Mamma Surgery » What's New » What should I take into account to have chest surgery?

Over the years, our soft tissues and skin lose some of their tone as collagen production declines. This consequent loss of elasticity results in some areas of the body becoming flaccid, some more than others. Because they carry weight and are noticeably modified by motherhood and hormonal changes throughout a woman's life, many women decide enlarge or enhance your breasts through cosmetic breast surgery.

In Mamma Surgery We want you to know all the options available before making the decision to have breast surgery, and that is why we share the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the procedure.

How much can I increase my breasts?

Your general shape, constitution, and available skin area will be important in determining the size of your breasts.. Your expectations are also important in this decision. If you have little breast tissue, very tight skin, or are very young, it will generally take a while to increase your cup size to about a C cup. You should also consider that overstretching muscle and skin can be harmful. Patients who wish to have very large breasts can do so if skin is available for implant coverage; otherwise, this may require more than one surgical procedure.

Are the scars of a breast augmentation noticeable?

Scars from a breast augmentation are little, are generally well hidden in the crease under the breasts and can be covered with a bra or swimsuit. Incisions down to the nipple will be made if multiple combined breast surgical procedures are required, such as a breast lift.

What is the difference between round and teardrop-shaped breast implants?

The implants teardrop shaped are designed to achieve a more natural and mature appearance; however, if they move and twist within the breast pocket, this could cause distortion in their shape. Round implants in a submuscular position can achieve the same result without the possibility of breast distortion.

Saline or silicone breast implants?

A saline implant has a silicone rubber cover filled with sterile salt water. A silicone implant has the same shell but filled with a silicone gel. Many consider that silicone ones are more like a natural breast, they are softer and also give a more rounded shape to the breast. Saline breast implants are somewhat heavier and will pull more of the breast tissue over time, which can lead to an earlier sagging or a mature breast earlier than expected.

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery?

Breastfeeding after breast augmentation is no more challenging than it would be otherwise. There is no danger that the material of the breast implant, saline or silicone, will pass into the breast milk and affect your child.

When can I return to normal activities after surgery?

After a day or two after surgery, you will be able to get out of bed, shower almost immediately, and any discomfort can be controlled with prescription pain medication. You will need to return to the doctor's office in a week to follow up and to remove the stitch (unless a dissolvable suture was used). You can resume sexual intercourse almost immediately, although the breasts must be treated with care.

Patients usually return to work within a week. Most patients wait about a month before fully returning to their vigorous fitness training programs.
