Not all young women, girls, and ladies who reach middle age are satisfied with the shape of their breasts; many of them complain about the loss of their original shape and elasticity.
Breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a minimally invasive procedure in which the soft tissue remains intact. This is a real possibility of adjustment to one size to give the bust a natural attractiveness. The injections are carried out under local anesthesia, and the positive result lasts temporarily.
How to enlarge breasts with hyaluronic acid
For cosmetic purposes, hyaluronic acid has been used for breast growth for more than 10 years. This is an artificial drug, but is recognized as the safest and highest quality substance that helps eliminate cosmetic imperfections on a woman’s body.
Its formula completely coincides with the natural substance formed in the human body. As a rule, its administration does not cause allergic reactions and does not have a negative impact on health; there are practically no cases of rejection.
It has a viscous structure, due to which, when fillers are introduced under the skin, it reliably fills existing voids in the deep layers of the dermis and remains there for some time, optimizing the processes occurring inside the muscles.
Breast enlargement using this remedy is based on the fact that an acid molecule is able to attract and subsequently retain hundreds of water molecules around itself.
In addition, the ability of hyaluronic acid to activate fibroblasts, which are responsible for the renewal of collagen fibers, has been established. Thanks to this, after the procedure of introducing acid into the mammary gland, the elasticity of the skin increases and its tone increases. After some time, the process of its decomposition occurs, and the substances that enlarge the breasts disintegrate and are eliminated by the lymph flow.
The second option is injection
Due to the pain of implantation and the possibility of its rejection by the body, plastic surgeons have been looking for a safe alternative for a long time. As a result, a new method of breast enlargement with injections was developed. The injection was hyaluronic acid. It is an integral part of the human body, so the likelihood of rejection is reduced to zero. The acid is added to various cosmetic preparations and is also used to enlarge lips, mammary glands, smooth out wrinkles, etc.
Hyaluronic acid is found in the skin, bone marrow and joint fluid. Its main task is to retain water molecules. Every year, its amount in the body constantly decreases, due to which it loses fluid and starts the aging process.
Hyaluronic acid in plastic surgery is used in combination with a special gel. The concentration of the substance in the gel depends on its purpose. The drug was called "Macrolane". Compared to sensational implants, hyaluronic acid has a number of advantages:
- it is less expensive than implanting a prosthesis;
- There is no need to prepare in advance for breast enlargement with injections;
- the procedure is less painful and lasts no more than 45 minutes;
- Breasts enlarged with injections look more natural and become firmer.
But it’s worth highlighting a few nuances:
- Hyaluronic acid, as a part of the body, has a tendency to be absorbed, so breast augmentation with injections creates an effect for no more than 1 year, after which it is necessary to re-administer the drug.
- The injection method is suitable for minor correction of breast shape or increasing it by no more than 1-1.5 sizes.
Procedure
Only specialists who have official confirmation of education (diploma, license or standard certificate) are allowed to carry out the injection correction process using hyaluronic acid.
Breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid can take about 1-1.5 hours. Before injections, antiseptic treatment of the skin and local anesthesia are performed. The drug is injected under the fascia of the chest. In some cases, it is more appropriate to introduce it in the area of the anterior axillary line. A micro-incision is made on the skin (approximately 2 mm), and after the acid injection procedure, its edges are fixed with a single suture.
The required amount of the drug is determined at the time of the procedure.
The cosmetologist, after visual inspection and palpation, can correct its introduction. The final result in women who have had breast augmentation with hyaluron can only be assessed at the end of the rehabilitation period. This time is approximately 2-3 weeks after the procedure. The general period of preservation of the results from the procedure is 1-1.5 years.
Preparation and technology
Ultrasound of the mammary glands is performed 2 weeks before the procedure
Before breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid-based preparations, you must undergo a medical examination. Two weeks before the expected date, the following diagnostic measures are prescribed:
- General and biochemical analysis of blood and urine;
- biochemistry and coagulogram;
- Ultrasound examination of the mammary glands (US) and ECG.
A woman should also consult a therapist and endocrinologist.
A few days before the expected date of the cosmetic procedure, you should not drink alcoholic beverages; taking medications must be agreed with your doctor. On the appointed day, you must take a shower in the morning and then do not apply any cosmetics to the skin.
The procedure must be carried out by a qualified specialist with medical education and extensive experience.
The algorithm for administering hyaluronic acid is as follows:
- The skin is treated with antiseptics and a local anesthetic is applied. During the entire procedure, the woman is conscious, but does not feel pain when the drug is administered.
- Microscopic incisions of 2 mm in size are made on the skin.
- A corrective drug containing hyaluronic acid is slowly injected through the punctures.
- Upon completion, the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic solution.
