Our Surgical Procedures

If you’re considering breast surgery and aren’t sure which one is right for you, we invite you to explore the different procedures performed by Dr. Felipe Amaya and the AmayaClinic® team.

Breast Reduction and Lift

This is one of the most demanding techniques where we have the most experience. We combine breast reduction with a lift (or mastopexy) to adjust the size and reposition the breast, either with or without implants.

Breast Augmentation (Mammoplasty)

We use biocompatible implants that minimize any risk of inflammatory response. This procedure offers a wide variety of shapes and sizes, tailored to the preferences and needs of each patient.

Breast Implant Removal (Explant Surgery)

This is one of the most requested procedures at AmayaClinic® thanks to Dr. Felipe Amaya’s expertise in complex cases, ensuring optimal recovery and natural results.

Frequently Asked Questions about Breast surgery

Can I breastfeed after breast surgery?

This may vary depending on the procedure you choose. In the case of a breast lift (mastopexy), between 20% and 40% of patients may experience difficulties with breastfeeding. However, in breast augmentation, there is no risk as the functionality of the breast is maintained intact.

How much does breast surgery cost?

To learn the cost of your procedure at AmayaClinic®, you can choose between an in-person consultation with Dr. Felipe Amaya or a 100% virtual pre-assessment process, which is completely free of charge.

Is this type of surgery painful?

Breast surgeries are usually less painful than expected, and with the proper medication, discomfort can be avoided. However, in implant procedures, there may be a feeling of pressure in the chest during the first five days.

How long does the surgery take?

All our breast procedures are outpatient. A breast lift and reduction take about two hours, while breast augmentation is completed in about an hour.

How long should I wait before exercising or swimming in pools?

We recommend waiting at least a month before engaging in sports activities. Sun exposure or exercising may darken the scars and increase the risk of infection in the de infección en las wounds.

When will the stitches be removed?

The stitches are self-absorbing.

How long before I can lift my arms?

You will be able to move your arms, but avoid raising them above your head during the first week.

How can I know what the result of my surgery will be?

At AmayaClinic®, for breast augmentation, we always request reference photographs to understand the desired shape and size, ensuring we have a clear idea of what the patient envisions.

What care should I take after the surgery?

During the first few weeks, you should follow the medical instructions.
You can resume a normal life as long as you avoid strenuous effort and lifting heavy objects.
If your job does not require significant physical effort, you can return to work between 3 to 7 days after the surgery.
Follow-up appointments are required for post-surgery care as directed by the surgeon.
Avoid exercise for one month and direct sun exposure for three months.

How many days should I stay in Colombia if I live abroad and want to undergo the procedure?

We recommend being in the country at least 3 days before the procedure and staying for 15 days afterward to ensure proper recovery and allow for any necessary follow-up.

Is it safe to travel by airplane?

Yes, there are no contraindications to flying after surgery. You can fly 15 days after the procedure.

How soon will I see the results of my surgery?

Results will be immediate, but they will vary depending on the surgery:

After augmentation, you’ll notice a fuller cleavage initially, which will gradually settle into a more natural appearance within the first month.
In cases of reduction or lift, you’ll see an initial fullness in the upper portion of the breast with a flatter lower section; over the first three months, the cleavage will soften, and the breast will take on a rounder, more balanced shape.

What warning signs should I watch for after surgery?

You should seek medical attention if you experience:

Noticeable swelling in the breast.
Severe, unbearable pain.
Fever, chills, or general discomfort.
Discharge from the incision site.
Redness in the breasts

What does the post-operative care involve?

Breast surgeries are generally not painful, and most patients can resume daily activities by the third day.
Exercise should be avoided for at least one month.
The incisions remain covered for the first 15 days, after which a care regimen begins, including specialized creams, silicone sheets, and massage therapy.

When should I replace my implants?

It is essential for women to understand that breast implants must be replaced every 10 years.

What are the reasons for replacing breast implants?

Having silicone implants for 10 years or more.
Developing complications such as capsular contracture.
Implant rupture.
