Breast augmentation surgery with breast prosthesis surgery

 

What is breast prosthesis surgery?

Breast augmentation surgery is a safe, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure performed under a one- to two-hour procedure under general anesthesia. However, on the advice of specialists, before preparing for this surgery, it is better for the applicant to attend a consultation session with his surgeon, and things such as different methods of breast augmentation and the size and type of prosthesis should be determined based on the body shape.

 

The choice of prosthesis is usually made according to the width of the breast, the evaluation of the soft tissue covering of the breast and the breast tissue. Some people who have to undergo breast augmentation due to illness or other conditions may not feel well and think that they are losing their natural body shape. But they usually feel better about these changes over time and after the operation.

 

 

In breast prosthesis surgery, the surgeon makes incisions in three different places to insert the prosthesis: the armpit, the halo around the breast (the tissue around the nipple), the navel, or the crease under the breast. The prosthesis is then inserted into the body after making an incision in the top or bottom of the chest wall muscle. The body holds the prosthesis in place and prevents it from moving under the skin. The surgeon closes the incision and places the suture in place.

 

 

Types of breast prostheses in terms of appearance

Breast prostheses are divided into two general types.

 

1. Round breast prosthesis

"Round" breast prostheses are suitable for people who want their breasts to look more prominent. On the other hand, those who want a soft and well-shaped breast prosthesis usually choose these round prostheses.

 

 

The advantages of a round prosthesis are:

• Correction or revision surgery (in cases of prosthesis change, capsule contraction, prosthesis rupture and prosthesis rotation);

Repeated rotation of the prosthesis.

 

 

 

2. Tear breast prosthesis (anatomical or teardrop)

The "teardrop" breast prosthesis is useful for people who want their breast prosthesis to look more natural. In addition, those with very little or no breast tissue, people with flat, shapeless breasts, and women with very little soft tissue coverage, asymmetry in the breasts, or a defective appearance of the breasts are more natural to look at. It is best to use a teardrop breast prosthesis.

 

 

How many incisions are there for breast prosthesis surgery?

1. Incision in the crease under the breast;

2. Cut around the halo;

3. Underarm incision;

4. Incision around the umbilicus that is done in special cases.

 

Breast lift with prosthesis

Prosthetic breast lift or (mastopexy prosthesis) is one of the methods of lifting the breast with prosthesis. In this method, a breast prosthesis is used to correct sagging and enlarge the breasts.

 

In the mastopexy prosthesis method, the necessary incisions are made only in the areola and below the breast area. In this method, small breasts that need to increase in volume and asymmetrical breasts in terms of size and appearance can be corrected. In fact, this method is a combination of breast lift and breast prosthesis in which an internal lift is used to lift the breasts, and unlike the breast lift operation, there is no need for vertical incisions. Note that prosthesis and breast lift with this method is not possible for all people and it is better to do it with the opinion of a specialist and skilled doctor.

 

 

 

What does breast beauty mean?

Sometimes some young people consider large breasts to be beautiful. In fact, the beauty of the breast does not mean that it is too big. Very large breasts are beautiful only in a very short time and after one to two years, they will be associated with many complications. If you decide to have breast augmentation surgery, you should consult with your breast surgeon before having surgery to prevent such complications.

 

 

The shape of the breast after surgery is different for each person, because the prosthesis implant bed is not the same. Therefore, a person who has small and firm breasts after surgery will have a different breast shape than a person who has a history of breastfeeding, sagging and loose skin.

 

 

In all people, the muscular system, skin and breast tissue are different. Therefore, the definition of breast beauty is different for each person and beauty is defined for individuals in a specific context.

Description of prostheses

 

The outer layer of the breast prosthesis is made of silicone and in some cases polyethylene. Inside the prosthesis can be silicone gel or saline. Silicone prostheses have a more natural appearance than saline prostheses and come in a variety of shapes. Saline-filled prostheses have a relatively less natural appearance and are more likely to rupture.

 

 

 

Location of breast prosthesis

The location of the breast prosthesis on the muscle or under the pectoralis muscle is a specialized and surgical discussion and its location is determined depending on the prosthesis acceptance bed. Various factors are involved in choosing the location of the prosthesis, which are:

•Age

• Skin condition

• Future decision status (pregnancy measures)

•Job

•And …

Each of these parameters determines the type, size and location of the prosthesis.

 

 

 

Surgical process

In China, an incision is made under the breast, then the surgeon creates space for the prosthesis to be placed.

Placement of prostheses

Prostheses can be placed in different ways.

It is up to your doctor to decide how to place your prosthesis.

He can place the prosthesis completely on the breast muscle, just below the breast muscle, or half of it under the breast muscle.

 

 

 

Your doctor can also use a dual method.

During the consultation, the doctor will talk about all the placement methods and which method is more suitable for you.

The most important scale in choosing any of these methods is the thickness of the skin and adipose tissue.

If the skin is not thick enough, the prosthesis cannot be placed on the breast muscle Because it may become visible and take an abnormal shape.

Once the prosthesis is inserted by the surgeon, the incision is closed with absorbable sutures.

The wound is then covered with a layer of clear waterproof ointment and then closed with a sterile dressing.

Recovery and care after surgery

After breast prosthesis surgery, you usually stay in the clinic for 3 to 4 hours.

You will be discharged from the clinic after approval by your anesthesiologist and examination by your doctor.

After surgery, you should also drink fluids such as water, tea or foods that are digested faster.

After surgery, you may feel pressure and contraction in your breasts and a burning sensation in your nipples.

Of course, some people's breasts may remain numb for a while.

Also, one breast may be more sore and swollen than the other.

Inflammation peaks on the third day and then gradually subsides.

Generally, recovery after breast prosthesis surgery takes about 3 to 7 days.

If the prosthesis is placed under a muscle or is implanted in a dual way, recovery will take a little longer.

 

Chest prosthesis pain

Tell your doctor immediately if you have severe, unbearable pain after surgery that does not go away even with painkillers.

Of course, some pains are normal after surgery and you can use painkillers with a doctor's prescription.

 

 

 

The severity and timing of postoperative pain varies from person to person, due to factors such as:

Prosthesis size

• Location of the prosthesis

• Surgical procedure

• and capsular contraction

it depends.

 

 

Important points about breast prosthesis

It should be noted that breast prosthesis surgery does not help to eliminate sagging breasts. People who, in addition to enlarging their breasts, also want to remove sagging breasts, can also have breast lift surgery at the same time as the prosthesis.

Who can have breast prosthesis surgery?

Breast prosthesis surgery is a personal decision and should not be done based on the tastes and desires of others. This surgery has a high success rate.

People who intend to have this surgery must see the before and after photos of the patients before the surgery. This makes the patient have more realistic expectations than surgery.

 

Cost of breast prosthesis

The cost of breast prosthesis surgery depends on things like the surgeon's experience and background, the type of surgery performed, and the geographical location, and can include the following:

 

• The cost of anesthesia

• Hospital and surgical equipment

• Medical tests

• Prescribed drugs

• Surgeon's salary

Regarding insurance, it should be said that this surgery is not covered by insurance.

• Purpose and reason for surgery

• Medical conditions, any drug allergies and medical treatments

• Taking any medication, herbal supplements, vitamins and alcohol

• Family history of breast cancer

Check for tests such as mammograms or biopsies

 

 

 

Who is a candidate for a breast prosthesis?
