Many women are not satisfied with the actual size and shape of their breasts.There are many ways to correct mammary glands.One of the radical measures is surgical intervention, when breast enlargement occurs through the implantation of implants.Other popular methods for changing the size of the mammary glands include creams, traditional methods, physical exercises that strengthen the pectoral muscle, and even the use of hormonal medications.
It is advisable to carry out any of the methods of breast enlargement under the supervision of an experienced specialist.Even seemingly harmless herbs can cause harm to your health.Proper nutrition also affects the growth of glandular cells, but the ideal diet must be created individually by a qualified nutritionist, in accordance with the characteristics of the female body and taking into account the presence of chronic diseases.
To enlarge the mammary glands, you can resort to active physical exercise.In this case, there is no increase in size, but rather volume correction, which is explained by the structure of the breast.The anatomical characteristic is the presence of adipose, glandular and connective tissue.If training is effective in correcting abdominal or pelvic muscles, then the lack of muscles in the mammary glands makes attempts to enlarge breasts through exercise useless.With the help of a sports complex, you can tighten your chest muscles and get rid of fat deposits, lifting your breasts, but without increasing their size.
Radical methods
Among the effective ways to increase breast size, breast augmentation ranks first in popularity.Implant surgery is available to most women, despite the high cost.Choosing a plastic surgeon with high professionalism and long experience must be done very carefully.
The second method of surgical breast augmentation is lipofilling - transplantation of the fat layer into the mammary gland.Breast correction can be performed in several procedures to obtain results.
The third method to increase breast size is injections.This method has no long-term effect;The breasts return to their previous size after six months or a year due to the reabsorption of the injected substances.
Breast augmentation
Breast enlargement is almost always associated with plastic surgery.Augmentation mammoplasty allows you to enlarge your breasts with the installation of gel or silicone endoprostheses.Endoscopy is a surgical technique that uses an endovideo camera, which allows the implant to be installed in the desired location of the mammary gland with maximum precision.The possibility of the formation of keloid scars, inflammatory processes and other complications is excluded.
Implant installation methods
There are different ways of installing implants, aiming not only to add volume, but also to correct symmetry and correct the shape of the breasts.
- The location of the implant under the gland.This method is less traumatic.
- When implants are placed under the arm, the operation takes longer.The advantage of this method is the impossibility of lowering the endoprosthesis, as the breast tissue supports it.
Breast augmentation can be performed using different techniques, depending on the access option.
With the submammary method, the suture is located directly under the breast, meaning there is no possibility of damage to the glandular tissue.When the implant is inserted under the armpit, trauma to the gland is eliminated and the seam becomes practically invisible.
- The areolar method is an incision along the lower edge of the areola.
- Transabdominal access is advisable when increasing breast size in conjunction with abdominoplasty;the incision is made in the navel region.This type is used less frequently.
- Periareolar method - an incision is made along the lower edge of the areola, with its help you can get rid of nipple asymmetry and correct it.
- The axillary method involves an incision in the armpit along the posterior wall of the pectoralis major muscle;it is rarely used as it requires the skill of a surgeon.
Among the most commonly performed breast augmentation operations, submammary and axillary implant insertion methods are the main ones.Silicone or saline solution can serve as filling for endoprostheses.
Preparation
Preparing for breast augmentation surgery involves undergoing diagnostic tests and procedures:
- biochemical and general analyzes of blood and urine;
- determination of sugar level;
- mammography;
- Ultrasound;
- fluorography;
- electrocardiogram.
Two weeks before mammoplasty, you cannot drink alcohol, take blood-thinning medications, and smoking is not recommended.
Absolute contraindications for breast augmentation surgery are age under 18, pregnancy and breastfeeding, presence of cancer and diseases that threaten the patient's life, diabetes mellitus, signs of hemophilia or viral infections.
Operation method
For breast augmentation, endotracheal or intravenous anesthesia is used.The doctor makes an incision, moves the muscles away from the mammary gland and forms a pocket for the endoprosthesis to pass through.The implant is inserted, the soft tissue is sutured, and a cosmetic suture is applied.The duration of breast augmentation is no more than 1.5-2 hours.The chest is fixed with a pressure bandage and, if necessary, a drain is installed to remove excess fluid.
Rehabilitation period
Recovery after surgery involves following a work and rest schedule, which depends on the characteristics of the female body.During the first 24 hours after breast augmentation surgery, you should remain in bed and not raise your arms.The first week after surgery corresponds to any period of rehabilitation after surgery with general anesthesia: liquids are allowed after 6 to 12 hours, food every other day is liquid food, you should eat in small portions.
It is recommended to wear a special bra for a month and not go to the pool, gym or sauna for at least 5 weeks.Physical activity and weight lifting are prohibited for 2 months.
If all the requirements are met, after a year the breasts regain their shape, the scar becomes almost imperceptible and the woman begins to look more attractive.
