How is breast augmentation surgery performed?

Cosmetology today can provide a solution to almost every problem with appearance. Removing moles, correcting the nose or cutting the eyes, enlarging the lips or changing the contours of the face - all this today is real and possible with the help of surgical intervention or the use of modern cosmetic technological methods.

But the most popular surgery to change the appearance (and one of the most desirable) is breast augmentation surgery. What is necessary to prepare and what nuances to consider? Consider these questions in more detail.

Breast augmentation: Pros and Cons

This operation has many opponents who advocate natural beauty and speak very poorly of artificial implants, citing various negative consequences and health problems.

But on the other hand, the plastic has a lot of fans who advocate a modern solution to the problem. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this operation?

The advantages of mammoplasty include:

1. Increase breast size. The bust is considered the main adornment of a woman, and therefore care about him and the desire to improve her performance are completely normal. Increasing breast size is one of the main reasons for referring to a plastic surgeon;
2. Correction of all kinds of flaws. Very often after childbirth, surgeries (including mastectomy due to cancer), the breast loses elasticity, sags or becomes loose and loose. Plastic surgery can correct these deficiencies, change shape and regain elasticity, restore the natural shape after breast removal, correct congenital symmetry;
3. Elimination of various problems that appear among owners of a large bust. After all, large breasts bring their problems because of the greater volume and weight. Many women have problems with the spine, breathing, sports. And all this can be quickly and easily fixed by reducing the size;
4. Increase self-esteem. As already mentioned, a beautiful and elastic chest is one of the main advantages of the representatives of the weaker sex. Therefore, correcting all the problems and getting the chest of your dreams, you can get rid of the complexes and stop embarrassed;
5. The ability to have a beautiful breast and not feel discomfort during childbirth or feeding. Many women think that after plastics they will not be able to give birth or breastfeed a child. But today the possibilities of medicine have gone very far and all these problems are left behind;
6. Affordable price. Most recently, units could have done plastic because of the price that was higher and beyond the reach of ordinary people, but today this operation is available to a woman, regardless of her position in society.

Many fears about mammoplasty today are completely unjustified and are myths that successfully develop in society thanks to unaware people. However, there are real disadvantages of this type of operation:

1. Risk. Plastic surgery is a medical operation in which there is a small percentage of the likelihood that problems will arise in the course of its implementation. Also remains the threat of infection.
2. The need for corrective surgery after. About 30% of women experience problems over the next 10 years due to capsular reduction of implants. More than 10% of salt implants flow in the first 3 years, which will also require surgery.
3. Breast plastic makes it difficult to identify tumors and oncological diseases. Because of the implants, the doctor cannot be 100% sure of the evidence of mammography. He will be referred only to that mammologist, who has experience in working with such patients.
4. Soreness and side effects of painkillers. After the operation for some time there are restrictions on the sport, you can not lift and carry heavy things. Possible inflammation and complications.
5. Cost. Despite the fact that competition in this area today is high and prices have declined substantially, plastic will still require certain costs. After all, it is necessary to consider not only the services of the clinic, the cost of implants, but also additional expenses in the form of medicines, auxiliary materials and other trifles.

So, before making a decision, it is worthwhile to seriously weigh everything and calculate what is more - the advantages or disadvantages of this operation in a particular situation.

Cost of mammoplasty

How much does breast augmentation surgery cost? The money issue is one of the most important in this situation. The final cost of a new breast is made up of numerous factors ranging from initial consultations with a doctor to the cost of the operating room (which is often paid separately).

Consider the types of services and their cost in the table below (prices are in rubles). The data are national teams in Russia.

Factors affecting the total cost of the transaction:

1. The status of the surgeon and his experience. The more titular the doctor, the more expensive his services are.
2. The status of the clinic. Prestigious clinics have a higher price tag, while younger and less popular ones are willing to do the same work for less money.
3. Type of implants, type of surgery, drugs and equipment. This item is the largest in the final price list.

Of course, you can vary and choose cheaper options, but it is worth remembering that the savings in this case relates to your health. Therefore, this issue must be approached very carefully.

Indications and contraindications

Mammoplasty is a type of surgery that has a very small number of medical indications and contraindications. An operation is performed solely at the request of the patient for aesthetics and becomes possible immediately upon reaching the age of 18 years.

Previously, you can not adjust the shape of the breast, because before the age of 18 it is still forming. After reaching this age, it is possible to change the shape and size of the bust throughout life, regardless of the patient's age.

The main indications for surgery are:

• the natural desire of the patient;
• correction of the effects of mastectomy;
• correcting the effects of injuries or accidents;
• change in asymmetry or other visible deficiencies.

