Beautiful female breasts - the dream of every woman and the object of adoration of all men.
It turns out that most of the weaker sex are not the owners of an enviable bust. This is what they themselves say. Statistics claim that more than half of all women on earth are unhappy with their breasts, in particular her small size.
But after all, any dreams must come true, right? Fortunately for all the lovely ladies who are in this "displeased half", even such a seemingly impossible dream can easily come true. How? What is needed for this? What will be the effect? These and other questions were answered by Artemyev Alexey Alexandrovich - the best plastic surgeon of St. Petersburg according to the Russian Beauty Aword, and now - plastic surgeon of one of the best medical centers in Moscow; HE CLINIC.
- Alexey Alexandrovich, on what factors does breast size depend?
If we are talking about the shape and volume of the breast of a woman who did not give birth and did not use the services of a plastic surgeon, only one factor is genetic predisposition. Many women note a significant change in the shape and size of the breast after childbirth and breastfeeding. This is due to the fact that during pregnancy and lactation the mammary gland increases significantly, which leads to stretching of the surrounding tissues and ligaments. At the end of lactation, the iron returns to its normal volume, but the skin and the ligaments supporting the gland most often cannot shrink and return to their original position. Such changes lead to a visual reduction of the breast volume and its shape. But it can always be corrected.
- Can special gels, creams, pills, patches be able to increase the size of the breast?
At the moment, it is scientifically proven that there are no drugs in the world that could change the shape or volume of the mammary gland. If you want to get a good result - a beautiful chest of the desired size, then there is the only way, without prejudice to your health and wasted time - this is surgical breast correction.
- This is, of course, the most effective way. However, there are dozens of opinions about the risks of such operations, for example, infection, loss of ability to breastfeed, capsular contracture and even the development of cancer ...
Wound infection in elective surgery is extremely rare. All operations are performed in a sterile operating room, and the risk of nosocomial infections is almost nil.
About breastfeeding. With proper performance of the operation technique, the mammary gland does not suffer and, therefore, does not affect lactation. I will say from experience: I urge all my patients to inform me about postoperative pregnancy and the presence or absence of milk. For almost 10 years of surgical practice, none of the patients reported no complete lactation.
Frequently asked about the change or absence of breast sensitivity after surgery. Such changes are very rare. And in 100% of cases they are not persistent: sensitivity is restored to the end of the early postoperative period (up to 3 weeks).
Now about capsular contracture. What is it? And why does it arise? This is the formation of dense connective tissue around the implant, which partially or completely squeezes and changes the shape of the implant, and, therefore, changes the density and shape of the breast. Such a complication can occur when the wrong size of the implant, the wrong technique to perform the operation or the use of cheap and low-quality materials. Observing the basic tenets of operations, adhering to strict criteria when choosing the size and manufacturer of implants, the risks of such complications are reduced to hundredths of a percent. That is why it is very important to carefully consider the choice of a plastic surgeon. And, of course, you need to contact only proven medical centers, such as HE CLINIC. Over the 20 years of our clinic’s existence, there have been no cases of postoperative complications.
A very popular question is whether the risk of developing cancer after breast surgery is increasing. Statistical processing of these data was feared by the manufacturers of implants, as well as plastic surgeons. But what a surprise it was when, after more than fifteen years of research, statistics showed that the risk of developing cancer in women with operated breasts is much lower. Of course, this fact is not a reason for conducting such operations for preventive purposes, but it definitely destroys another medical myth. In part, this statistic can be explained by the fact that women who have surgically increased their breasts are more attentive to their health: they regularly approach doctors for preventive purposes and undergo breast examinations. And early diagnosis can prevent the development of cancer.
- Tell us how the operation is carried out in the clinic?
We always very carefully approach the choice of the size and shape of implants and use in our practice only super-reliable and well-proven materials from the world-class manufacturer - the company "Mentor". Manipulation is always performed under general anesthesia, after careful preoperative examination of the patient. Most often, the implant is installed access through the areola of the nipple with mandatory placement under the gland and muscle. The combination of these procedures allows you to achieve not only the natural appearance, but also to hide the presence of the implant to the touch, which is very important in intimate relationships. The duration of the operation is usually no more than 1.5-2 hours. After surgery, the patient is in our clinic for 24 hours, then the observation process continues on an outpatient basis.
- How durable are the implants that you install?
The latest achievements of implant manufacturers have led to the fact that in almost all cases replacement of materials is not required. Mentor issues a certificate for each implant with a lifetime warranty, which proves the absolute reliability and durability of its service.
- How, after the operation, the breast tissue reacts to the implants and get along with them?
After installing the implants, the body, of course, checks them for foreignness. Since the material is absolutely sterile and harmless, it does not cause inflammation in the body and, as a result, rejection. After some time, a thin connective tissue capsule forms around the implant. It reliably holds it in one position throughout the whole period of its existence and provides an additional reinforcing effect, helping to maintain a beautiful breast shape for a long time.
- Are there age limits for surgical breast augmentation?
There is no exact minimum age. The main criterion for performing breast augmentation surgery is the end of puberty and the fully formed mammary gland. Conclusions from these data we get on the basis of a thorough clinical examination and mandatory ultrasound diagnosis. Similarly, with a maximum age. The main criteria for refusing to perform this operation are the general condition of the patient at the time of the manipulation and the presence of concomitant diseases in which any surgical intervention is contraindicated.
- Do I need some preparation before the operation?
Same as with any other surgery. It is necessary to undergo a thorough medical examination. I would like to note once again that consultation, the right choice of implants, the selection of compression underwear, and absolute confidence in the clinic and your doctor are the key to a successful operation and excellent results after it.
- What restrictions should be observed for women after the manipulation in order to keep the breasts beautiful and healthy?
The early postoperative period (week) is accompanied by some pain in the chest, similar to the pain of overtrained muscles. During this period, I recommend staying at home. In the next 3 weeks, the patients feel well, the pain syndrome is almost gone. At this time, you can return to normal life, but to avoid heavy physical exertion. The first 3-4 weeks after surgery, it is necessary to wear compression underwear. It will provide excellent healing and ease movement. In the subsequent time - no restrictions and changes in the usual life. Although one change will still be - you will become the owner of a chic chest.
There is no reason not to believe an expert: surgical correction of the mammary glands is by far the most effective and absolutely safe way of breast augmentation. Dear girls and women, if you dream of ideal forms, but do not decide on an operation, it's time to dispel doubts and take this step. Modern aesthetic medicine, the skills and abilities of real professionals, such as the specialist of the HE CLINIC - Dr. Artemyev - will allow you to easily and quickly find a magnificent chest and get closer to your ideal!
