We Are Breast Augmentation Specialists

Over the past three decades, Wellness Kliniek has gained a reputation for being the best breast augmentation clinic in Europe. Thanks to patented surgical instruments and the MIBIS technique, Wellness Kliniek can offer patients top-quality implants, aesthetically pleasing results, and fast recovery periods.

Wellness Kliniek’s expert plastic surgeons have developed and perfected the Minimally Invasive Breast Implant Surgery (MIBIS) technique. This technique allows them to insert breast implants in the safest, cleanest way possible. Our surgeons create small incisions (typically 2cms to 3cms) to guarantee the best aesthetic outcome with minimal scars and complications.

Whether you envision a discreet, natural-looking boob job or a large breast enhancement, we have a specialist surgeon for you. Over 50,000 women have chosen Wellness Kliniek for their breast augmentation procedure.

If you want to learn more about the quality procedures, recovery times, and costs associated with the MIBIS technique, check out our blog article. You can also browse through our breast augmentation before & after pictures to see how your post-operative breasts might look.

Everything You Need to Know About Breast Implants

Breast implant surgery involves inserting an implant above or below the chest muscle. The position of the implant depends on lots of factors, all of which you can discuss with one of our surgeons during your consultation. Thousands of women travel to Wellness Kliniek every year to consult with our specialist surgeons about breast implants. Each surgeon on our team has years of experience and always stays up to date on the latest methods, procedures, and hygiene standards.

Our surgeons are pinoeers of the MIBIS technique. They create the smallest incision possible, which is typically 2 to 3 cms. This technique reduces the amount of stress on the patient’s body and creates fewer scars. We have inserted over 50,000 implants using the MIBIS technique. Browse through our breast implants before and after page to see what your enhancement could look like.

Suitable Candidates For Breast Implant Surgery

Breast implants do create a fuller silhouette but do not repair sagging and droopiness. In certain situations, a breast augmentation can still improve the look of your breasts. If your breasts have what we call a grade 1 level of sagging, breast implants may be able to create your desired outcome. In cases like this, we suggest opting for implants with a breast lift.

Here are some candidates guidelines.

Anyone under the age of 18 is not a suitable candidate because women’s breasts continue to develop into their 20s.
We only consider patients that are in decent physical condition. When patients exercise regularly and consume the right nutrients they have a better post-operation outcome.
Women who are either pregnant or breastfeeding should not have breast implants because they can disrupt milk ducts.
You are a suitable candidate for breast augmentation surgery when your breast and nipple are positioned above the breast fold.
We can only perform the surgery six weeks after breastfeeding has stopped.
Anyone who is fighting infection is not a suitable candidate for implant surgery.

If your breasts have a grade 1 (or higher) grade of sagging, a breast augmentation could still be an option. However, you might have to consider having a breast lift after your implant surgery.

How Much Are Breast Implants?

Breast implant costs vary from clinic to clinic.

Our specialist surgeons have years of experience. They are leading experts in the field and have even developed the revolutionary MIBIS technique for breast implant surgery. We do not boast about offering the cheapest breast implant prices. Instead, we focus on quality and transparency.

Patients can choose implants that are between 200ccs and 500ccs for EUR 2750. Our breast implant costs are comprehensive. The implants, medical fee, anaesthesia, and aftercare costs are included in the price.

Patients can visit our breast implant costs page to find a full breakdown of the prices associated with travelling to Wellness Kliniek. We offer our patients a sliding scale of options that allows them to achieve their dream breast augmentation whilst staying within their budget.

What to Expect?

Breast implant recovery looks different for everyone. When it comes to the recovery period, it is important to speak to the experts. Women all over the world travel to Wellness Kliniek because our aftercare is free of charge. Our experts can guide you through the recovery period and help to create a positive postoperative outcome.

The healing process can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Some women will heal quicker, while others will need to adopt a more relaxed day-to-day routine for many months. If you have any concerns or questions, our consultants are always on hand to help.

Type of Implants

Silicone Breast Implants

Most women choose silicone for natural-looking breast implants. Silicone implants are soft to the touch, which is why many patients report that their silicone implant feels like real breast tissue. For this reason, silicone gel is more expensive than the other alternatives on the market. Whether you want small implants or 500cc implants, silicone can provide you with a natural, full look.

Silicone implants have a strong, reliable shell that is filled with a solid silicone mass. Unlike the other materials we offer, silicone breast implants have a semisolid state. This means that they will change shape when handled and will return to their original state within seconds.

One of the main benefits of choosing silicone implants is that they do not immediately leak if the shell ruptures. Some women are wary of silicone implants because ruptures are difficult to spot. When ruptures happen, the gel drains slowly. Silicone gel is not compatible with the human body, which means that the implant needs to be removed immediately.

