Mammoplasty

Who is shown mammoplasty?

Indications for breast correction surgery can be both aesthetic and medical. Aesthetic reasons – a woman’s dissatisfaction with the appearance of the breasts, developed against this background of complexes and depression, the desire to return the breasts to their former shape and get rid of existing defects.

A number of medical indications for breast augmentation include:

• Macropathy – a sharp increase in breast size.
• Micromastia is a congenital pathology of the breast of a very small size.
• Ptosis of the mammary glands – too sagging breasts.
• Involution of the mammary glands – a significant reduction in the size of the mammary glands as a result of lactation.

Types of breast correction

Breast augmentation surgery is the most popular type of breast implant surgery in Maksym Ivanchuk’s clinic. This type of surgery is a breast replacement with breast implants. The endoprosthesis acts as a modeling form, which determines the size of the breast as a result of surgery. It is made of elastic silicone material. In appearance, it resembles a solid capsule with a gel substance inside. It is noteworthy that the average duration of the operation is only 20-25 minutes. During this shortest possible period of time, patients receive the breasts of their dreams.

Breast lipofilling is another breast augmentation surgery where the patient’s own adipose tissue acts as an implant. This technique is considered one of the safest and most revolutionary in the correction of breast shape and size. During the operation, autotransplantation of fat cells is performed using high-tech equipment of the clinic.

Reduction mammoplasty is an operation to reduce the size and shape of the breast. This type of surgery is performed by removing adipose and glandular tissue, as well as excess skin. Reduction mammoplasty is used both for medical and aesthetic reasons, when breast hypertrophy causes serious psychological problems in women.

Contour mammoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the breasts by restoring their shape and size. Most often, contouring is used in case of sagging breast tissue. During the operation, the size of the areola is adjusted, the nipples are moved and the acquired and congenital asymmetry is eliminated.

Reconstructive mammoplasty is an operation to repair a breast damaged as a result of an injury, a failed operation or complete removal of the breast. This procedure is especially popular among women who have undergone mastectomy.

Implant replacement is a plastic surgery that is performed in cases where the patient wants to replace an old implant with a new one (larger or smaller). It is also used in cases where the old implant becomes unusable for certain reasons.

Gynecomastia removal is a type of mammoplasty used for men, in which surgically removed excess fat tissue in the breast.

Preparation for surgery

Preparation for the operation consists of several stages. First, the patient comes for an individual consultation with a doctor. Maxim Ivanchuk listens to the  wishes and gives his own recommendations on what size and shape of the implant is best to choose in this situation.

The next stage is a comprehensive medical examination and tests. This is necessary in order to avoid possible risks in advance and to determine the presence of contraindications to surgery. If the patient does not have any abnormalities, the plastic surgeon appoints the exact date of the operation and tells the patient how to properly prepare for breast augmentation.

Types of implants and methods of their placement

Depending on the shape of the breast the patient wants to get after the augmentation procedure, there are two types of implants: round and teardrop-shaped. Round implants are used in cases when it is necessary to lift the breast, to create a “push-up” effect. Most often, this type is chosen by women after pregnancy, lactation or age. The second implants are called anatomical because they allow you to create the most natural effect of plastic. The teardrop shape completely corresponds to the natural shape of the mammary glands. This type is preferred by young girls who have not yet faced the problem of sagging breasts.

Today, there are three types of incisions to place a breast implant in the breast:

• Periareolar: incision at the border of the areola and skin.
• Axillary: incision in the axillary region. Mammoplasty is performed under the muscle, which ensures no damage to the breast tissue. Maxim Ivanchuk prefers this type of accommodation, as it is considered the most correct and aesthetically correct. As a result of the operation, the breasts look very natural and beautiful.
• Submammary: incision along the folds under the breast. This method is also considered safe because it eliminates tissue injury.

Contraindications to mammoplasty

Breast augmentation surgery is not recommended:

1. Patients under 18 years of age.
2. In the presence of benign and malignant tumors in the mammary glands.
3. During pregnancy and lactation.
4. In the presence of diabetes mellitus, various types of immunodeficiency, severe chronic diseases, as well as systemic connective tissue diseases.

Rehabilitation period

Breast augmentation surgery is a rather complicated procedure that requires special attention and compliance with all the doctor’s recommendations. On average, the patient’s rehabilitation period lasts about one and a half months. During the recovery, the patient of the clinic is obliged to follow a number of important rules, which can not be ignored. Yes, the woman is forbidden to drink alcohol and smoke for three weeks before and three weeks after the operation; any physical activity, visiting the sauna, solarium and long stay in the sun are also contraindicated. The patient should wear special compression underwear for 6 weeks and refrain from lifting heavy objects (maximum – 2 kg). The first 4 weeks you can sleep only on your back, and only after 3 months you can sleep on your stomach again. If you follow all the doctor’s recommendations, you can not worry about the outcome of the operation and boldly go forward to create the perfect appearance.
