Breast Enlargement or Breast Augmentation surgery helps to increase breast volume or correct asymmetry problems. Loss of breast shape, fluctuations in weight and pregnancy lead to breast expansion or there may be a congenital problem of small breasts. Over time, in addition to the above factors, the age factor and gravity are included, as a result of which a visible reduction and sagging are noted in the breast. In order to solve all possible problems, Breast Augmentation surgery can be performed, which will allow you to get the desired size.
In most cases, implants are used or fat injections can be performed, which will be discussed under the heading Breast Lipofilling.
During this operation, special attention should be paid to breast symmetry and the conformity of its appearance to the patient herself. An individual 3D simulation shows the patient how her breast will look after the augmentation, which allows the patient, together with the doctor, to decide on the strategy for performing the operation.
The patient gets the opportunity to see with her own eyes what her breasts will look like after the surgery. Then, according to the created strategy, the doctor plans the operation.
In this case, it is extremely important to get natural-looking, symmetrical and beautiful breasts after Breast Augmentation surgery. Breast Augmentation surgeries take the first place in the list of plastic surgeries, from which patients get the maximum satisfaction. Thanks to modern technology, the patient before the operation gets acquainted with the 3D simulation of the image of the breast and ultimately receives complete satisfaction when she sees a new, natural, symmetrical breast that has successfully undergone an enlargement operation. Our experienced plastic surgeon and state-of-the-art technology make it easy to achieve exceptional results.
Preparing For The Operation:
• Before the operation, it is necessary to have a personal consultation with a plastic surgeon. After a comprehensive discussion with the patient of the future operation, the surgeon will determine its order and conduct a detailed briefing.
• The operation is performed under general anesthesia, therefore, approximately 1 week before the operation, it is necessary to bring (send) the test results and the doctor’s report to us. It is also possible to pass all the tests and be examined by a doctor in our hospital 1 day before the operation. But, it must be borne in mind that if the test results do not correspond to the norm, the operation will be postponed.
• Blood-thinning drugs (Acylpyrin, Anopyrin, Aspirin, Alnagon, Mironal or other drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid) must be stopped 3 weeks before the operation.
• 2-3 weeks before the operation, the patient should not suffer from an acute or inflammatory disease (eg, acute respiratory infections, influenza), and smokers should also limit smoking, as smoking greatly slows down the recovery process.
• A prerequisite for this operation is good health, the exclusion of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• It is necessary to come to the operation on an empty stomach, i.e. 6 hours before the operation you can not drink, eat, smoke.
How Is Breast Augmentation Plastic Surgery Performed?
Before performing Breast Augmentation surgery, you should make a proper plan. In this perspective, the experience of the doctor and the use of modern technology are of particular importance. Using modern technology, our plastic surgeon carefully plans the operation and the method by which it will be performed. Then a decision is made to perform the operation using silicone implants or Lipofilling, and after specifying the type, the patient is sent to the operating room. If the breast augmentation operation is to be performed using silicone implants, a decision is made on the method by which the operation will be performed.
We prefer to perform the operation with a thin incision under the breast. Thus, the placement of the implant under or over the muscle becomes simple and unmistakable. When performing such an operation with an incision along the line of the submammary fold under the breast, the postoperative trace becomes invisible. In addition, the incision can be made in the area of the armpits, navel or nipple halo, but at the same time, it is always more trouble-free to perform the operation with a thin small incision under the breast.
The operation takes place under general anesthesia, therefore, 6-8 hours before the operation, you can not eat or drink. Also, it is recommended not to smoke.
After preoperative marking and thorough disinfection, a skin incision is made and a “pocket” is formed into which the implant will be inserted.
Breast implants are placed under the pectoral muscle or under the mammary gland. How the implant will be installed is decided by the doctor based on the physical data of the patient and the desired postoperative effect.
The surgical incision for the installation of implants can be made in the armpit, in the crease under the breast, near the areola of the nipple (upper or lower part of the areola).
Small bleeding is stopped by the coagulation method and a thin drainage is installed in the cavity to drain blood and tissue fluid that collects under the skin.
An implant is inserted, the surgical wound is gradually sutured with absorbable material.
The operation ends with the imposition of a dense, sterile, elastic bandage on the chest.
Approximate operation time is 40 minutes.
After the operation, the patient stays in the hospital for 1-2 nights.
Does The Silicone Implant Use For Breast Augmentation Feel When Touched?
It is quite difficult for a layman to understand this due to modern technology. The placed silicone implant is similar to breast tissue, so it is difficult to feel it. Generally, the insertion of a silicone implant under the muscle, which is the preferred method, further complicates the situation.
If you look externally, it is almost impossible to understand that a silicone implant is installed in the breast due to the fact that naturalness is paramount in the operation. If the patient prefers silicone implants that are significantly larger than her standard size, then this may be a prerequisite for conjecture, but if naturalness is preserved, the breast will look natural and beautiful, and it will be very difficult to guess about a silicone implant.
For How many Years Are Silicone Implants Designed?
The duration of silicone implants for Breast Augmentation depends on the person. If the patient is satisfied with the appearance of the breast and if there are no changes, the silicone implants are not changed. Thanks to the newly developing technology, manufacturers note a sufficiently long period of use, which can last a lifetime. The most important thing, in this case, is the patient’s satisfaction with the appearance of the breast. If the patient is satisfied with the appearance, then you can make sure that the silicone implants have a reliable and healthy appearance. With the strong mobility of the patient, based on her lifestyle and sports, problems with appearance may occur within 10-15 years. Therefore, in this case, intervention should be carried out and actions taken so that the patient is satisfied with the result. This kind of secondary surgery is not carried out as often as it used to be, but only in cases where it is necessary.
Are There Non-Surgical Breast Augmentation Options?
Lipofilling is a method that allows you to achieve quite natural results in non-surgical breast augmentation. Non-surgical breast augmentation surgery, which we prefer to perform using the Lipofilling method allows us to achieve quite successful results. In some cases, both Lipofilling and silicone implants can be used. In this case, it all depends on the strategy that the doctor will follow. If you want a completely natural looking breast without the use of silicone implants, then you can use this method. This procedure can be performed without the incisions that occur during breast augmentation surgery.
Thus, it is possible to enlarge the breast in such a way that even experts can hardly understand how it was done. Contact us for information about non-surgical breast augmentation.
Recovery Period After Surgery:
Within 10-14 days it is necessary to observe a sparing regimen and regularly take prescribed antibiotics and medications to reduce swelling. Healing processes are very individual. In most cases, swelling and bruising goes away within two weeks.You will receive all medicines at the time of discharge from the hospital.
Try not to raise your arms up, not to carry weights, if possible, sleep on your back for one week. Showering is possible 4-5 days after the operation. Until this time, it is necessary to wear an elastic bandage and compression underwear at all times.
Do not remove adhesive plasters from wounds. During the control appointment, the doctor will change them. Compression garments must be worn for 6 weeks (only removed when showering).
Removal of sutures (if the sutures were not absorbable) occurs after 7-10 days. 2-3 weeks after the operation, you can start doing massage, at least 3 times a day for 15-20 minutes. How exactly to massage and when to start doing it, the doctor will tell you. Massage speeds up the healing process. Active physical activity is allowed no earlier than six weeks after the operation.
A visit to the sauna or solarium is possible after 2-3 months.
Stabilization of scars continues for one year.
In order to avoid the occurrence of pigmentation in the places of incisions and bruises, it is not recommended to sunbathe for six months. In the future, it is recommended to attend preventive examinations.
