Who are the candidates for these operations?
People who already have reached their breast development between 18 and 20 years and would like to have more volume in their breasts.
There is no risk when performing this procedure
The anesthesia that we do in almost all surgical procedures under local anesthesia is accompanied by sedation. Sedation involves the administration continues throughout the operation of medicines that the patient be asleep (but natural sleep) and thus avoiding the risks of general anesthesia. Other advantages of deep sedation is that all surgeries can be performed on an outpatient basis, as the patient wakes up once the operation is taken one hour of rest in the room and then walks away to his house, duly accompanied.
Surgical Technique
Incisions:
The incision made to insert the breast implant within the breast can be located in different regions, first and most widely used and aesthetically less visible is what we call peri-areolar it would be along the bottom edge of the areola is pigmented skin that is below the nipple.
Another avenue of approach is the sub-mammary groove as the name suggests it is along the crease below the breast, and finally a way that is rarely used today is the axillary, ie under the arm.
Types of breast implants:
In this sense we can say that generically there are two types, textures and smooth, the former as the name implies have a textured surface that adheres well to deep tissue to run less risk of encapsulation, but we will explain what this is. The flat also has its advantages, be softer to the touch and are coated with three layers, so it is also called tri-layers.
Sizes of prostheses:
The sizes of breast implants are measured by cc3 (cubic centimeters) from 180cc to 600cc or more, which are obtained only by request, so the patient and the surgeon will agree what will be the ideal measure.
We also have two forms of breast implants, a high profile and another called low profile and will depend on the primitive form of the thorax and the breast of the patient, which led us to choose which one is best.
About the internal location of the breast implant.
They can be placed in front or behind the pectoralis major muscle, clinics SILHOUETTE, how retromuscular is always partial and bottom of the prosthesis is formed by the lower area of the breast. That way the implant is called DUAL Way and is the most widely used worldwide.
Each of these possibilities has its indications and should be left to the surgeon to decide which is the best alternative. The surgery takes about an hour, should be done in an operating room specially equipped for this purpose.
The post-operative is also done on an outpatient basis as the other operations, the patient should use a top in the first 48 hours, some compression, after 48 hours the surgeon removes the top and replaced by a bra-type anatomical or sports for ten days or more. By removing the top you should warn the patient that is not yet neither the form nor the final level and you have to take a few days to reach final deflation of the area.
A is called encapsulation.
Encapsulation is called a neo-tissue formation (totally benign), which is installed around the implant in the breast giving a touch harder consistency, can be several degrees on the Baker scale of 1 to 6, less more severe. Capsule can be avoided? One might answer that 80% yes, and the other 20% is left to the progress of each patient and must say that in that 20% have some weapons to fight it after it was installed. Eg, ultrasound, corticosteroid, massage, etc ...
Conclusion:
Breast implant surgery promptly resolve the need for patients to want a larger breast, post-operative is relatively fast, you should explain the pros and cons as we have done here anyway to better clarify the most important questions personally speak with the surgeon.
