Breast Augmentation Frankfurt

Natural breast augmentation with implants or own fat – at Dr. Nichlos

For many women, beautifully shaped breasts are an important part of their femininity and play a major role in their self-esteem. If they feel they are too small, are bothered by an asymmetrical shape or simply do not meet their expectations, their satisfaction and self-esteem suffer. Women often no longer feel comfortable in their own skin and hide their cleavage.

With breast augmentation, modern plastic and aesthetic surgery offers the possibility of adapting the size and shape of the natural breasts to individual wishes. The aim is for you to feel comfortable and feminine in your body and to be able to wear your favorite clothes to your heart’s content.

However, breast augmentation – whether with implants or autologous fat – requires a great deal of expertise to ensure that your breasts blend harmoniously into your silhouette. You are in the best hands with Dr. Nichlos. The experienced plastic surgeon regularly performs the operation and will be happy to advise you on the options for augmentation in your case without obligation.

More Information

What is breast augmentation?

In breast surgery, breast augmentation is primarily used to increase breast volume in the case of breasts that are perceived as too small or sagging, as well as to even out breasts of different sizes. However, it can also be used to remodel the shape of the breasts and give the patient a new body image with a more feminine silhouette.

Dr. Nichlos Facharzt für Plastische & Ästhetische Chirurgie

Breast Augmentation Specialist in Frankfurt

Dr. Emmanouil Nichlos has specialized in breast augmentation for over 17 years and has extensive experience in aesthetic breast surgery.

With a keen sense of proportion and natural forms, Dr. Nichlos achieves aesthetic and harmonious results. During the recovery phase, patients who have recently undergone surgery receive personalized care, and Dr. Nichlos is available at any time, even around the clock, if needed.

What are the reasons for getting breast augmentation surgery?

The reasons for wanting breast augmentation are very diverse. By far the most common is that women simply feel their breasts are too small and therefore desire a fuller, more feminine bust that creates a voluptuous décolletage and eliminates the need for aids such as push-up bras.

Sometimes, however, breasts that have become saggy or droopy due to significant weight loss or pregnancy prompt women to explore breast augmentation and/or a breast lift more closely.

Other reasons include asymmetry between the two breasts, which can often be effectively corrected with breast augmentation. Even after breast surgery (such as tumor removal), breast augmentation offers the opportunity to restore lost volume and return the breast to its feminine shape.

Breast augmentation - Dr. Nichlos consultation with patient

What are the options for breast augmentation in Frankfurt?

For breast augmentation, we use two methods that have proven effective in plastic surgery: implants and autologous fat. Both procedures have their own specific advantages. Which method is best for you depends, among other things, on the degree of augmentation you desire.

What incision technique does Dr. Nichlos use for breast augmentation?

Schnitt in der Unterbrustfalte (inframammär)

Incision in the inframammary fold

This is by far the most common approach used in breast augmentation—and for good reason. The incision, which is only about 3–4 cm long, runs virtually invisibly along the natural crease beneath the breast. Through this clearly visible surgical field, Dr. Nichlos can place the implant within the breast with millimeter precision. The milk ducts and nipple nerves remain unaffected, so breastfeeding is still possible and sensation in the nipple is preserved.

Schnitt am Brustwarzenhof (periareolär)

Incision around the areola (periareolar)

With this approach, Dr. Nichlos makes a semicircular incision along the lower edge of the areola. If healing proceeds without complications, the scar will be barely visible later on. However, with this approach, it is unavoidable that some of the breast tissue will be cut through. This increases the risk of sensory disturbances. Breastfeeding ability may also be affected. Dr. Nichlos therefore recommends this approach only in specific cases, such as when the areola also needs to be reduced and the patient has completed her family planning.

Schnitt in der Achselhöhle (transaxillär)

Incision in the armpit (transaxillary)

With the transaxillary incision technique, the breast itself remains completely scar-free. Here, Dr. Nichlos makes the incision in the axillary crease to gain access. He guides the implant to the correct position through a small tunnel. This technique is technically very demanding, but routine for Dr. Nichlos. However, when replacing an implant, access often must be created via the inframammary fold. The transaxillary approach is ideal for women with very small breasts who lack a distinct inframammary fold and for patients who, for aesthetic reasons, desire a completely scar-free breast.

Which implant position is right for me?

Implants can be positioned in the breast in various ways. The position that is best for you depends on various factors, such as your body type, the thickness of your breast tissue, whether and how intensely you exercise, and your aesthetic preferences.

