All the pros and cons of hyaluronic acid based breast augmentation methods

In the cosmetics industry, many methods have been developed to alter breast volume.

Breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid injections is considered one of the most effective and safe.

It is important that the desired results are achieved without surgery, general anesthesia and other risks associated with standard radical methods.

Guidance

Procedures for breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers are recommended in the following cases:

• if it is necessary to give a little volume to the breast, increase it by a size no more than just the size;
• if you want to eliminate asymmetry;
• in front of a permanent implant - when it is necessary to correct its shape, to make the breast more natural.

Contraindications

Breast correction with preparations based on hyaluronic acid, like other procedures, is performed only in the absence of contraindications.

Experts do not recommend using breast augmentation surgery and procedures if there are health problems like this:

1. Chronic diseases of internal organs.
2. Cardiovascular disease and oncology.
3. The presence of breast tumors.
4. Blood sugar rises.
5. Mastopathy.
6. Impaired immune system function;
7. Skin problems - rashes, wounds, trauma, inflammation.

In addition, you should refrain from the procedure during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

This technique will not give the desired results in cases such as:

1. Spoken tissue prolapse.
2. Loose skin in the décolleté area.
3. If you want to enlarge the mammary glands by some measure (with correction, the possibility of strong tissue stretching).

If a woman is planning a pregnancy, this procedure is also not suitable.

Principles of operation

Hyaluron is a large molecule that can withstand a lot of moisture. The drug activates its own collagen production, therefore, making the skin smoother, more elastic, moisturizing and smoothing wrinkles.

In addition, injections help tighten and enlarge the breasts, providing elasticity. This tool is considered the most effective and safe, does not cause allergies and is not rejected by the human body.

The principle of operation is as follows:

1. The material penetrates the deep subcutaneous layer and fills the empty space. Due to its dense and viscous texture, the acid remains in the tissue for a relatively long period of time.
2. The substance injected under the skin actively attracts moisture, thus producing volume and moisturizing the skin.

Over time, the substance is naturally removed from the body.

Advantage

This technique has a number of indisputable advantages:

1. Security.The composition of modern fillers includes hyaluron, which has properties similar to hyaluronic acid produced by the body, so there are no negative effects.
2. Simplicity of procedure.The session lasted no more than two hours and did not require surgical intervention.
3. Lack of anesthesia. . . Only local anesthetics are used.
4. It doesn't hurt.Filler injection is fairly easy.
5. Multiple functions of drugs.While using modern fillers, you can change not only the volume, but also the shape of the breast, as well as eliminate asymmetry.
6. No allergic reactions.The filler is almost consistent with the composition of mammary gland tissue, which means that it is not included in the examination and manifestations of allergies.
7. Short recovery period(a few days).
8. The results can be assessed immediately after the procedure., because with this technology, the swelling is not as obvious as other methods, and the filler is immediately distributed in the corrected place.
9. Additional corrections are allowed, after a while, to maintain efficiency.

Lack of

Although there are many advantages, this method has some disadvantages, namely:

1. Difficult diagnosis of mammary glands. It is not recommended to take an X-ray of the mammary gland after the procedure, as the filler will be visible on the x-ray. Doctors can make mistakes in the diagnosis, confused as a result of the procedure for the tumor.
2. Complexity of palpation and examination of the breast for the presence of neoplasms.
3. Fragility. The effect lasts for a maximum of 2 years.
4. Possible migration of fillers.
5. Possible infection. To avoid such problems, you should maintain cleanliness and follow the advice of a beautician.
6. High service costs.

Exercise

Two weeks before the injection, it is necessary to undergo a general examination and pass a test, which will be determined by the specialist responsible for the procedure.

As a rule, this is a general analysis of blood and urine, biochemistry, coagulogram. The doctor must provide a referral for an electrocardiogram and mammary gland ultrasound. It is necessary to consult a therapist and endocrinologist the night before surgery.

It is not recommended to drink alcohol a few days before the injection. Important! Doctors must know about taking medication the night before surgery.

