Augmentation Mammoplasty
The augmentation mammoplasty is also called build up breasts surgery. We inserted implants into breasts with operative methods, in order to achieve augmentation of breasts and aesthetic outcomes.
                  
       

                  
The indications
1. Small breast
2. When wearing swimsuit or clothes, feel oneself inferior
3. The breast shrinks and loses strong and good appearance, after reducing weight.
4. The breasts are asymmetric , the obvious and relatively small in one side.
The positions of the implants
The implants can be put into three positions: Sub-glandular, Sub-fascia, and under pectoralis major m.
The incisions

  1. The axilla: The insertion of the implants is mainly under pectoralis major m. The wounds are not obvious and can be hided.

The areola: This kind of approach is closed to the dissection space we need. The over-dissection of upper margin has less opportunity, so that it is less possible to more implant upward moving upward of the implant. But the glandular tissue ducts, and nerve will be damaged.

  1. The inferior mammary line: The advantage is no injuries of the mammary glands, but the scar will be exposed.
  2. Around the nipple: The wound is almost absent and no scarring, but damage mammary glands, ducts, and nerve.
  3. The umbilicus: We utilize special dissection-technology to insert the implant to the space between mammary glands and pectorlais major muscle from the umbilicus,

 

 

Complications

  1. The capsule contracture: After the insertion of the implants, the tissue will form a layer of fibrotic capsule, because of the foreign body reaction. The incidence is three to eight percent.
  2. The water bag leakage: Salt water bag of the implant can bear great pressure (200 / square centimeter). If acupuncture or under strongly blunt pressure, the implant will leak. It is about 1% to 2% opportunity to the leakage of the water bag during ten years period.
  3. The sense of touch and shape are unnatural: the position of the implant is too high or too low, depends on the degree and the previous dissection.
  4. The implant ptosis: The water bag glides down gradually because of over-dissection of inferior mammary margin, insufficient strength of inferior mammary connection tissue and the gravity, With insufficient volume of the upper breast, the ' double layers ' of the breast will form.
  5. Bleeding: Bleeding while stripping the pectoralis major muscle, so we must put ' the drainage tube ' and lead out the sanguineous fluid after the operation for two to four days. If the severe hematoma takes place, the patient even need to perform the operation to stop bleeding and remove the clot again.
  6. Infection: Low incidence.
    Under the suitable medical treatment, the patient can't improve state of illness condition after infecting, and then the implant must be removed.
  7. The nerve damage: If the subcutaneous nerve broken, the numb senses of the regional skin even nipple will take place.
