Breast surgery
A quintessential female sexual attribute, the ideal breast has evolved over time. From the small, round and high set breast of the 16th century, as illustrated in the works of Botticelli (The Birth of Venus, Primavera) or Masaccio, it has shifted toward increasingly fuller volumes that seem to grow larger each year, while increasingly defying the laws of gravity.
Remember that the mammary gland is supported only by the skin that covers it, and it is this same skin that gives it its shape. Therefore, take care of your skin, wear proper supportive bras, and forget about pectoral muscle exercises.
Breast surgery procedures
Each breast is unique : breast surgery helps reveal its harmony by correcting volume, shape, or position. Dr prevot offers personalized solutions based on your body shape and aesthetic expectations.
Indications for breast surgery
Breast surgery initially developed as breast cancer surgery, where removal of the breast was necessary to save the woman affected. It remains one of the most common breast procedures today, with its variations and reconstructive options, whether immediate or delayed.
Asymmetries, developmental defects, and thoracic malformations may lead to corrective surgery in young women. The surgeon must understand these conditions, identify their causes, and screen for any associated anomalies in order to propose the most appropriate treatment.
Other procedures mainly focus on breast volume, which may need to be reduced or increased according to precise and individualized criteria.
To summarize, breast surgery can be divided into :
- Breast cancer surgery : mastectomy and reconstruction
- Surgery for malformations : tuberous breasts, asymmetries, Poland syndrome
- Volume surgery without associated pathology : breast augmentation and breast reduction
- Shape surgery without associated pathology : mastopexy or breast lift

Breast surgery procedures offered by Doctor Marianne Prevot
All the procedures we perform share the same goal : to achieve well positioned breasts on the chest, a volume adapted to your body frame and overall morphology, with the fewest possible scars.
Each type of aesthetic breast surgery is detailed on this website. You can learn more by clicking on the links below :
Breast augmentation with implants
Breast augmentation with implants involves inserting breast implants beneath the tissues or the pectoral muscles, enhancing breast volume and shape to meet the patient’s specific aesthetic goals.
Breast augmentation with lipofilling
Breast augmentation with lipofilling uses a fat transfer technique, where fat is harvested from another area of the body and reinjected into the breasts, allowing for a natural increase in volume without implants.
Composite breast augmentation ( implant + lipofilling )
Composite breast augmentation combines breast implants and fat transfer, optimizing both shape and volume by using the advantages of each technique to achieve a harmonious and natural result.
Breast reduction
Breast reduction aims to decrease breast volume by removing fat, glandular tissue, and excess skin, providing physical relief and an aesthetic improvement for women with large breasts.
Mastopexy ( correction of breast ptosis )
Mastopexy involves lifting sagging breasts, redefining their shape and position, while adjusting the size and placement of the areolas for a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.
Recovery after breast surgery
In the context of aesthetic or reconstructive breast surgery, a single day of hospitalization is often sufficient. The recovery period, mainly at home, usually lasts about one week, with postoperative care adapted to the type of procedure performed.
Patients often express concerns about the visibility and quality of scars after surgery. The location of scars depends on the surgical technique used. The plastic surgeon always aims to place scars in the most discreet areas possible. To promote optimal healing, it is essential to stop smoking at least four weeks before any breast surgery.
Breast surgery pricing
The cost of a breast surgery procedure varies depending on the technique used and whether breast implants are required. During your first consultation, Doctor Prevot will provide you with a personalized and detailed quotation following a thorough examination.