Technique

This operation must be performed by a qualified specialist who has completed a special training course. He must have a diploma and certificate confirming his qualifications.

This work is done in several stages:

1. The skin is treated with antiseptics, local anesthetics are used.
2. After a few minutes, the drug is slowly injected into the marked spot.
3. Fillers can be injected using different methods (under the breast or under the pectoralis major muscle). It depends on the original shape of the breast and the desired result.
4. After the introduction of HA, the tissue was again treated with antiseptic.

The maximum amount of drug injected into one mammary gland should not exceed 300 ml.

Recovery

The average recovery period lasts from one to three weeks, depending on the individual characteristics of the organism.

In order not to provoke the occurrence of serious complications, for several weeks after the procedure, you should refrain from visiting the swimming pool, solarium or sauna, and avoid hypothermia.

It is strictly forbidden to sleep on the chest so that the gel does not shift. You also cannot do a massage during recovery.

The first 3-4 weeks is recommended to reduce physical activity, especially on the upper body. You cannot wear regular bras or synthetic fabrics.

During the recovery period, you must wear clothing in special compression.

If you follow this simple guide, the results will only be gratifying.

Complications

Patients rarely experience complications after the procedure. From the common side effects, one can distinguish:

• bruising and swelling at the site of skin puncture;
• slight pain in the chest area;
• increased body temperature (rare).

Such symptoms were observed for two days after surgery.

Sometimes more serious consequences arise. In most cases, this is due to the patient’s failure to follow the recommendations during the recovery period or after the procedure, as opposed to contraindications.

Such complications are possible:

• gel migration and diffusion;
• inflammatory processes;
• the gel does not hold a certain shape well;
• asymmetry;
• necrosis of breast tissue (occurs when infection is introduced).

Efficiency

The desired results last 12-24 months. Acids dissolve over time in the body.

The duration of the effect depends on individual characteristics, in particular, on the condition of the skin, its firmness and elasticity. Final results are assessed at the end of the recovery period.

To maintain its effect, corrections should be made every 1-2 years. During initial correction, 40% of the initial volume of filler is injected into the mammary gland.

With the latter - about 15%. This method significantly prolongs its effects and reduces the risk of losing breast shape too early.

Price

The technique is a bit expensive. The final price depends on the following factors:

• the number of fillers introduced;
• drug costs;
• prestige clinic;
• cost of cosmetic services.

Alternative methods

Mammoplasty

The point is the introduction of silicone implants into the mammary glands. This technique is effective, but has many drawbacks.

First, surgery is required with general anesthesia, and second, problems with implants may arise.

After an injection with hyaluronic acid, the breast looks more natural than after mammoplasty.

Thread carrier

This technique aims to correct and improve the shape of the breast without surgery.

Despite the simplicity of the procedure, it is not suitable for everyone and has some serious limitations.

As a result of tightening with the thread, the breasts do not increase in volume, but the breasts become more elastic, resilient and firm.

Mesotherapy

This technique consists of inserting a meso-cocktail into the mammary glands, the composition of which is determined by a specialist, depending on the problem.

Mesotherapy helps slightly enlarge the breasts, remove stretch marks, age spots and scars. Many patients notice the pain of the procedure.

Laser correction

This is a relatively new technology for breast correction. The point lies in the use of laser beams that affect the mammary glands.

Unlike other methods, laser technology can only tighten and slightly improve the shape of the breast.

Breast augmentation with your own fat

This procedure involves taking your own fatty material from the problem area, after which special processing of the fat is done and its subsequent introduction into the mammary gland area.

The indisputable advantage of this technology is that the body and foreign substances are not introduced into the body.

In addition to increasing the volume, you can also get rid of unnecessary fat storage. This technique is not suitable for underweight girls.

People's method

The most common breast augmentation methods with folk remedies include:

1. Iodine nets.
2. Apply compresses.
3. Use of special infusions.

The effects of folk remedies are possible only after long-term use.

Opinion

Analyzing the opinions of patients, we can conclude that women who enlarge their breasts with hyaluronic acid are satisfied with the results.
