breast augmentation
find out how breast augmentation help you to be more self confident - prices, photos and sophisticated concepts about breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is a procedure of instantaneous gratification - produces an immediate and impressing transformation. Breast augmentation adds volume and projection the breasts and improves better consistency because the silicone gel implant is more solid than mammary tissue.
If you want a breast augmentation with silicone gel, implant you must make important choices about the surgical incision location, breast implant position and about implant size, shape and texture.
If you visite three plastic surgeons, you receive three different suggestions for your breast augmentation. This doent mean that one surgeon is right and the other two are wrong. That happens because breast augmentation is a procedure with various possible approaches. Each plastic surgeon performs a breast augmentation in the way that gives better results from their hands.
breast augmentation - surgical possibilities
Breast augmentation is ideal for natural small breasts, reduced by breastfeeding or after mastectomy.
breast augmentation partially correct asymmetry
If you have a small difference between the breasts, breast augmentation may reduce the difference using an implant in the small breast. But if the difference is very large, the small breast may haven't sufficient skin to wrapping the implant and will not result in the same volume effect the other breast. In this case, before your breast augmentation, the skin of small breast should be expanded with an expander for a few months to create enough skin.
breast augmentation partially correct tubular breasts
In the case of tubular breasts (small and pointed), breast augmentation works with limited results. In this case, silicone gel implants can cause "double bubble" effect. The solution may be working on patient characteristics and implant shape.
breast augmentation partially correct droopy breast
breast augmentation can fill the extra skin and increase the upper part of the breast. However, breast augmentation don't raise the nipple and don't reduce the excess skin. If your breasts are very droopy, first you need breast lift and after a breast augmentation.
breast augmentation partially correct unusual shapes
In some breasts, the nipples pointing to the side or down. Although during the breast augmentation your surgeon makes adjustments to position the implants to alleviate the problem, the breasts will probably continue to have the same problem.
breast augmentation partially correct breasts separated from each other
Breasts near each other are more attractive and many women want this effect after breast augmentation. Breast augmentation don't change the breasts position - if your breast are separated from each other, probably they will be separeted after breast augmentation.
breast augmentation correct large areola and inverted nipples
During your breast augmentation you can take to reduce the areola size and to correct inverted nipples.
breast augmentation - incisions place
breast augmentation - silhouette under the breast
Probably, it's the most common technique. The scar is hidden along the breast silhouette. This technique offers the plastic surgeon excellent visibility of anatomical structures during breast augmentation. But if the scar heal badly, may be visible when you're lying or naked.
breast augmentation - around the areola
The incision around the areola disguises very well the scar because the natural color transition in this area. However, nipple is the focal point of the breast, any imperfection can be obvious. Also, there is a risk of nipple numbness.
breast augmentation - armpits
The incision in armpits is situated further away from the place where the silicone gel implants will be placed. The possibility of asymmetry is higher than in other breast augmentation techniques.
Many plastic surgeons use this technique only for implants that are placed behind the muscle. The placement of implants in front of the muscle through this incision leads to greater technical challenge therefore is not offered often. If there is a problem in Postoperative, this requires a second procedure, the plastic surgeon should do an external incision, usually in silhouette under the breast.
The scar is well hidden in the armpit, but can be visible if you raise your arms, unlike the two previous methods that may leave scars visible only when you are naked.
breast augmentation - scars visibility
Usually the scars of a breast augmentation are unobtrusive. The visibility of the scar depends on the tone of skin and the healing process - keep the scar under tension, smoking or using certain medications can compromise the quality of the scar.
breast augmentation - loss of sensitivity
Many women are worried about the effect that breast augmentation can have on the sensitivity of the breasts, in particular, the nipple. Many plastic surgeons conclude that the size of the implant is the factor that most influences the sensitivity breast.
A larger implant requires a larger bag to accommodate the implant into the breast and this affects the nerve fibers that supply the skin. This can occur with implants placed in front of the chest muscle.
There are certainly some loss of sensation after breast augmentation. In general, temporary, but may take up to six months to restore sensitivity.
breast augmentation - position of silicone gel implants
breast augmentation - in front of the muscle
The implant position in front of the muscle offers many advantages. This is a small operation with comfortable and speedy recovery. The breasts immediately become attractive because the swelling is minimal.
This technique is indicated for breast augmentation for women who have adequate body fat or breast tissue to serve as a cushion between the implant and skin. For athletes women, this position gives less breast distortion when the breast muscle is contracted during the exercise. The disadvantage includes increased risk of capsular contracture and more interference with mammography.
breast augmentation - behind the muscle
The implant position behind the muscle offers lower risk of capsular contracture and less interference with mammography.