- The incisions are fixed with a single suture.
The number of fillers is determined directly during the procedure. The maximum volume that can be injected into one breast should not exceed 300-350 ml, the minimum is 100 ml.
The drugs can be administered in different ways - under the large muscle that is located in the mammary gland, or directly under the breast.
Postoperative breast care
This procedure of mammary gland enlargement using injections does not require long rehabilitation time. The patient can soon return to her daily life.
But, despite the slight invasiveness, the injections require some post-operative rehabilitation measures. This period can last up to 3 weeks depending on the individual characteristics of the patient.
To avoid complications, it is recommended to avoid visiting steam rooms and saunas during the rehabilitation period. Also, doctors do not advise staying in a solarium or in swimming pool water. It is necessary to minimize any physical activity. To speed up the healing of micro-incision sites, for the introduction of filler, these areas of skin are treated with antiseptic agents.
To speed up the rehabilitation process, you should not wear too tight clothes, including a bra, on your chest during the postoperative period. It is not recommended to use clothing made from synthetic fabrics. Doctors recommend that patients who have undergone breast augmentation using this technology sleep on their backs so as not to compress the pectoral muscles during sleep. To support the mammary glands during the rehabilitation period, you should purchase a special bra that carefully supports the breasts.
The essence of the Botox breast enlargement technique
Before embarking on a breast enlargement procedure with Botox, every representative of the fairer sex should understand that injections are not capable of rounding the shape by several sizes. The drug is used to emphasize the breasts, not to enlarge them.
The essence of the procedure is to tone muscle tissue. Despite the fact that the breasts become more voluminous and toned, this does not affect their sensitivity in any way. Breast augmentation with Botox is an affordable procedure. All these signs influenced the demand for the method.
Botox is a neurotoxin that can block nerve impulses in muscle tissue. By weakening one muscle group and strengthening another, the desired effect is achieved.
Existing contraindications
Breast augmentation with injections using hyaluronic acid is prescribed to patients who have no health problems. It is not recommended to carry out such an intervention for women with the following pathologies and body characteristics:
- presence of cancer (at any stage of the disease),
- during the period of exacerbation of chronic diseases of internal organs,
- throughout the entire period of pregnancy,
- while feeding the baby with breast milk,
- presence of autoimmune diseases,
- diabetes,
- inflammatory processes of the skin, including the presence of rashes on the body.
Before deciding whether it is possible to perform breast augmentation surgery using hyaluronic acid, the doctor takes into account other relative contraindications. Although they do not pose a threat to a woman’s health, the result of the procedure will be minimal:
- too obvious prolapse of the mammary glands,
- lack of elasticity of the skin,
- menstruation period,
- the patient's desire to become pregnant in the near future,
- breasts larger than bra cup size 3,
A female breast augmentation procedure is not performed if the patient plans to enlarge it by more than 1 size.
The first option is an implant
Implantation of prostheses is the most common method of breast augmentation through surgery. They provide a beautiful shape for a long period (more than 2 years), require correction only after the expiration date of the implants themselves, do not require replacement of the filler and allow you to enlarge the breasts by 2-3 sizes.
There are two types of prostheses: with silicone filler and with saline solution. Both options have both similarities and differences.
An implant made from saline solution – a physiological sterile solution of sodium chloride (popularly known as table salt) – is considered more affordable. It is very popular in the United States of America. Its advantage is not only its relatively low cost, but also its safe effect on the body if the prosthesis suddenly ruptures. However, using saline solution is not without its drawbacks. In the implant, the sodium chloride solution flows absolutely freely, which often leads to the appearance of an unsightly groove on the chest.
Silicone filler wins in this case. Its consistency is thicker, thanks to which the shape of the mammary glands is held more confidently. Silicone-filled dentures are made in various shapes. Recent developments make it possible to create silicone implants with a roughness, due to which the prosthesis grows into the breast tissue. This technique allows you to secure the implant, protecting the patient from its rotation and movement. Accordingly, the price of a prosthesis with silicone filler is several times higher, and not everyone can afford it.
Complications and side effects
As a rule, the surgical procedure for breast augmentation with hyaluronate takes place without subsequent complications or side effects. But in the first two days after correction, moderate pain, swelling and blue discoloration of the skin at the incision sites may be observed. In rare cases, there is a slight increase in body temperature.
Only some women may experience more serious complications after such a procedure. Due to the individual structure of the pectoral muscles, the injected acid sometimes spreads. The gel migrates in the intermuscular space, leading to asymmetry.
If the established technology was violated when introducing acid, this can lead to inflammatory reactions on the body and even to the development of necrosis.
