What is breast enlargement?

Breast augmentation or breast augmentation or breast augmentation is currently one of the cosmetic surgeries most in demand by women.

Breast surgery, as is generally known, is particularly recommended for women who are dissatisfied with the small size of their breasts, women with breasts of unequal size and those who following pregnancy, breastfeeding or a significant loss of weight, have lost volume in their breasts and wish to regain the size and shape of their breasts.

On many occasions, the increase in breasts accompanies a lift of breasts or mastopexy.

Choosing the best implant for the breast is a very important part of breast enhancement a12> breast augmentation to achieve a safe and natural breast augmentation.

After listening to the patient, our plastic surgeons always recommend which breast implant is the one that best suits her. It is essential to take into account the volume; but proportionality and harmony are just as or more important than the size of the implants.
The breast augmentation should fit perfectly to the torso of the patient depending on her height, build and, of course, her expectations.

Factors to take into account when undergoing breast enhancement:

There are 4 factors to take into account when it comes to undergo a breast augmentation :

The type of incision through which a5> through which the plastic surgeon will insert the breast implants.
Which type of implant is the most suitable in each case: anatomical or round.
The size of breast implants or prostheses.
If the implants are placed above or below the pectoral muscles.

Types of breast implants:

We can distinguish between different types of breast implants depending on:

The contents of the implant:

Silicone implants : these are the most commonly used (90%). It has been proven that it is the safest material. Its texture is soft and similar to that of a normal breast.
Saline implants, made of saline solution. They have the advantage that in the event of a rupture, the material is resorbed. Their main drawbacks are that they can deflate, are harder and a24> and susceptible to changes in temperature, they can produce noises (splashing).

Depending on the shape of the breast implant:

Dentures round. With a round base, the point of maximum projection is exactly at the midpoint of the implant. The volume that they provide is equal at the upper and lower poles.
Prosthetics anatomical. With a round or oval base, but with a projection in the shape of a water drop, to better simulate the natural breast of a woman. The greatest amount of gel is in the part that remains at the lower pole of the breast.
Prosthetics ergonomic. With a round base but filled with a adaptive gel that shifts its point of a10> maximum projection depending on the position in which it is located, changing the appearance of the implant depending on the movement of the patient. These prostheses will be more similar to anatomical ones when the patient is standing, and more similar to the round ones when one is lying down.

Size and type of the breast implants of the breast

If your goal is a medium-sized bust, in most cases, a round smooth implant with a moderate profile is usually chosen, smooth and with a moderate profile, with a size between 250 cc and 350 cc.

The best approach for incision in this case is the axillary approach a8> and is also the one that most patients ask for. This is absolutely anatomical, does not hurt and is a simple dissection that is very easy and quick.

If, on the other hand, you want a larger bust, the anatomical breast implant is the most commonly used option, as its more subtle upper pole creates a much more natural-looking result.

In this case, the incision site is inframammary, since the volume a9> volume of the implant will manage to conceal the scar.

With anatomical prostheses, there is a drawback, and that is that there is a percentage, of around one 5% who tend to change over the course of the years.

How is a breast implant procedure carried out

The cosmetic surgeon and the patient will discuss the various options for inserting an implant in each breast to achieve the shape and size desired and will opt for the one that best suits each woman:

Types of incision for inserting implants for breast:

Transaxillary:

A 3 to 4 cm incision is made in the hairy area of the armpit, its main advantage is that it does not leave a visible scar on the breasts.

The impact on milk production of milk and on the sensitivity of the area is usually be minimal because the glandular tissue, the nerve endings in the breast, the areola or the nipple, which reduces the risk of a possible loss of sensitivity in the area.

Allows placement of breast implants via above or behind the muscle, although they are usually placed under the muscle.

Its main drawback is that the incision cannot be used in surgery for revision ( something that affects approximately around 20% of the women who have had the operation).

Furthermore, when working further away from the breast, there is a greater risk of asymmetry between the a14> the breasts once the augmentation has been performed, which is why the surgeon’s experience with this technique is important.

Inframammary

This is the most common breast augmentation technique. The implant is inserted through an incision of around 4 cm made in the crease where the breast meets the chest wall, leaving no visible scars.

There is little impact on milk production of milk with this technique of increase because neither the glandular tissue nor the innervation are appear to be affected if it is placed under the pectoral muscle.

Periareolar

The implant is inserted via an incision of about 4 cm. around the areola to hide any scars. It is likely that the ducts and glands will be cut because the incision penetrates deeply through the breast tissue.

The placement of the implant in this location causes considerable damage to the ducts, glandular and nerve ducts, which entails a significant risk to milk production.

Transumbilical

The implant is inserted through an a5> an incision in the navel to guide it through an endoscope to its position in the breast where it is filled with saline solution.

In this technique, no incisions are made in the breast or in the breast tissue, although the breast tissue is ruptured and, sometimes, is damaged as the implant is placed in its proper position.

Just like the technique of transaxillary incision, the technique of transumbilical incision preserves glandular function and nervous response a14> in such a way that the impact on the production of milk is usually minimal.

In all cases, the placement of the implant over the muscle will result in greater deterioration than the placement of the implant a12> greater deterioration than the placement underneath the muscle where is protected by the tissues of the body.

Finally, the plastic surgeon selects the plane where to place the implants in the breast. There are three planes for placement of the implants: Subglandular, subfascial or intramuscular, submuscular and dual.

Plans for the placement of the implants:

Subglandular

It is the of choice for breasts with a thickness sufficient enough to conceal the implant, usually greater than 3 cm.

The benefits of this section are the easy dissection during surgery, reducing to some extent the duration of the procedure, and less post-operative pain.

On the other hand, has a higher incidence of capsular contracture compared to the submuscular plane. When lifting the gland to position the prosthesis, it tends to sag to a greater or lesser degree, which may leave the upper pole without adequate coverage a22> coverage and may result in “rippling” (roughness)

Submuscular

Breast implants are placed under the pectoral muscle. They are usually recommended for patients with little glandular tissue, and who thanks to the muscle coverage achieve a better transition a19> transition from the upper pole without the prosthesis being noticeable under the foot. not to interfere in any way with mammograms

Drawbacks: the implant may rotate due to the successive contractions of the muscle. This is not a problem at all if one uses round implants, since they have the point of a21> maximum projection at the centre of the prosthesis it doesn’t matter whether it rotates.

Increase in post-operative pain which usually requires additional medication including muscle relaxants a6> additional medication with muscle relaxants as a supplement to standard analgesia.

Subfascial

The implants are placed under the fascia of the pectoral muscle, being completely separated from the breast. As the fascia is thicker at its upper pole, this ensures an adequate transition is achieved, avoiding the discomfort of lifting the pectoral muscle.

On the other hand, the use of this plan has a a7> high incidence of complications related to bleeding, since it is a procedure that is very bloody.

Dual

The dual plane (a direct translation of the English term “Dual Plane”) or mixed, can be regarded as a subtype of the submuscular plane, with the difference that the implant is covered by the muscle only in the upper part, whilst the lower part is covered by the gland
