Breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid is currently considered the safest method. Prior to the advent of this method, mastoplasty was used.
Breast surgery was performed, in which the implants were inserted. The breasts grew by several sizes, but looked unnatural.
At the same time, no one could give a full guarantee that the operation would be performed without complications. The advent of this breast augmentation method exposes women to fewer risks.
How does breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid increase?
Many have heard of hyaluronic acid. One knows it as the main component of synovial fluid, which provides lubrication of articular cartilage to connective tissues and one has heard it from the world of cosmetology.
In particular, it has become known for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. How does this happen?
Hyaluronic acid has the unique ability to attract and retain water like a sponge, providing volume and hydration to tissues.
Thanks to this feature, this polysaccharide has been used successfully in plastic surgery for breast augmentation.
This technique allows you to have the desired breast size without resorting to surgery.
Breast augmentation is performed with gel injections, ie skin fillers based on hyaluronic acid.
Since the molecules of this polysaccharide are large and retain a large amount of water, it is similar in composition to a thick gel. About 300 ml of gel is required to enlarge a breast of one size.
How is the process conducted? The procedure is painful, so it is performed under local anesthesia. Before the operation, all the necessary examinations are performed and the day of the operation is set.
Non-surgical breast augmentation takes about 40 minutes. The drug is injected into the chest using a cannula.
This is a special tube that looks like a feather and replaces a needle. At the injection site, punctures remain, to which cosmetic sutures are applied.
The chest is given exactly the shape that the patient wants to have. It is very important that the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist, because not all doctors are able to properly insert the gel into the breast.
After the end of the procedure, on days 2 and 3, there are unpleasant pains and a burning sensation in the area of the mammary glands. Redness of the breast skin, hematoma formation, itching are also possible. All these symptoms will disappear soon.
Recovery period
Within 1 month, the patient should not expose the upper body to physical activity. Both extreme heat and cold are contraindicated.
You can not put pressure on the mammary gland, ie massage it or sleep, as the gel can be displaced and the breast is deformed.
To support the bust, it is recommended to wear a compression garment. The recovery period depends on the age of the patient, the quality of the skin, the amount of gel injected and the lifestyle.
Duration
Fillers are divided into absorbable and non-absorbable. For breast augmentation, the first type of injections are mainly used, as they are based on hyaluronic acid, which dissolves quickly.
The effect of its influence is temporary - from 6 months to a year. Non-absorbable injections are dangerous due to the development of various complications, so they are practically not used.
Botox breast augmentation is often confused with dermal fillers. The difference is that Botox preparations are harmful to the body as they contain botulinum toxin.
A gel with hyaluronic acid is a filler that increases tissue volume.
What kind of breast fillers are used?
There are many different hyaluronic acid fillers for breast augmentation.
As they differ in their properties, a specialist should choose them, based on the characteristics of the patient's skin and mammary glands.
It is necessary to take into account one more point: the gel with hyaluronic acid has an antidote. It is a special enzyme called hyaluronidase. It is able to destroy the unsuccessful result.
Contraindications and complications
Is hyaluronic acid breast augmentation contraindicated? There are many cases where it is impossible to use a gel for breast augmentation.
Contraindications include any breast cancer, both benign and malignant.
Such surgeries are not performed even when a woman is planning a pregnancy, as the unabsorbed residues of the gel can compress the milk ducts during lactation. In case of autoimmune diseases, mammary gland surgeries are contraindicated.
When you perform an ultrasound of the mammary glands or an X-ray, the cysts are no different from the accumulation of fillers and are often confused.
This makes it difficult to examine the organ for possible tumors. Palpation also makes diagnosis difficult.
If the breasts become inflamed, they will need surgery and antibiotics for treatment.
For the sake of perfection, many women risk their health by not paying attention to the contraindications.
The effect after the introduction of hyaluronic acid is undeniable and the result is tangible: the breast becomes elastic and plump and the skin is much younger.
But this effect is temporary, so you have to repeat the process. Such interventions can lead to negative consequences.
Advantages and disadvantages of the procedure
This method is not suitable for women who have organ prolapse (fall). This process will only make the problem worse.
Hyaluronic acid dissolves over time, but before that, procedures related to exposure to the mammary glands should not be applied.
The fact that this procedure does little to injure the mammary gland is a great advantage, but after administration of the drug to the mammary glands, due to the swelling of hyaluronic acid, the soft tissues, blood vessels and ducts are compressed.
The drug, occupying a specific area in the chest, acts on nearby tissues.
Why is hyaluronic acid breast augmentation banned in France? This method does not pose any particular risks or health threats.
But as a precautionary measure in this country they decided to introduce a ban, since after the introduction of hyaluronic acid, the diagnosis of malignancies is very complicated.
