Each representative of the beautiful half of humanity has a zest that gives them their unique femininity. And in many respects it is all thanks to the chest, this part of the body emphasizes, and in some cases it is also a good way to adjust the figure. From time immemorial, women have been looking for different ways to emphasize and improve it. For example, breast augmentation with own fat.
Each time there were standards of beauty, and our modern life dictates its own rules - you need to be sexy, which means to have voluminous mammary glands. And now every woman has begun to strive for this, for this she tries to resort to the help of specialists. But again, you should be careful, because the he alth of the breast is no less important than its beauty!
About what representsis a corrective operation, what are the indications and contraindications, as well as a number of other important points, we will try to reveal in the topic of this article.
What do women themselves think?
What do women themselves think about breast augmentation surgery? Many ladies, having learned about such a miraculous method, are careful. In numerous forums, some women are wondering if the fat will resolve over time? Is the effect permanent or temporary?
At the same time, according to reviews about breast augmentation with own fat, opinions vary significantly. And the main reason for this difference is the need for professionalism and extensive experience of a specialist in terms of transplantation and processing of adipose tissue. If the lipofilling procedure is performed by a highly qualified doctor, the risk of complications is minimal or non-existent.
Best alternative to silicone
From an anatomical point of view, the female breast consists not only of the mammary gland, but also of fat cells (adipocytes). It is due to the latter that the breast acquires the desired volume. And the larger its size, the greater the amount of adipose tissue here. For this reason, lipofilling is a more natural method for correcting the shape of the breast.
Adipose tissue for breast augmentation surgery with own fat is taken from problem areas. The physiology of women is arranged in such a way that excess fat accumulates in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, legs, which leads to a loss of aesthetics of these parts of the body. They act as a donor, while they themselvesmammary glands are already recipients.
In fact, lipofilling (LF) is a procedure for increasing the volume, correcting the shape and eliminating defects in the mammary glands by using a natural filler (filler). And he, in fact, is the adipose tissue itself. At the same time, it is not only possible to restore charm, but also restore some breast functions after an operation related to oncological neoplasms.
In addition, it should be borne in mind that silicone prostheses in some women can cause allergic reactions.
Benefits of Lipofilling
You can find a considerable amount of feedback on breast augmentation with your own fat. And many of them emphasize all the advantages of this procedure. What exactly are the advantages of such an operation? Let's analyze everything more specifically.
As you might have guessed, lipofilling is simply ideally combined with another equally important and also corrective procedure - liposuction. You can not only change the shape and volume of the breast, but also improve problem areas. And this is already a significant advantage!
And given that the procedure is completely safe, it is unlikely that you will have to expect an allergy from your own adipose tissue. The naturalness of this technology is a stumbling block in the way of introducing fat transplantation to the masses. Other Benefits of Fat Breast Augmentation:
- There are no stitches or scars due to the low degree of trauma.
- No side effects for the most part.
- Surgery can be performed using local anesthesia.
- There are opportunities to correct any part of the body or face.
- The breast after the lipofilling procedure remains natural in visual and tactile sensations.
- The rehabilitation period lasts no more than a few hours.
- The result can last a lifetime.
Due to the fact that adipose tissue contains stem cells (and in large quantities), a rejuvenating effect is achieved. But such a procedure also has a downside, which will be discussed later.
Reverse side of the coin
Among the negative sides is the fact that the removal of adipose tissue also requires surgery, because it needs to be taken from somewhere. In addition, if a woman is slim, it is unlikely that such a procedure will benefit her.
There is also a certain nuance - this is a problem in relation to the survival of adipose tissue to the conditions of the new location. The biomaterial that is transplanted into the mammary glands to increase the breast due to fat does not always become one with it. And in some cases, it becomes a hard lump, and then the operation needs to be redone.
In addition, if there is a desire to lose weight, then the adipose tissue in the chest becomes the first target. It is from this part that resorption will begin.
Who can do
As we now know, lipofilling is the only safe procedure to restore the shape and size of the breast by filling in the missingfragment. Due to such an operation, a cosmetic defect from a previous surgical intervention is eliminated (if necessary). In addition, after a segmental resection, implant restoration is not possible.
Also, thanks to lipofilling, both breasts can be made symmetrical relative to each other. For some reason, it happens that one of the mammary glands (right or left) is smaller. In addition, breast augmentation with fat can be useful in other situations:
- Loss of shape and firmness due to pregnancy and lactation.
- Not enough tissue for implant procedure.
- The desire of the patient to increase breast volume and adjust its shape.
Well, if a woman does not like her shape and she wants to correct her mammary glands, but does not want to resort to artificial implants, then lipofilling is the only right choice. However, here you should first make sure that there are no contraindications to such a procedure.
When should you abstain?
Since lipofilling is a surgical intervention (even if it is for the benefit of the body and business), the body is in any case under stress. And this applies not only to the psychological aspect (although breast augmentation with fat looks good in the photo), but also includes a physical factor. For this reason, a preliminary consultation with the surgeon is carried out, the necessary tests are given.
Absolute contraindicationsare considered:
- The special position of women and the period of breastfeeding.
- Neoplasms of any kind.
- Weakened immunity.
- HIV or AIDS.
- Presence of infectious diseases.
- Exacerbation of diseases of the chronic stage.
- Overweight.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular system.
- Hormonal imbalance.
- A bleeding disorder.
- Planning pregnancy.
The doctor can identify other diseases, after which he will make the necessary decision: refusal of the operation or transferring the procedure to a more suitable time. You should also refrain from lipofilling for the period of menstruation.
Probable risks
Almost any surgical intervention has its own certain risks. And breast augmentation with your own fat is no exception. This operation is a rather complicated procedure, but, despite all the professionalism of the specialists and compliance with all the necessary conditions, the appearance of side effects and complications is not excluded.
