Breast lift after implants: a review of techniques

Developments in the field of breast implants have reached such heights that with the use of modern developments there is no need to change the implant every few years;

However, there are also situations in which the woman realizes that the implantation operation was unnecessary. In this case, there is a desire to free your body from a foreign object, returning to the natural size of the breast. After removal of the implant, a woman may experience such complication as a sagging breasts.

Types of breast lifting

Breast lifting is an operation aimed at restoring the previous height of the breast, adjusting the shape of the nipples, as well as giving the breast a shape that meets the needs of the client. Currently on the market there are a large number of different creams that promise a lifting effect.

The main objective of any lifting cream - giving skin elasticity. Unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve a full-fledged effect, which is achieved during the operation, with the help of this tool.

The benefits of exercise are also well known. Of course, they are able to make the pectoral muscle elastic, but it should be noted that they have no effect on the mammary gland. Thus, any physical activity is useful, but they are ineffective in forming the shape of the breast.

Contrasting shower is very useful for keeping breasts in good shape. Also daily dousing with cold water will help prevent various kinds of temporary changes in the shape and structure of the breast.

Endoscopic breast lift, vertical and T-shaped

Endoscopic breast lift is performed for clients with a large bust.

The essence of the operation is to tighten the mammary glands through an incision in the armpit and on the crease of the breast.

After the operation, the client remains a small scar in the armpit, which later becomes invisible, since the incision is minimal. The incision on the crease of the chest disappears completely over time.

Vertical breast lift is performed mainly for patients whose mammary glands require more serious intervention by the surgeon. The essence of the operation is that the excess tissue is removed, followed by the transfer of the breast with the nipple to a new location. During the operation, an incision is made around the nipple through which the surgeon removes excess tissue. This is done in order to create the least chance of scarring. After removing the excess skin, the tissues are sutured with the nipple, during which the surgeon creates the necessary breast shape.

T-shaped breast lift allows you to adjust the shape of the breast, making two incisions: vertical and horizontal, thereby forming the shape of the letter "t". The operation is performed on the mammary glands with a large amount of excess tissue. The main indicators for this operation are the period after breastfeeding, as well as rapid weight loss. Since the operation necessitates the formation of two large cuts, this technique leaves visible traces.

Periareolar breast lift: features of

This method of braces is ideal for owners of small breasts, in need of adjustment. The periareolar breast lift operation itself is performed through the nipple aureole.

The surgeon makes his incision through which he redistributes the mammary gland in such a way as to create the necessary shape. Next, the nipple is transferred to another place and sewn up.

It can be said that this technique is one of the most relevant, since due to its application, it is possible to achieve an optimal result. In addition, after it remains only one small scar, which after a while will cease to be noticeable.

Of course, the best effect can be achieved in a situation where breast changes are minimal, but even in a critical situation, you can rely on modern methods of mammoplasty.

It is also worth noting that the adjustment of the mammary gland is currently an operation that does not carry much risk for the patient.
