BREAST LIFTING, BREAST LIPOFILLING, BREAST PROSTHESES
BREAST LIFTING: BREAST AUGMENTATION
During a breast lift, the surgeon opts for breast augmentation if the glandular volume has decreased, if the nipple is not too low and if there is not too much skin.
In this case, the surgeon inserts a breast prosthesis behind the mammary gland. This intervention achieves a lifting effect and leaves very few scars.
BREAST LIFTING: BREAST REDUCTION
If the breast is so saggy that the nipple is below the breast crease, a breast lift is more like a breast reduction.
In this case, the surgeon removes skin instead of glandular tissue, which causes more scarring. This type of breast lift takes about two to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
BREAST LIPOFILLING
Until 2011, the only technique to increase the volume of the chest was the use of breast implants. Lipofilling now offers a less radical alternative to correct breast hypotrophy by giving volume to the breasts without going through the fitting of breast prostheses.
The principle of breast lipofilling is to inject fat into the breasts of a patient to increase the size of her breasts. This is an alternative to breast augmentation with implants that provides even more natural results. No foreign bodies are added to the breasts. Generally, the patient's fatty tissue obtained by liposuction is used.
Also known as “fat transfer“, breast lipofilling is an aesthetic surgical technique that kills two birds with one stone: slim certain parts of the body by removing fat which will then be reinjected into the chest. and give volume to the latter. The extraction can be performed on all parts of the body (for example, belly, love handles, inner thighs)
BREAST AUGMENTATION BY BREAST PROSTHESIS
If the volume of the breasts is insufficient compared to the female morphology, we speak of breast hypoplasia. This is due to either insufficient breast development, weight loss or pregnancy. In these last two cases, the breasts can also be saggy and flabby (breast ptosis).
A breast augmentation allows you to increase the volume of the breast using prostheses.
Breast augmentation is indicated for women whose breast volume is, in their opinion, insufficient in relation to their figure.
The objective is to create a breast with a harmonious and natural shape, more voluminous and proportional to the silhouette, leaving scars as discreet as possible. This procedure improves body image.
The objective of a breast augmentation is to fill the missing volume by inserting a silicone prosthesis into the breast.
The insertion of a breast prosthesis is also associated with various breast malformations, such as the total absence of breast development or certain normal forms.
