Indications

The main indications for the breast augmentation surgery with implants include:

small breast size, because of which a woman has complexes and psychological discomfort;
asymmetry of the mammary glands;
sagging, loss of the breast volume. Most often, this happens due to age-related changes, after pregnancy and breastfeeding, a sudden weight loss;
restoration of the mammary glands after their complete or partial removal for medical reasons. Most often, this surgery is prescribed immediately after excision of benign or malignant tumors. Sometimes the breast is removed for preventive purposes – when the tendency to oncology is inherited and there is a breast cancer gene. In this case, visually, the mammary glands are also immediately restored by a plastic surgeon.

Breast Augmentation with Implants: Features of the Choice of Implants and Advantages of the Surgery

Using implants you can augment your breasts by several sizes at once, while maintaining a natural appearance. This is a fairly safe and to a certain extent already “routine” surgery, which, with the proper level of professionalism of the surgeon, is performed without complications. The most important thing is the correct selection of breast implants. Endoprostheses differ in shape and are:

round – allow to significantly increase the size, but give the breasts a spherical shape;
drop-shaped – retain their natural shape, especially in a standing position, since their projection is concentrated in the lower part;
ergonomic – the most natural in appearance. They are round, but can change their shape depending on the position of the woman’s body.

Endoprostheses have a smooth or textured surface. The latter are better, because due to the roughness they interact better with neighboring tissues.

In addition, the location of the implants differs – they may be placed under the fascia, under the pectoral muscle. The implant placement location is determined by the surgeon after consultation with the patient, it determines the further course of the surgery.

Contraindications

So, the surgeon will not undertake to make the surgery on the breast augmentation in the following cases:

oncological diseases;
infection, inflammatory process or exacerbation of chronic diseases – until recovery;
diabetes mellitus and other diseases of the endocrine system;

pathologies of the heart, vascular system, liver and kidneys – the issue of the mammoplasty possibility is decided individually, after consultation with the attending physician.

Also, mammoplasty is not done to patients under 18 years of age and during pregnancy and lactation. It is desirable at least six months to pass since the end of breastfeeding.

What is the Preparation for the Surgery

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so it requires special preparation. It includes:

consultation with the surgeon. During it, the doctor will provide the most detailed recommendations on preparing for mammoplasty;
performance of diagnostics and exclusion of contraindications;
a month before the surgery – avoiding alcohol, blood thinners (aspirin and others). It will not be superfluous to start taking vitamin and mineral complexes against anemia;
2 weeks before the surgery – beginning of the diet. We are not talking about strict restrictions – you just need the right protein-carbohydrate diet with the rejection of salty, smoked, fried, fatty foods;
on the day of the surgery – no eating and drinking, no use of deodorant and perfume.

The surgery itself is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 4 hours. Its plan depends on the technique chosen by the surgeon. So, access for the installation of the endoprosthesis may be axillary, periareolar or via the inframammary fold. Your surgeon will explain you in detail the plan of the surgery and the main steps of mammoplasty with implants in the process of preparing for the procedure.

Rehabilitation

Then the rehabilitation period comes. It is enough to spend only 1 to 2 days in the hospital for observation; if there are pains, the surgeon will prescribe medications. Next, during the first month, the pool and sauna must be avoided. For 3 to 4 months you will have to forget about sports, lifting weights is strictly forbidden. Full rehabilitation after breast augmentation can take up to 6 months.