Hydrogel Breast Implants

Hydrogel breast implants have been around for more than 30 years. Hydrogel is a biomaterial that is created using naturally occurring proteins that are commonly found in the body. The implant is coated in tissue that is comparable to breast tissue in texture and appearance.

Hydrogel implants are part of the push towards natural biomaterials instead of synthetic materials like silicone. At Wellness Kliniek, we use Monobloc Hydrogel implants because they are of high quality and reliable. Women choose hydrogel implants when they want a natural look and feel.

Saline Breast Implants

Saline breast implants come with an outer shell that is made of silicone. The shell is inserted into the breast while it is empty. Once inserted, surgeons fill the shell with sterile salt water. Women who want small, unobtrusive incisions choose saline implants.

Unlike silicone implants, when saline implants rupture there is no need for emergency surgery. Because the human body is over 70% saline (saltwater), saline leaks do not pose a serious threat to life. Saline will drain out of the implant quickly, which means that you will always notice a rupture.

We do not recommend saline breast implants for women who have little breast tissue. Women who have little breast tissue are at higher risk of experiencing what is called a saline implant ripple. The ripple effect looks akin to how the surface of water looks when immense winds travel across it. Poor practices like not filling the silicone shell properly can cause the ripple effect.

Size and Profile of Breast Implants: Low, Medium, High, Extra High

Breast implant sizes are most commonly measured by volume in cubic centimetres (cc) and by the profile. Most manufactures create 4 different breast implant profiles: low, medium, high, and extra high.

The base (diameter) of the implant becomes smaller as the profile increases.

Choosing the right width and height is as important as the actual volume of the implant. During the consultation, your surgeon will assist you in finding the best choice to achieve your desired outcome.

Textures of Breast Implants: Smooth, Textured, Micro Texture

In the last few decades, breast implant manufacturers realised that the texture of implants has an impact on their behaviour and the aesthetic result.

Smooth implants have a thinner surface than other implants. As a result, they feel more natural than textured implant shells. Patients report that these implants feel smooth and soft. Because of the lack of texture on these implants, they can move more freely. They are more likely to rupture and rip, and in some cases can migrate and flip upside down.

Textured implants are thick and rough and feel firmer. The textured surface locks the implant into place and allows for little to no movement. This means that patients who choose textured implants do not have to worry about them moving, migrating, or flipping. We recommend these implants for women who have larger implants as they are less likely to rip. Some patients report that textured implants feel unnatural when lying down.

It is important to note that textured implants have been linked to anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), an uncommon cancer that originates in the immune system and affects 1 in 500,000 patients.

In the early 2000s, breast implant manufacturers set out to combine the best of both smooth and textured implants. The micro-textured implant was born. This implant has a softer, more natural feel yet it does not allow for free movement. It has proven itself to be the most reliable and best-suited implant for most patients.

Most Common Brands of Breast Implants: Marion, Motiva, Mentor, Natrelle

Arion’s French-made Monobloc SoftOne is the go-to implant for most patients at Wellness Kliniek. They play a vital role in the MIBIS technique. For an implant to fit through a 2-3cm incision, it needs to be very elastic, retain its shape, and be resistant to ruptures. Arion implants are one of the best choices for women who value safety and a soft, natural feel.

Motivate Implants by Establishment Labs are one of the most recent newcomers to the high-end implant market. This Costa Rican company has gained popularity worldwide. Their implants are more firm and rigid than Arion implants, which is why we do not recommend them for women who want the MIBIS technique. We recommend these implants for women who want a large breast enhancement.

Mentor and Natrelle are the two largest implant manufacturers in the world. They are owned by two giant pharmaceutical companies and each has a strong RnD team. Both brands have a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive implants. Thanks to their immense supply chain, they can provide great quality implants at competitive prices.

Breast Implant Shapes

Teardrop Implants (Anatomical)

Here are the main characteristics of teardrop breast implants.

Natural-looking breast shape
Filled with form-stable gel
Tailored to each patient
Contain a form-stable gel
Weigh on average 20% less than round implants with the same width

Teardrop breast implants are also called anatomical implants. As the name suggests, this type of implant has a flatter upper half and a fuller bottom half. These natural-looking breast implants are perfect for women who need reconstructive surgery. They are also a popular choice for women with asymmetrical and tubular breasts.

Round Implants

These are the main characteristics of round breast implants.

