow medical recommendations, we find that these elements play an important role in the durability of a prosthesis. Therefore, it is not possible to determine in a general way whether a prosthesis can last 10, 15, 20 years or more, because each case is unique. We therefore recommend that specific examinations be carried out in case of doubt as to the possible rupture of a prosthesis.

What are the Long-Term Results of Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation with prostheses generally gives very good results and great satisfaction for both the patient and the surgeon who performs it. The result obtained is durable, but it cannot be considered completely permanent, as it is subject to the normal aging processes of the body and the effects of gravity. As for scarring, the most commonly used incisions in breast augmentation surgery are those at the level of the areola, the inframammary fold or the axillary region. The scars are not very visible, as they are discreetly concealed along the contour of the areola or in the natural folds of the skin under the arm or breast.
Breast Augmentation in Tunisia: Before and After
The before and after results are often impressive when the chosen implant size is proportional to the patient’s build. It is important to discuss with the surgeon and ask them all the questions concerning breast augmentation with implants so that the result obtained meets your expectations.
Should a Lift Be Combined with Breast Augmentation?
With breast augmentation in Tunisia, and in the case of weight loss or loss of volume in the mammary glands, it is recommended to combine the procedure with a breast lift for better support. In this case, the combined price of breast augmentation plus a lift will be 2500 EUR for 3 nights.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why have breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the breasts. The reasons may vary: some women wish to increase the size of their breasts for aesthetic reasons, while others seek to correct asymmetries or to regain volume after pregnancy or weight loss. Breast surgery can also be a solution after a mastectomy.
Which surgeon should I choose for breast augmentation?
For breast augmentation, you must choose a qualified and experienced surgeon. Therefore, look for a specialist in plastic and cosmetic surgery, check their certifications and consult the opinions of their former patients. In addition, good communication and a trusting relationship with your surgeon are essential for the success of the procedure.
What are the consultations before breast augmentation?
Before breast augmentation, several consultations are necessary. The surgeon thus assesses the general state of health, discusses expectations and possible options. Subsequently, they explain the techniques, types of prostheses, positions (in front of or behind the muscle) and possible scars. Note that the cosmetic doctor performs a complete medical examination in order to minimize operative risks.
Which scar should I choose for breast augmentation?
The choice of breast augmentation scar depends on several factors: the patient’s anatomy, the type of implant, and the surgical technique. Scars can be placed around the areola, in the inframammary fold or in the armpit. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages that the surgeon will detail.
What to choose: in front of or behind the muscle?
Placing the implants in front of or behind the pectoral muscle depends on the patient’s morphology and the desired result. In front of the muscle allows for faster recovery, while behind offers a more natural look for certain morphologies. The surgeon will help choose the best option.
How is breast augmentation performed?
Generally, breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 1 and 2 hours. The surgeon makes an incision, inserts the implants, and then closes the incisions. Finally, the doctor applies dressings and a support bra to promote healing.
What type of anesthesia for breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is usually performed under general anesthesia. This ensures total comfort during the operation. However, in certain specific cases, the surgeon may consider local anesthesia with sedation.
What is the pain after breast augmentation?
The pain after breast augmentation varies depending on the patient. In general, it is moderate and well controlled by prescribed analgesics. Nevertheless, the first few weeks can be uncomfortable, but the pain gradually decreases. Indeed, sensations of tightness and pressure are frequent.
What are the operative risks associated with breast augmentation?
Like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries risks: infection, hematoma, poor healing, and reactions to implants. This is why it is important to discuss these risks with the surgeon and follow all pre- and post-operative recommendations.
What size for breast augmentation?
The choice of implant size depends on the patient’s wishes and their body proportions. In addition, the surgeon helps to choose a size that offers a natural and harmonious result.
What is the relationship between breast augmentation and final bra size?
Breast augmentation can change the bra size, but it is crucial to focus on the proportion and balance with the rest of the body. The surgeon will use prosthesis trials to help you visualize the final result.
Which brand of breast implant to choose?
There are several quality brands of breast implants. In general, the choice will depend on the surgeon’s preferences and the specific characteristics of each patient. Note that recognized brands ensure increased safety and durability.
How to get reimbursed for breast augmentation?
Generally, breast augmentation for aesthetic purposes is not covered by social security. However, in the case of reconstruction after a mastectomy, it may be partially or fully covered. However, check with your mutual insurance company for additional options.
What bra to wear after breast augmentation?
After breast augmentation, wearing a support bra is crucial. Indeed, it helps to keep the implants in place, reduces swelling and promotes healing. The surgeon will recommend the most suitable model.
What can you do after breast augmentation?
After breast augmentation, you must follow the surgeon’s recommendations. In this sense, avoid strenuous physical exertion for the first few weeks. Then gradually resume your normal activities while respecting post-operative instructions for optimal recovery.
What is the lifespan of a breast implant?
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. Their average lifespan is 10 to 15 years, but they can last longer without problems. Regular check-ups with your surgeon are important to monitor the condition of the implants and decide on any possible replacement procedure.
