Mammoplasty is considered one of the most popular plastic surgery in the world. Why do women do this? It is difficult to answer this question definitively. Some people think that nature does not reward them with full breasts, while others hope to quickly regain their previous body shape after childbirth and breastfeeding.
German scientists recently conducted a survey of patients in cosmetic surgery clinics and found out the main reasons that force women to perform operations fearlessly.
- "I am a mother of three children, and I breastfeed them. As a result, my breasts drooped a lot and the skin on them became elongated. "
- "I have been fat since I was a child, and now I have finally lost weight. I have been dieting for a long time, but I don't have time to participate in sports. Therefore, the breasts are as ugly as them. "
- "A few years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The right breast was taken away. I don't like mosaic implants. I want to be a real woman. "
- "My breasts are too small, so I am often teased at school. As a little girl, I still feel insecure. As a result, there are big problems in my personal life. I know that when I make my breasts bigger, Everything will change. "
- "This is my last hope for beautiful, strong breasts. I tortured myself for a long time, did special exercises, and even drank pills, but nothing worked. Surgery is better. "
- "Men only like big breasts. After the operation, my chances of getting married will be much higher. I believe I will find a better job than now. "
- "In essence, the left breast is larger than the right breast. This is very ugly. It is difficult for me to choose underwear, and it is embarrassing to take off my clothes in front of my loved ones. "
These are just the most popular answers. According to this study, the average age of women who see plastic surgeons is declining. Almost half of the patients are young women under the age of 25. Interestingly, about 3% of respondents are girls under 20 years old. Why mammoplasty is needed at such a young age is a mystery. After all, the breasts are still growing at this time, and they are likely to have the desired volume and shape.
Medical reasons for breast augmentation
- Improve breast shape after losing weight too fast. The chest droops, shrinks in size, and unsightly stretch marks appear on the skin. Silicone implants give the breasts a beautiful shape, making them firm and plump.
- During pregnancy, due to hormonal changes in the body, the breasts are significantly enlarged, but after breastfeeding, the opposite is true, and the breasts are "deflated" sharply. Mammoplasty 1 to 1. 5 years after delivery can help restore the breast to its previous shape.
- Due to the destruction of the hormonal system, breasts may not grow at all or may not form properly. In these cases, mammoplasty is recommended.
- The loss of one or both breasts may be due to a mastectomy (complete removal of the breast). Angelina Jolie decided to undergo mastectomy due to the high risk of cancer, and she can serve as a prominent example. All breast tissue was removed to the actress and implants were installed. The only reminder of this is the small scar under the breast. Undoubtedly, the two operations did not cause any negative effects on her appearance and career.
When is mammoplasty strictly contraindicated?
- The breasts are not fully formed yet. The optimal age for surgery is 18 to 50 years.
- You have breast disease. Surgery can cause serious complications.
- You have too little subcutaneous fat.
- The ribs are severely deformed and scarred.
- The breast doctor and surgeon gave a negative conclusion on your examination results. If an expert rejects you, there are serious reasons for this. In any case, there is no need to find another plastic surgeon.
