Mammoplasty (Breast plastic surgery)

Here, we will introduce you to safe and effective techniques that are globally recognized. Hundreds of thousands of women have already benefited from the achievements of modern medicine and are now enjoying beautiful, confident shapes.

• Augmentation Mammoplasty with Implant Placement

This method allows you to make your mammary glands lush and achieve breast augmentation in alignment with your personal preferences.

• Mammoplasty Using Your Own Fat (Lipofilling)

Lipofilling is a technique that increases breast volume using your own fat, avoiding the need for foreign materials. This method lowers the risk of rejection. Fat is taken from problem areas of the body, which can also help contour your figure while enhancing breast size.

• Breast Lift with Implant Placement

This technique addresses ptosis (sagging) by lifting the breast tissue while adding volume and fullness to the upper pole of the breasts.

• Breast Lift Without Implant Placement (Mastopexy)

When there is enough natural breast tissue, a breast lift can be performed without the need for implants. Excess skin is removed, and the size of the areolas is reduced to proportionally fit the new shape, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and youthful appearance.

• Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)

In some cases, instead of increasing breast size, women may need to reduce their breast volume. Large breasts can cause physical discomfort and may be aesthetically unpleasing. Breast reduction removes excess tissue, creating a neater, firmer, and more balanced breast shape.

• Asymmetry Correction

Breast asymmetry can occur due to breastfeeding or congenital anomalies, resulting in uneven breast size, shape, or positioning. A plastic surgeon can correct this with or without breast implants, depending on the patient's wishes, restoring balance and symmetry.

• Breast Reconstruction After Injury or Surgery

In some cases, breast surgery is not just a desire but a necessity. For women who have undergone mastectomy or experienced breast trauma, we help restore what was lost and provide natural, aesthetically pleasing results.

• Implant Replacement

Quality implants placed by an experienced surgeon can last a lifetime without needing replacement. However, there are rare situations when implant replacement may be necessary:

- Tissue sagging due to age, pregnancy, or lactation

- Implant displacement

- Implant rupture (rare, especially with modern materials)

- Dissatisfaction with the results and a desire for a different size or shape

After all scheduled postoperative visits, women with breast implants should have regular check-ups with a specialist every 18 months.

Types of Breast Implants by Material

Many patients are surprised to learn that, in addition to silicone implants, there is also the option of saline implants.

Silicone Implants are the more popular choice, and for good reason. They are lightweight, look incredibly natural, and have a longer lifespan, making them a reliable and durable option. Their benefits are extensive, offering a beautiful and lasting result.

Saline Implants are filled with a saline solution (salt water), which is completely biocompatible with the human body. The outer shell is made of silicone. While saline implants are just as safe as silicone, they are now considered somewhat outdated and are rarely used.

Varieties of Silicone Implants by Shape

• Teardrop (Anatomical) Implants

Teardrop-shaped implants provide the most natural breast contouring for any body shape. This shape is ideal for women who prefer a beautiful, natural look without excessive volume in the upper part of the breast.

• Round Implants

Round implants create a perfectly rounded breast shape. While they give fullness to the upper part of the breast, this shape can sometimes reveal the fact that a surgery has taken place.

Types of Breast Lifts: Which Option Is Right for You?

• Lift Without Implants

If your breasts have lost their youthful firmness and volume but you are happy with their size, a breast lift without implants is the perfect solution. This procedure will lift and tighten your breasts, restoring their natural shape without the need for foreign implants. Plus, the cost of this option is more affordable, providing beautiful results without compromising on quality.

• Breast Lift with Implants

For those looking to achieve fuller, more pronounced results, a breast lift with implants is the ideal choice. This procedure not only lifts sagging tissue but also enhances volume, giving you firmer, fuller, and more youthful breasts that you’ll love. Say goodbye to sagging and hello to beautifully shaped curves.

