Mammary gland increase

At the present, the surgery for breast augmentation, technically known as Augmentation Mamoplasty, is one of the most practiced cosmetic surgeries in the world.

The Mamoplasty has several applications, among the ones that are found: As reconstructive technique to correct cancer treatment consequences; is carried out also for balance the size of the breasts; and, finally, to improve the silhouette of the body in those women that for some reason they feel that its breasts are very small.

Now that we have explained the purpose of the surgery, we pass to an extremely important point, the implants.

An implant is a capsule of silicon material, that can contain whether a solution of? silicon gel; or well, saline solution to the concentrations that are found in the body.

Another particularity in the implants is that they can be whether of a smooth capsule, or a rough one.? This difference arises due to the belief that a rough capsule diminishes the apparition of a complication called capsular contraction that will be described later, although this continues in doubt.

About the size of the implant, we find as for volume refers, they oscillate between the 200 and 600cc.? The increase in the capacity of each implant is from 25 to 30cc (around an ounce).? To determine what size of implant would be suitable for You and the type of incision, it should be taken into account Your expectations and the external factors that also affect, like their body shape, type of skin, desires to breast feed.

The technique consists of doing the incisions of approximately 5cms (2 in.) in the chosen area.? In the majority of the occasions, an approach around the nipple will be utilized or peri areolar; although can also be utilized an incision in the lower edge of the breasts, or well through a small incision in the axila.

After the incision, the Dr. Cárdenas will separate the totality of the mammary tissue and the skin of the thoracic wall to create a kind of compartment where will lodge the prosthesis.? Here two possibilities arise; it could be placed under the gland and over the muscle; and another possibility is that it will go under the gland, under the muscle too and above the ribs.

In the majority of the occasions, the Dr. Cárdenas will place the implant under the muscle, due to a smaller tendency to form the complication called capsular contraction and a smaller interference al to visualize the mammary tissue during a mammogram.? It presents only an objection and is a greater incident of postoperative pain that is able to be controlled with medicines.

In the case that the implant would be placed above the muscle, we will obtain the advantages to be less postoperative pain, and less inflammation.
