Breast Surgery

Breast augmentation with implants

Restore volume and improve shape with implants chosen and placed for your anatomy, for a fuller breast that still looks like you.

What it is

Breast augmentation with implants increases breast size and improves shape using a breast implant placed behind the breast tissue or muscle. It is one of the most established procedures in aesthetic surgery and is chosen to add volume, restore fullness lost after pregnancy or weight change, or improve proportion and symmetry.

At Skulpturkliniken a range of implants is available, including Motiva Ergonomix and Ergonomix2, Mentor round and teardrop, and Polytech B-Lite lightweight implants. The right device, size, profile, and placement (subglandular, subfascial, or dual-plane) are chosen for your tissue and goals, since no single implant suits everyone.

The result depends as much on planning as on the implant itself. The aim is a fuller breast in natural proportion to your frame, not the largest possible size. All surgery carries risks, and results vary between patients.

What it can improve

  • Breast volume and fullness
  • Volume loss after pregnancy or weight change
  • Upper-pole fullness and cleavage
  • Mild asymmetry in size or shape
  • Overall proportion and balance

It does not lift significantly drooping breasts, which usually need a breast lift, and it does not improve skin quality, stretch marks, or large shape differences on its own.

Quick facts

  • Procedure time: Usually 1–2 hours
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia or deep sedation
  • Clinic stay: Same-day discharge in most cases
  • Recovery: Around 1–2 weeks before light daily activity
  • Exercise: Strenuous activity avoided for 4–6 weeks
  • Final result: Settles over 2–3 months
  • Price: Determined after consultation

Before the procedure

You will receive detailed instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, alcohol, fasting, and tests. Implant choice is planned together using measurements and sizing so the device fits your frame, with placement and incision chosen to suit your tissue.

During the procedure

Surgery is performed under anesthesia through a discreet incision, usually in the breast fold or around the areola. The implant is placed in the planned pocket with attention to symmetry, position, and natural drape, then the incision is closed in layers.

After the procedure

Swelling, tightness, and tenderness are normal and ease over the first weeks. A support bra is worn as advised, light walking is encouraged early, and exercise is reintroduced gradually. The breasts often sit high at first and settle into a softer, more natural position over a few months.

Results: what it can and cannot achieve

A fuller, better-proportioned breast is achievable. Augmentation cannot guarantee an exact cup size, cannot lift heavy sagging, and cannot stop the breast from aging. Implants do not last a lifetime, so future replacement or removal should be expected.

Possible risks and complications

Augmentation is generally safe in experienced hands, but all surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:

  • Bleeding or hematoma
  • Infection
  • Changes in nipple or skin sensation
  • Capsular contracture
  • Rippling, malposition, or implant rotation
  • Asymmetry or unsatisfactory shape
  • Implant rupture over time
  • Rare association with implant-related illness, discussed at consultation
  • Need for future surgery

Smoking, diabetes, and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems, so careful assessment and smoking cessation are essential.

Why Skulpturkliniken

Breast surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso

Augmentation at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose reconstructive microsurgery background gives him a precise command of anatomy and symmetry, the foundation for safe, natural results.

Natural, balanced results

Dr. Amoroso plans augmentation around proportion, not maximum size. Implant choice, profile, and placement are selected so the breast suits your frame and moves naturally, with a result planned with restraint.

Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment

The relationship between patient and surgeon should rest on trust and honest communication. From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso helps you understand which implant and placement suit you, what is realistic, and whether surgery is right at all.

Individualized assessment

Every augmentation begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate:

  • Breast width, height, and existing tissue
  • Skin quality and degree of sagging
  • Chest wall and frame proportions
  • Nipple position and symmetry
  • Implant type, size, profile, and placement
  • Your goals and lifestyle

The best surgeon

I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with Matteo Amoroso, and I can honestly say I couldn't have wished for a better surgeon. From the moment I met Matteo, I felt the sense of security I was looking for. He was kind, attentive, and professional from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions, which made me feel well-informed before the surgery. I never had to go home and wonder about anything because he was so thorough in his explanations. It's now been three weeks since my surgery, and even though the healing process is still ongoing, I'm already incredibly happy with the result. The change is greater than I had dared to hope for, and I feel so grateful that I chose Matteo. I have more surgeries I want to undergo in the future, and there's no doubt that Matteo will be my first choice then too. I warmly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

A pro

I've had two surgeries with Matteo. The first was liposuction on my stomach, and most recently, my eyes – specifically, my lower eyelids and eyebrows. Matteo suggested a unique technique for my eyebrows that no other surgeon had proposed. This allowed me to remove excess skin under my eyebrows without needing an eyebrow or forehead lift, which I wasn't interested in. I'm extremely happy with the results of both my procedures. Matteo is a true professional; he loves his work, and you're always met with kindness and genuine care. He's an excellent communicator, explaining everything clearly and answering all questions and concerns. You feel completely confident in his knowledge and experience. Matteo also has a wonderful ability to make you feel understood; he listens carefully and is just as dedicated and invested as you are in achieving a successful procedure and outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Matteo. I've had surgery 6 times in total, with the last two being with him. Whatever my next procedure may be, I will undoubtedly choose Matteo first again.

The best surgeon

Matteo is an incredibly skilled surgeon whom I highly recommend. I underwent a major tummy tuck, and from the very first consultation, Matteo was professional, calm, and very accessible. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel secure, involved, and well-informed throughout the entire process. He thoroughly explained the procedure, recovery, and what results I could expect, which gave me great confidence going into the surgery. Everything went very well without any complications, and I am very happy with the result. I would undoubtedly choose Matteo again if I were to have more procedures in the future.

The best choice for a plastic surgeon!

Dr. Amoroso has performed several operations on me, including a neck and facelift with fat grafting, a lip lift, eyelid surgery, breast and tummy tucks, and liposuction on my knees. All operations have been successful and exceeded my expectations. I have worked with doctors for 50 years and am very impressed by Dr. Amoroso's artistry and skill. He is truly an asset to this profession and to patients who desire excellent results and the peace of mind that comes from being cared for in a responsible and professional manner.

Successful 360 lipo

Matteo is the best surgeon I could ever imagine. I am beyond satisfied. Both the care I received and the results of the 360 liposuction Matteo performed on me have been absolutely fantastic. It couldn't have been better! Everything has exceeded my expectations. Matteo is professional, skilled, competent, caring, reassuring, and experienced. Thank you, Matteo!
