Mammoplasty is considered to be one of the most popular plastic surgeries in the world. Why do women do this? It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally. Some believe that nature has not endowed them with a sufficiently lush bust, while others want to quickly restore their previous form after childbirth and breastfeeding.
German scientists have recently conducted a survey among patients in cosmetic surgery clinics and identified the main reasons why women are fearlessly forced to undergo surgery.
- "I am a mother of three children and I feed on all mother's milk. As a result, my breasts shrank significantly and the skin on it tightened. "
- "I was very fat since childhood and now I have finally lost weight. I sat on a diet for a long time, but I did not have time to engage in sports. Therefore, the breasts were as ugly as they were. "
- "Several years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The right breast was seized. I do not like Inlay's prosthesis. I want to be a real woman. "
- "My breasts are very small and because of that I was constantly disgusted at school. I still feel vulnerable as a little girl and because of this I have big problems in my personal life. "I know when I enlarge my breasts, everything will change. "
- "This is my last hope to have a beautiful, firm breast. I was suffering for a long time, I was doing special exercises and taking pills, but everything was useless. "The operation is better. "
- "Men just love big breasts. The chances of my successful marriage after surgery will be much higher. "I'm sure I will find a better job than now. "
- "By nature, the left breast is bigger than the right. This is terribly ugly. "I find it difficult to choose underwear and I am ashamed to undress in front of a loved one. "
These are just the most popular answers. According to research, the average age of women who come to a plastic surgeon is constantly decreasing. Nearly half of the patients are young women under 25 years of age. Interestingly, about 3% of respondents are girls under 20 years old. Why mammoplasty is needed at such a delicate age is a mystery. After all, the breasts are still growing at this time and may acquire the desired volume and shape.
Medical causes of breast augmentation
- Improve the shape of the mammary glands after losing weight very quickly. The breasts run, the volume decreases, ugly stretch marks appear on the skin. Silicone implants give the breast a beautiful shape, making it dense and rich.
- During pregnancy, the breasts noticeably enlarge due to hormonal changes in the body, and on the contrary, after breastfeeding, on the contrary, it is sharply "spoiled".
- As a result of disruption of the hormonal system, the breasts may not grow at all or may not form properly. In such cases mammoplasty is recommended.
- The absence of one or both breasts can be caused by a mastectomy (complete removal of the breast). An amazing example is Angelina Jolie, who decided to have a mastectomy because of her high risk of developing cancer. The entire breast tissue of the actor was removed and implants were installed. The only thing that reminds us of this is the small scars under the breast. Needless to say, both surgeries did not have any negative impact on his appearance and career.
When is mammoplasty strictly contraindicated?
- The breasts are not yet fully formed. The optimal age for surgery is 18 to 50 years.
- You suffer from breast diseases. Surgery can lead to serious complications.
- You have very little subcutaneous fat.
- The rib is severely deformed and has scars.
- The mammologist and surgeon gave a negative conclusion to the results of your examination. If one specialist refuses, then there is a serious reason for this. No need to look for another plastic surgeon necessarily.
