What is breast augmentation with implants?

Breast augmentation with implants involves enlarging the breasts using high-quality silicone pads. These are inserted through small, strategically placed incisions and permanently shape the breast – with an absolutely natural look and feel.

Depending on your individual wishes, physique and tissue, Alejandro Marti can provide you with round or anatomical implants – always tailored to your goals and your anatomy.

Premium implants & B-Lite - which ones suit you?

At BONITAS, you can only choose from certified premium implants – from leading manufacturers of aesthetic plastic surgery. Two options are particularly popular:

Close-up of breast implants with smooth and textured surfaces

Premium silicone implants

  • Filled with cohesive silicone gel (“memory gel”)
  • Particularly dimensionally stable, but soft to the touch
  • Available in various shapes (round, drop-shaped)
  • Many years of clinical use

B-Lite lightweight implants

  • Up to 30 % lighter than conventional implants
  • Relieves the breast tissue - ideal for delicate connective tissue or a sporty lifestyle
  • Same dimensional stability & esthetics as standard implants
  • Less “feeling of heaviness”, less strain in everyday life

During your personal consultation with Alejandro Marti, you will find out which implant suits you best.

Implant placement techniques

  • Subglandular (in front of the pectoral muscle): if sufficient breast tissue is present
  • Subfascial (under the muscle skin): ideal for physically active patients
  • Submuscular (under the pectoral muscle): for particularly natural results with a slim figure

Advantages of breast augmentation with implants

  • Large selection of shape, size and implant type
  • Precise before and after planning
  • Immediately visible results
  • Long-lasting effect
  • Also ideal for breast asymmetry or reconstruction after surgery

  • Follow the aftercare recommendations from BONITAS exactly

Risks and side effects

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved:

  • Swelling, bruising, feeling of tension
  • Capsular contracture (hardening of the connective tissue capsule)
  • Sensitivity changes (usually temporary)
  • Implant rotation or postoperative bleeding

We will inform you transparently about all eventualities in a personal meeting.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

The cost of breast augmentation with implants varies depending on the type of implant, surgical technique, clinic standard and aftercare concept. High-quality implants – e.g. with a textured surface, lifelong guarantee or anatomical shape – are more expensive. The surgeon’s professional qualifications and close aftercare also influence the price. At BONITAS, we value medical quality and individual planning – for lasting results.

As a guideline, breast augmentation with implants starts from €6,500 (physician’s fee). You can find all surgical prices in our price overview.

Modern silicone implants are considered long-lasting and do not need to be routinely replaced after 10 years. Many premium implants are designed to last for several decades and some manufacturers even offer lifelong guarantees. Replacement is only necessary in the event of complications such as capsular fibrosis, implant rupture or a desire for resizing. Regular medical check-ups are recommended to ensure the integrity of the implants.

Despite high safety standards, breast augmentation with implants is a surgical procedure with potential risks. These include capsular fibrosis (hardening due to connective tissue reaction), post-operative bleeding, infection or changes in sensitivity. Regular check-ups are also necessary to detect implant wear at an early stage. A later replacement operation may be necessary. Thorough information and careful surgical planning – as at BONITAS – significantly minimize these risks.

Breast implants differ in shape (round vs. anatomical), surface (smooth vs. textured) and filling material (usually cohesive silicone gel). Round implants emphasize the cleavage more, while anatomical (teardrop-shaped) implants create a more natural breast shape. The texture influences tissue attachment and can reduce the risk of capsular fibrosis. The choice depends on body type, desired shape and skin texture – an individual consultation is essential.

The visibility of the scars depends on the location of the incision (e.g. underbust crease, areola, armpit) and the size of the implant. Smaller implants can often be inserted with shorter incisions. Scars in the underbust crease are usually barely visible in an upright position. Precise suturing techniques, a customized choice of implant and good aftercare – including scar care – can largely prevent noticeable scarring.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Marti! I had a breast augmentation with my own fat as well as a belly button correction done with him. In addition, an umbilical hernia was corrected by another surgeon, together in one operation. I am so happy with the result! It looks really natural and I am simply infinitely grateful! From the very beginning I always felt comfortable, taken seriously and in the best hands. I would especially like to point out that Dr. Marti was the first doctor to recognize my umbilical hernia and immediately recommended a further examination, which I found very attentive and extremely competent. Whenever I had questions or uncertainties I was always helped right away, which I appreciated a lot. I would also like to give very special praise to Jasmin: so friendly, empathetic and dedicated. She made the whole process even more pleasant and took a lot off my shoulders ❤️ Thank you so much for everything!

While looking for a breast augmentation, I came across BONITAS through my online research. The website immediately gave me a good feeling. Reputable, modern, simply trustworthy. This positive feeling was confirmed from the very first moment. Dr. Marti is an exceptionally empathetic doctor who takes a lot of time, listens and responds to all wishes and questions with calm and great professionalism. The explanation was thorough, understandable and took away all of my fear. From the beginning I felt taken seriously and very well cared for. The practice is beautiful and very invitingly designed. You immediately feel comfortable and welcome. The operation itself went absolutely smoothly, and the result far exceeded my expectations. I am overjoyed and could not have imagined a nicer result. A very special thank you also goes to his assistant: incredibly warm, loving and at the same time highly professional. I am infinitely grateful that I chose BONITAS, and would recommend this clinic as well as Dr. Marti at any time and from the bottom of my heart. Muchísimas gracias 🙂 <3

For several years I had the strong wish for a breast augmentation or rather a breast correction, I went again and again to one or another plastic surgeon for a consultation appointment. I always came away with little hope and great doubts.. since my starting situation was not really easy, none of the previous surgeons was really keen to operate on me. Until I came across Dr.Marti in 06/2025 over the internet, and at the first appointment I was more than surprised, and so for the first time I had a good gut feeling after an appointment like that, he did not put dreams in front of my eyes, but rather what you can simply expect in this case or rather what is possible. He fulfilled my big wish for a natural result 100%. Mr. Marti's assistant also accompanied me lovingly along this path. 4 weeks later the operation took place, which went smoothly. The aftercare appointments were all very relaxed and pleasantly arranged too. The stay at the clinic was unique as well. I can recommend Dr. Marti from the deepest of my heart, he has given me back my self confidence and did not promise too much. I would let him operate on me again at any time.
