For what purpose is carried out, the breast surgery and to whom it is contraindicated

Breast plastic surgery often matter with a view to increasing its volume - in this case using special implants. Wires and breast reduction surgery, as well as its lift and plastic nipples. In all of these operations have their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, as well as side effects.

Often the cause of side effects after breast surgery is the wrong patient selection, excluding all the indications and contraindications when a plastic surgeon is guided only by the patient's wishes.

There are common to all breast plastic surgery contraindications, which is required to adhere to. The first is any tumor, both malignant and benign - operation can stimulate their growth.

Another significant contraindication is diabetes Diabetes - threatening and incurable disease  Diabetes - threatening and incurable disease

Side effects that may occur immediately after surgery

Immediately after surgery, side effects may be negligible, with time they pass. These side effects include erythema, edema Prevention and treatment of edema - it is important to understand the root cause  Prevention and treatment of edema - it is important to understand the root cause
 , Pain and hematoma at the site of surgery. Sometimes while holding violation of the sensitivity in this area (decrease in sensitivity, sensation of pins and needles, and so forth) but it goes fast enough. Bleeding after breast augmentation surgery are rare and mostly in patients with reduced ability of the blood to clot.

But there can be significant side effects. So, when infected surgical wounds in the future may change the appearance of the breast, the development of scars. Perhaps the development and keloid scars - this side effect has been dependent on the individual woman. It is manifested in the form of bright shiny pink scar in place of surgical wounds, prone to sprawl.

Sometimes, if disturbed innervation of the nipple, changing their sensitivity - such changes may be permanent.

Long-term side effects of breast augmentation surgery

After breast augmentation surgery with implants may overgrowth around dense connective tissue, which makes the mammary gland is too dense, inelastic and substantially reduces the effect of cosmetic surgery. This side effect is known as capsular contracture, it can only be eliminated with the new plastic surgery to remove and replace the implant and the excision of the capsule. Using modern implants with a textured surface reduced number of such side effects.

After some time after the operation is also possible leakage of the implant - it's not very scary, because modern implants are made from safe materials, neutral with respect to human tissues, which can keep the form for a long time. The implant can also result in injury to burst or excessive compression, which would result in an immediate or gradual (depending on the nature and form of the implant rupture) change shape the breast Forms of Breast importantly - immutability  Forms of Breast importantly - immutability
 . In this case, the operation will only remove or replace the prosthesis.

If the implant was placed in a special "pocket" of the woman's own tissue, it can change its position, respectively, and the breast loses its shape. Fix it can only reoperation.

Sometimes, particularly if used too big implants, mammary glands are too close to each other or fused. This side effect can be corrected by means of the operation and replacement of the implant too large to smaller in size.

Finally, a significant side effect may be to reduce the possibility of early detection of breast cancer, as the implant can close the growing tumor, and it is difficult to be detected by ultrasonic and radiographic methods.

When conducting plastic chest every woman should know that any surgery is always fraught with side effects and complications, the development of which depends equally on how to work the plastic surgeon and the characteristics of the body of the woman.

Augmentation breast reconstruction

This surgery is performed more often. All the methods of its well developed and today the operation is almost no complications. Augmentation breast reconstruction involves the use of them for the increase of silicone implants. In our time available is very reliable and safe implants, which after some time covered by a network of connective tissue, and how to grow together with the tissue of the breast. The shape of the implants usually chooses the woman.

Plastic for breast enlargement is performed under general anesthesia. On the skin of the chest of the patient makes a small incision through which the surgeon in the anterior chest muscle makes the pocket where the implant and placed. Incisions for this purpose can be done in different places: under the breast or armpit. In any case, after the operation will be imperceptible scars as hide themselves in the natural folds. Of course, the scar itself is not coarse, because the seam is applied special, beauty.

Immediately after surgery, the chest, of course, will be a little sick because of swelling of tissues. It also remain after surgery bruising. During the recovery period can not have physical activity, steam bath Sauna and health: the benefits and harms of bath procedures  Sauna and health: the benefits and harms of bath procedures
   and sunbathing. It is also recommended to wear special underwear which supports the breast and allows to maintain its shape. But all this takes place, and after a month and a half, you will see the final result.

Reduces breast reconstruction

It seems to be easier to cut rather than boost. But not in the breast, tissue which is particularly soft and does not tolerate injury. In response to the trauma of breast tissue cells simply die. If these cells are many, then there is tissue necrosis. This is very dangerous, because during tissue necrosis produces a lot of toxic products that can cause intoxication, threatening the woman's life.

However, this operation is carried out and in the capable hands no complications. Reduced breast make both cosmetic purpose, and therapeutic, because too large mammary gland can result in curvature of the spine, which in turn will change the shape of the chest and seriously affect the state of the internal organs.

Before the operation, the woman need to consult a gynecologist, endocrinologist, because if the increase in breast cancer was caused by violation of hormonal, conducted at the beginning of his correction, and then operate.

In order to cut the line were followed, the contours of her first applied to the skin of women special felt-tip pen in a standing position (after it takes a horizontal position, a clear line chart is no longer possible). Then begins the operation - the skin is cut in several places, removes excess breast tissue and skin, and the nipple and areola with the feeding of blood vessels and nerves is transferred to a new location. Thereafter, the skin cosmetic overlap seams.

Postoperatively, the breast swells, but if there is no necrosis, it passes quickly. Recommendations during the recovery period for this operation are the same as for augmentation surgery breast cancer.

Plastic surgery for breast lift

In the process of this breast reconstruction is pulled up and locked in the new position. This usually changes its position and nipple. If the patient wants, the surgeon can change the shape and the nipple.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia, excess skin is excised breast, redistributed their tissue, nipple and areola occupy a new position.

And postoperative recovery period was the same as with other types of plastics.

Breast reconstruction is a common operation, however, there are some difficulties, which knows only the surgeon, having trained in plastic surgery.
