Hybrid breast augmentation: How to solve the zero size problem

methods of breast augmentation surgery

According to statistics, 24% of women in the world are dissatisfied with their bust size, and 16% are willing to enlarge with the help of a plastic surgeon. Among them, almost 30% have zero breast size, which is considered a difficult case in plastic surgery. How realistic is this and what methods are used to enlarge breasts of zero size?

In fact, the advent of this method gave a chance to realize their dream of big breasts to those who could not help before. If the girl has a second or at least a first breast size, you can stretch the skin and place an implant. For girls with zero breast size, many surgeons refused to perform the surgery. Implant placement was impossible due to the unaesthetic result - the breast would look like a ball covered with skin.

What is a hybrid correction?

Initially, liposuction appeared - a method of removing excess fat from problem areas: thighs, abdomen, waist. Further, doctors began conducting experiments that showed that fat is well rooted and can be used as a donor material for various body shaping, in areas where extra volume is needed.

Thus appeared lipophilization, which formed the basis of the hybrid technique. During hybrid correction, with the help of previously taken adipose tissue of the patient, a conditional frame or “cushion” is created along the contour of the implant so that it does not feel like something separate to the touch. This avoids the notorious effect of a taut ball. That is, the implant is "surrounded" by soft fat and looks very natural! After the edema disappears, when the actual result can be assessed, the breast looks natural and remains soft to the touch.

Usually specialists perform lipophilization immediately, along with breast augmentation, in a single operation, which takes about 2-3 hours. But there are also cases when the implant is installed directly for the first time, the reduction of edema and the appearance of the actual contours of the new breast are expected. It takes about a month, after which you can safely frame your breasts with fat.

You have to understand that the size of zero is a completely flat chest on which only the nipples stand out.

Hybrid correction advantage

If it is still possible to solve the problem with the lack of skin (the skin is stretched), you still need to keep in mind that the skin will stretch exactly to the size of the implant. The implant itself will be clearly visible and noticeable to the touch. Filling the breasts with fat adds a little volume and hides the implant under the fat layer for more natural breasts.

Who is this technique for?

First of all, it is recommended for women who lack their own fat layer on the breasts and few mammary glands responsible for breast volume - this is a notorious size of "zero". You need to understand that zero size is an absolutely flat chest on which only the nipples stand out (according to the child’s body type).

In the past, many surgeons refused to perform surgery on girls of zero breast size.

If you simply insert an implant with such physiological characteristics of a woman, after the tissue edema recedes, the implant will become clearly visible, all the way to the contour. For example, this will be noticeable in the anterior axillary region, and this is not only not aesthetically pleasing, but also causes physical discomfort in the patient herself. Imagine clearly feeling a foreign body inside you, bothering you both physically and emotionally. However, with the classic method of augmentation, nothing else can be done - no adipose tissue and the implant is covered only with skin.

How's the operation going?

First, the surgeon removes fat from places on the body where it is usually abundant - these are deposits of fat on the hips, abdomen, thighs, knees or arms. Next, the surgeon makes an incision in a certain access area, which is negotiated with the patient. Access is possible through the contour of the nipple, in the armpit or in the crease under the breast. Then there is the separation of glandular and pectoral muscle tissue - this is done to create a conditional "pocket" where the implant is placed.

Next, the fat collected during liposuction goes through separation - it is purified from plasma and other blood derivatives. The cleaned mass is then injected through a special thin needle along the contour of the implant.

Usually one such manipulation is enough to achieve a stable and long-lasting result. In very rare cases, the fat can be removed, in which case another operation is prescribed.

The main advantage of this method is the beautiful aesthetic effect and the comfort of the patients afterwards. After hybrid correction, the breasts look very natural and are difficult to distinguish from natural touches.

Recovery period

From the time of surgery, primary rehabilitation lasts for the first two weeks or so. At this point, the woman will not be able to work, so she will have to be on sick leave. As for the pain, they are present in the first two to three days after the manipulation, but at the same time they are easily removed with anesthetic drugs. After three days, the patient can return home, with strict adherence to the surgeon's recommendations.

Two weeks later, a suture examination and removal is scheduled. At that time, in general, the woman gets used to the new forms, the initial discomfort passes. You can start doing sports in a gentle way, removing the load on your shoulders and chest. Do not lift heavy kettles or make sudden movements.

In addition, during the first month, the patient should constantly wear special compression garments - it helps to correct the correct, anatomical position of the new breast.

You will be able to admire the final result in about 5-6 months, when the hidden edema recedes and the sensitivity of the tissue is completely restored.
