With more than 2000 procedures and a lot of experience in breast augmentation, what interests me most is the safety and satisfaction of each woman from the result of the procedure.
A beautiful, youthful, firm chest is a key factor in enhancing female psychology. This is the reason why the demand for cosmetic surgery on the chest is growing rapidly. Many women decide every day to undergo breast augmentation, which is the most common cosmetic surgery procedure worldwide and concerns all women, from 17 years old and above.
Anaesthesia: General.
Place: Organized and fully equipped clinic.
Duration: 1-2 hours.
Stay: 1 day.
Stitches: Absorbable – not removable.
Support: Sports bra for 1 month.
The first few days: Bruising, hypersensitivity, numbness, hypersensitivity, swelling, pain gradually improve.
Work: after a few days.
Gym: After 4-6 weeks.
Final result: Usually 2-3 months after surgery.
At the initial visit, a detailed discussion of expectations for improving the breast image will take place. Any asymmetries, fall and the surgical plan will be examined and decided in cooperation between the doctor and the patient.
It will be discussed:
⁃ the shape of the insert (Low-Moderate-High profile, anatomical, etc.)
⁃ the surface (nanotexture)
⁃ the volume (in cm)
⁃ the position (above or below the pectoral major muscle, advantages, disadvantages)
⁃ the incision (nipple, underarm, armpit, etc.)
You will need to mention in your medical history any problems:
⁃ Heart, lungs, liver, etc.
⁃ Hypertension.
⁃ History of thrombophlebitis.
⁃ Diabetes mellitus.
⁃ Active smoking.
⁃ Taking medicines or dietary supplements (and what they are).
It is advisable (but not necessary) to have the operation outside the days of the period.
Technology -3D
Utilizing the latest technology, it is possible in the doctor’s office (after taking some photos) to be imaged in 3D the final result of the breast after the operation and the choice of the desired size can be made.
Breast augmentation is ideal for improvement:
It lasts about 2 hours, is performed in an organized surgical centre (clinic), usually under general anaesthesia, although in some cases (after consultation with the doctor) it can also be performed under local anaesthesia.
Breast augmentation aims to increase the size of the breasts. It does not improve nipple asymmetry and does not benefit a very droopy breast (in this case a breast lift will be needed).
INSERT SHAPE
There are two types of inserts:
Recent studies suggest that the “anatomical” outperform those of the “drop” because:
– remain unaffected by their possible movement
– are also drop-shaped in an upright position
-give a more natural look in a horizontal position
– have a significantly lower reinsertion rate
This is why most plastic surgeons now recommend “anatomical implants”.
INSERT SURFACE
– There are the tracheal surface (Textured Breast Implants) and the smooth surface (Smooth Breast Implants) implants.
– In Europe, “rough surface” implants are traditionally used mainly because they do not move out of place easily and have a better texture (in the USA they mainly use Smooth implants). Nowadays, nanotexture technology implants are mainly preferred because they have minimal complications.
INSERT VOLUMES
-The choice of the volume of the insert is a difficult task.
-The experience of the doctor and the discussion with him will certainly facilitate the decision.
-Possibly some sizers (sizes) may help.
– Feel free to show pictures of a breast you probably like. It is not binding that you will get the same because there are always differences that the doctor will point out, e.g. different anatomy, breast diameter, ribs or sternum going inwards or outwards, etc.
POSITION OF INSERT
– It can be placed above or below the pectoralis major muscle.
– When it is placed under the muscle (because it is cut through) there is more postoperative pain and swelling.
– In female athletes it is usually placed over the muscle.
– Theoretically, when placed under the muscle it has a lower rate of capsule formation, but a higher rate of “damage” due to friction with the muscle.
– Discuss this in detail and at length with the doctor.
LOCATION
The incisions can be:
The decision will be taken depending on the anatomical features of each patient (e.g. large nipple, small breast drop) and after discussion with the plastic surgeon.
The procedure can be combined with other procedures such as rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation, genital aesthetics, liposuction, etc.
Complications, although rare, should be reported and treated accordingly:
Talking at length with the doctor and understanding the instructions reduces the rate of complications.
ATTENTION: Women with a family history of breast cancer may be a “contraindication” for breast augmentation.
ATTENTION: Breast laboratory tests (U/S, MRI, etc.) should be performed regularly, as prescribed.
There are women who, while not happy with the size of their breasts, do not wish to have implants. The solution lies in new techniques, such as fat transfer fat from another part of the body (fat grafting – fat recycling).
Fat is currently used as a prosthetic material that gives volume to the breasts, buttocks, face, and buttocks. instead of hyaluronic acid or other products with relative success.
It is also used to correct breast asymmetries or even in breast augmentation with silicone implants.
In addition, it has the significant advantage of fat collection by liposuction and as a result the simultaneous significant improvement of the body contour.
The fat comes from the abdomen, hips, knees, arms, etc. It is processed in a special way and then through a small incision of 2-3 mm it is injected into the chest.
Fat transfer is ideal for:
One of the disadvantages of the technique is that 40-60 of the fat placed will be absorbed so that in some people a new session may be needed.
Not all individuals are ideal simply because they do not have as much fat as they think to undergo this procedure.
Anaesthesia: Intoxication or general anaesthesia.
Place: Organized and fully equipped clinic.
Duration: 2 hours.
Eve: A few hours or an overnight stay.
Working: after 3-7 days.
