BREAST AUGMENTATION
The purpose of a breast augmentation surgery is to enhance and to correct various facets of a woman’s breasts. It involves undergoing surgical procedures using implants or fat transfers from the body to increase breast size or breast volume restoration due to aging, pregnancy or weight loss.
Breast augmentation may also be applied for those desiring reconstruction after mastectomy or injury. This procedure is also a popular solution for those wanting fuller breasts, balanced figure as well as giving your self-image a boost and improved quality of life.
PROCEDURAL STEPS
01
Anaesthesia
Medications are administered for your comfort during the medical procedure. The breast augmentation treatment is done under general anesthesia. Your anesthesia will be explained during or after your consultation with the surgeons and also after the results of your pre-operative check.
02
The Incision
Incisions are made in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring. You and your plastic surgeon will discuss which incision options are appropriate for your desired outcome. There are 3 main incision options;
-
Inframammary incision
-
Periareolar Incisions
-
Transaxillary (Armpit) Incision
03
Implant Choice
Breast size and shape are important, so be honest and open about your expectations when talking with your surgeon. Implant type and size will be determined not just on your desired increase in size but more importantly on your breast anatomy, skin elasticity and body type.
Options for Breast Implants:
-
Silicone implants
-
Saline implants
04
Inserting and placing the implant.
After the incision is made, a breast implant is inserted into a pocket either:
-
Under the pectoral muscle (a submuscular placement), or
-
Directly behind the breast tissue, over the pectoral muscle (a submammary/subglandular placement)
The method for inserting and positioning implants depends on the type of implant, degree of enlargement desired, your body type, and your surgeon’s
recommendations.
05
Closing the incisions
Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue and with sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape to close the skin. Over time the incision lines will fade.
06
See the results
The results of breast augmentation are immediately visible. Over time, post-surgical swelling will resolve and incision lines will fade. Satisfaction with your new image should continue to grow as you recover and realize the fulfillment of your goal for fuller breasts.
BREAST IMPLANT SHELL
Breast implant shell quality is an essential safety feature and is also key to providing flexibility and other mechanical properties crucial for the device’s performance.
With the Ergonomix2® implants, Motiva® is introducing a new silicone formulation and shell configuration that improves elongation,5 enhancing its ability to adapt to changes.
Why is this important? The ability to bend easily is essential for the implant to be introduced through small incisions. Ergonomix2® is an implant designed to enhance minimally invasive techniques like Motiva MinimalScar®.
