Breast Augmentation (Implants)

Breast augmentation at Praxisklinik Kaiserplatz uses cohesive silicone gel implants in round or anatomical shapes, inserted via inframammary fold, areola or axilla incisions under general anaesthetic. The lead surgeon, Prof. Dr. von Heimburg, tailors implant size and position to achieve a natural, proportionate result. Recovery requires a supportive bra for three weeks, with full physical activity resumed after four to six weeks.

Breast augmentation with silicone implants is one of the most frequently performed procedures at Praxisklinik Kaiserplatz in Frankfurt, Germany, carried out by Prof. Dr. med. Dennis von Heimburg, a specialist member of DGPRÄC, ISAPS and IPRAS with over two decades of surgical experience. The clinic uses high-quality cohesive silicone gel implants — available in round and anatomical profiles with textured surfaces — selected in close consultation with the patient to match individual body proportions and aesthetic goals. The surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and typically takes around two hours. The surgeon discusses access routes at the planning stage: the most common is the inframammary fold (a discreet crease under the breast), but periareolar or transaxillary approaches are available depending on anatomy and patient preference. Pocket placement is planned around existing tissue volume — submuscular placement is common where there is limited natural cover, offering a softer result and reducing visibility of the implant edge. The clinic's ACREDIS and QEP accreditation reflects its commitment to safety and consistent clinical standards. Recovery after breast augmentation involves wearing a supportive bra continuously for the first three weeks, with light daily activity possible within days. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are avoided for four to six weeks. Swelling and temporary sensitivity are normal and gradually settle over the following weeks. Praxisklinik Kaiserplatz sits in central Frankfurt with excellent rail and motorway connections, making it accessible for patients travelling from across Germany and from neighbouring countries such as France, the Netherlands or Switzerland, where equivalent procedures often cost considerably more.
