Breast augmentation surgery (also known as breast endoprosthesis) is a procedure aimed at increasing the size and improving the shape of the breasts (mammary glands). This surgery is performed for aesthetic (cosmetic) reasons, and in addition to increasing breast volume, it can also address mild breast "sagging" and make the breasts firmer. Such a procedure can be used for breast reconstruction after mastectomy (removal of the breast).
When is breast augmentation performed? Breast augmentation is performed in cases where the patient believes that her breasts are smaller than the normal size or do not correspond to body proportions. Breast implant surgery can also be performed to correct breast asymmetry or post-lactational atrophy, that is, the reduction and sagging of the breasts after the postpartum period.
Is hospitalization necessary? Augmentation mammoplasty can be performed with a short-term hospitalization (1-2 days).
What is the purpose of the procedure? Modern plastic surgery includes several methods of breast endoprosthetics. The essence of each method lies in the implantation of a special prosthesis consisting of a durable and elastic shell and a filler that mimics the consistency and density of natural breast tissue. There are differences in sizes and shapes, as well as the nature of the surface and chemical structure of the shell and contents of the prostheses.
The best aesthetic results are achieved by using implants with a textured surface and gel-like contents (high-cohesive gel with shape memory properties).
What side effects can this operation cause? In the first few days, a feeling of skin tightness at the operation site may be observed, caused by postoperative swelling. Additionally, as with any surgical intervention, complications such as hematoma and inflammation may occur.
Exact adherence to medical recommendations before and after the surgery reduces the risk of such complications to a minimum. Numerous studies and observations of millions of women who have undergone breast augmentation have not identified any link between endoprosthetics and the incidence of breast cancer.
Additionally,
implantation of prostheses does not affect gland sensitivity and allows for having children and breastfeeding without limitations.
Are there any scars left after the surgery? Although,
что после любого хирургического вмешательства остаются рубцы, существуют специальные приёмы, позволяющие хирургу сделать их максимально незаметными.
How important are psychological factors in breast augmentation? Emotional stability is a crucial factor when undergoing any cosmetic surgery. A beautiful bust does not guarantee personal happiness and the solution to all life's problems. Breast augmentation can significantly improve your appearance and boost your self-esteem. Further success depends solely on you.