Women with thin or small breasts get better cosmetic result with a silicone gel implant in this position because this provides greater spacing between the implant and skin.
After breast augmentation, the silicone gel implant in this position requires a longer period of recovery with discomfort and swelling. Athletes women may notice a slight distortion of the breasts to flex the pectoral muscle during the exercise.
breast augmentation - size of silicone gel implant
When choosing the size of the implant you should consider that the larger the implant the greater the potential displacement - and the desired size should be proportional to the rest of the body.
If you want big breasts, do not hesitate to tell the plastic surgeon. Your honesty is the only way the surgeon achieve the desired result. This is not the time to be modest.
Communication is key. The more honest with yourself - better will be your satisfaction with breast augmentation.
breast augmentation - shape of silicone gel implants
The silicone gel implants with round shape is designed to give the "hamburger" appearance and the anatomical shape is designed to provide more volume in the lower part of the breast.
breast augmentation - silicone gel implants with round shape
Implants with round shape can rotate freely round under the breast without aesthetic consequences.
breast augmentation - silicone gel implants with round anatomical
Some plastic surgeons say that the anatomical shape provides a more natural outcome - others say it makes no difference because the implants will take the round shape during the healing process after breast augmentation.
The anatomic implant may rotate slightly and result in little asymmetry. To reduce the risk of rotation, some plastic surgeons recommend textured anatomic implant.
breast augmentation - texture of silicone-gel implants
breast augmentation - smooth implants
Offers lower risk of shrinkage and increased risk of displacement when compared to textured implant.
breast augmentation - textured implant
This implant has a rough textured surface that adheres to the breast tissue and tends to stay in position. The textured implant is designed to offer lower risk of capsular contracture, although some plastic surgeons say that the risk of capsular contracture is comparable to the smooth texture and cause fluid accumulation around the implants.
breast augmentation - possible complications
When we talk about breast augmentation complications do not mean that this will happen - of course, the plastic surgeon is able to assess the risks background. The possible complications of breast augmentation are:
1% - simmastia after breast augmentation
During breast augmentation the skin between the breasts may lose their attachment to the breast bone. Fortunately, simmastia is rare, with less than one per cent of risk.
To minimize the risk, the plastic surgeon recommends the appropriate texture and volume of implants and the breast modeling girdle.
4% - displacement after breast augmentation
After breast augmentation, due to capsular contracture, the silicone gel implants can move from the original position. A significant displacement can affect the natural appearance of breasts and require a revision surgery.
To minimize the risk, the plastic surgeon recommends the appropriate texture and volume of implants and the breast modeling girdle.
10% - capsular contracture after breast augmentation
After breast augmentation, the natural process of healing can develop scar tissue around the implants. It's not a big problem when the scar tissue covers the silicone gel implants and can happen months or years after breast augmentation.
The risk of developing a capsular contracture after the breast augmentation varies from five to ten percent, according to several studies. It seems, 10% of women develops "mild" capsular contracture and five percent is "serious" capsular contracture.
Capsular contracture, regardless of severity, don't need to be treated, unless the woman look for improvements. Mild contracture can be improved with specific exercises. Serious contracture need a second surgery to remove scar tissue and to place a new implant. However, there is no guarantee that the capsular contracture not happen again.
15% - loss of nipples sensitivity after breast augmentation
The loss of nipples sensitivity occurs in 15 percent of women following a breast augmentation. Dormancy is often temporary, but may be permanent.
Fortunately, the increase of nipples sensitivity is more common than the loss of sensitivity. Probably, this happens because of the improvement in body image and increased sexual confidence. The breast augmentation don't prejudice the nipples erection.
0% - breast cancer after breast augmentation
Breast augmentation don't increase or decrease the risk of breast cancer. The women "with" or "no" silicone gel implants have same risk.
However, the implants can interfere with the ability of mammography to evaluate breast tissue. The presence of implants may delay the diagnosis of breast cancer.
Women with a history of breast cancer in the family have an increased risk of developing the disease. In this case, because of the diagnosis difficulty, they should reconsider carefully the breast augmentation. If you are in this group of risk, talk to the plastic surgeon about the possibility to put the implants behind the pectoral muscle.
Because of high demand for breast augmentation was developed to "Ecklund Mammography", especially developed for breast implants with silicone gel. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound are also excellent resources.
free - breastfeeding after breast augmentation
After breast augmentation, the ability to breastfeed and content of breast milk are will not suffer by silicone implants.
During pregnancy, the breast skin is expanded to accommodate the growth of breasts. After the pregnancy, the breasts return to normal size. But the skin may lose the firmness and the breasts will fall. As silicone gel implant don't change the position, may result in an ugly aesthetic effect.
After the pregnancy, not all women with implants developed this problem. Women with good skin elasticity are less prone.
