Specialists in the field of aesthetic medicine argue that most complications after plastic surgery can be avoided if a thorough preliminary examination and collection of anamnesis of the patient on the eve of surgery, following the rules and techniques for performing the operation, and most importantly, be sure to monitor the patient's condition after plastic surgery by carrying out the necessary examinations.
Sergei Valerievich Kadochnikov spoke about the features of plastic surgery for breast correction, about the hopes of patients and about the possibilities of modern plastic surgery in the field of mammoplasty estet-portal.com.
What problems with the shape of the breast most often lead patients to a plastic surgeon
In terms of the frequency of treatment, it ranks first among the complaints of patients – loss of shape and volume of the breast after breastfeeding, on the second – constitutionally conditioned small breast size or the desire to make the existing breast even larger in the presence of a volume of mammary glands proportional to the body, in third place – breast prolapse, excessively large breasts, asymmetry of the mammary glands.
Can breast reshaping be done for medical reasons
Change in the shape of the breast for medical reasons is performed in the presence of hypertrophy of the mammary glands, gigantomastia, when a large mass of glands leads to the occurrence of painful phenomena, problems with the spine. In addition, with gigantomastia, lymphostasis occurs in the chest, which can provoke the development of oncological processes. In developed countries (for example, in Australia), insurance companies in some cases cover the patient's expenses for breast augmentation surgery. This happens when the small size of the breast or its asymmetry leads to the emergence of psychological or psychosomatic disorders in the patient.

What are the modern techniques for changing the shape and size of the breast
Today, there are two methods of breast augmentation that are recognized as safe. The first way – setting of silicone implants, the second - breast augmentation due to transplantation of own fat into the glandular space – breast lipofilling. Most breast augmentations are performed with implants, but recently the lipofilling method is also gaining popularity. The method of transplantation of one's own fatty tissue has been known for a long time, and recently, thanks to the work of American (R. Khouri) and Japanese (K. Yoshimura) scientists, a scientific basis has also appeared under it. In Ukraine, both methods of breast augmentation are used, in the first place – placement of breast implants, on the second - breast lipofilling.

The market is quite saturated with the offers of various companies producing implants. However, with external similarity and the presence of all the attributes of modern implants – textured surface, cohesive gel inside, the differences will appear later, over the years the implant has been in the tissues. Therefore, I would recommend using implants from leading manufacturers, the quality of which has been verified by medical statistics. And I advise you to follow the recommendations of the surgeon who will install the implants.

What is the level of safety of implants for women's health today?Breast implants have long been suspected of stimulating the development of oncological processes in the mammary glands or in the appearance of systemic diseases. Because of this, a ten-year moratorium on the use of silicone-filled implants was introduced in the United States. Studies conducted over the years have not revealed any evidence of a relationship between tumor development and the presence of an implant. At present, the moratorium has been lifted by the Federal Commission for Medicinal Products.
Is it possible to correct the breast in women who plan to subsequently become pregnant and breastfeeding? Are there any features of such an operation for expectant mothers?The placement of implants or breast lipofilling does not interfere with further pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. This is confirmed by the experience of many patients who have given birth and breastfed children after such operations. I recommend to the patient with breast implants to be a little more careful during the last months before delivery and after delivery to avoid stagnant milk in the breast. I advise patients not to give up breastfeeding for the sake of breast shape, because. breastfeeding is very important for both the development of the child and the health of the woman.
What complications are possible after breast augmentation? How can they be prevented?
After the operation of placing implants, capsular contracture is possible in 4-6% of cases – thickening of tissues around the implant. The chest becomes firmer, asymmetry occurs. In addition, so-called seromas, accumulations of fluid around the implant, may occur in 2-4%. It is extremely rare for a complete rejection of an implant – when it has to be removed. As a rule, the development of these conditions is associated with the presence of concomitant chronic infectious diseases or violations of the technique and rules for performing the operation. An important point in preventing the development of these problems is a comprehensive examination of the patient before surgery.
What must the patient be warned about before breast surgery?Before the operation, the patient gets acquainted with the procedures and manipulations ahead of her, carefully reads and signs the so-called "informed consent of the patient for the operation", which describes the details of the operation, the postoperative period, and possible complications. At the preoperative consultation, of course, the patient is explained the features of her specific constitution and state of health, the shape of her breasts, and the implants to be installed. During postoperative examinations, which are carried out 1, 3, 6, 12 months after the operation, the surgeon explains to the patient when it is possible to remove restrictions on physical activity, how to wear compression underwear, what to do with scars after surgery so that they are less noticeable.
And the most important recommendation that is relevant for all women – do not forget to undergo an examination of the mammary glands - ultrasound or mammography - and a mandatory examination by a doctor 1-2 times a year.
Which body contouring procedures can be combined with mammoplasty?Since the shape of the breast changes after childbirth and breastfeeding, very often breast enhancement surgery is carried out in parallel with operations to restore the shape of the abdomen, plastic surgery of the vagina, and removal of varicose veins. This set of measures can be called "restoration of forms and beauty" after pregnancy. In addition, breast augmentation surgery can be combined with other plastic surgeries, such as plastic surgery of the face, nose, auricles, liposuction of problem areas on the body.

Are there procedures that speed up the rehabilitation period after mammoplasty? What and how do they affect?
In a modern clinic, after this kind of surgery, special physiotherapy procedures are prescribed that reduce swelling, relieve fatigue from the muscles of the back and upper shoulder girdle, while the period of adaptation after the installation of implants passes.
