Breast augmentation with implants

Breast augmentation with implants, medically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is performed on patients who want a more beautiful, firmer, rounder and larger breast. After breast augmentation with implants, women gain more self-confidence, overcome the complexes that plagued them, and are happy with their appearance.

Who can have breast augmentation with implants?

Breast augmentation surgery is usually chosen by those patients who dream of a bigger, more expressive breast. Mammoplasty is also chosen by women whose breasts are asymmetrical, underdeveloped, drooping or drooping after childbirth. In order to achieve even more effective results, several plastic surgeries can be combined, such as breast lift and augmentation with implants, as well as liposuction or the globally popular "Mommy makeover" surgery.

How to prepare for breast augmentation with implants?

Consultation with a doctor

First of all, together with the patient, the size and shape of the breasts that meet the wishes are selected, and all the necessary tests are performed. During the consultation, a 3D simulation of the future breast can be performed. This allows women to better understand the future size and shape of the breasts.

Drug use and bad habits

It is recommended not to take anti-inflammatory drugs before surgery, as this may increase the risk of bleeding. It is recommended to stop smoking for at least 4 weeks before and after surgery.

How is breast augmentation surgery performed with implants?

Breast augmentation with implants is a simple operation that is performed under general anesthesia and takes a few hours. The size and shape of breast implants are adapted to each individual - taking into account the woman's expectations, wishes, skin elasticity and other surgical options.

Choice of implants

Modern plastic surgery uses safe and certified breast implants. In our clinic, breast lift can be performed with round, drop-shaped anatomical, Motiva ergonomic, Polytech polyurethane or B-Lite implants.

Round implants are perfect for patients who want a simple augmentation with firm, non-sagging, hollow-top, round-shaped breasts. After choosing these implants, the upper part of the breast will be fuller and more prominent.

Drop-shaped implants are most suitable for women whose lower chest is more empty and want to raise the nipple a little. Anatomical implants are chosen by women who want a very natural-looking breast.

• "Motiva" ergonomic implants best reproduce the characteristics of a natural breast - they resemble a round shape when lying down, and an anatomical shape when standing. These implants are called the "golden mean" because they provide an excellent result and look natural.
• "Polytech" polyurethane implants do not differ in their form from ordinary implants, but they are unique in that the special coating reduces the risk of possible complications, for example, implant rotation, capsular contracture.
• B-Lite - new generation implants are 30%. lighter than traditional ones. Lighter implants put less stress on soft tissues, allow you to maintain the desired breast shape longer, reduce the feeling of unpleasant stretching, but are slightly more expensive.

Small scar technique

Surgical incisions for breast augmentation with implants can be made under the nipple areolas or in the inframammary (substernal) folds, where scarring is least visible. In order to keep the scars as small as possible, the technique of small scars is used, which allows the implant to be inserted after making an incision of only 3 cm. This method is not suitable for all implants, so each situation is discussed individually with the plastic surgeon.

Placement of implants

Depending on the shape of the implant, the implants can be placed under the glandular tissue of the breasts or under the pectoralis major muscle. Most often, implants are placed according to the so-called "dual plane" methodology - the upper part of the implant is "hidden" under the muscle, and the lower part remains under the gland. In this case, there is a smooth rise from the chest wall, the breast looks more natural.

Postoperative care

After this operation, you can return to your normal life quite quickly, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions.

Special care

The patients spend the first day in the clinic. It is very important not to move your hands for the first weeks after the operation, so that the implants do not move out of their places, and not to drive for at least a week. For 6 weeks after surgery, you must wear a special bra for 22-23 hours a day, try to sleep on your back. The first month after the operation requires caution and care - after a few days you can start working without making very strenuous movements.

Scars and healing

There is no need to pull the sutures after the operation. Significant breast swelling lasts for 2-3 weeks, but less swelling can last up to several months. You will see the final image of the breast after about 3 months, but it will still loosen and soften over time. The postoperative scar should be protected from direct sunlight for at least a year so that it remains as dim as possible. The scar usually fades within 2 years.

Physical activity

It is recommended to avoid active physical activity and strain for at least 2-3 months. Active sports, other physical exercises can cause complications.
