Mamoplasty - surgery to change the size and/or shape of the breast. It is customary to divide the mammoplasty of enlargement (increase in the use of endoprosthesis) and decrease (decrease).
Chest enlargement
An indication of an increase in mammoplasty is one - the patient's desire to find the desired forms. Breast enlargement operations are performed in three ways, depending on the type of access:
- Axillary: along the edge of the armpit is made a section of about 3 cm
- Submarine: A section of about 5 cm is made under the chest, then a pocket above or below the thoracic muscle, where the implant is installed
- Ticularelar Access: Cutting is done on the lower inner edge of the areola and generally occupies half of its circle
The method of installing the implant is chosen depending on the patient's wishes, the condition of the mammary glands and other indications. Round and drip -shaped implants are used. The products are certified and safe.
How is the operation performed?
- Preliminary preparation: breast ultrasound, consultation with plastic surgeon, a complex of tests before surgery
- The purpose of the date of operation
- Examination of the patient by the doctor and marking
- Consultation of anesthesiologist and anesthesia
- Cutting and formation of implant pockets
- Installation of implant
- Evaluation of the location of implants
- Correction (if necessary)
- Cutting cuts with cosmetic stitching
- Awakening, transfer to a hospital ward
During surgery, breast lifting (mastopex) may also be carried out.
Chest reduction
The reduction and correction of the breast shape is done when exceptional forms cause discomfort for a woman - back pain, inflammation in the breast crease, discomfort in everyday life and sports, the difficulty of choosing linen. Endocrine disorders will become more likely.
The operation is performed by resection of glandular and fat tissues. This is the first stage of the operation. The second is the removal of the skin of the skin, the pull of the chest and give it the necessary shape.
After surgery
Rehabilitation after mammoplasty takes a few weeks to one and a half to two months. At this time, wearing special compression linen is required and it is recommended to give up sports, visit baths and saunas. The plastic surgeon examines the patient immediately after surgery, and the next day after. Gives recommendations for the rehabilitation period. The further adoption of control is appointed individually.
