When is breast plastic surgery necessary?

Mammoplasty can be performed for a variety of indications: 

Cosmetic plastic surgery

Dissatisfaction with the appearance of a woman’s breasts is the most common reason why patients turn to plastic surgeons. After childbirth, breastfeeding, sudden weight loss or with age, the breast can change shape, sag, lose volume and elasticity. With the help of a variety of modern technologies doctors are able to perform any type of breast correction: 

• reduction with simultaneous tightening;
• increasing breast size using implants or the patient’s own fat;
• eliminating asymmetry;
• tuck;
• correction of areola and nipple shape.

If the patient is satisfied with the shape and size of her breasts and wishes to tighten sagging, loose skin, she may be offered a non-surgical correction. For example, skin lifting of the breasts using a unique technology developed by Coolaser Clinic specialists. The cost of a course of procedures will be much lower than surgical intervention;

Reconstructive mammoplasty 

The procedure is mainly performed after mastectomy – removal of the breast in case of oncological diagnosis. It can also be caused by congenital or traumatic breast defects.

Functional mammoplasty

This surgery is resorted to when the bust size is too large. It will eliminate pain in the neck, shoulders, back and significantly improves the health and quality of life, as well as the shape and appearance of the breasts;

Increasing the size of the breast: in what ways are performed?

Breast augmentation plastic surgery tops the ranking of plastic procedures among women. Beautiful lush breasts have long symbolized motherhood and sexuality. Not always from nature breasts have an attractive shape, in many cases the increase is necessary after breastfeeding. Breast augmentation surgery can be performed in one of two ways: using implants and lipofilling.

Increasing breast size with implants

Breast augmentation involves increasing the volume of the breast with breast implants – special prostheses filled with silicone or saline solution. They can be of different shapes, structures and sizes. The choice depends on the anatomical structure of the mammary glands;

1. In terms of shape, round and anatomical (drop-shaped) implants are most often chosen. For women with small breasts, drop-shaped prostheses are recommended, for those with medium-sized breasts – round;
2. Dentures can be smooth or rough in texture. In the latter case, the likelihood of displacement is reduced.
3. There are several types of access for breast implant placement. The surgeon can make an incision in the subpectoral fold, in the armpit area, or in the nipple area. Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages.

The surgeon will determine the condition of the breast and offer the best option of prosthesis and access for its installation, but the final decision is always left to the woman;

Increasing breast size with lipofilling

This is a seamless procedure that involves transplanting the patient’s own fat. It is performed simultaneously with liposuction and gives the opportunity to get not only the ideal shape of the breast, but also to get rid of excess fat in unnecessary places. Mostly in the waist, back, hips. Breast augmentation surgery by lipofilling will increase the bust by a couple of sizes. Patients in reviews note that after such mammoplasty, the breast looks very natural, and the removal of fat from problem areas made the contours of the body clear and neat.

What are the prices for breast size enhancement?

This is the question most often asked by female patients. Breast augmentation surgery is always an individual procedure, the price of which is determined by the main factors:

• What method will be used to increase the size of the breast – with implants or lipofilling, the price of which is slightly lower;
• it will be the initial installation of implants or replacement of existing ones: in the second case, the price of breast augmentation in Kiev will be higher;
• What additional types of correction will be required: nipple reduction, nipple lift; 
• what diagnostic tests you’ll need to undergo.

Reducing breast size

Breast reduction plastic surgery can be performed for both aesthetic and medical reasons. This procedure is considered technically more complex than increasing the size of the breasts. During this surgical procedure, the surgeon changes the volume and contour of the breasts without compromising the ability to breastfeed. 

There are several different techniques for performing a reduction, each aimed at solving specific problems. For example, the anchor technique is suitable for women with very large breasts, while the vertical technique is more commonly used for medium-sized busts;

Breast lift

Mastopexy is a procedure to correct the shape and position of the mammary glands. It is aimed at restoring elasticity and eliminating ptosis (sagging). To do this, the surgeon removes excess skin tissue and redistributes the remaining. In the arsenal of plastic surgeons a variety of techniques to perform lifting. The task of a plastic surgeon – to choose the best for the patient method of plastic surgery, the result of which will be beautiful and tightened breasts. Among the most effective:

• Breast lift around the areola – used mainly in case of minor sagging of the breasts;
• vertical mastopexy – allows for one-stage placement of implants if necessary;
• Anchor lift – used for significant ptosis;
• SPAIR elevator – an innovative technique in which the incision is hidden in the axilla.

In addition to surgical techniques in clinics in Kiev successfully use and non-surgical technology breast elevator – lifting threads. This is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anesthesia, enough local anesthesia. In this case, non-surgical mammoplasty at a price will be much cheaper than surgery. This is an effective way to tighten the breasts, if the ptosis is minimal and the breast is small in size.

Mammoplasty for areola and nipple correction

In certain cases, it may be necessary to change the nipple and areola. The reasons for their deformation can be different: age, hormonal changes, pregnancy and lactation, congenital defects. In addition to aesthetic problems, there are medical indications for correction. A retracted nipple can be the reason for the inability to lactate, create problems with hygiene. Modern plastic surgery makes it easy to eliminate any imperfections with a simple correction within 1 hour;

Nipple and areola correction surgery can also be part of a reconstructive mammoplasty after breast removal. In this case, the surgeon creates the nipple and areola with skin grafts taken from other areas, for example: from the vaginal area. If the nipple-areola complex is fully reconstructed, only its aesthetic function can be restored;

Correction of gynecomastia in men

Gynecomastia is an enlargement of the mammary glands in men: one or both. The disease is not dangerous, but it can cause aesthetic discomfort. In most cases, gynecomastia develops due to disturbed hormonal balance, hypothyroidism, obesity, liver cirrhosis. Also, taking anabolic steroids, antihypertensive, antidiabetic drugs can lead to breast growth;

A plastic surgeon can only perform breast reduction. It is important to identify the cause of gynecomastia in order to undergo comprehensive treatment.

How can I make scars invisible after surgery?

Mammoplasty can leave scars of varying degrees of severity. Depending on the type of procedure, they can be in different places: under the breast, around the nipple, vertically from the nipple to the breast crease. Surgeons try to make the incisions as less noticeable as possible, but their complete disappearance depends on the individual characteristics of the body.

3. Body plasmolifting. The patient’s own purified blood plasma is used. The procedure activates the processes of skin regeneration and rejuvenation: increases skin elasticity and firmness, improves its texture and color.
4. Body mesotherapy. The introduction of special preparations with vitamins, minerals, amino acids into the area of scars improves blood circulation and metabolism, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