Breast augmentation Frankfurt: What happens before the operation?

Before your breast augmentation, you will come to our practice in Frankfurt for a thorough examination, where you will have a detailed consultation with Dr. Nichlos in a relaxed atmosphere.

The specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery will want to know why you have decided to have a breast augmentation and what you hope to gain from the operation. You will discuss the extent of your breast augmentation and whether the use of implants or autologous fat is the most suitable method for you. Dr. Nichlos can also show you before and after pictures of breast augmentations that have already been carried out.

Depending on which option you choose, the breast surgery procedure will change, which Dr. Nichlos will of course explain to you as well as the possible risks and complications and what you should pay attention to before and after the breast surgery.

Of course, you will also want to know what the costs of breast augmentation will be. As a rule, it is not possible to give you a fixed price. However, we will provide you with a customized quote in which you will find a clear list of all costs.

Procedure for breast augmentation with implants

Breast augmentation with silicone implants takes about 1-2 hours and is performed by us at the Berger Klinik exclusively under general anesthesia. Before inducing the anaesthetic, Dr. Nichlos will first mark out the areas for the operation. As soon as you are asleep, the actual operation begins. The specialist will first make the incisions to insert the implants into your breast. There are different approaches and types of incision: the incision is most commonly made in the underbust crease. The advantage of this is that the incision is barely visible later on. For implants with a smaller volume, an incision can also be made at the edge of the nipple. A third alternative is an incision in the armpit.

Regardless of the type of incision, a pocket is formed in the breast tissue during breast surgery into which the implants are inserted. These can be placed either under or over the pectoral muscle. Placement under the pectoral muscle has the advantage that the implants are less palpable later on and allows for a more natural shape. Placement above the muscle is associated with a shorter healing time, but is only possible if there is sufficient breast tissue.

Dr. Nichlos then inserts the implants under sterile conditions and checks their exact position and symmetry. Finally, he closes the wound with self-dissolving sutures and applies a bandage and compression bra.

What happens after breast augmentation?

In the first few days after your operation, you may experience slight swelling, bruising, tightness and pain in the area of your breast. However, this is completely normal in the first few days and usually subsides within 1-3 weeks.

It is important that you wear a compression bra or support bra after the insertion of implants and that you wear compression garments at the donor sites as continuously as possible after the insertion of autologous fat. The purpose of the compression garment is to support the healing process and help stabilize the results of the operation. Initially, please sleep on your back and do not exert any pressure on the breast.

Make sure that you do not lift or carry anything heavy for the first 6 weeks and refrain from physical exertion (including sport). Be sure to attend the regular follow-up appointments at our practice in Frankfurt am Main.

What are the risks and complications of breast augmentation?

Every surgical procedure involves certain risks, and this also applies to breast augmentation – both with autologous fat and with traditional silicone implants. However, breast surgery is a very frequently performed routine procedure and complications only occur in very rare cases due to the fact that the surgical area is limited to the skin, tissue and muscles. However, they can never be completely ruled out.

The general risks and complications during and after breast augmentation include the usual risk of anesthesia, post-operative bleeding, wound healing disorders and infections. Injuries to individual nerves or the pectoral muscle are also possible, but very rare. However, these risks can be minimized if the procedure is carried out professionally by an experienced specialist such as Dr Nichlos and the strictest hygiene guidelines are adhered to.

One of the long-term risks of breast surgery with implants is capsular fibrosis. This causes the tissue around the implant to harden. The reason for this is that the body perceives the implant as a foreign body and tries to isolate it with a solid capsule. In the worst case scenario, the implants need to be replaced. However, the risk of developing capsular fibrosis is very low thanks to the use of modern implants.

Other very rare complications of breast augmentation can include

  • The breast implant slips downwards (also known as bottoming out). This causes the breast volume to shift downwards and the nipple to move upwards. This can occur, among other things, if the recovery period after the operation is not consistently adhered to.
  • Breast Implant Illness (BIL for short), which can cause various symptoms in the body of silicone implant wearers, ranging from chronic fatigue (fatigue syndrome) to hormonal problems, skin irritation or palpitations, depending on the individual case.
  • Breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL for short), a very rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma associated with silicone and saline implants. BIA-ALCL affects only about 1 in 50,000 women.

In rare cases, breast augmentation with autologous fat can also lead to hardening and lumps. It is also possible that the inserted fatty tissue heals irregularly, which means that the volume is no longer uniform.

Breast Augmentation Costs in Frankfurt

How much does breast augmentation cost?

