PRE-MAMMOPLASTY CONSULTATION

To find out beforehand how much does breast plasty cost and what results you can get as a result you have to make an appointment with a plastic surgeon at our clinic who specializes in these operations.

During the initial consultation, the patient states all her complaints - why she is not satisfied with the look and size, the shape of her breasts, and what results she would like to achieve as a result. The doctor performs an initial examination of the breasts, assesses the condition of the skin and surrounding tissues, and palpates to determine the condition of the glandular tissue. He then proposes options for surgery - the use of implants or lipofilling, the type of prosthesis, its size and the material of which it is made. The doctor takes measurements of key parameters, conducts a computer simulation of the future breast and discusses it with the patient. Additionally, the general state of health is assessed, the day of surgery is planned, and preliminary examinations and preparatory procedures are scheduled. Also during the initial consultation is discussed how much does breast plastic surgery cost, what additional costs may be involved, what kind of anesthesia is used, and how is rehabilitation.

PRE-OPERATIVE EXAMINATION

Before surgical intervention, a preliminary examination is carried out to rule out contraindications and possible health problems. The doctor prescribes a consultation with a general practitioner, an anesthesiologist and a mammologist with an ultrasound of the mammary glands or a mammogram (if the woman is over 40 years old). In addition, you undergo a general blood and urine tests, blood chemistry, glucose levels, exclude HIV, hepatitis, syphilis. EKG and fluorography are indicated.

Two weeks before surgery, your doctor will recommend you to refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol, certain medications, and certain foods. The operation is performed under general anesthesia, strictly on an empty stomach, in the evening of the previous day you should have dinner for the last time no later than 20 hours, even water is prohibited to drink in the morning.

PROCESS OF OPERATION

The price of mammoplasty depends on the type of surgery. Most often, women undergo augmentation surgery (with rounded or teardrop-shaped implants). It increases the volume of the breast and corrects its shape. Before the surgery, the doctor together with the woman selects the type of prosthesis individually according to a number of criteria.

When placing implants, incisions are made in several ways - in the armpit area (allows you to hide scars under your underwear), under the breast itself (the incision hides the breast fold) or in the areola of the nipple. The surgeon determines the access based on the expected results of the plasty.

Breast reduction mammoplasty differs in cost from the previous mammoplasty. In this type of intervention, the doctor reduces the size of the breast, changes its shape, but preserves the breast tissue. It is possible to perform an anchor operation (if the breast size is very large) or with vertical access (if the breast size is medium). There are hardly visible scars after the surgery, the intervention improves the appearance.

REABILITATION

After surgery, the patient is brought to consciousness and transferred to a postoperative room under the supervision of doctors and nurses. You can drink water and eat as your condition improves. Your breasts will be covered with bandages, which should not be touched or removed by yourself. The next day the doctor conducts a control examination, performs dressings, removes drains, assesses the condition of the sutures and gives detailed recommendations on the observance of the regime, tells about restrictions, taking medications. The surgeon gives recommendations on the proper care of the scars for faster healing. After that, you can go home after discussing the date of the follow-up examination in advance.

For 1-2 months, except for hygiene procedures, you must wear a compression garment, comply with all medical recommendations and attend follow-up examinations.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Before the intervention, it is important to rule out any contraindications to surgery.