Symmetrical
Contain liquid gel
Aesthetically pleasing

Round breast implants are the most popular choice in the UK. Round implants have a shell that contains either silicone gel or saline. Unlike form-stable teardrop implants, the material inside round implants moves freely. They are softer and more natural to touch than hard, anatomical implants.

The placement of the implant dictates what sort of outcome patients can expect. By taking a submuscular approach, our surgeons can create a natural-looking breast enhancement. One of the benefits of choosing round breast implants over anatomical implants is that they are entirely symmetrical. If teardrop implants rotate they will create an asymmetrical shape whereas round implants will always maintain their symmetrical appearance.

Step by Step

Consultation

During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start by asking you what you expect from your surgery.

Your surgeon will then perform a medical examination to assess whether your chest is suitable to accommodate the breast implants.

To decide which implant fits best with your figure, you are going to try different sizes and models. Based on this, your surgeon will be able to give you an idea of which type of implant and incision location is appropriate for your desired outcome.

make an appointment for a consult

Surgery

Your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation. This stops you from feeling pain and puts you under a state of unconsciousness. Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to start having an effect. Once asleep the surgeon will make a small incision (2-3 centimeters), thanks to our MIBIS technique, in the area agreed upon during the consultation. After placing both implants, the symmetry can be checked and adjusted. The incision will be closed with 3 layers of dissoluble sutures. The treatment ends with a tight compression bandage that is wrapped around your chest.

Immediate Recovery

After surgery, you'll be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by your anesthetist and nursing team. The anesthetist will start the wake-up process. Whilst you start to awake, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored. Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit enough to be brought home.

Aftercare & Recovery

To assure optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These may vary from patient to patient.

Every patient recovers differently from a breast augmentation. Usually, you will feel a bit sore for the first couple of days. After that, you will be able to re-join work and carry out light physical activities. The swelling and bruising will usually last 2-3 weeks after surgery. After 3 to 9 months, the scar should nearly be invisible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect? What is normal?

Muscle pain in the rib cage and in the back, pain and a burning or stabbing sensation in the wounds, swollen breasts, bruising and hematomas. You may feel more discomfort in one breast.

Which implant is best for me?

In consultation with your plastic surgeon, you determine which Monobloc Silicone SoftOne implant, in terms of shape, profile and volume will give the best results for you. We take your body shape and your wishes into account. You choose the shape and volume yourself.

How big are the scars?

A large incision is not necessary! Each prosthesis can be inserted through an incision measuring about 1.2 inch / 3 cm = Minimally Invasive Breast Implant Surgery. In consultation with the doctor, you determine yourself where the incision will be made: round the areola, in the fold under the breast or in the cavity of the armpit. A small incision round the areola or under the breast is the least visible in the long term, so that one can hardly tell that you have implants.

When will I be able to see the final result?

The healing process lasts at least 3-6 months. The final result will only be visible after this time.

Can a breast implant cause cancer?

No. No other type of implant (hip, knee, etc.) has been the subject of so much research to demonstrate its safety as breast implants have. Dozens of studies have been performed in multiple countries. Seven long-term studies have also been conducted that show that there is no connection between breast cancer, autoimmune diseases or system diseases.

Are silicone implants really safe?

It has never been scientifically proven that silicone breast implants cause breast cancer, rheumatism or immunity disorders. It is true that the prostheses used to be filled with a liquid silicone gel. If there is a tear in the implant's shell then the gel could leak out and spread into the body. Fortunately this was in the past!Modern silicone implants have a strong silicone wall and are filled with a firm silicone mass. If there is a tear in the wall the solid gel doesn't leak into the body.

How long can the implants stay in place?

Many women have had their original implants for more than 20 years. If you consider that the quality of present day implants has significantly improved, you can assume that the majority of patients benefit from their procedure for many years, even for the rest of their lives. Prostheses with a weaker shell are not used, not even if the patient insists on a cheaper alternative.

Are yearly check-ups necessary?

No. High quality breast prostheses carry less risk of complications. As a result, unless otherwised specified by the surgeon, a routine yearly check-up is unnecessary. If you are going to have a mammography, don’t forget to mention that you have breast implants.

Can I still breastfeed after a breast enlargement?

Yes. After a breast enlargement you are still capable of breastfeeding.

My breast makes a strange sound

It is possible that you will feel or hear a rustling if you touch your breast(s). This rustling is caused by air bubbles that are (still) present around the implant. The rustling will disappear by itself a few days after the operation.

Which implants are most suitable?

Liquid silicone leakage is a much-debated issue. Although scientific studies show that it poses no danger to your health, surgeons at the Wellness Kliniek prefer to opt for non-liquid, high-cohesive gel implants. Due to the high-cohesive silicone filling the content does not leak. With this type of implant the risk of leakage is therefore virtually excluded.

