Who is a candidate for this surgery?
Only board certified plastic surgeons are qualified to determine if someone is a suitable candidate for breast augmentation.
Gummy Bear vs. Silicone Breast Implants
Within the silicone implant category, women have the option of choosing “gummy bear” silicone implants or traditional highly cohesive silicone gel implants. Both types of implants have their advantages. Most women in Tijuana tend to prefer the traditional highly cohesive silicone gel implants to the gummy bear implants.
Â
GUMMY BEAR BREAST IMPLANTS
Gummy bear breast implants have a stable shape, which means that, just like a gummy bear, if they are cut in half, they will keep their shape. Gummy bear implants can be round or teardrop shaped. They are usually firmer and harder than traditional silicone implants.
TRADITIONAL HIGHLY COHESIVE SILICONE GEL IMPLANTS
Highly cohesive gel silicone implants also maintain their shape if cut in half, however, they are softer and feel more pliable than gummy bear implants. Women with traditional silicone implants report that they feel like a soft, natural breast at a higher rate than women with gummy bear implants
Breast implant incision approaches.
Periareolar Breast Augmentation Incisions
The perioareolar breast augmentation technique involves an incision made around the areola, which is the patch of skin around the nipple. Through this incision, a plastic surgeon can place either a silicone or saline breast implant.
Transaxillary Breast Augmentation Incisions
The transaxillary breast augmentation technique uses a hidden incision to place breast implants. This procedure involves an incision made in the armpit. Through this armpit incision, surgeons can insert a breast implant, maneuver it into position, and fill the implant once it is in place.
Â
The inframammary approach
This incision is easily concealed by the overlying breast and is rarely visible during normal activities. The inframammary approach allows for the precise creation of the implant pocket and the cleanest entry for the implant. It is associated with the lowest incidence of capsular contracture and the lowest incidence of sensory changes of the nipple-areola complex.
Better known as a breast lift, mastopexy is a surgical procedure to lift and reshape sagging breasts and is performed when the patient does not want to increase the size of her breasts. However, there are times when breast implants are also placed at the time of the lift if the patient wishes to increase her size as well.
BREAST LIFT PROCEDURE
The breast lift can be performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. A custom procedure to lift and firm your breasts will be designed depending on the laxity of your skin. the volume of breast tissue and the desired result. All breast lifts require external incisions, which are minimized as much as possible.
But our breast augmentation patients find the improvement in breast shape well worth it.
Before your procedure, your surgeon will probably ask you to stop taking certain medications. These include drugs like aspirin that thin the blood. If you smoke, you will need to quit smoking about four weeks before your procedure. Smoking can interfere with your body’s ability to heal after surgery. It can cause serious wound healing problems, such as loss of skin from the nipple or breast.
In general, surgery involves these steps:
The surgeon will mark you in the standing position to determine the new elevated position of the nipple on your breast.
You will receive medicine called anesthesia to relax you and relieve pain. You will be asleep during the surgery. This is called general anesthesia.
The surgeon will make an incision (cut) around the areola. The cut will usually extend across the front of your breast, from the bottom of the areola to the crease. It can also extend along the sides of the areola.
The surgeon will lift and reshape your breasts. The surgeon will then move your areolas into the correct position on the new breast shape and may also reduce their size.
The surgeon will remove any excess skin to give your breasts a firmer appearance.
Finally, the surgeon will close the incisions with stitches, sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape.
Surgeons generally try to place incisions in parts of the breast where they will be least visible.
You may decide to have breast implants at the same time as a breast lift. An implant can increase the size or fullness of your breasts. For safety reasons, some surgeons will not perform both procedures at the same time. If this is the case, you will first undergo the lift, followed by the augmentation weeks or months later.
This “staging” is to prevent any loss or necrosis of the nipple.
Recovery Your breasts may be swollen and sore for a few weeks after your surgery. Your doctor will give you medication to relieve the pain. You can also hold ice to your breasts to relieve swelling and soreness.
You will need to wear a surgical bra or a non-wire bra for two to three weeks after your surgery. You’ll also need to sleep on your back propped up by pillows to keep your chest raised.
The soreness, bruising, and swelling should go away after a few weeks. Your breasts may take between 2 and 12 months to reach their final shape.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for two to four weeks after your surgery.
Breast reduction is a procedure to reduce and change the shape of the breasts. It is performed on patients who feel that the natural size of their breasts is too large and want to give their body a more discreet and aesthetic appearance.
Patients who undergo breast reduction often refer to the relief of discomfort caused by the excessive weight of large breasts. Breast reduction generally eliminates symptoms and improves the size and shape of the breasts. The reduction makes the size of the breasts more proportional to the shape of the body and therefore makes wearing clothes better and easier.
