According to statistics, the vast majority of women are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts. Without intervention, the bust can increase during pregnancy, with weight gain, before menstruation. In other cases, to correct the shape, you will have to resort to methods that have proven effective: surgery, massage, sports, cosmetology.
In order to choose an effective and safe way to enlarge the mammary glands, it is necessary to take into account their initial state, the planned result of the transformation, the general health of the patient.
Breast Augmentation Surgery Techniques
Breast augmentation with implants is characterized by access to the pocket in which the silicone prosthesis will be placed.
In most cases, the doctor will cut the tissue around the circumference of the nipple. This is due to the fact that the scar will be invisible on the areola, and a reduction in the diameter of the nipple is necessary for almost all patients who opt for plastic surgery.
Access through the armpit or the area around the navel is used less frequently, as this technique is much more complex and requires lengthy rehabilitation.
The method of performing the operation can be different in the place of the implant: under the gland, under the muscle or by a combined method.
Predicted outcome of breast augmentation with implants
As a result of surgery using silicone dentures, it is possible to enlarge the bust by several sizes. But in order to estimate how harmonious the new shapes will be, 3D modeling is used - visualization in a graphics program in which photos of the patient are loaded.
Almost 95% of women who have undergone mammoplasty are satisfied with the result, unlike the statistics on another popular operation - rhinoplasty, where the number of repeated visits to the surgeon is high.
Types of implants
Implants differ in their shape:
- circle;
- anatomically, teardrop-shaped.
The patient chooses based on aesthetic preferences and body type. Anatomical prostheses look natural; after tissue healing the surgeon’s intervention will not be noticeable. But round implants do not lose their shape, even decades after surgery. To prevent the migration of artificial breasts, you should choose dentures with a textured rather than a smooth surface.
They can also differ in the composition of the implant filler:
- silicone;
- biogel;
- saline.
Prostheses filled with saline are soft to the touch and have the most affordable price. Gel and silicone make the implants firm and elastic. Gel-filled dentures are not always rigid: there are three degrees of density:
- soft, which lose shape faster than others, but cannot be distinguished from the mammary glands;
- firm, retaining shape for a long time;
- soft touch, which is a compromise between hard and soft.
To select an implant, the surgeon should describe in detail what result he wants to see after the operation and whether the bust should look natural.
Breast lift
With oscillations in body weight, lactation, or with an initially large breast size, ptosis inevitably develops: the bust hangs and looks unfilled. In this case, it is necessary to cut off the excess tissue to restore the beautiful shape. In this case, prostheses should not be used, because the breast visually looks more voluminous after surgery.
The method of surgery depends on how severe the ptosis is. Light lifting usually uses periareolar surgery in which the surgeon makes two incisions: along the contour of the nipple areola and above. Excess tissue flaps are excised, and the edges of the two incisions are sutured.
If the patient's breasts are more deformed in the upper half and the nipples are directed downwards, the crescent cutting method is used when the nipple is raised in the same way as for periareolar mastopexy.
For significant ptosis, an anchor lift is used in which an anchor-shaped incision is made whose upper point starts from the nipple and the lower line runs horizontally along the fold of the breast.
Endoscopic breast augmentation
Endoscopy differs from the usual procedure by using special equipment that allows you to make an incision no longer than 4 cm to insert a prosthesis from a point away from the chest. The surgeon can observe the process of placing the implant under the muscle on the screen, where the image is broadcast from an endoscope equipped with a camera.
This method of surgery is safe and no one can guess about the unnaturalness of the breast because there will be no signs of intervention on the bust.
Breast augmentation in the salon
If you plan to increase your bust by a maximum of one size, you can resort to cosmetic procedures that stimulate blood circulation and strengthen the skin.
Myostimulation
During myostimulation, the effect of immediate discharges on the pectoral muscles occurs. The mammary glands do not enlarge, but the muscles will become bulky. A similar effect can be achieved with the help of physical exercises, but sports, unlike the course of myostimulation, have many contraindications.
Microcurrent therapy
Microcurrents, such as myostimulation, are a procedure in which an electric current is applied. But in this case it does not affect the muscles, but the skin. Improving local metabolism affects the process of contraction of collagen fibers that are responsible for skin elasticity.
Laser Procedure
Laser helps to firm the skin and get rid of minor ptosis. In some clinics, the procedure is called laser rejuvenation: by strengthening the breast frame, you can make it more voluminous and elastic, but in this way it will not be possible to increase the size of the bust.
