The majo\u00adri\u00adty of women who come to us at the Swiss Der\u00adma Cli\u00adnic with a desi\u00adre for chan\u00adge do not want lar\u00adger breasts. What they want is fir\u00adming and sup\u00adport. In short: a youn\u00adger ver\u00adsi\u00adon of their own breasts. It is about an aes\u00adthe\u00adtic sil\u00adhou\u00adet\u00adte and a har\u00admo\u00adnious shape. Some\u00adti\u00admes we need more volu\u00adme or an implant to achie\u00adve this. For exam\u00adp\u00adle, if the\u00adre is too litt\u00adle of your own tis\u00adsue. In other cases, tigh\u00adtening alo\u00adne is suf\u00adfi\u00adci\u00adent.
