Understanding breast implants: breast reconstruction after breast cancer and breast enlargement in comparison

In the new episode of our podcast Breast Health, PD Dr. med. Constanze Elfgen, senior physician and breast surgeon at Affidea brustCare Brust Zentrum Zürich, speaks with Dr. med. Valeska Hürlimann, specialist in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery at Affidea Plastic Surgery Group, about the use of breast implants.

Together, they explore the different areas of application, from aesthetic procedures to breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery, and provide insight into everyday clinical practice. They explain which types of implants are available, how decisions are made together with patients, and how individual needs and medical requirements are taken into account.

A special focus is placed on the safety of breast implants, potential risks, and long term outcomes. The aim is to provide a well founded and balanced overview and to clarify common uncertainties in an understandable way.

An episode for all women who are considering breast implants, whether for aesthetic or medical reasons, and for anyone who wants to make informed decisions.
