How Safe is Breast Augmentation Surgery? How to choose a doctor and clinic? What is the best time of the year for mammoplasty? Leading Plastic Surgeon, Boston Institute of Aesthetic Medicine, Ph.D. Sofya Chausheva told everything about mammoplasty and debunked the most common myths about this operation.
No matter how sad it may sound, but alas, it is impossible to correct or change the shape and size of the breast with the help of ointments, pills and fitness. The fact is that such methods are simply not able to affect the connective, glandular and adipose tissue that make up the female breast. Perhaps the breasts will become taut and firm, but no more. The only effective and safe procedure is mammoplasty, but only if you choose a good clinic and a qualified surgeon.
Let’s figure out what mammoplasty is. This is a breast surgery to change its shape or size. It is shown to women who are unhappy with their bust for one reason or another: breast deformation after childbirth and breastfeeding, small breast size, asymmetry, and much more.
So, you recognized yourself among them and, having weighed all the pros and cons, decided on mammoplasty. And here many questions arise. Chief among them: what to do with the horror stories and myths that fill the Internet? A leading plastic surgeon helped us to deal with most of them. c. m. … For more than 12 years of work, she has performed about a thousand plastic and reconstructive surgeries, is actively involved in research in her field, introducing the latest technologies that help her patients.
Myth 1: all doctors and clinics are the same
It is true. In any service sector, including medicine, you can face dishonesty and lack of a high level of service. To avoid this, when choosing a clinic, you need to focus primarily on its credibility, as well as on the medical staff and materials that are used during operations. For example, at the Boston Institute of Aesthetic Medicine, only the best certified materials and unique equipment are allowed for use.
“It is quite logical that women who have decided to undergo mammoplasty are plagued by many doubts and fears. I want to reassure them: modern silicone implants are absolutely safe and meet all world quality standards. But you need to choose implants from companies that have been on the market for more than 10 years, the quality and safety of which has been tested by time. Many clinics save on quality, and this translates into undesirable consequences and complications for patients. I cannot be responsible for everyone, but in our center the materials are exclusively certified and, of course, the best. For this is one of the fundamental points, “- comments the leading plastic surgeon of the institute, Ph.D. .

A personalized approach, as well as the extensive experience, qualifications and professionalism of a doctor are the key to your health. Before deciding on mammoplasty, talk to the surgeon and ask him all your questions. There should definitely not be any problems with a real pro in his field.
Myth 2: the result is impossible to predict
It is true. It is possible to see the final result, but only if the clinic you have chosen has the appropriate equipment. Boston Institute of Aesthetic Medicine presents the latest in preoperative modeling technique on the market – , taking into account the anatomical features of the patient in the area of the planned operation. Thanks to this method, you can surely avoid surprises and be satisfied with your new forms.
Myth 3: mammoplasty is an unsafe operation, which only the bravest can decide on.
It is true. On the Internet, you can find many stories about how implants ruined the lives of their owners. All this is true only partially and applies exclusively to breast prostheses, which were used in the distant 90s. Then hollow sacs were placed in the chest, which were then filled with saline to the desired size. Now medicine has stepped far forward: all used in implants are completely safe for a woman’s health.
“Over the course of several years, a lot of experimental work has been carried out, which showed that there is no connection between the installation of implants and breast diseases. So women may not reflect at all on this matter, ”says Ph.D. Sofia Chausheva. Moreover, large manufacturers of implants even give a lifetime warranty for their products, which means that it is not at all necessary to go under the surgeon’s knife to replace the “outdated” prosthesis.
Myth 4: mammoplasty can be done only after the birth of a child, because it is forbidden to feed with breast implants.
It is true. You can breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery, because such a manipulation does not violate the structure of the glandular tissue, thanks to which the feeding process takes place. This fact is confirmed by the expert: “The implant has no effect on feeding, only the type of operation matters. With such an operation as an increase in the size of the mammary gland, the glandular tissue is not injured, and the possibility of feeding is preserved. With the same operations as breast lift or breast reduction, where extensive manipulations with the gland are carried out, the likelihood of feeding is already reduced.

Myth 5: Ugly scars remain after mammoplasty.
It is true. Whether scars and scars will “decorate” your new luxurious breast depends solely on the professionalism and skill of your doctor. That is why it is so important to pay attention to the skills and experience of the surgeon who will perform the operation for you. Leading plastic surgeon c. m. n. Sofya Chausheva uses the latest generation suture materials, the finest threads and microtechnology in her work – all this makes the postoperative scar almost invisible.
It is important to understand that any skin incision leaves scars, but modern suture materials, techniques and the surgeon’s skill make postoperative scars almost invisible.
Myth 6: Painful rehabilitation
It is true. After any surgery, not only plastic surgery, the patient may be accompanied by pain. Naturally, you should not expect that after surgery you will wake up in a hospital bed without the slightest feeling of discomfort. Painful sensations can bother you for an average of one to two days. All this time in a state of the art and unique At the Boston Institute of Aesthetic Medicine, you will receive the nurturing care and attention of nurses. The availability of Wi-Fi, TV, the latest press and gourmet restaurant food will allow you to recover from surgery much faster. After discharge from the clinic, the rehabilitation period will begin. “The main rehabilitation lasts about a week, but within a month the patient’s life will be accompanied by some restrictions. As for other features of rehabilitation, within a month the patient wears compression underwear, performs self-massage of the mammary glands, limits sports activities, visits to the sauna and solarium, ”says Ph.D. .
Myth 7: breast augmentation surgery can only be done in winter.
It is true. In fact, mammoplasty can be done at any time of the year. The only thing worth remembering about some restrictions during rehabilitation: visiting a solarium and sunbathing is prohibited. The very same operation for breast augmentation in the summer does not pose any health hazard. Considering the fact that the largest number of plastic surgeries is performed in Brazil, where the average annual temperature is + 30 degrees, we can conclude that there are no seasonal restrictions.
Council. Breast augmentation surgery is an extremely desirable undertaking, but expensive (especially in the context of the economic crisis in the country). We recommend keeping track of promotions and discounts in the clinics of your choice. For example, in a special offer is valid until July 1, 2016 .
