Beautiful and voluminous breasts are the dream of every member of the fair sex, only nature does not reward everyone with this. Endoscopic breast augmentation involves a surgical procedure for implant placement.
The main advantages of the method
Among other techniques that allow you to increase breast volume and correct its defects, endoscopy has several advantages:
- Maintain the ability to breastfeed infants. The implant is located directly under the muscle. This location in no way interferes with the natural functions of the breast.
- The breast retains the most aesthetic appearance. The ability to position the suture in the arm makes it virtually invisible. After a few months the scar disintegrates and disappears. The implanted implant is not visible on the skin, so the breast retains its natural look.
- Short time of operation. With the use of an endoscope, the doctor is able to examine the entire operating field and control the process. The performed manipulations become more precise and the procedure itself lasts no more than an hour.
- The recovery period passes quickly. The tissues are not very traumatized during the operation, the healing process goes quickly and well. After 2 weeks the patient can already return to a normal lifestyle, but with some reservations.
Who is the breast augmentation procedure indicated for?
In what cases is endoscopic breast augmentation or breast correction planned? For example, the following:
- Insufficient development of the breast;
- Small breast size;
- Drooping breasts, which may be the result of a baby eating or abrupt weight loss;
- Chest asymmetry;
- Chest deformity as a result of injury or surgery.
Preparatory period
As with any surgery, mammoplasty requires some preparation of the patient, testing for the absence of any contraindications. You will need the following examinations before breast augmentation:
- Undergo breast ultrasound;
- Take a general blood test;
- Set blood clotting time;
- Get a blood test for AIDS, hepatitis, biochemistry, genital infections.
Prior consultation with an anesthesiologist will be required to facilitate pre-identification of possible complications of anesthesia during surgery. Any surgery is an interference with the body and a disruption of natural processes, so prior preparation must be taken very seriously.
How the operation is done
There are several ways of endoscopic breast augmentation:
- The wound is directly below the mammary gland. Its length usually does not exceed 3, 5 centimeters. The disadvantage of this option is that even with the most successful suture healing, when only a thin scar remains at the wound site, the scar may periodically remind both the woman and her partner of breast augmentation surgery.
- Wound near the breast. This option is full of results. First, scarring remains inevitable. Secondly, it is the inability to breastfeed future children. Some ducts and glandular tissue itself are damaged during surgery. In the future, if a woman wants to have a child and becomes pregnant, it will be impossible to breastfeed her. Another complication that most frightens patients who have chosen this particular method of breast augmentation is the possible complete loss of breast sensitivity. In this case the bust will already be defective.
- Operation via axillary access. It is considered to be the most successful and safe option for breast augmentation. Breast tissue remains intact, so feeding babies in the future will be possible without any problems. The scar that forms under the gallbladder will eventually disintegrate in six months, so it will not spoil the result at all. In general, the implant insertion procedure is more convenient with axial access under the chest muscle, but requires some endoscopic equipment. It will be necessary not only to cut the muscle tissue, but also to damage the large vessels going out here. In general, much less time is spent on the entire procedure. Breast augmentation through the groin makes it possible to significantly reduce the recovery period. If the clinic has a modern laser installation, the chances of a favorable outcome of the operation increase several times.
You should adjust your diet and review your diet one month before surgery. This is especially true for women who follow a regular diet. Lack of trace elements and vitamins leads to poor healing of damaged tissues. Within a few weeks they stop taking all the medications that can affect blood clotting. Typically, their list is issued for consultation by a surgeon or anesthesiologist. In three days, you should try to quit smoking: because of this bad habit can form a rough and ugly scar.
Under no circumstances should you drink alcohol before or after surgery. Alcohol is the most severe contraindication to anesthesia and all medications.
The operation is usually performed in an operating room where sterility maintenance is guaranteed.
Contraindications
Like any medical procedure, endoscopic mammoplasty has a number of contraindications, in the presence of which it is worth refusing breast augmentation surgery to avoid further negative consequences. ენიYour include:
- Any neoplasm in the area of the mammary glands (both malignant and benign);
- Current infectious diseases;
- Chronic or acute diseases of the internal organs;
- diabetes;
- Blood diseases;
- Poor blood clotting;
- Small age;
- If less than one year has elapsed since the end of breastfeeding;
- Mental disorders or unstable psychological state of the patient.
Recovery
On the first day after surgery, the patient is usually taken to the hospital ward, where he or she is supervised by medical staff and provided with qualified medical care if necessary.
During the first week after breast augmentation, patients experience pain at the site of the wound. Painkillers are recommended to reduce this negative effect. Under no circumstances should physical activity be allowed. You should avoid sharp waves in the arms, try not to lift them at shoulder level. For three months you will have to forget about going to the bath or sauna and not visiting the solarium. It is strictly forbidden to perform any procedure on the breast during this period.
The cost of breast augmentation surgery can vary not only depending on what material the implant is made of, but also on the surgeon's experience and reputation. The price difference can be twice. Before choosing a cheap option, you need to think about whether you are willing to risk your health and leave it in the hands of a complete stranger.
The successful outcome of breast endoscopic augmentation depends not only on the future appearance, but also on the state of health. Before you decide on such an important and responsible step, it is worth weighing all the pros and cons, make sure that there are no contraindications or grounds for concern. In case of slight deviations, it is better to refuse the operation or postpone it. Re-mammoplasty is extremely risky and not all specialists will take it.