Many patients want to know the costs associated with breast augmentation before undergoing treatment. Since each procedure is planned individually, the exact price may vary depending on the method and the patient’s initial condition.

At our practice in Frankfurt, the cost of a breast augmentation typically starts at:

  • Breast augmentation with autologous fat: starting at €5,500
  • Breast augmentation with implants: starting at €7,500

The exact costs depend, among other things, on the chosen method, the extent of the surgery, and your individual circumstances. Following a personal consultation, Dr. Nichlos will create a personalized treatment and cost plan that transparently lists all services.

What is included in the price?

The total cost of breast augmentation consists of several components. These typically include:

  • detailed consultation (€100 – fully credited toward subsequent treatment)
  • individual treatment plan
  • Surgery fee
  • Any necessary implants or materials
  • Follow-up care and check-up appointments

In addition, breast augmentation involves anesthesia costs and clinic fees, as the procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a specialized clinic.

For breast augmentation with implants, a compression bra is also part of the post-operative care. An overnight stay at the clinic can be arranged additionally, depending on your individual recovery or personal preference.

Can breast augmentation be financed?

To help you plan your desired treatment flexibly, you have the option to finance your breast augmentation conveniently in monthly installments.

Financing is provided by an experienced financing partner and can be individually tailored to your financial situation. This means you do not have to cover the costs all at once, but can pay for the treatment in monthly installments.

We would be happy to inform you about the requirements and the financing process during a consultation.

  • ✨ 3 Wochen nach Lip Lift

Drei Wochen nach der Operation zeigt sich bereits eine schöne Lippenform mit harmonischen Proportionen.

Die Narben befinden sich aktuell noch in einer aktiven Heilungsphase. Das bedeutet, dass sie mit der Zeit weiter verblassen und sich das Ergebnis in den kommenden Monaten noch verfeinern wird.

Zusätzlich wurde zuvor eine Nasenkorrektur durchgeführt. Diese erfolgte jedoch nicht in unserer Praxis.

✨ 3 Weeks After a Lip Lift

Three weeks after surgery, the lips already show a beautiful and natural shape.

The scars are still in the active healing phase and will continue to mature and fade over the coming months.

The patient also had a rhinoplasty previously, which was performed at another clinic.

  • ✨ Rektusdiastase verstehen

Eine Rektusdiastase ist das Auseinanderweichen der geraden Bauchmuskeln. Häufig entsteht sie während einer Schwangerschaft, kann aber auch nach einer starken Gewichtszunahme oder durch eine Bindegewebsschwäche auftreten.

Typische Beschwerden sind eine Vorwölbung des Bauches, ein instabiles Körpergefühl, Rückenschmerzen oder eine verminderte Rumpfstabilität.

Nicht jede Rektusdiastase muss operiert werden. In vielen Fällen können gezielte Physiotherapie und Training helfen. Ob eine Operation sinnvoll ist, hängt immer von den individuellen Beschwerden und Befunden ab.

✨ Understanding Rectus Diastasis

Rectus diastasis is a separation of the abdominal muscles. It commonly develops during pregnancy but can also occur after significant weight gain or due to weakened connective tissue.

Typical symptoms include abdominal bulging, reduced core stability and back pain.

Not every case requires surgery. In many patients, physiotherapy and targeted exercises can improve symptoms. Whether surgery is appropriate depends on the individual findings.

  • 🩷 Lipödem erkennen. Frühzeitig handeln.

Ein Lipödem wird häufig erst spät erkannt, obwohl viele Betroffene bereits über Jahre Beschwerden haben. Typische Anzeichen sind Schmerzen, Druckempfindlichkeit und eine ungleichmäßige Fettverteilung, die sich trotz Sport und gesunder Ernährung kaum verändert.

Eine frühe Diagnose kann dabei helfen, Beschwerden besser einzuordnen und passende Behandlungsmöglichkeiten zu besprechen.

Wichtig ist: Nicht jede Umfangszunahme der Beine oder Arme ist ein Lipödem. Deshalb sollte die Diagnose immer durch eine ärztliche Untersuchung gestellt werden.

🩷 Recognizing Lipedema. Early diagnosis matters.

Lipedema is often diagnosed late, even though many patients have experienced symptoms for years. Typical signs include pain, tenderness and a disproportionate fat distribution that does not respond to diet or exercise.

Early diagnosis can help identify the condition and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.

It’s important to remember that not every increase in leg or arm size is lipedema. A proper diagnosis should always be made by a medical professional.