But contraindications can be not only for physical and medical reasons, but also psychological:

• severe diseases of internal organs;
• oncological diseases;
• the presence of infectious diseases;
• lactation period;
• psychological disorders;
• bleeding disorders of blood cells;
• diabetes;
• cardiac problems.

Before plastic surgery, the patient must undergo all studies that confirm his health condition and the absence of contraindications.

Ways of breast augmentation, how long will the results last?

For breast augmentation, there are several proven methods. However, not all of them are equally effective and give a lasting effect. There are 4 effective ways to correct the bust:

1. Physical exercise. Increasing the size of the breasts with the help of sports will not work, but it is quite possible to adjust the shape and improve the appearance. It is necessary to study hard and for a long time, and not just to perform a set of random exercises, but to train according to specialized programs. The result will hold exactly as long as classes will continue;
2. Transplant your own fatty tissue. Use this method to increase by one size from the original first or zero. The procedure involves the transplantation of subcutaneous tissue, or rather, fat cells. Due to the fact that the cells die quickly and a very small percentage of them take root in the first 3 months there may be a significant loss of volume. The result of the procedure can last for several years;
3. Macroline injections. This is a gel preparation that is injected into the chest and gives it a larger volume. Over time, it breaks down into components and excreted from the body. The drug is not harmful, and the result of the course of injection is held for 1 year;
4. Increase with implants. There are gel (silicone-based) implants and salt endoprostheses, which are implanted directly into the breast tissue. The result of such an operation remains for life, with possible corrective operations.

The choice of method of correction of the bust depends on the personal decision and testimony. If you want to regain shape and improve appearance, what can be done with the help of sports, does it make sense to lie on the operating table? Before making an important decision, it is worth weighing and thinking about everything.

Choosing a plastic surgeon

The main component of the success of plastic surgery - the choice of the right doctor. The health of the patient will depend on this person, so it is necessary to carefully select the specialist. When choosing a specialist, it is very important to pay attention to the following factors:

1. Specialization. Modern plastic surgeons have a fairly extensive range of activities, but it is worth making sure that the type of operation that the client needs is performed quite regularly and knows not only in theory;
2. Education. The prospective doctor should have at least three documents: a document on higher education, a specialist certificate and a document confirming advanced training in plastic surgery;
3. Qualifications and experience. The more the doctor has performed the operations, the more experience he has. The question of the number of operations will be quite reasonable. And his qualifications can be confirmed by making sure that there are additional certificates and diplomas;
4. Portfolio. Each practicing surgeon has an extensive portfolio with which he can show his clients visually his work;
5. Reviews The best advertising, even in the age of technology, is word of mouth. Only reviews of real people, acquaintances, friends have weight and they can be trusted. Of course, you should not rely only on them, but you should still take them into account;
6. Cost of services. The price factor should not be the main one when choosing a specialist, but it is worth considering.

It is necessary to study all the information in the public domain about a doctor, visit at least 5 consultations with him, interview his former patients and most importantly, feel comfortable in the hands of this doctor.

If the patient does not trust the doctor, can there really be a good outcome?

Preparation for plastic surgery and methods of its implementation

Before performing the surgery directly, the patient must go through all the required studies to ensure his health and the absence of contraindications. After that, you can go to the clinic. This usually happens the day before the scheduled surgery.

Mammoplasty lasts about 1-2 hours under general anesthesia and with artificial ventilation of the lungs. As soon as the patient is immersed in sleep, the surgeon makes the first incision. Today implantation takes place in three ways:

• periareolar - an incision is made along the lower edge of the areola and an implant is inserted through it;
• submammary - the surgeon gains access to the tissues through an incision in the thoracic fold. The seam from this incision is very subtle.
• axillary - the incision is made in the armpit. This is the most progressive method of implant implantation.

As soon as the implants are implanted, the surgeon stitches up the incision and the operation is completed.

Rehabilitation after breast augmentation surgery

After the operation is completed, the patient is transferred to the ward, where she will have to be under the supervision of doctors for another 1-2 days. It will not be possible to take a shower for five days and another 4-5 weeks will need to wear special compression garments.

Each patient suffers a period of rehabilitation in his own way, depending on the characteristics of the body and immunity. You may experience discomfort in the chest or a feeling of heaviness, and pain is possible with an active gesture. The final shape of the breast will be visible after 12 months, but the result of the operation can be assessed after 2 months.

Complications

Possible complications include:

1. A scar capsule is the formation of a scar and hardening of the tissues around the implant. It is stopped by treatment of fabrics and replacement of an artificial part;
2. Hematoma, which is manifested through swelling and pain;
3. Rupture or damage to the implant;
4. An infection that is treated with antibiotics.

In order to avoid complications after breast augmentation surgery, it is necessary to carefully follow the recommendations of doctors.

The first month the patient is under observation, but after the expiration of this period it is recommended annual visits to the clinic and checking the condition of the breast.
