Mammoplasty - operations to change the size and/or shape of the chest. It is customary to divide Mammoplasty into Augmentation (increase using endoprostheses) and reduction (decrease).
Breast enlargement
An indication for the Augmentation of Mammoplasty is one - the patient's desire to find the desired forms. Breast enlargement operations are carried out in three ways, depending on the type of access:
- axillary: a section of about 3 cm is made along the edge of the armpit
- Submammary: A section of about 5 cm is made under the chest, after which a pocket forms above or under the chest muscle where the implant is installed
- Circumarelar access: cut is made along the lower inner edge of the Areola and, as a rule, occupies half of its circle
The implant installation method is selected depending on the wishes of the patient, the condition of the mammary glands and other indications. Round and drop -shaped implants are used. Products are certified and safe.
How does the operation take place?
- Preliminary preparation: ultrasound of the mammary glands, consultation of a plastic surgeon, a complex of tests before surgery
- Purpose of the date of the operation
- The patient's examination by the doctor and marking
- Consultation of anesthesiologist and anesthesia
- Cut and formation of pockets for implant
- Implant installation
- Evaluation of the location of implants
- Correction (if necessary)
- Cutting cuts with a cosmetic seam
- Awakening, transfer to a hospital ward
During the operation, it is also possible to carry out a breast lift (Mastopexy).
Reducing the chest
Reducing and correction of the shape of the breast is carried out when outstanding forms cause discomfort to a woman - back pain, inflammation in a Brisket fold, inconvenience in everyday life and sports, difficulties in choosing underwear. Less commonly, endocrine disorders will become.
The operation is carried out by resection of glandular and adipose tissues. This is the first stage of the operation. The second is the removal of the skin of the skin, the pulling of the chest and giving it the necessary shape.

Rehabilitation after Mammoplasty takes from a couple of weeks to one and a half to two months. At this time, wearing special compression linen is required and it is recommended to abandon sports, attending baths and saunas. The plastic surgeon examines the patient immediately after the operation, as well as the next day after. Gives recommendations for the rehabilitation period.
