Indications for breast surgery
Often, women turn to plastic surgeons in order to enlarge the mammary glands. There are several indications for this:
- disproportionately small size;
- a decrease in the size of the mammary glands after a sharp weight loss or pregnancy;
- elimination of asymmetry – one breast is larger than the other;
- reconstructive surgery after the removal of the mammary glands.
Yet breasts plastics is not limited to an increase only. Lift is required for women who are unhappy with the shape of the breast (when it looks saggy and unattractive). The reduction will help in the case when the mammary glands look disproportionately large – for hormonal or hereditary reasons.
Advantages of breast surgery
Size and shape are factors that are highly dependent on the heredity and hormonal background. Trying to change them yourself is quite difficult: diet, sports and cosmetology procedures can only slightly tighten the mammary glands. Plastic surgery allows you to arbitrarily change the shape and size of the breast. You just need to tell the plastic surgeon about the result that you need.
Plastic surgery is well tolerated by patients, and also has a short rehabilitation period. The price of the procedure is selected individually, as it depends on the type and extent of the intervention. Despite all the advantages, the operation has certain contraindications. These include:
- severe pathology of internal organs;
- bleeding disorders;
- active infectious process;
- period of pregnancy and lactation;
- the presence of pathological neoplasms in the chest.
The operation is also not performed for girls under the age of 18 since their breast tissue has not yet been completely formed.
The process and duration of the operation
All manipulations are performed under general anesthesia. Firstly, the surgeon makes markup and photographs the mammary glands (photo takes before and after, which makes it possible to evaluate the result). Breast surgery has a variety of interventions. Here are the most popular ones:
- Increase. There are two main ways: implantation and lipofilling. In the first case, a silicone implant is placed in the breast, and in the second, the volume is increased due to the transfer of own fat tissue.
- Tightening (mastopexy). Incision and surgical tactics depend on the degree of omission. The result of the operation is trim and attractive bust shape.
- Reduction. The surgeon removes excess adipose tissue and, if necessary, excised skin. The result of the operation is a breast reduction of 1-2 sizes, as well as a shape that aesthetically harmonizes with the figure.
The duration of plastic surgery is 90-120 minutes. The effect can be assessed immediately after surgery.
Rehabilitation period and aftercare
After correction, the patient is transferred to the hospital for in-patients for 1-2 days. At this time, dressings and constant medical supervision will be required. On the second day, the patient is discharged home, and after a week you can already go to work. In the first 2-3 weeks you need:
- wear compression underwear;
- avoid physical exertion;
- eat right, give up bad habits;
- go to a consultation with a doctor to assess the postoperative period.
