The Technique
FABS technique allows Dr Alexandre to achieve optimal breast shape and symmetry in line with the Golden Ratios of the breast, whilst it enables preservation of Lactation, Breast-Feeding ability, and nipple sensation.
It focuses on improving not only the volume but also the shape of the breasts, in line with THE GOLDEN RATIOS OF THE BREAST, as calculated in Dr Alexandre’s longitudinal study (Moufarrege & Dionyssopoulos, 2010) drawing on breast dimensions and ratios in order to obtain harmonious results in mammaplasties: (Lateral view, Height over Projection H/P ≥ 2.− Frontal view, Height over Width H/W 0.7 to 1.3 ).
Anesthesia & Hospital stay
The procedure can be carried out at any age above 18, under general anesthesia.
The patient arrives in the morning and is discharged the following morning.
The Results…
Dr Alexandre’s choice is to obtain a natural result!
The results can be truly seen from two to three months after surgery, the time necessary for the breasts to become softer and for the implants to settle.
The procedure will have improved not only the volume but the shape of the breasts, too. The scars are usually hardly visible.
The added breast volume affects the figure in general, whilst added to this aesthetic improvement there is usually a positive psychological effect due to enhanced femininity.
Duration of results
The implants have their own life-span, but without taking this into account the result of this procedure concerning volume, is long-lasting. The exception can be when a patient puts on a lot of weight. It is true however that the shape and firmness of the ‘enlarged’ breasts will suffer, like ordinary breasts, from the effects of aging and gravity which cause drooping, more or less rapidly according to age and support quality of the skin, and also the volume of the implants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pregnancy/breastfeeding
Following Breast Augmentation, there is no problem regarding pregnancy either for the mother or the child. FABS technique ensures preservation of Lactation, Breast-Feeding ability, and nipple sensation.
Implants and breast cancer
To our knowledge at present we can affirm that breast implants, including those filled with silicone, do not increase the risk of breast cancer. However, screening techniques, clinical examination and palpation can be affected, especially in case of siliconoma or capsular contraction. The presence of the implants can also make it difficult to carry out and read routine mammographies. It is necessary to explain beforehand that you have implants.
How long will the implants last
Although it is true that some patients can keep their implants for decades , A patient with implants must expect them to be replaced at some point in time, if the initial effect is to be maintained. It should be noted however that the new generation implants are far more hardwearing and reliable.
Follow up
It is important to keep the appointments with the surgeon during the weeks and months following the operation. After this stage regular medical visits with, for example your gynecologist, or for routine mammography will continue this follow up.
