What are the options for breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a cosmetic surgery that changes the shape and size of the breast through surgery. When choosing breast augmentation surgery, there are many ways to choose, including the choice of breast implants, surgical methods and surgical techniques. The following will elaborate on the methods of breast augmentation surgery from different aspects.
1. Selection of breast implants
There are two kinds of breast implants most commonly used in breast augmentation surgery, namely saline implant and silicone implant. Saline implant is a kind of implant filled with saline, which has lower cost and less surgical trauma, but is slightly hard in texture and less natural in touch. Silicone implant is the most widely used breast implant at present. Its touch is soft and its shape is closer to the natural breast, but its price is relatively high and the surgical trauma is large.
In addition, there is a new type of breast implant in breast augmentation surgery, that is, biological fermentation material implant. The implant is prepared by biological fermentation technology, and has good biocompatibility and biodegradability. It does not need to be taken out after surgery. This kind of implant is relatively new and has not been applied in large scale in China at present.
2. Selection of operation mode
There are two main methods of breast augmentation surgery, namely, intraluminal breast augmentation and extraluminal breast augmentation. Intracavitary breast augmentation is to implant breast implants into the breast tissue below the breast or the pectoral muscle tissue below the pectoralis major muscle, with less surgical trauma and faster recovery. Extraluminal breast augmentation is to implant breast implants into the axillary tissue on the outside of the breast or above the pectoral muscle. The operation is traumatic and the recovery time is relatively long.
For patients who only need to enlarge their breasts, intracavitary breast augmentation is a common choice, with less risk and natural effect. For patients with sagging breasts or abnormal breast shape, extraluminal breast augmentation may be a more appropriate choice because of the need for breast remodeling or lifting.
3. Selection of surgical techniques
The choice of techniques for breast augmentation surgery mainly includes subcutaneous hyperemia and intracavitary implantation. Subcutaneous hyperemia means that the breast implant is directly implanted into the breast tissue, and an appropriate amount of fat tissue or collagen is injected around it for filling, so as to achieve the effect of breast augmentation. Intraluminal implantation means that the breast implant is implanted into the muscle tissue below the breast, and the implant is kept in an appropriate position by muscle compression.
At present, the commonly used technique in breast augmentation surgery is intracavitary implantation, which can better maintain the shape and position of breast implants and reduce the risk of displacement and sagging of implants after surgery. At the same time, intraluminal implantation can also avoid the absorption of fat tissue and the change of breast shape.
4. Precautions for hospital selection
When choosing a hospital for breast augmentation surgery, patients need to pay attention to the following aspects. First of all, it is necessary to select a regular hospital with relevant qualifications and practice certificates to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation. Secondly, doctors with rich experience in breast augmentation surgery should be selected, who are skilled in the operation process and operating skills, and can develop personalized surgical programs according to the specific conditions of patients. Finally, patients should also consider whether the facilities and environment of the hospital meet the health requirements, and consult others for reference.
Summary
There are many methods for breast augmentation surgery, including the choice of breast implants, surgical methods and surgical techniques. Breast implants mainly include saline implant, silica gel implant and bio fermentation material implant. The operation methods are divided into intraluminal augmentation and extraluminal augmentation. The main surgical techniques are subcutaneous congestion and intracavitary implantation. When choosing a hospital, patients should consider the qualifications of the hospital, the experience of doctors, and the conditions of facilities and environment.
No matter which method is selected for breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and effects of surgery in advance, and make wise decisions under the guidance of doctors. By choosing a suitable surgical method and hospital, patients can obtain satisfactory breast augmentation effect and improve their self-confidence and beauty.
