Breast

The goal of this procedure is to augment the breast size, modify the shape (without impeding the lactational capability), restore the breast volume following child labour, rapid weight loss or breast lump removal. Breast augmentation is also performed to correct congenital defects.
The procedure is performed by emplacing a special implant under the breast tissue or under the muscle. The patient should discuss her wishes with the doctor and heed his/her opinion during the consultation.

Breast Augmentation

The goal of this procedure is to augment the breast size, modify the shape (without impeding the lactational capability), restore the breast volume following child labour, rapid weight loss or breast lump removal. Breast augmentation is also performed to correct congenital defects.
The procedure is performed by emplacing a special implant under the breast tissue or under the muscle. The patient should discuss her wishes with the doctor and heed his/her opinion during the consultation.
Procedure
Breast augmentation procedure lasts about two hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia. The methods of performing the surgery depend on the patient’s body type and the doctor’s advise.
Peculiarities of the surgery
The operation does not affect the breast cancer risk. As a rule, a slight scar remains in place of the cut.
Post-operative period
The patient is discharged from hospital in 2-3 days after the surgery. Hand movements should be restricted during the first three weeks, especially during the first 5 days. There may be an increase in body temperature for several days. Weekly medical examinations should be held during the first month. The patient should wear special tight underwear for one month. The final result is visible in 2-3 months.

Breast Reduction (Reduction Mamoplasty)

Very often this surgical procedure is performed for medical rather than for aesthetic purposes as oversized bust may cause spinal deformities, chronic mastopathy and other health problems.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the operation is about 3 hours. Breast reduction is performed through partial removal of glandular tissue. The breast obtains a normal shape in about month and a half. The patient should wear special elastic underwear for 2-3 weeks.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

This procedure is performed only by removing the excess skin. The cuts are made around the areola and extend downwards to the inframammary fold. Areoloa reduction is done if necessary.
The surgery lasts 2-3 hours. The patient should wear compression underwear for one month.
