F.A.Q

Breast implants should be changed every 10-15 years. To be evaluated with your surgeon.

Yes, there are several surgical techniques for placing breast implants. Depending on the patient's morphology, your surgeon will suggest the most suitable technique.

Indeed, in the scientific literature, certain types of "textured" implants have been identified as causing large cell anaplastic lymphomas. Few cases have been reported, but this is why Dr. LELLOUCH does not place these "risky" implants. He only places "smooth" implants, for which no cancer has been reported to date.
