It's a pleasure to have you here on site Plastic Surgery and Dental Clinic, Czech Republic!
You naturally feel good about yourself when you can wear a close-fitting top with confidence - or choose a bra because it's pretty, not just because it fits.
Making your breasts the size and shape you're happy with can change your life in many ways. The emotional aspects are important, but you may also be looking forward to feeling more comfortable.
Many women find that the size and shape of their breasts affects their self-confidence. If you feel that your breasts are out of proportion with the rest of your body, or that age or breastfeeding have caused them to shrink or lose their shape, a Breast Augmentation surgery can help you.
Breast augmentation is a surgery designed to enlarge the breasts. This Breast Augmentation surgery is frequently sought by women who are unhappy with the small size of their breasts, sometimes after pregnancy or weight loss.
If you're considering breast augmentation with breast implants, the following information will provide you with a good introduction to the procedure.
During the consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss the changes that you would like to make in your appearance. Because breast enlargment is a highly personal decision, you’ll want to take time to discuss all of your concerns and desires, including how large you want your breasts to be.
Show your doctor pictures of breast sizes you like. Doctor will be able to determine which size breast implants will achieve your preferred size.
Your doctor will also explain the different options available to you, including incision type, location of the implant, type of breast implant, and whether a breast lift might also be beneficial.
Breast implants are used to make your breasts larger, firmer and fuller. Breast implants are available in a variety of shapes, types and sizes and are usually made of an outer layer of silicone, filled with either silicone gel or salt water (saline).
These saline breast implants are made of a silicone rubber sack filled with a saline solution. Under certain conditions, such as reconstructive surgery, silicone breast implants can be used instead.
During the breast augmentation operation your surgeon may make cuts under your breast, around your nipples or near your armpits. The implants are inserted through the cuts, increasing the size and altering the shape of your breasts.
Breast augmentation consists of making an incision, lifting the breast tissue, creating a pocket in the chest/breast area, and placing an envelope containing a soft, natural feeling implant material underneath (breast implant).
The breast implants can be placed either under the chest muscle or directly under the breasts. Placement considerations include the anatomy of your breasts, soreness after surgery, exercise activities and interference with mammograms.
Breast augmentation is carried out under a general anaesthetic and you will usually stay in hospital for one to two nights. You will also need to wear a special supportive bra in the first few weeks after surgery to insert breast implants.
In spite of the initial discomfort, most women report that they are very satisfied with the results of their breast enlargment surgery.
When you wake up you will feel tired, sore, and stiff. It is important to take the medication prescribed to you by your doctor.
Your surgeon may prescribe an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory medication to be taken after the surgery. It is a good idea to have these prescriptions filled beforehand.
After several days, the gauze dressing will be removed. You may be required to wear a support bra to help your breasts form and maintain a pleasing, balanced shape. You may or may not be able to shower, depending on where your stitches are.
The stitches will come out within a week to ten days, but swelling may continue, gradually subsiding over several weeks. With the swelling, your breasts may seem hard and unnatural, but eventually they should soften to a more natural feel.
Your scars will be pink for several weeks. After several months they will begin to fade. You will probably be able to resume exercise and normal physical activities within a month or two, when the soreness has subsided.
Breast augmentation reliably increases the size of the breasts as well as possibly balancing body proportions. Clothes may fit better, and you may also experience an increase in confidence and self-esteem.
Breast augmentation makes the breasts larger for the life of the implant. Remember, also that larger breasts sag faster than smaller breasts, and augmented breasts do this as well.
Breast implants as part of plastic surgery
The advantages for placing the implants under the muscle include less interference with a mammography and less rippling in the upper half of the breast.
Placement of the implants under the muscle has few drawbacks, many of which are temporary. The discomfort after surgery can be heightened along with more swelling. You may also find that your breast appears to move when you are exercising your upper body.
Unfortunately, studies have not shown a consistent advantage of textured implants over smooth when it comes to capsular contractures.
The most plastic surgeons favor smooth implants for Breast Augmentation.