Resorption of adipose tissue
In most cases, this cannot be avoided, but fortunately, the breast does not lose volume significantly. Only in extremely rare cases does complete dissolution of adipose tissue occur. And this is again due to stress: the body is used to the state that it was before the lipofilling procedure, and after the intervention it can react negatively, trying to return the usual comfortable feeling. This risk increases significantly if the doctor's recommendations are not followed.about wearing supportive underwear and taking medications.
It can also lead to a number of complications. Due to the migration of fat, seals can form, and if you do not seek medical advice in a timely manner, the development of neoplasms is possible.
What else can a breast augmentation procedure with own fat lead to? Due to the uneven dissolution of adipose tissue, pits and tubercles appear, which is noticeable not only visually, but also tactilely. Fortunately, this condition negatively affects only the appearance, only in very rare cases there can be he alth problems. In this case, the doctor may prescribe absorbable drugs to eliminate the results of the increase, or repeat the procedure.
In some cases, separate tissues of fat die off, being soaked with calcium s alts. Then there is the formation of calcifications (solid seals), which causes certain difficulties for a medical examination of the breast. They are also unpleasant to the touch.
Resorption of fat masses helps to change not only the volume of the breast, but also its shape. And as a result of the unevenness of such a process, the proportions of the mammary glands are violated.
Inflammatory processes
It is also impossible to exclude the development of inflammation after the operation, for which there are certain reasons. One of them is infection in the mammary glands during the procedure. In many ways, this indicates the incompetence and unprofessionalism of the person who performed the lipofilling.
If suchhappened, (God forbid), another operation should be performed to cleanse the fat and inflammation. Another reason is associated with non-observance of preoperative hygiene, when cosmetic residues are found in the chest cavity. And since these are chemical particles, the body reacts to their presence in an appropriate way: it tries to get rid of them, seeing a threat. The result is inflammation.
After the procedure for breast augmentation with the help of own fat, when individual cells die, they disintegrate into components. Sometimes, instead of calmly removing such “garbage”, the body perceives it as a serious danger. As a result, an inflammatory process develops in the area of dead cells. You can remove them with the help of special preparations. Treatment must begin in a timely manner, otherwise there is a serious threat to the woman's he alth.
Other consequences
There may be other complications after corrective breast surgery:
- Puffiness is more of a side effect of any breast surgery. However, swelling disappears within 7 days, does not pose a serious threat and does not require any special treatment. At the same time, if the swelling is large, it should not be ignored. Often, their appearance is associated with non-compliance with the recommendations of the surgeon after surgery, excessive consumption of fluids or spicy food.
- Hematomas - they inevitably appear when the vessels are injured, which occurs under the influence of fat embedded in the chest. As a result, this leads tobruising. As a rule, they also pass within a week, in rare cases two.
- Fibrosis is the result of an excessive amount of adipose tissue being injected into the breast. The connective tissue, which is located between the glands and fat, thickens, and this process is accompanied by pain, and quite severe. To the touch, this is manifested by bumps or other irregularities, and sometimes fibrosis is visible during visual inspection.
And since the appearance of many complications in most cases is associated with the lack of professionalism of doctors, it is necessary to responsibly choose clinics where they responsibly approach breast augmentation with fat. Feedback from women who have already had such a procedure will be a kind of guarantee or useful recommendation.
Preparatory stage
If a woman decides to enlarge her breasts by introducing her own adipose tissue, then one cannot do without preliminary preparation. During the first appointment, the doctor examines the patient, which allows him to assess her general condition, identify problem areas and designate the area for taking the necessary material.
After this, a general clinical examination follows, which includes the delivery of tests (blood, urine), ECG. Also, a woman needs to get permission from a therapist to perform an operation. Immediately before the procedure, you need to gain strength, relax. Do not take aspirin and avoid cigarettes and alcohol for 14 days before surgery.
Lipofilling technology
On the one hand, this procedure seems easy: I tookbiomaterial, placed in the chest cavity. In reality, everything is not as simple as it seems, the result directly depends on the technology of its implementation, which can be conditionally divided into 2 main stages:
- Sampling material. As a rule, specialists pay attention to the hips, buttocks, abdominal wall (as mentioned above). This is done with a curette with a diameter of 3-4 mm, connected to a syringe. A pressure difference is created in its half, due to which fat cells are absorbed.
- Transplantation. The evacuated adipose tissue is subjected to centrifugation, and then it is introduced into the mammary gland. Here, strict control over the procedure is necessary, it is necessary to exclude the ingress of fat into the parenchyma. And since 50% of the fat graft is resorbed, to obtain the desired result from the breast augmentation procedure, almost 2 times more fat is taken from its own fat than necessary.
The main thing is that the donor tissue retains its viability during the collection and after transplantation to a new location.
Recommendations from experts
To minimize all risks after surgery, you must follow the simple rules of doctors. During the first 24 hours, pain, bruising, redness and swelling will appear. Do not be afraid of this, this phenomenon is the norm. After a week or two, they will go away on their own. With a successful outcome of the operation, the patient can go home on the second day. As for the rehabilitation period, it can last a week.
During the first daysserious physical exertion should be avoided, as well as limiting movements of the arms and upper torso. If the pain is severe, painkillers should be taken. It is mandatory to wear compression underwear. You can start sports activities no earlier than 2 months after the lipofilling procedure. And you should abstain from intimacy for a week.
Hygiene is essential to avoid the risk of infection after breast augmentation with your own fat. And after each water procedure, the puncture sites should be treated with alcohol or iodine solution. The doctor prescribes antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce unwanted risks.
