Breast augmentation before and after, rehabilitation and contraindications

At all times, elastic, beautiful breasts have been a special source of pride for representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. She emphasizes the health and attractiveness of her owner and, naturally, attracts the views of the opposite sex.

However, not always women can boast of large, elastic breasts. Today this problem is easily solved with the help of breast augmentation. The duration of the operation takes only a few hours, and the result obtained will delight you for a long time.

Indications for bust enlargement

The main indications for breast augmentation are:

  • Small breast size.
  • Age-related changes.
  • Rapid weight loss.
  • Postpartum deterioration in volume and shape.
  • Acquired or congenital asymmetry of the mammary glands.

Breast augmentation surgery technology

Before the operation, the patient must go through a preliminary consultation. In addition to examining a plastic surgeon, you should definitely consult with an anesthesiologist.

Breast augmentation is classified as a major surgical procedure under general anesthesia. That is why you should go through a series of tests before performing a breast augmentation.

These are, first of all:

  • Biochemical and general analysis of blood and urine.
  • Chest fluorography.
  • Examination by a gynecologist and oncologist-mammologist.
  • Electrocardiographic study.

Also, an analysis is carried out for the possible occurrence of an allergic reaction to the medications used. If you are using certain medications, be sure to inform your doctor about it.

Before the operation, the goals of the operation are also discussed, and implants and fillers are selected.

A few weeks before the operation, the patient should stop smoking and drinking alcohol. Before breast augmentation surgery, it is better to go on a low-calorie diet that helps to cleanse the body.

Breast augmentation is performed on the basis of endoprosthetics. The implant is located under the pectoralis major muscle or under the mammary gland.

At the place of access, the following methods of operation are distinguished:

  • Installation through axillary access.
  • Installation through periareolar access.
  • Installation via submammary access.

The type of access is determined by the plastic surgeon on an individual basis. In most cases, the incision is made in the areola or armpit.

Before and after breast augmentation surgery

Rehabilitation after breast augmentation

Immediately after the operation, the patient is transferred to the ward. She is under the supervision of a doctor for 5 days. After two weeks, the doctors remove the postoperative stitches.

In the first days after the operation, the formation of hematomas and swelling in the suture area is possible. This problem does not require additional treatment; soon they pass on their own.

After the operation, a special tightening bandage is applied to the chest. After removing the stitches, it is necessary to wear a "medical" bra that keeps the correct shape of the breast. Such underwear needs to be worn for several months.

Soreness and tenderness may be present immediately after breast augmentation. Over time, all these sensations disappear.

The rehabilitation period is short. Within a week after the operation, you will be able to perform simple household chores. You will be able to evaluate the final result in a few months. This is due to the fact that it is by this time that the implant takes root and a new mammary gland is formed.

Breast augmentation is not performed in the following cases:

  1. Blood clotting problems.
  2. Age (the operation is not performed for minors).
  3. Oncology.
  4. Scarring tendency.
  5. Chronic diseases.
  6. Acute infectious processes.
  7. Neoplasms in the mammary glands.
  8. Allergy to the components of implants.
