Indications for breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which is suitable for some specific situations. Breast augmentation surgery can change the shape and size of the breast to help patients achieve a better appearance. However, not everyone is suitable for breast augmentation surgery, and there are certain indications. The indications of breast augmentation surgery will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Breast dysplasia
Breast dysplasia refers to the failure of the breast to reach the normal size and shape during the puberty development, which makes the breast size inconsistent with the body type or incomplete in shape. This situation usually affects women's self-confidence and appearance satisfaction. Breast augmentation surgery can increase the size and fullness of the breast by implanting breast implants, making the breast and body proportion more coordinated, thus improving the self-confidence and appearance satisfaction of patients.
However, before considering breast augmentation surgery, doctors usually assess the patient's physical development and breast development potential. If the patient's body shape and breast development are still within the normal range, the doctor may advise the patient to wait for the breast development to mature, so as to avoid the interference of surgery on normal development.
2. Breast atrophy
Breast atrophy refers to the severe reduction of breast volume over a period of time, usually after the patient has experienced multiple breast-feeding or weight loss. Breast atrophy not only affects the appearance, but also brings psychological burden and inferiority to women. If atrophy seriously affects the quality of life of patients, breast augmentation surgery can be a feasible solution.
Before breast augmentation surgery, doctors usually make a detailed assessment and examination to determine the cause of breast atrophy. If the cause is a health-related problem, such as breast disease, the doctor may recommend that the patient be treated before surgery. Only when the patient is healthy and stable, and has reasonable expectations for surgery, doctors will consider breast augmentation surgery.
3. Abnormal breast shape
Abnormal breast morphology includes breast ptosis, breast asymmetry, etc. These problems often cause problems and dissatisfaction to women. Breast augmentation surgery can improve the shape of the breast by adjusting the breast tissue and implanting breast implants to make it more uniform, plump and straight.
However, when evaluating patients with abnormal breast morphology, doctors will comprehensively consider a variety of factors, such as the degree of breast ptosis, breast symmetry and skin elasticity. If the breast abnormality is caused by breast ptosis and skin relaxation, breast lifting surgery and removal of excess skin may be required, rather than just breast augmentation surgery.
4. Breast reconstruction
Breast reconstruction refers to the restoration of breast shape and function through surgery for patients lacking breast or breast tissue damage. Breast reconstruction can not only improve the appearance of patients, but also reduce the psychological pressure of patients due to lack of breast or breast injury to a certain extent.
Patients with breast reconstruction usually include patients with mastectomy after breast cancer surgery and patients with congenital absence of breast. The specific scheme and technology of breast reconstruction surgery will vary according to the specific conditions of patients. At present, breast reconstruction surgery has been relatively mature in some large general hospitals and plastic surgery hospitals, with a high success rate.
Summary
The indications of breast augmentation surgery include breast dysplasia, breast atrophy, breast morphological abnormalities and breast reconstruction. For patients who meet the indications, breast augmentation surgery can improve the size, shape and symmetry of the breast, and enhance the self-confidence and appearance satisfaction of patients. However, before considering breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks and effects of surgery in detail and ensure their own health and stability.
