What to do before breast surgery?
In addition to the necessary preoperative consultations (with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist), a breast x-ray is recommended.
3D simulation to visualize the result before the operation!
Thanks to the scanner Motivaimagine, one of the first installed in France during your consultation you will be able to see before your operation the result that one can obtain according to the chosen prosthesis and the wished size.
It is a real innovation and a precious help both for the surgeon and the patient in his approach taken with more reflection and more reassured.
What is the surgical technique for beautifying the breast?
There is not a technique better or more natural than another but a technique adapted to your wish and to your morphology.
So a young and thin patient with a small breast not wanting a scar on the breast will rather benefit from the implementation of axillary implant behind the muscle.
In the case of an older patient with more breasts, the implants in front of the muscle can be positioned with the areola.
In case of a little drooping breast with a furrow marks the establishment by the breast groove is a good indication in front of or behind the muscle according to the morphology.
Breast prostheses
Are there different forms of prostheses?
There are two types of breast prostheses: rounds and implants called “anatomical”.
Each has its advantages and disadvantages knowing that depending on your morphology your surgeon will indicate the most suitable.
And the size of the implants?
For the same volume prosthesis can be wide and not very curved or narrow and projected.
So the purpose of the operation is not to make a big breast that is noticeable but harmonize your breast and your silhouette.
The day of the operation?
Breast augmentation is performed in an accredited clinic under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting or with a night of hospitalization depending on the technique used, the wish and the patient’s home.
And after the operation?
Depending on the technique used, convalescence ranges from a few days to a week. Resumption of sports activities mobilizing the breast is possible from 4 to 6 weeks.
The wearing of a compression bra is advisable for a month: the patient is well relieved and the implants are well positioned.
Breast lift
Can we associate other operations of breast surgery?
Mastopexy or breast lift can be combined in case of sagging, empty breasts involving additional scars.
In the case of a change of breast implants a gesture of skin lift may also sometimes be necessary.
Breast augmentation and lipofilling in nice?
Breast augmentation by lipofilling is a good indication for an already formed breast that is not sufficiently curved in its upper part: however, radiological monitoring is essential and the percentage of fat graft intake varies according to the patients.
Which breast prostheses are used?
The prostheses used are filled with silicone gel because the gel allows the breast to remain flexible while maintaining its shape.
There are also prostheses filled with saline or polyurethane texture whose indications are to be specified in consultation.
Breast prostheses are implants with CE medical marking and FDA approval for Allergan Laboratories.
What are the disadvantages of breast prostheses?
As the body the prostheses get older and wear out with time: their change is most often due to crack or the appearance of a shell (hardening of the envelope of the implant).
As with any woman who has or no breast prostheses the breast requires regular monitoring with doctors and radiologists.
