Bernier, plastic surgeon, takes a personalized approach designed to ensure your safety, comfort, and confidence, while minimizing the risk of complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Choosing the size and shape that best suits your silhouette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A natural look begins with <strong>choosing the right implant volume and profile<\/strong>.<br>The goal: to respect the width of the chest, the natural shape of the breasts, and the overall body proportions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure truly <strong>natural breast augmentation<\/strong>, Dr. Bernier carefully evaluates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The ideal projection (how far the breast will extend forward)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The width and height of the implant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The overall aesthetic balance of the body<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Choosing the right type of implant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the current trend for <strong>cohesive silicone gel<\/strong> (<em>gummy bear<\/em>) implants, Dr. Bernier favors <strong>saline breast implants<\/strong>. Why? Because cohesive silicone implants may be linked to higher <strong>medium- and long-term risks<\/strong>, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hardening of the fibrous capsule<\/strong> (capsular contracture)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calcification<\/strong> of the fibrous capsule (around the implant)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potential additional surgeries that can be long and costly (total capsulectomy)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Saline implants offer several advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the implant deflates, the body naturally absorbs the saline fluid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower risk of hardening and calcification of the fibrous capsule<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Possibility to adjust the volume during surgery for a more symmetrical result<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. A unique technique: the transaxillary approach with endoscopy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key elements of Dr. Bernier\u2019s approach is his expertise in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drbernier.com\/en\/breast-surgery\/breast-enlargement\/\">endoscopic transaxillary breast augmentation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This technique involves inserting an endoscopic camera through <strong>a small incision hidden in the natural crease of the armpit<\/strong>, in order to prepare the retropectoral space to place the breast implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No scar on the breast<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Precise implant placement thanks to the direct view offered by the endoscope<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less trauma to surrounding tissues, promoting a more comfortable recovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A more natural and discreet result<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced surgical risks and complications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Understanding the importance of recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Achieving a natural result with breast augmentation also depends on what happens <strong>after surgery<\/strong>. Following postoperative recommendations is essential:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Follow the pre- and postoperative recommendations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear the appropriate support bra<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perform breast massages as instructed starting the day after surgery, to ensure a soft and natural result<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid intense physical activity during the internal healing process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attend all postoperative follow-up appointments to optimize the final outcome<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Breast augmentation can beautifully enhance the figure while remaining subtle and natural. With the <strong>endoscopic transaxillary approach<\/strong> and the use of saline implants, Dr. Mario F. Bernier offers his patients a procedure that combines precision, discretion, and safety, while reducing the risk of long-term complications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When considering breast augmentation, many women wish for results that look and feel natural \u2014 a balanced, harmonious shape that enhances their figure and stands the test of time.
