Beautiful and big breasts are the dream of every representative of the fair sex, only nature does not reward everyone with it. Endoscopic breast augmentation involves a surgical procedure for implant implantation.
The main advantages of the method
Among other techniques that allow you to increase breast volume and correct its defects, endoscopy has several advantages:
- Preservation of the possibility of breastfeeding. The implant is placed directly under the muscle. This location does not in any way interfere with the natural function of the mammary glands.
- Breasts maintain the most aesthetic appearance. The ability to place stitches in the armpit makes it almost invisible. After a few months, the scars dissolve and disappear. The implanted implant is not visible through the skin, so the breast retains its natural appearance.
- Short operating time. Thanks to the use of endoscopes, doctors have the opportunity to examine the entire area of operation and control the process. The manipulations performed became more precise, and the procedure itself lasted no more than an hour.
- The recovery period passed quickly. Tissue during surgery is not too traumatic, the healing process goes quickly and well. After 2 weeks, the patient can already return to a normal lifestyle, but with some reservations.
Who is the breast augmentation procedure indicated for?
In what cases is it planned to perform endoscopic breast augmentation or breast correction? For example, in the following:
- insufficient development of the mammary glands;
- small breast size;
- sagging breasts, which may be due to breastfeeding or sudden weight loss;
- chest asymmetry;
- chest deformity due to trauma or surgery.
Preparation period
Like any surgery, mammoplasty requires specific preparation of the patient, testing for the absence of any contraindications. You need to do the following checks before breast augmentation:
- undergo a breast ultrasound;
- take general blood tests;
- set blood clotting time;
- do blood tests for AIDS, hepatitis, biochemistry, genital infections.
An initial consultation with an anesthetist will be required, which will help identify earlier possible complications from anesthesia during surgery. Any surgery is an intervention in the body and a violation of natural processes, therefore, the initial preparation must be taken very seriously.
How the operation is performed
There are several ways endoscopic breast augmentation can be done:
- The sting is right under the mammary gland. Its length, as a rule, does not exceed 3. 5 centimeters. The disadvantage of this option is that even with the most successful suture healing, when only a thin scar remains at the site of the wound, the scar can periodically remind both the woman and her partner of breast augmentation surgery.
- Cuts near the nipple. This choice is fraught with consequences. First, scar formation is inevitable. Second, it is impossible to breastfeed future children. During surgery, several ducts and the glandular tissue itself are affected. In the future, if a woman wants to have a child and get pregnant, it is impossible to give her breast milk. Another most frightening complication of patients who choose this specific breast augmentation method is the possibility of complete loss of nipple sensitivity. In this case, the breast is already damaged.
- Operation through axillary access. It is considered to be the most successful and safest option for breast augmentation. Breast tissue remains intact, so in the future it is possible to feed the child without any problems. The scars that form under the armpits can eventually dissolve within six months, so it won’t ruin the result at all. In general, the procedure for inserting an implant through axillary access under the pectoral muscle is simpler, but requires specific endoscopic equipment to perform. It will be necessary not only to cut the muscle tissue, but also to not damage the large vessels that are late here. In general, less time is spent on the entire procedure. Breast augmentation through the armpits makes it possible to significantly shorten the recovery period. If the clinic has a modern laser installation, the chances for favorable surgical results increase several times.
A month before surgery, you should adjust the diet and review the diet. This is especially true for women who regularly go on a diet. Lack of trace elements and vitamins leads to poor healing of damaged tissues. For several weeks, they stopped taking all medications that could affect blood clotting. As a rule, their list is issued for consultation by a surgeon or anesthesiologist. In three days, you should try to quit smoking: due to this bad habit, rough and ugly scars can form.
You should not drink alcoholic beverages either before or after surgery. Alcohol is the most stringent contraindication to all medications for anesthesia and medications.
The operation is performed in a conventional operating room, where sterility maintenance is guaranteed.
Contraindications
As with any medical procedure, endoscopic mammoplasty has several contraindications, with the presence of which should refuse to perform breast augmentation surgery to avoid further negative consequences. This includes:
- any neoplasm in the mammary gland area (both malignant and benign);
- current infectious diseases;
- chronic or acute diseases of internal organs;
- diabetes;
- blood diseases;
- poor blood clotting;
- young age;
- if not one year elapses after completion of breastfeeding;
- mental abnormalities or unstable psychological state of the patient.
Recovery
The first day after surgery, as a rule, the patient spends time in the hospital ward, where he is provided with the supervision of medical staff and the provision of qualified medical care if necessary.
For the first week after breast augmentation, the patient experiences pain at the incision site. Painkillers are recommended to reduce these negative effects. In any case, physical exertion is not allowed. You need to avoid sharp waves of your arms, try not to raise them above shoulder level. Within three months, you should forget about going to the bath or sauna, not to visit the solarium. Performing any procedure on the breast area during this period is strictly prohibited.
The price of endoscopic breast augmentation surgery may vary not only depending on what material the implant is made of, but also on the experience and reputation of the surgeon. The price difference can be up to double. Before choosing a cheaper option, you should think about whether you are willing to endanger your health and hand it over to a stranger.
The success of endoscopic breast augmentation through the armpit depends not only on future appearance, but also on the state of health. Before deciding on such an important and responsible step, it is desirable to weigh all the advantages and disadvantages, make sure there are no contraindications or reasons for concern. In the presence of slight deviations, it is better to abandon the operation or postpone it. Re -mamoplasty is very risky, and not all specialists will be responsible for doing so.
