Principle of operation

how hyaluron is used for breast augmentation

Hyaluron is a large molecule that can retain a lot of moisture. The drug activates the production of its own collagen, therefore, it makes the skin smoother, more elastic, hydrated, and smoothes wrinkles.

In addition, the injections help tighten and enlarge the breasts, give them elasticity. The tool is considered the most effective and safe, it does not cause allergies and is not rejected by the human body.

The principle of operation is as follows:

  1. The substance penetrates the deep subcutaneous layers and fills the empty space. Due to the dense and viscous texture, the acid remains in the tissues for quite a long period.
  2. The substance injected under the skin actively attracts moisture, thus creating volume and hydrating the skin.

Over time, the substance is naturally excreted from the body.

Advantage

The technique has a number of indisputable advantages:

  1. Safety.The composition of modern fillers includes hyaluron, which has identical properties to hyaluronic acid produced by the body, so there are no negative effects.
  2. Simplicity of the procedure.The session lasts no more than two hours and does not require surgical interventions.
  3. Lack of anesthesia. . . Only a local anesthetic is used.
  4. PainlessInjecting fillers is pretty easy.
  5. Multifunctionality of drugs.Using modern fillers, you can change not only the volume, but also the shape of the breast, as well as eliminate asymmetry.
  6. No allergic reactions.The filler has a consistency close to the composition of the tissues of the mammary gland, which means that it is excluded from probing and the manifestation of allergies.
  7. Short recovery period(several days).
  8. The result can be evaluated immediately after the procedure., because with this technology, the swelling is not as pronounced as with other methods, and the filler is immediately distributed in the corrected places.
  9. Additional correction is allowed, after a while, to maintain efficiency.

Defects

Despite the many advantages, the method has some disadvantages, namely:

  1. Difficult diagnoses of the mammary glands. Taking an X-ray of the mammary glands after the procedure is not recommended, as the fillers will be visible on the X-ray. Doctors can make a mistake in the diagnosis, mistaking the consequences of the procedure for a tumor.
  2. The complexity of palpation and examination of the breast for neoplasms.
  3. Fragility. The effect has a maximum duration of 2 years.
  4. The probability of migration of the filling.
  5. The possibility of infection. To avoid such a problem, you need to observe hygiene and follow the advice of a cosmetologist.
  6. The high cost of the service.

Training

tests before breast augmentation

Two weeks before the injections, it is required to undergo a general examination and pass the tests, which will be prescribed by the specialist responsible for the procedure.

As a rule, this is a general blood and urine analysis, biochemistry, coagulogram. The doctor should refer you for an EKG and ultrasound of the mammary glands. It is necessary to consult with a therapist and endocrinologist on the eve of the operation.

It is not recommended to drink alcohol a few days before injections. Important! The doctor should know if you should take any medications on the eve of the operation.

Technique

This operation must be carried out by a qualified specialist who has completed a special training course. He must have diplomas and certificates confirming his qualifications.

The work is carried out in several stages:

  1. The skin is treated with an antiseptic, a local anesthetic is applied.
  2. After a few minutes, the medicine is slowly injected into the previously marked places.
  3. Fillers can be injected using different methods (under the chest or under the pectoralis major muscle). It depends on the original shape of the breast and the desired result.
  4. After the introduction of HA, the tissues are again treated with an antiseptic.

The maximum volume of the drug injected into a mammary gland should not exceed 300 ml.

Rehabilitation

compression garments after breast augmentation

The recovery period on average lasts from one to three weeks, depending on the individual characteristics of the organism.

In order not to provoke the appearance of serious complications, for several weeks after the procedure, you should refrain from visiting the pool, solarium or sauna and avoid hypothermia.

It is strictly forbidden to sleep on your stomach so that the gel does not move. Also, massages cannot be performed during the recovery period.

The first 3-4 weeks are recommended to reduce physical activity, especially in the upper body. You should not wear normal bras or synthetic fabrics.

During the rehabilitation period, it is required to wear special compression underwear.

If you follow these simple guidelines, the result will only be pleasant.

Complications

Patients rarely experience complications after the procedure. Of the common side effects, the following can be highlighted:

  • bruising and swelling at skin puncture sites;
  • mild pain in the chest area;
  • increased body temperature (rare).

These symptoms are observed for two days after the operation.

Sometimes more serious consequences arise. In most cases, this is because the patient did not follow the recommendations during the rehabilitation period or after the procedure, contrary to contraindications.

Such complications are likely:

  • gel migration and spreading;
  • inflammatory processes;
  • the gel does not hold a certain shape well;
  • asymmetry;
  • necrosis of breast tissue (occurs when an infection is introduced).

Efficiency

breast measurement after augmentation

The desired result lasts from 12 to 24 months. Acid dissolves in the body over time.

The duration of the effect depends on the individual characteristics, in particular, the condition of the skin, its firmness and elasticity. The final result is evaluated at the end of the rehabilitation period.

To maintain the effect, a correction should be made every 1-2 years. During the initial correction, 40% of the initial volume of the filler is injected into the mammary glands.

With the second, about 15%. This method significantly prolongs the effect and reduces the risk of premature loss of breast shape.

Prices

The technique is quite expensive. The final price depends on the following factors:

  • the amount of filling introduced;
  • the cost of the drug;
  • the prestige of the clinic;
  • cost of the services of a cosmetologist.

Alternative methods

Mammoplasty

The conclusion is the introduction of silicone implants in the mammary glands. This technique is effective, but it has many drawbacks.

First, surgery under general anesthesia is required, and second, problems with the implants can arise.

After injections with hyaluronic acid, the breasts look more natural than after mammoplasty.

Thread lifting

suture lift for breast augmentation

This technique aims to correct and improve the shape of the bust without surgery.

Despite the simplicity of the procedure, it is not suitable for everyone and has a number of important limitations.

As a result of tightening with threads, the breast does not increase in volume, but becomes more elastic, elastic and toned.

Mesotherapy

The technique consists of introducing a meso-cocktail into the mammary glands, the composition of which is determined by a specialist, depending on the problem.

Mesotherapy helps to slightly enlarge the breasts, remove stretch marks, age spots and scars. Many patients note the pain of such a procedure.

Laser correction

This is a relatively new technology for breast correction. Its essence lies in the use of laser rays that affect the mammary glands.

Unlike other methods, laser technology can only slightly tighten and enhance the shape of the breast.

Breast augmentation with your own fat

The procedure consists in taking your own fatty substance from the problem areas, after which special processing of the fat is carried out and its subsequent introduction into the area of the mammary glands.

The indisputable advantage of this technology is that no foreign bodies or substances enter the body.

In addition to bulking, you can simultaneously get rid of unnecessary fat deposits. This technique is not suitable for underweight girls.

Popular methods

The most common methods of breast augmentation with home remedies include:

  1. Iodine mesh.
  2. Apply compresses.
  3. The use of special infusions.

The effect of folk remedies is possible only after very long-term use.
