All procedures are performed with the highest precision, minimal scarring, and a clear goal: a naturally looking result that feels as good as it looks.
The right breast size is not the largest – but the one that suits you best.
What Is a Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation – also called mammary augmentation – is an aesthetic surgical procedure to enlarge or enhance the shape of the female breast. The goal is to harmoniously adapt the breast volume to the body’s proportions and achieve a natural, feminine appearance.
In our practice, we offer various breast augmentation methods – including the well-established implant technique, the particularly gentle augmentation using autologous fat, as well as the hybrid combination of both procedures.
Which method is right for you depends on your anatomy, your individual wishes, and the desired outcome. In a personal consultation, we determine the optimal approach together – tailored to your goals, your lifestyle, and your aesthetic preferences.
Breast Augmentation with Implants, Fat, or a Combination – Which Method Suits You?
We offer three proven breast augmentation methods, individually tailored to your physical conditions, personal wishes, and desired outcome. Each method has its advantages and is suitable for different goals. Female patients from Basel can rely on our many years of experience and precise, personalized guidance.
Breast Augmentation with Implants
The classic method for enlarging the breast using a long-established and proven technique. Ideal for those seeking significantly more volume or a more defined shape.
Advantages:
- Wide selection of sizes and shapes
- Clearly visible increase in volume possible
- Long-term stable results
- Precise planning and predictable outcome
Special feature in our practice: Use of high-quality, certified silicone implants with a lifetime guarantee.
Breast Augmentation with Autologous Fat
A particularly natural method in which the body’s own fat tissue is used. Ideal for women who want a moderate enlargement without foreign material.
Advantages:
- 100% autologous material – no implant
- Natural feel and smooth transitions
- Can be combined with body contouring through liposuction
- No visible scars
Suitable for: women with sufficient fat reserves and the desire for a subtle, harmonious result.
Hybrid Breast Augmentation (Implant + Autologous Fat)
The combination of implant and autologous fat brings together the best of both worlds: definable volume through the implant, natural transitions, and soft contours through the fat.
Advantages:
- Particularly natural appearance
- Camouflages implant edges in slender breast shapes
- Ideal for reduced soft tissue
- Fewer complications due to targeted fat padding
Recommended for: those with high aesthetic standards and very slender breast anatomy.
In a personal consultation with Dr. Julia Berkei, we will jointly analyze which method is best suited for you – and which result fits your figure and lifestyle.
Procedure of Your Breast Augmentation with Dr. Berkei – for Female Patients from Basel
A breast augmentation is more than just an aesthetic procedure; it is a personal decision. In our practice, we guide you through this process with the utmost care, medical precision, and support that extends far beyond the day of surgery.
1. Personal Consultation – Together with Dr. Berkei
In a detailed discussion with Dr. Julia Berkei or a specialist from her team, your wishes, physical conditions, and expectations will be thoroughly analyzed. Together, we develop a realistic goal – tailored to your proportions, life situation, and aesthetic preferences.
Depending on the initial situation, we will choose the appropriate method together with you (implant, autologous fat, or hybrid), as well as the optimal incision technique and implant position. This process also incorporates measurements, image analyses, and, if applicable, 3D visualizations.
The breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes. The implant or autologous fat is precisely inserted and positioned through a small incision – aiming for an aesthetically perfect, natural-looking result.
Possible incision techniques:
- Inframammary (in the fold under the breast – preferred)
- Periareolar (around the areola)
- Transaxillary (through the armpit – in selected cases)
Possible implant positions:
- Subglandular (above the muscle)
- Submuscular (under the chest muscle)
- Dual Plane (combination of both – especially natural)
After the procedure, you will usually spend one night in our clinic. The first follow-up check takes place the very next day. In the following weeks, we will support you closely – with regular check-ups, scar care, guidance on compression garments, and individual care throughout the healing phase.
Advantages of Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation not only has an external effect – it can also positively and lasting change body image, self-confidence, and personal well-being. Many of our patients experience the procedure as a significant step toward greater self-assurance and inner balance.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Augmentation
In our practice, three methods are available: breast augmentation with implants, augmentation with autologous fat, and the hybrid combination of both procedures. Which method is suitable for you will be determined during a personal consultation.
The surgery lasts approximately 60 to 90 minutes depending on the method and is performed under general anesthesia. Afterwards, you usually stay one night in our clinic for observation.
The initial healing phase lasts about 1 to 2 weeks. Mild swelling, tightness, or bruising are normal during this time. Sports, physically strenuous activities, and stress on the chest area should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks. The final result becomes visible after approximately 3 to 6 months.
We use techniques that minimize scarring as much as possible. The most commonly chosen incision is in the inframammary fold (under the breast) and usually heals very inconspicuously. Access through the armpit or around the areola is also possible, depending on skin condition and anatomical factors.
Modern silicone implants have a very long lifespan and no longer require routine replacement. A replacement is only necessary in case of complications or if a change is desired. In our practice, we exclusively use high-quality branded implants with a lifetime guarantee.
Our practice is a purely private facility. Billing through statutory health insurance is not possible. For privately insured patients, we are happy to check the possibility of cost coverage on a case-by-case basis.
Yes, we offer flexible installment plans through an external financing partner. The exact conditions will be discussed with you during the consultation – transparently, individually, and without obligation.