Complications after breast augmentation surgery
Among the most common complications after breast augmentation surgery are pain and tissue swelling.If the doctor is not professional, bruising and capsular contractures, suture dehiscence, infection and loss of nipple sensitivity may occur.Treatment can be conservative or surgical.
A rare consequence of breast augmentation surgery is deformation of the implant.The installed silicone begins to migrate, which will be the reason for repeated surgeries.Reasons also include:
- prosthesis rupture;
- breast prolapse;
- deformation of the areola.
The useful life of a high-quality implant is more than 15 years.Over time, it can be replaced, but if the woman is satisfied with the size of her breasts, a lift is performed to correct the shape.
One type of mammoplasty is mastopexy.The advantage of the operation is the endoscopic method of inserting the implant, displacing the nipple and eliminating excess skin.This method is convenient for complications such as ptosis and prolapse.For sagging breasts, laser correction can be used.
Lipofilling
Modern surgery is developing at a rapid pace and today there is a safe, non-surgical and perfect way to increase the size and volume of breasts, which many women resort to.Lipofilling is a technique that aims to transplant one's own fat cells from problem areas of the abdomen, buttocks and thighs to the mammary gland.Among the advantages are:
- minimal complications;
- no scars;
- impossibility of rejecting transplanted tissues;
- absence of scars on the chest, thanks to the technique used;
- absence of allergic reactions;
- fat is a natural material well distributed under the skin.
The procedure involves collecting fatty tissue, processing it in a special device, and pumping it into the mammary gland without the use of general anesthesia.Thus, breasts can be increased by 1.5-2 sizes.Complications include swelling, bruising, itching and pain in the donor areas and chest area.More serious complications, such as fat contouring and the development of inflammatory processes in the mammary glands, are associated with plastic surgeon errors.
Rehabilitation after breast lipofilling lasts about two weeks, during which a woman should not visit the bathhouse, sauna, solarium or exercise.
Complete fat grafting occurs within 3-6 months;during this period it is necessary to undergo additional corrective injections, as fat cells can be destroyed.The effectiveness of the technique is that the result of breast augmentation is almost lifelong, as the fat in the chest area remains for a long time due to the lack of muscle fibers.
Injections
Non-surgical breast enlargement methods include injections of various medications.Mesotherapy is a technique that aims not only to increase the size and volume of the breasts, but also to treat diseases of the mammary glands.
Indications for:
- increased skin turgor
- elimination of ptosis in the initial stages of its appearance
- elimination of stretch marks and other obvious defects
For injections, different materials are used for different purposes.Hyaluronic acid is used to moisturize the skin of the mammary glands and maintain its elasticity.
Elastin and collagen form strong connective tissue, fight ptosis and prevent its formation.Organic silicon can help fade stretch marks and scars.Oil extracts enhance the skin's protective functions, nourish and moisturize the skin.The product is selected by the doctor depending on the patient's needs and problems.
The use of hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular breast enlargement methods.Hyaluronate can be used in its pure form or as part of combined preparations called fillers.They have high resistance to resorption and can be made of silicone, polyacrylamides and polymethyl methacrylates.The benefits of breast enlargement injections include:
- procedure safety;
- no additional preparation required;
- no incisions are required;
- without anesthesia;
- natural shape due to the plasticity of the material;
- minimum rehabilitation period.
Significant disadvantage: hyaluronic preparation is very plastic and is not suitable for women with weak pectoral muscles.Breasts can be increased by just one size using hyaluronic acid.
Carrying out the procedure
First, the skin on the chest is treated with an antiseptic and then an anesthetic is administered.The injection with the component is done slowly, with a very fine needle so as not to damage the thin skin.For effectiveness and long-lasting results, several procedures are performed 2 to 3 weeks apart.
Side effects after injecting fillers include swelling, mild pain, and redness at the injection sites.Rare complications include allergic reactions and increased blood pressure.
Contraindications for injections to enlarge the glands:
- pregnancy or planning, breastfeeding;
- presence of breast tumors;
- diseases of the mammary glands of various origins (mastopathy);
- autoimmune processes;
- acute and chronic infectious diseases.
The result of breast enlargement after filler injection is noticeable immediately.The effectiveness is about one year, due to the properties of the gel, oils and other substances, which dissolve.The exception is fillers with synthetic additives - their shelf life is about 5-7 years.To maintain the desired volume and size, it is advisable to repeat the correction procedure.
Precautions for surgical interventions to increase breast size
To ensure that radical breast enlargement methods are not burdened by side symptoms, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's instructions.For each breast augmentation method (implantation, filler or fat injections) there are limitations.You should not hide your genetic predisposition to cancer from your doctor, as this factor is the reason for refusing mammoplasty, lifting and hyaluronic acid injections.It is not recommended to carry out gland enlargement procedures if you are planning a pregnancy, although the installed endoprostheses do not affect changes in the mammary gland during conception and feeding.
If you experience any discomfort or pain, you should consult a doctor.A mammologist will help you deal with side effects and prevent the development of the inflammatory process.