Regardless of whether you choose to add implants or prefer to keep the natural contours of your breasts, your surgeon will recommend the best lift technique based on the degree of tissue sagging:

• Periareolar Mastopexy

For mild ptosis (sagging), a periareolar mastopexy may be the perfect option. This technique involves a small, discreet incision along the edge of the areola, allowing the surgeon to perform the necessary adjustments with minimal scarring. It’s the least invasive breast surgery option, and the scars are virtually invisible to the naked eye.

• Vertical Mastopexy

If your breasts have a moderate degree of sagging, a vertical mastopexy is the best way to restore their youthful shape. In addition to the incision around the areola, a vertical incision is made down the breast. The scar from this procedure is located at the lower part of the chest, making it hidden beneath underwear or swimsuit, ensuring it remains virtually invisible in everyday life.

• T-Shaped Mastopexy (Anchor Breast Lift)

For more significant sagging or larger breast volumes, the T-shaped mastopexy offers the best results. This procedure involves a “T”-shaped incision around the areola, extending down and outwards to remove excess tissue and lift the breast. Although the scars may be more noticeable at first, they gradually fade, revealing a stunning, youthful silhouette that leaves a lasting WOW effect.

Important consideration: we recommend waiting at least a year after your breast lift before planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, as these processes can reverse the results. Wait at least a year before planning a baby to fully preserve the effect you have achieved.

The Surgical Process

Mammoplasty includes the following stages:

• Anesthesia (General)

• Incisions

• Placement of implants or breast tissue adjustment to lift/reduce the breasts

• Suturing

• Awakening

The entire surgery typically takes between one to four hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. If a breast lift is also required, the surgery may take longer.

Throughout the process, an experienced anesthesiologist will monitor the process and ensure you remain stable and comfortable.

Postoperative Period and Recovery

We recommend that our patients prepare for their recovery in advance, ensuring their comfort during the rehabilitation period. It’s important to wrap up any urgent matters, take some time off from work, and ask family members for assistance with household tasks and care. During this time, quality rest and sleep will be essential for a smooth recovery.

What to Expect During Recovery & Possible Side Effects:

• Swelling;

• Hematomas;

• Moderate pain for the first few days, along with a feeling of heaviness or tightening in the chest;

• Discomfort from wearing compression garments.

These sensations are completely normal and will resolve on their own without any need for medical intervention.

After 2-3 days, you’ll be discharged from the hospital with a detailed list of recommendations and restrictions. Follow-up visits will be scheduled for the 7th day, 11-14 days for suture removal, and one month after surgery to ensure everything is healing well.

Within 2-3 months, you can gradually resume your regular, moderate activities. By this time, the swelling will have significantly reduced, and you’ll start to see the initial results that will leave you thrilled.

After 6-8 months, your recovery will be almost complete, and you’ll be able to fully appreciate the final results of your procedure.

Preparing for Breast Surgery

• Consultation with your surgeon to discuss your desired results and assess the current condition of your breasts. This is a lengthy process, giving you plenty of time to ask any questions and carefully consider the size and shape of your new breasts. To make this decision easier, we provide a range of sizers — special, reusable implants designed to help you visualize how your new breasts will look, ensuring you feel completely confident in your choice.

• Medical Examinations and Tests Before Operation. Our specialist will give a referral for a series of pre-surgical tests. These include general blood and urine tests, blood chemistry, an electrocardiogram, infection screenings, as well as tests for your Rh factor and blood group. These tests help identify any hidden contraindications. The surgeon will also provide you with personalized recommendations for preparation, such as avoiding certain medications, smoking, and alcohol, all of which contribute to a smoother, safer recovery.

Risks and Side Effects

Potential risks include:

• Infection

• Asymmetry

• Scarring

• Implant migration or rupture

While you are now aware of all potential risks, it's important to remember that these are minimal when the breast surgery is performed at a top-tier clinic.

To ensure the best possible outcome, it’s essential to follow all of your doctor’s recommendations: avoid alcohol, refrain from strenuous physical activity during your recovery, and wear your prescribed corset for the necessary period. By doing so, you significantly reduce the chances of any negative consequences and help ensure a smooth, successful recovery.
