Indications for surgery

Medical indications for surgery on breast augmentation, not so much. They relate to the objective reasons why the doctor prescribes surgery. But there is a natural desire to improve the aesthetic appeal of the breast if natural shape and size do not meet their owner.

Ways to increase breast

There are several methods of breast enlargement, which have different objectives and methods of implementation. Of course, this information is only introductory, the final decision on the choice of the type of operation and implants to be professional.

Breast augmentation with implants

Is the most common type of mammoplasty. Implants allow you to Breasts of any size or shape depending on the type of the selected implant. There are several ways of introducing implants, they differ in the shape and location of the incision. Also there are several types of placement of implants between the muscle and the breast gland, totally under the chest muscle or partially.

Types of implants

When choosing an implant you should not rely on its value. The main selection criteria should be anatomical features of the patient and the desired result. In this case, the final decision rests with the physician, who based on his experience to consider all the details and especially the mammoplasty. Depending on the selected implant specialist will select the most suitable method of operation.

Modern implants have a low weight, high safety features and natural form. Implants vary according to several criteria: shape, fillings and densities. In the form of isolated round and anatomical implants with a natural teardrop shape. Anatomical implants can make the appearance of the breast more natural. Those and others may have a different thickness (low or high profile). Round implants maintain the shape of the breast even when they are offset, while the anatomical can be deformed.

As for filler, there are currently gel implants based on silicone and saline implants filled with saline with a salt content of 0.9%. Saline implants are low cost and greater softness. Gel implants have a greater elasticity and better keep their shape. We emphasize that modern implants do not bring the woman any harm: in case of accidental damage to the coating of the filler does not flow out.

Density emit soft and dense implants, and implants softtouch. Soft implants density correspond to breast tissue and not particularly well-kept form. Dense implants are not deformed but have a less natural appearance. Implants softtouch are a mixture density and rather keep a good shape.

Implants also differ in the structural characteristics of the shell: secrete products with smooth and textured surface. Textured implants are less prone to displacements, that is more sustainable. However, they can cause the appearance of wrinkles on the skin by friction with subcutaneous tissues on the surface of the product. Smooth implants do not cause similar problems, but their implementation of risk shifting far more.

Breast lift

breast lift

Breast lift (mastopexy) can be performed with implants or without them. Implants are embedded in the case, if the woman is unhappy not only with the shape of the breast, but also its size. There are three main types of braces depending on where the incision:

  1. Anchor mastopexy with an incision in the form of "anchor" that runs vertically from the nipple to the fold under the breast and then horizontally along it. This lift is recommended for women with large Breasts and pronounced deformations.
  2. Mastopexy with an incision along the contour of the brown / pink area around the nipple is indicated for women with smaller Breasts and minor deformations. During the surgery, some skin is removed around, then overlap the elastic seams.
  3. Mastopexy with a cut in Crescent-shaped ideal for women with mild deformities of the chest, if in its upper part there are the excess skin. In performing this operation the surgeon makes an incision over the brown-pink area around your nipple. The result of this operation is offset from the nipple up to 2-4 cm

Endoscopic breast augmentation

This operation is, in fact, the introduction of implants with the help of special equipment — endoscope. This type of surgery is required if the cut is made in the axilla, so as to establish an implant using the selected cross-section is possible only with the use of medical optical devices. The implant in this case is under the chest muscle and below the installation process was secure, the required visual inspection, which, as mentioned, is provided with the appropriate endoscopic equipment. It can be argued that endoscopic breast augmentation is today the most modern and safe technique. The advantages of this type of operation will be discussed below.

Increase or restore the breast after mastectomy

Breast augmentation with implants

Breast removal (mastectomy) is a radical method of treatment of cancer, affecting mammary glands. Fortunately, plastic surgery can restore the breast size. Such an operation requires the surgeon of high qualification and great experience. Breast enlargement takes place with the use of own tissue of the patient and/or with implants. That is, a combined method.

Methods of operation

As mentioned above, the technology of surgery for breast augmentation depends on the location of the cut. Access through the area around the nipple involves the implementation of the section along the border of the pigmented skin of the nipple, so that the seam after the operation remains almost imperceptible. This method is not suitable for women who in the future plan on breastfeeding, as during surgery may damage the ducts.

The second method involves making a cut in the crease under the breast, so that the seam remains relatively invisible, and access for the surgeon becomes more comfortable. The only problem for the patient is the need some time to wear elastic bandages to prevent chafing of the scar bra.

Breast augmentation through the armpit — the most progressive and least traumatic method. This method has a number of significant advantages:

  1. Due to the small incision reduces the postoperative period: the recovery period lasts 10-14 days, and the scar resolved after 4-5 months.
  2. It provides a good fixation of the prosthesis and reduces the risk of bias due to the fact that the implant is placed under the pectoral muscle.
  3. When operations are not affected breast tissue, which is especially important if you are planning a pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  4. Surgery lasts just 40 minutes, thanks to the ease of implant through the endoscope.

Preparing for surgery

Preparing for surgery for breast augmentation involves consultation with a plastic surgeon, a professional psychologist and an anesthesiologist, the passage of the necessary hardware survey, tests. When preparing for surgery you should also stop Smoking, drinking alcohol, spicy and fatty foods, use of hormonal contraceptives and drugs with a high content of aspirin and other blood thinners.

Rehabilitation

Full rehabilitation after the mammoplasty usually takes about 2 months and consists of several stages. The first 2-3 days you must spend in hospital and to wear a special compression garment that supports the breast shape and prevents displacement of the implant. Also during the first five days are forbidden to raise their hands. After discharge within one month should continue to use compression underwear, it is prohibited to lift weights and exercise, the best kind of activity is walking. For the first time, possible discomfort and pain in the chest, which are removed with the help of pain medication drugs. The first two weeks after surgery is allowed to sleep only on her back, then on his side, and after a month on the belly. Within two months, you cannot visit bath, sauna, Solarium and sunbathing. The patient have to consult a plastic surgeon for planned inspections in accordance with assigned schedule.

Possible negative consequences

The negative effects that may occur after mammoplasty include the development of fibrous contracture, a reaction of the organism to the introduction of foreign bodies, displacement, damage and rupture of the implants. In addition, it is possible that the result of the operation you will not receive the Breasts of the shape and the size of that originally planned. It should be noted that in most cases, these effects arise due to insufficient training of the surgeon. So if you are planning breast augmentation, the most important is to choose a reliable clinic and surgeon with significant experience in the field of plastic surgery.

Cost of breast augmentation

Cost of breast augmentation depends on several factors: the chosen of the clinic, its geographical location and level of service; qualifications and experience of the surgeon, selected the implants; the difference between the initial and the desired breast size; method of operation; the number of days that you will need to spend in hospital.

Surgery for breast augmentation is a complex surgical procedure. And whatever the purpose of visit to clinic: purely aesthetic or for medical reasons, need a very careful approach to the selection and the medical center, and surgeon.

How to choose a clinic?

Plastic surgery clinics in the capital and across Russia a lot, every year opened more medical centers. In order to attract customers many offer great prices and attractive conditions. However, do not blindly choose "the cheapest". It is worth remembering that dining is a threshold price below which it is impossible to expect a high level of service. The clinic must be of good reputation, ideally should work at least one doctor "named", the equipment must be modern. But high prices are not always an indicator of quality. Choose a clinic where affordable prices are combined with positive customer testimonials, which you can pre-study on specialized forums.
