Dr, what surgical techniques do you carry out with your patients?
The subject is so broad, and taking into account that each patient is unique, with a particular situation, which makes it different from all of them, the reason for consultation can be varied, as well as the surgical techniques.
– Breast Augmentation with Prosthesis: In this case, different factors must be taken into account, such as the site of the incision (it is where the prosthesis is placed, and the resulting scar), the plane where the prosthesis is placed (behind the gland, behind of the muscle), prosthesis with smooth or textured, round or anatomical surface. It is one of the most frequent surgeries in our country.
– Breast Augmentation with Lipotransfer (not prosthesis): Also called lipofiling; It consists of obtaining fat from the body itself through liposuction, and after preparing it, it is placed through infiltration with cannulas, thus achieving an increase in volume, the result of which has many advantages such as being its own tissue, there is no rejection, the consistency later of recovery is similar to the breast (since the breast naturally, in addition to glandular tissue, is made up of fatty tissue), very small scars (for the injection site), different volumes can be achieved, and it can be repeated.
– Breast Reduction: when the breasts are very large, they usually also have a certain degree of ptosis (drooping breast), which requires a reduction, with variable scars, in order to improve the symptoms of weight, folds, posture, and also the aesthetic appearance with a breast with a more youthful shape, and a size that is in harmony with the body.
– Breast Pexy (lifting): On many occasions the breast is sagging (but not large), it requires a surgery called “mammary pexy”, which consists of “lifting” the sagging breast, with variable scars, with an aesthetic purpose. Quick recovery surgery, and practically painless in the postoperative period.
– Breast Reconstruction: Here the topic is very broad, but basically the most important situation is the sequel after a mastectomy (when the breast was removed) due to breast cancer. Reconstructive techniques are varied, and exist with expanders, prostheses, muscle flaps, total and partial reconstruction, among others). It will depend on each particular case.
What is the goal of breast plastic surgery?
