However, not always women can boast of large and elastic breasts. Today this problem is easily solved with the help of breast augmentation. The duration of the operation takes only a few hours, and the result obtained will delight you for a long time.
Indications for breast enlargement
The main indications for breast augmentation are:
- Small breast size.
- Age-related changes.
- Rapid weight loss.
- Postpartum deterioration in volume and shape.
- Acquired or congenital asymmetry of the mammary glands.
Breast Augmentation Surgical Technology
Before surgery, the patient must undergo a preliminary consultation. In addition to examining a plastic surgeon, you should definitely consult an anesthesiologist.
Breast augmentation is classified as a major surgical procedure under general anesthesia. That's why you should go through a series of tests before performing a breast augmentation.
These are, first of all:
- Biochemical and general analysis of blood and urine.
- Chest fluorography.
- Visit of a gynecologist and oncologist-mammologist.
- Electrocardiographic study.
In addition, an analysis is performed for the possible occurrence of an allergic reaction to the drugs used. If you are using certain medications, be sure to tell your doctor.
Before the operation, the objectives of the operation are also discussed and implants and fillers are selected.
A few weeks before the operation, the patient should stop smoking and drinking alcohol. Before breast augmentation surgery, it is best to follow a low-calorie diet that helps cleanse the body.
Breast augmentation is performed on the basis of the endoprosthesis. The implant is located under the pectoralis major muscle or under the mammary gland.
In the place of access, the following methods of operation are distinguished:
- Installation via axillary access.
- Installation via periareolar access.
- Installation via submammary access.
The type of access is determined by the plastic surgeon on an individual basis. In most cases, the incision is made in the areola or armpit.
Rehabilitation after breast augmentation
Immediately after the operation, the patient is transferred to the ward. He is under the supervision of a doctor for 5 days. After two weeks, doctors remove the postoperative stitches.
In the first days after the operation, the formation of hematomas and swelling in the suture area is possible. This problem does not require additional treatment; they soon pass by themselves.
After the operation, a special tightening bandage is applied to the chest. After removing the stitches, it is necessary to wear a "medical" bra, which maintains the correct shape of the breast. Such underwear must be worn for several months.
Pain and tenderness may be present immediately after breast augmentation. Over time, all of these sensations disappear.
The rehabilitation period is short. Within a week of the operation you will be able to do simple housework. You will be able to evaluate the final result in a few months. This is due to the fact that it is at this point that the implant takes root and a new mammary gland is formed.
Contraindications for breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is not performed in the following cases:
- Blood clotting problems.
- Age (this is not done for minors).
- Oncology.
- Tendency to scarring.
- Chronic diseases.
- Acute infectious processes.
- Tumors in the mammary glands.
- Allergy to implant components.