Mesotherapy or biorevitalization
Injectable cosmetology is one of the most effective ways to improve skin condition. Biorevitalization and mesotherapy allow you to inject hyaluronic acid and vitamin complexes to the desired depth of the skin. And the injections themselves cause the accelerated production of elastin and collagen for the regeneration of skin damaged by the needle.
Treatments aimed at improving the condition of the skin cannot enlarge the breasts. But you can introduce fillers into the bust that will make the patterns lush for up to six months.
Before breast augmentation with contour plastic, you must be sure that there are no contraindications:
- decreased blood viscosity;
- menstruation;
- infection in the body;
- allergies or autoimmune diseases.
How to enlarge breasts by folk methods?
Numerous alternative breast augmentation methods are usually ineffective. Such methods of therapy as massage, medication, sports and special cosmetics have a proven clinical effect, while decoctions, infusions and lotions in no way affect the size of the mammary glands and muscles.
Breast augmentation massage
Massage is an effective method for breast augmentation without surgery or injections. It helps to improve local circulation, strengthen muscles and tighten the skin. Immediately after the procedure, the effect of a slight breast augmentation occurs,
, but disappears after a few hours.
Contraindications to massage are:
- cysts;
- neoplasms;
- sensitive skin prone to irritation.
There are several methods of massage, but with any technology you must first fully perform all manipulations with one breast, and only then move on to the other.
Water breast massage
Hydromassage can be done during the shower every day. After you have adjusted the pressure so that the water gushes a lot, you need to massage your chest for 2-3 minutes on each side. The water should be comfortable, but not too hot.
You can then complicate the process with contrast in the shower. In order not to catch a cold, it is necessary to gradually increase the time of exposure to cold water: first 10 seconds with a minute break, then 20, 30 and 60 seconds.
Corrective breast massage
Breast reshaping massage is performed with the help of hands, so it is called manual. It works on both the muscles and the skin, helping to make the bust round and taut.
The following manipulations are performed during the massage:
- three fingers (middle, index and ring) should be guided around the chest circumference, gradually increasing the pressure;
- slide your fingers from the nipple to the top of the chest;
- tighten the breast, trying not to pull the skin, but to act on the soft tissues.
- taking the chest in one hand, the other should be gently tapped on them;
This simple breast augmentation massage includes all stages of a classic massage: stroking, pinching and tapping. In this case, the procedure does not take longer than 5-7 minutes.
Vacuum breast massage
Vacuum massage increases the size of the bust in a few minutes, but the effect quickly disappears. The procedure requires a special device in which each breast is placed separately and which allows the use of an air pump to create negative pressure, which improves blood circulation.
Japanese breast massage
Japanese or acupressure massage promises to make the shapes more rounded by acting on the biologically active points located:
- on both sides of the thyroid gland;
- above the shoulder blades;
- above the collarbone.
Press the dots for 5-7 seconds with a 20 second pause. The total duration of the procedure is 5 minutes.
Breast Augmentation Masks
Traditional medicine offers several ways to enlarge breasts without special devices and medications.
- A bag of yeast should be diluted in warm water to the consistency of sour cream, applied to the bust for 15 minutes, rinsed with water.
- Mix chopped boiled potatoes with vegetable oil, honey and sour cream in equal proportions. Apply to skin, rinse off after 25 minutes.
Masks have no scientific evidence of effectiveness, but they take good care of breast skin.
Breast Enlargement Creams
Breast augmentation cosmetics work through a composition that combines herbal and chemical components.
Hormonal drugs
Hormone drugs are divided into substitution therapy, dietary supplements and oral contraceptives. Drugs from this second category are used for breast augmentation.
Side effects
While taking oral contraceptives, you may come across:
- no menstruation;
- tumor development;
- changes in the size of the organs of the reproductive system, including the vagina;
- formation of cysts in the mammary glands;
- hormonal disorders.
These side effects are uncommon, and breast growth and skin improvement occur in almost all patients.
Breast Augmentation Products
Products that increase female sex hormone levels and improve metabolism can affect breast size:
- avocado;
- seed;
- vegetable oil;
- beans;
- med;
- nuts.
Spices are also useful: cloves, oregano, thyme, turmeric, ginger and pepper.
Breast augmentation exercises
Sport helps make the chest muscles look fuller, so that the shapes become more rounded.
To load this muscle group, it is useful to do a special set of exercises.
- Push-ups with legs apart and palms at chest level
- Closing with palm strength at chest level with elbows raised.
- Press the dumbbell from a supine position.
- Simulate skiing with dumbbells in hand.
The number of sets should be small and the weight of the dumbbells should be maximum. Also, you should eat enough calories and protein to grow your pectoral muscles.
