Augmentation mammoplasty
It is an outpatient surgical procedure that consists of increasing the volume of the breasts, through the placement of implants or silicone prostheses.
Before the surgery
It is decided to perform an augmentation mammoplasty due to:
-
Correct the loss of breast volume
-
You are not satisfied with the size
-
Give the breasts a more harmonious shape, according to their physical build.
Face-to-face assessment must be carried out directly with the specialist
Types of prostheses:
There is a wide variety of breast implants both in materials, textures and designs. At CLÍNICA SENSUS our professionals use cohesive silicone gel prostheses, which is a chemically inert and completely biocompatible polymer, which significantly reduces rejection or any type of negative reaction.
How to choose the type of implants?
In order to know what type of implants to use, the wishes of the patient must be considered, as well as several anthropometric factors that are evaluated in the consultation.
There are anatomical or round:
during surgery
This surgery can last between 1 to 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
The breast implant can be located in a retro-mammary or retromuscular plane. At CLÍNICA SENSUS we prefer the retro-muscular technique, since it allows for more natural, long-lasting results and with fewer complications.
Its approach is made through the areola with a small incision, obtaining an almost imperceptible scar.
After surgery
It generates a disability of 4 to 8 days, you must follow all the post-surgical recommendations to obtain optimal results.
The duration of the implants is indefinite, a mammary ultrasonography should be performed annually, and, if they do not have any alteration, they should not be removed unless the patient wants to change the size.
NOTE:If your breasts show significant sagging, an examination will be required.Mastopexy, that is, a breast lift
