Breast augmentation surgery involves using implants to increase the size of your breast volume that has been lost due to weight reduction or pregnancy. Breast augmentation can:
3. Enhance your self image and self confidence
Implant choice- Round, smooth, silicone implants provide more projection.
Fat grafting uses liposuction to take fat from the abdomen and inject it into the breast. This is an option for women looking for a relatively small increase in breast size using their own fat
Transaxillary incisions leave no scar on the breast
Submuscular placement (under the pectoral muscle) offers a number of advantages
These incisions leave no scar on the breast
The underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to improve breast contour and firmness
Breast enlargement is never a substitute for breast lifting, although the 2 are frequently performed together
The emotional discomfort and self-consciousness often associated with having large pendulous breasts is as important an issue to many women as the physical discomfort and pain
After the incision is made, the nipple, which remains attached to its original blood and nerve supply – is then repositioned. If necessary, the areola is reduced by excising skin at the perimeter. Underlying breast tissue is reduced, lifted, and shaped
For extremely large pendulous breasts a free nipple graft technique may be necessary
Breast reconstruction surgery can be achieved through a variety of techniques
A breast implant is placed submuscularly immediately following mastectomy typically an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is used to provide an “internal bra” at the same time
Donor site – abdomen
TRAM flap – abdominal muscle tissue, skin and fat are used to create breast shape
Donor Site – Back
LD flap – back muscle, skin, fat and usually a small implant are used to create breast shape.
Glandular and fatty tissue is removed through a small incision near the edge of the areola
Only in extreme cases is it necessary to remove skin
