Price of breast augmentation in Morocco with breast implants
The price of a breast augmentation in Morocco varies according to the type of
breast implant used. It is not uncommon for some women to prefer an injection of
autologous fat into the breasts instead of the implant to increase the volume of
their breasts.
Fat transfer or breast lipofilling is an alternative to implant surgery, which
not only allows for scar-free breast augmentation, but also avoids certain
surgical complications related to the implant.
The price of breast augmentation in Morocco also depends on the surgical
procedures associated with the placement of implants such as lipofilling or if
the patient wishes to perform in addition to the placement of breast implants a
lift to raise the areola.
What are the access routes for breast implant surgery?
For breast augmentation, the first access route is the inframammary fold, the
second is the lower periareolar margin and the third is the axillary region. In
addition, the periumbilical access is less used, because it does not always
allow the surgeon to create an adequate and optimal breast implant pocket.
In addition, it does not allow the placement of silicone gel implants, but only
saline implants: the implant can only be "inflated" once in place. The choice of
access routes depends on the volume of the breast implant and other factors that
your surgeon will explain to you during the pre-operative interview.

And what are the advantages and disadvantages of each access?
In the case of the infra-mammary fold, there is a direct view of the preparation plane of the
prosthetic pocket and it is not necessary to make an incision close to the areola, which
reduces the risk of temporary or permanent hypoesthesia and dysesthesia (reduction or
alteration of sensitivity).
The breast augmentation scar is hidden under the lower pole, but remains visible even in a
lying bikini position (the bra therefore tends to ride up slightly, revealing the fold
itself), which can be a limitation. The lower hemi-areolar access, on the other hand, allows
the scar to be hidden between the pigmented part of the areola and the surrounding skin, so
that after a few months it is almost invisible even with bare breasts.
Procedure for breast augmentation surgery with implants
Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anaesthesia by a plastic surgeon specialising in breast plastic surgery. Silicone implants are used to treat breast hypotrophy.
Incision routes and scars
For the placement of the prosthesis, several routes are possible such as the:
- Areolar: The plastic surgeon makes an incision around the areola to introduce the prosthesis.
- axillary: He can also introduce the prosthesis through an incision under the armpit.
- submammary: Similarly, he can make an incision in the breast fold for the insertion of the prosthesis.
All these incisions determine the type of scars after breast augmentation.
Location of the breast prosthesis
The location of the prosthesis, once inserted in the breast, can be in:
- premuscular, i.e. in front of the pectoral muscle and behind the mammary gland; or
- retromuscular, i.e. behind the pectoral muscle.
Types of breast implants
There is a wide variety of breast implants available today, differing in shape, content and size. For breast augmentation, you can choose between:
- Silicone gel implants with a single wall,
- those with adjustable walls that allow saline solutions to be added when the prosthesis is inserted,
- double or even triple-walled silicone gel-filled prostheses, etc.
- Some of these implants are very rare, such as cohesive gel implants without walls, pectoral muscle replacement implants, etc.
Although the implants can be filled with saline solution, hydrogel, it is mainly the silicone gel-filled prostheses with a silicone envelope that are more coveted and used by our plastic surgeons in cases of breast augmentation surgery.
The choice of the prosthesis is therefore of primary importance during this procedure. The prosthesis can be placed in front of or behind the pectoral muscle or in a dual plane.
Post-operative follow-up of breast augmentation
The post-operative period following a hypoplasia correction can be painful, particularly when
the implant is placed in a retromuscular position. It is advisable to take painkillers in
case of intolerance to pain.
Swelling and bruising are common after such an operation. However, these disappear after 2
weeks. The removal of the sutures is only necessary if the suture was made with a
non-absorbable thread. Sports activities can be resumed after 1 month.
The patient must wear a support bra for 1 month, night and day, to protect the scars and the
position of the breast implants. These are the main post-operative consequences of breast
augmentation.
Breast augmentation result
The results of breast implants are usually visible after 3 months.
The lifespan of the prostheses is more than 10 years. Cases of breast asymmetry that remain after a
breast augmentation procedure can be corrected by a secondary breast surgery or through breast
lipofilling.
Complications of breast augmentation
Rare complications of breast implant surgery include: cases of implant rupture, displacement, implant
shell formation, hematoma, serous effusion, infection or necrosis.
Some of these complications may require explanation, i.e. the removal of the breast implant. This is
only when the implant shell ruptures and if there is an extraversion of the filler, i.e. the silicone
gel. In this case, there are two types of rupture, intracapsular rupture and extra capsular rupture. The
silicone gel may remain in the capsule after rupture, or it may be in the surrounding tissue.
Leakage of the product is rare, because it is a cohesive product and flow is difficult. In addition, our
partner plastic surgeons and clinics are rigorous in their choice of breast implants.
