No one will surprise with plastic operations: rhinoplasty, mamublasty or liposuction have become ordinary and granted.Instagram models make breasts on barter, and their subscribers for years, have been accumulating money to make a dream figure in a local surgeon.
But this was not always the case.Even in the middle of the last century, the operation to increase the mammary glands was not only inaccessible for 90% of the population, but also insecure.
We talk to a plastic surgeon and discover what has changed in plastic surgery in recent decades.
How did everything start?
The beautiful female breasts have always caused the delight of men and the envy of women, so since ancient times, girls have been interested in the issue of maintaining the form and increasing the size of their advantages.
Several centuries ago, this was physically impossible, since surgeons did not possess the methods or material necessary to increase the breast glands.Surgeons of the late XIX: early XX tried to shape the chest with several injections, but this effect was short -term.
In the 40s of the last century, liquid silicone began to enter the chest.Of particular popularity, this method was in Japanese prostitutes that wanted to attract the military who underwent treatment after injuries.
Beauty requires sacrifice, and here it was not without them: some time after the operation, women began soft tissue necrosis, and often such cases ended with chest amputation or death.
The history of silicone implants precisely begins in 1962, when mothers of six children Timmy Jin Lindsay increased breasts in a size in two hours.The operation was successful and the woman is still alive.Now he is 83 years old.
Since then, the technology of increasing the mammary glands using silicone implants has only developed.
Are silicone breasts a curse?
After the procedure has become more or less available, women wanted not only to change the shape of the chest, but also increase size.We all remember the failed operations of celebrities in the early 2000s, when the inappropriate dimensions spoiled the figures of the girls.
The era of vulgar "silicone valleys" has already passed, and now women are approaching the question of breast plastism more significantly.
The expression "silicone breasts" is a very figurative opposite of the expression "natural breasts".Fortunately, the vast majority of modern patients reach a plastic surgeon not by volume, but by the form, behind the natural form of the chest.And although the material of the implants is the same silicone, the security and quality of the latest generations of implants is incomparably higher.
According to statistics, patients from 27 to 42 years after the birth of one or more children who wish to restore the form of the chest after breastfeeding are directed more frequently to the plastic surgeon.
The second largest frequency of patients are young patients from 18 to 27 years old, who are not satisfied with the original form or breast size.
As for reconstructive operations after the amputation of the breast as a result of oncology, medical cancer institutions are dedicated to this area in most cases.A modern approach involves simultaneous mastratomy and breast reconstruction.That is, not always breast cancer leads to amputation.Surgical operations to eliminate the breast become less, since radiotherapy works more effectively.
Is implant cancer a myth?
There is still an opinion that implantation can cause breast cancer, and this fear has no causes.The fact is that in 1992, doctors suspect that silicone causes autoimmune diseases, for example, rheumatoid arthritis or breast cancer.
Because of this, in many countries the prohibition of such operations was introduced for a long time.But in 2006, the moratorium was eliminated, since numerous studies have confirmed the safety of silicone prostheses.
To date, it is believed that if chest enlarged surgery has passed without violations, then the risk of breast cancer is minimal.
In addition to oncology, many girls fear that implants can deteriorate and have to replace them, but plastic surgeons say this is another myth.
The most ridiculous and fun myth of our industry is that when it flies on an plane, implants increase in volume and can explode.But this myth has already become a bicycle.Most girls fear negative health consequences, for example, the impossibility of breastfeeding or the need to replace implants after expiration of the expiration date.But modern materials for implants are not subject to changes during life and do not need to change without special medical indications.
Where is it better to do?
Although plastic surgery is a relatively young science, in recent decades in this direction, great success has been achieved.
As for mamublasty, it has become one of the most popular plastic surgeries worldwide.She acquired signs of a certain routine, on the one hand, on the other, the operation of the operation improved continuously, new techniques, technologies and materials appeared.
This allowed maximizing the risk of possible complications and adverse consequences, to obtain the most predicted and persistent results, to develop an individual selection algorithm for each particular patient.
Currently, both abroad and we have developed all the spheres of cosmetic surgery, including mamublasty.
The variety of interventions, new technologies, modern teams are very represented.
And, after 5-10 years in plastic surgery, we will see even more development.
The future is already emerging here and now.Cellular technologies, tissue engineering (when fabric complexes are grown), 3D impression of organs and tissues is no longer fantasy, but reality.However, the main principle in medicine is "not damaging."And before introducing in wide clinical practice, any new technology is very useful.All studies and tests must comply with the most important criteria: safety and efficiency
