Mammoplasty

Breast augmentation (breast endoprosthetics) is an aesthetic operation to change the shape and size of the mammary glands. Among all types of mammoplasty, endoprosthetics (augmentation with implants) is the most common correction, which allows not only to fill the missing volume, but also to eliminate asymmetry, minor ptosis, and also to improve the outline of the glands.

There are a number of recommendations, following which the patient will protect himself from unwanted complications at the time of the operation:

Give up alcohol and smoking 2 weeks before plastic surgery; When taking anticoagulants, cancel their intake for a week. Method (location) of the implant placement The implant can be installed in different layers of breast tissue. The choice of technique depends on the condition of the patient's tissues and her lifestyle. There are three options for placing the endoprosthesis: Under the mammary gland: this method, according to some surgeons, allows you to create a very beautiful breast shape. Under the pectoralis major muscle: Placed under the muscle layer creates a cushioning effect, the breasts are soft and there is a lower risk of capsular contracture. In two planes (top under the muscle, bottom under the gland): this method combines the advantages of both approaches.

Rehabilitation after breast augmentation in a hospital takes 1-2 days.

After being discharged home, the patient must adhere to a number of restrictions:

• Avoid heavy physical activity for 2 months;

• Exclude sauna, solarium and hot baths for 2-3 months;

• Wear a compression bra for 1.5-2 months;

• Do not sleep on your stomach for the first weeks after plastic surgery;

• Try to avoid stress on the pectoralis muscle. Two weeks after the augmentation mammoplasty, the primary result can be assessed.

The final shape of the mammary glands is formed 6-12 months.