Can I choose the size of my breast implants?

Yes. The consultant surgeon will examine you during the consultation to help you decide the size and shape, in order to give you the optimum result you wish for.

So why all the fuss about PIP?

PIP implants were cheap implants, generally used by surgeons who wanted to keep costs down. The PIP manufacturer faked the CE label and made sure that everything was in order for the certification procedures. However thanks to the recurring annual inspections the swindlers were eventually caught. PIP implants were never used in the Wellness Kliniek!

What is capsular contracture?

The body considers an implant to be a foreign material. This means that once breast implants are inserted, they are surrounded by a thin layer of binding tissue. This is called the capsule and is the body's natural reaction.

What is excessive capsular contracture?

Capsular contracture is a normal process but in some cases there is excessive capsular contracture. Symptoms of excessive capsular contracture are hard and deformed breasts, which may also be painful. Excessive capsular contraction is more common with implants with smooth shells. This is why we prefer to use implants with a rough surface at the Wellness Kliniek.

Is there a risk of leakage?

Monobloc SoftOne implants are made from One single block. The implant doesn’t have any bonded seams. This means there is very little risk of leakage. This makes Monobloc one of the safest implants on the market.

Where will the implant be placed?

Location of the breast implant: - the pocket - is chosen with care. Each breast implant can either be implanted above or underneath the muscle. A mixed pocket (dual plane) usually gives the most beautiful results.

Do I need to wear a special bra after the treatment?

After the operation, it is important that you wear an unshaped bra, not an underwired bra, to properly distribute any pressure on the mammary gland and implant. You must wear this bra up to 6 weeks after the operation. You can purchase the special post-operative (sports) bra at the Wellness Kliniek.

How long before I can take a shower?

The wounds and the bandage must be kept dry until all the stitches have been removed. You can only take a full shower 3 weeks after your procedure. Make sure you dry yourself properly after showering and immediately put on your sports bra. You can take a bath 6 weeks after your procedure.

I have a fever following the operation. Is this normal?

It is possible that you have a higher temperature the first couple of days after the treatment. This is the body's normal reaction to the operation. If however, you still have a higher temperature a week after the operation or if your temperature is higher than 38.5 °C, it is best to contact us.

The scar appears to have been badly stitched

The edges of the wound may have been stitched making them look wrinkled. This special stitching technique is used to ensure a minimum of unsightly scars and produce an optimal end result. In time this wrinkled result will disappear.

Does the feeling come back by itself?

Your nipples may be more sensitive, less sensitive or sometimes lack any feeling at all. This will usually return to normal.

When will I see the permanent scar?

The scar may appear inflamed and thicker for the first 3 months. The redness will then gradually reduce and it will soften and lighten. It usually takes between 12 and 18 months to fade completely. If you have pigmented (darker) skin, the colour of the scar will be darker.

When can I sunbathe again?

To achieve a beautiful end result it is important that you protect the scars from the sun or a sunbed. Apply a high protection factor suncream for the first 12 months.

How can I avoid any complications?

To avoid the risk of infection, it is important that you keep the wounds clean and dry until they are fully healed. To reduce the risk of blood circulation problems, we advised you to stop smoking before the operation. Stop smoking for at least 4 weeks.

Can I choose my future bra size?

You explain to the surgeon what size you would like your breasts to be. At the intake consultation you tell the surgeon what you want. The surgeon then calculates the volume, the shape and the projection. The surgeon determines the shape of the implant and calculates the volume. Not just the shape and volume are important but the profile (projection) of the implant all determine the end result. Silicone prostheses are available in: round low profile, round high pofile, round extra high profile, anatomical and tear-drop shaped.

Do anatomical or tear-drop shaped implants give a more natural end result?

Anatomical and tear-drop shaped implants are sometimes desirable if you just need 1 breast implant. The disadvantage of tear-drop shaped and anatomical implants is that their centre of gravity is low which means that the breasts could become saggy over time.Our extensive experience has shown that the best shape can be achieved with round implants.You don't see the round shape under the skin or breast tissue and it ensures the most natural base. Dependng on your preference you can choose from a low, high or extra high projection.

Is it true that the implants sometimes have to be removed?

In some cases, the body forms a hard capsule around the implant: The breasts become hard and are painful. Usually the surgeon can remove the capsule under intravenous sedation. Unfortunately the implants are sometimes damaged and have to be replaced. Implants with a rough surface have less risk of capsular contracture. The body can also reject the implants. Rejection and capsular contracture is rare. Normally everything goes smoothly and you will most likely enjoy your implants for many years to come.
