Augmentation mammaplasty is a surgical technique that attempts to improve the shape and volume of the female breast.<\/p>\n
It is usually signposted for women whose breast have not developed as they wanted and also when there is a difference in size between the two breasts or the natural volume has been lost as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding or sudden weight loss.<\/p>\n
In most cases, the use of breast implants is used to achieve this goal, but in a few, breast augmentation with fat using the patient’s own fat as filling material for restoration and remodelling, being autologous material, avoiding any possible rejection or incompatibility.<\/p>\n
This is not a substitute technique for breast augmentation, since it is indicated in patients who only seek moderate increase or more firmness of the breast and do not want to wear a prosthesis. Sometimes a combined technique is performed to improve the breast contour, filling the upper poles to avoid capsular contracture.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_tabs container_bg_color=”#ffffff”][vc_tab title=”Preparation” tab_id=”1495355065953-3-4″][vc_column_text]\n
Blood analysis, electrocardiogram and X-ray are required.<\/p>\n
At the preoperative visits, each patient is analysed in detail in terms of volume, projection, physical constitution and skin quality. In order to choose the implant size accurately and to establish the appropriate dimensions, the desired length, height and projection are measured. Volume tests can also be performed with the patient, filling the bra to the size you want to obtain.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Hospitalization” tab_id=”1493360346-2-43″][vc_column_text]\n
This surgery requires a hospital admission of 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Mammaplasty\u00a0consists of introducing a mammary prosthesis either through the periareolar route (through the lower border of the areola) or via the sub-mammary route (in the sulcus of the breast). The implant can be housed under the gland or beneath the pectoral muscle, the latter being preferable, since it is more natural and protected by the tissues themselves.<\/p>\n
As a result of the operation, a temporary loss of sensitivity may be noticed in the breast area as it recovers gradually.<\/p>\n
When an increase with fat is performed, it is removed by conventional liposuction, treated with centrifugation and washed with physiological saline. This fat is then introduced into the breast through small cutaneous incisions, forming a series of intertwined tunnels searching for the best vascularised site (intramuscular and subcutaneous) to facilitate the grafting. The volume to be introduced should not be excessive to avoid fat necrosis. In most cases, only one treatment session is necessary, although in some patients more than one is required to achieve the desired result, especially in cases where large volumes of fatty tissue are required.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Postoperative” tab_id=”1493401144718-3-10″][vc_column_text]\n
A compression bandage will be worn for 3-4 days and will then be replaced by a sports bra. This bra keeps the prosthesis firm and prevents seromas and bruises. It usually takes about 30 days. During the first week, strenuous activity with the arms should be avoided.<\/p>\n
The intradermal stitches are removed at 12 days and then the patient is instructed to gradually begin normal activity.<\/p>\n
After one week from the operation, manual lymphatic drainage is recommended and when stitches are removed, the use of rosehip oil on the scar and sun cream protection is recommended for 6-8 months after the procedure.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][\/vc_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row column_padding=”2″ css=”.vc_custom_1495357131566{padding-bottom: -20px !important;}”][vc_column][mk_ornamental_title font_family=”none” font_size=”20″ font_weight=”500″ txt_transform=”none” ornament_color=”#dd9933″]Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Implants and Mammaplasty
