Rediscover your natural beauty – with a breast augmentation at the highest specialist level. Dr. Eppstein combines state-of-the-art Polytech Microthane® implants with years of expertise for harmonious results that suit you.
Breast augmentation is one of the most common procedures in aesthetic surgery. The reasons for breast augmentation are extremely varied, with the desire to feel comfortable in one’s own body naturally being the top priority.
Reduced breast volume can occur after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or due to natural predisposition, and causes a feeling of a lack of femininity for many women.
In many cases, surgical breast augmentation can help to restore the patient’s sense of physical well-being and self-confidence.
If you have already considered such a procedure, here you will find all the initial information regarding the possibilities and the procedure for breast augmentation at the EPPSTEIN Klinik Stuttgart.

The most proven type of breast augmentation is with silicone implants. Individual sizes enable a natural-looking result tailored to the patient. With a breast augmentation with implants, there are two placement options – above or below the chest muscle. The suitable option always depends on the physical conditions of the patient, as every body is individual. Another option for breast augmentation is also transplantation using autologous fat.
Which method is best for you will be discussed individually in a personal consultation with Dr. Eppstein.
Breast augmentation is one of the most common procedures at the EPPSTEIN Klinik Stuttgart. Dr. Eppstein and his team are experts with years of experience in this field.

No matter which method of breast augmentation you are considering, get to know Dr. Eppstein and the EPPSTEIN Klinik in advance during a personal consultation.

In addition, the possible shape of the new breast and the treatment method for breast augmentation will be discussed and determined during the consultation.

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1.5 hours. The surgery is carried out in the dedicated operating room of the EPPSTEIN Klinik in Stuttgart Mitte.
After the surgery, you will remain as an inpatient for one night with us at the EPPSTEIN Klinik and will be lovingly cared for by our team. The first follow-up treatment, including a dressing change and the application of a waterproof shower plaster, takes place after one week. After approximately 2 weeks, the sutures are removed.
You can start with light office work approximately 1 week after surgery, and with physically more demanding work after approximately 2 weeks. Depending on the location of the implant, you can start again with light sport after approximately 4-6 weeks.
After the operation, you should wear a sports bra for 6 weeks.

Yes, the accompanying person can also stay overnight in the clinic.
In principle, multiple treatments can be performed during one appointment. The extent to which certain treatments can be combined must be discussed during a personal consultation.
A specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery has specialized in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery during their 6-year specialist training following medical school. Since the term “cosmetic surgeon” is not protected, any doctor can call themselves a cosmetic surgeon without having completed specialist training. Therefore, we recommend entrusting yourself to a specialist, such as Dr. Eppstein.
Dr. med. Ron Julius Eppstein is a full member of the DGPRÄC (German Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons), the ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), the VDÄPC (Association of German Aesthetic-Plastic Surgeons) and the GÄCD (Society for Aesthetic Surgery Germany e.V.).
No, the costs of the overnight stay are included in the OP price. There are no further costs for you.
As a rule, there are several weeks between the consultation and the surgery appointment. Legally, a minimum period of 48 hours is required between the informed consent and the performance of an elective procedure.
Certain pre-existing conditions as well as the intake of anticoagulant medication can lead to a decision against performing a cosmetic surgery procedure. Such matters are discussed in detail during the consultation.
In a preliminary consultation with Dr. Eppstein, you will be told everything you need to know before the operation. Two weeks before the operation, you should not take any medications such as ASS (Aspirin) that affect blood clotting. In addition, you should stop consuming cigarettes. Everything else is on our ‘before and after’ sheet, which you will receive after your consultation.
Ideally, you should sleep on your back for the first 3 weeks after breast augmentation. After this time, it is usually possible to sleep on your side. Sleeping on your stomach is generally possible a few months after breast augmentation.
After breast augmentation, you can take a full bath after approximately 4 weeks. Active swimming or scuba diving is only possible again after approximately 3 months.
Exercising after the procedure depends not only on the type of breast surgery, but also on the sport itself. Basically, no overhead movements should be made in the first 4 weeks. Sports should therefore initially be limited to the lower body. Normally, activities such as leisurely cycling on an ergometer can therefore be performed after about 3 weeks.
After about 4 weeks, you can already do light upper body exercises if your implants were placed above the pectoral muscle during the procedure. Full exertion is only possible after about 6 weeks. However, if the implants have been placed under the pectoral muscle, you can only do light upper body exercises after about 6 weeks. With this procedure, full exertion is therefore only possible after about 8 weeks.
Generally, the fresh scar should be protected from UV radiation for one year after the procedure. Therefore, especially when wearing a bikini, it is important to apply sunscreen (SPF 50) to the scar. Sunbathing and solariums should be avoided for about 6 months.
No, the ability to breastfeed is not impaired by breast augmentation.
You should not wear underwired or push-up bras for 6 weeks after breast surgery, but instead a comfortable sports bra. Approx. 6 weeks after breast augmentation, you can wear underwired or push-up bras again.
The breast changes during every pregnancy. To what extent pregnancy negatively affects the surgical result cannot be precisely predicted beforehand, as every course and every body is individual.
The scars of breast augmentation run inconspicuously in the inframammary fold and are usually hardly visible after a few months.
Dr. Eppstein uses state-of-the-art Microthane® coated implants from the company POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics for breast augmentations. These breast implants stand for the highest quality and a significantly reduced overall complication rate.
During a detailed consultation, Dr. Eppstein will determine the correct implant size together with you. In general, the breast implant is chosen to match your anatomy.
The following applies to all breast implants from POLYTECH: lifelong free replacement implants in the event of a material-related shell rupture. As long as no damage to the implant has been detected, it does not need to be replaced.
Inverted nipples can also be corrected during breast augmentation. However, the ability to breastfeed is often no longer present after such a procedure.
No, the insertion of breast implants does not cause stretch marks.
A capsule is a connective tissue-like layer that forms around the breast implant after breast surgery. This is a completely normal process regarding foreign bodies and serves as a protective function. However, this initially elastic layer can thicken and harden, which can lead to tension and pain in the breast. This is then known as capsular fibrosis. If necessary, the hardened tissue layer can lead to a deformation of the breast implant. Dr. Eppstein exclusively uses modern, Microthane® coated implants from the company POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics Deutsch, which stand for the highest quality and a significantly reduced rate of capsular fibrosis. For Microthane® breast implants, the following applies: free replacement implants in the event of capsular contracture for up to 10 years after surgery.
In most cases, sensitivity above the scar is impaired for a few months. In most cases, it recovers on its own. Only in rare cases can a sensory disturbance remain.
In general, breast implants interfere with a subsequent mammography. The treating physicians should be made aware of the procedure so that other examination techniques can be used that are gentle on the implant, such as ultrasound and MRI. In addition, the implant pass is also helpful for a careful examination.
You will receive an emergency number where you can reach Dr. Eppstein at any time. In the event of a complication, please do not hesitate to call.
Physical rest and a healthy diet are important factors that contribute to rapid wound healing. The same applies to abstaining from cigarettes and alcohol. Dr. Eppstein will discuss further individual measures with you during the consultation.
The pain is generally well-tolerated. Dr. Eppstein will issue a prescription for painkillers depending on the type of procedure.
A visible result is usually achieved after 3 months. The final result is usually achieved after 6 months. The scars have generally reached their final shape after about one year.
This may be possible under certain circumstances, but should be discussed individually with Dr. Eppstein.
Smoking can lead to a narrowing of the blood vessels, which impairs blood circulation and thus hinders healing. For a rapid healing process, one should therefore refrain from the consumption of alcohol and cigarettes.