Indications for use
Breast augmentation with fillers, despite the safety of the method, is carried out for certain indications. Before correction, it is necessary to make a thorough diagnosis. This method is recommended:
- with pronounced asymmetry;
- if it is necessary to increase the glands by one size;
- for correction of previously installed implants;
- with genetic underdevelopment of the organ.
After consulting a specialist and in the absence of contraindications, a woman can use breast fillers.
Popularity of the procedure
Statistics show that women turn to contouring after 45 years. However, men do not avoid her either. True, the age threshold for representatives of the stronger sex has been slightly raised. Men resort to plastic surgery only after 55 years. And the percentage of people who have tried this rejuvenation technique on themselves has been growing in recent years. After all, contour plastic surgery is not a surgical intervention, which scares many. In addition, the effect of these two procedures is almost identical.
Effect of the gel and features of injection
The process of introducing a substance in most cases does not imply preliminary tests, placement of the patient in a hospital for inpatient treatment, long rehabilitation time, and does not cause poisoning of the body.
A significant percentage of people choose this particular procedure in order to slightly correct their figure. When choosing this method of correction, you do not need to worry about the appearance after the injection of the drug, since the body will take on an exclusively natural appearance and no medical intervention will be noticeable. However, there are still some contraindications to the administration of the medicine. This is mainly the presence of oncological formations, dermatological infections in the correction zone, protracted diseases during the period of exacerbation.
Do not forget that it is the doctor who must approve the decision to carry out the procedure, and not the arbitrary desire of the person himself. The patient is given local anesthesia and macroline filler is injected into the targeted area using a special needle (cannula). The gel should be introduced closer to the bone so that it gets into the area between it and the cover of subcutaneous fatty tissue. A “fan-shaped” cannula technology is possible, but this method is used only when absolutely necessary.
The procedure lasts 15-40 minutes. The amount of gel is determined only by the doctor himself during a preliminary examination of the patient. It is permissible to change the amount of the substance if the doctor evaluates the visible result. But auxiliary adjustment is possible only 2 weeks after 1 operation. The puncture site is treated with an anti-allergic reaction agent, and the patient can leave the operating room 2 hours after the operation.
Medical monitoring will be needed only in the case of correction of the buttocks, if it is necessary to remove the stitches a week and a half after the operation. The final effect will be strengthened only after 14 days.
After the operation, you will need a short rehabilitation period, during which you should:
- reduce physiological stress;
- refrain from going to the steam room, and also not visit the solarium;
- eliminate the impact on the adjustment area: do not fall asleep on your stomach while the process is being carried out
- on the chest, and also do not sit or sleep on your back when surgery was performed on the buttocks.
Injection technology does not require labor-intensive preparation. The initial stage involves a visit to a cosmetologist to determine whether or not the procedure is necessary, as well as to exclude possible contraindications. 7 days before surgery, you should refrain from any use of medications and foods that affect blood thickening. Just before the procedure itself, you should perform hygienic operations, and also be sure to refrain from alcohol and smoking.
The concept of Macroline and its advantage
Macroline gel is produced by the Swedish company Q-Med, which has been rapidly using the drug in the surgical industry since 2002. Macroline received positive reviews and gained popularity, since after the procedure there are no side effects or pain. The wide popularity of the drug is due to the fact that, according to the formula, it is quite similar to sodium hyaluronate, which is produced by the human body.
The effect of the medical substance is determined by the filling of the hollow areas of skin cells. It is in this way that a rapid increase in breast size occurs. Therefore, enlargement of female mammary glands with the help of this substance has gained recognition in medicine. Today, you can do without a painful operation, and the medical drug macroline and its effect on the breasts, correction of the buttocks, and facelift will provide 100% results and rapid recovery of the body. The use of hyaluronic filler is recommended for females with minor imperfections or bust asymmetry.
However, despite the ease of the procedure, it is necessary to initially consider the advantages and disadvantages of the body correction process. Please note that 1 g of the substance has a high cost, and for breast enlargement surgery, for example, you will need approximately 300 g of the drug. The bust enlargement process usually takes no more than an hour, and no preparation is required before the operation. The recovery period does not last long, and the swelling after administration of the drug will disappear without a trace after a couple of days.
Thus, we can highlight the corresponding advantages of injecting this particular Swedish brand gel:
- correction of unwanted body deformations;
- elimination of inconsistencies and uneven breasts;
- improvement of tissue condition;
- quick return to normal life;
- There are no scars after the procedure.
Indeed, the gel has a beneficial effect on human skin, as it activates the production of collagen, increases the flexibility of materials and restores their hydrophytic balance. In addition, the medical product is administered using a special needle, as a result of which there are no traces of the operation on the skin, except for the puncture, which disappears soon after the introduction of the hyaluronic substance.
Composition and labeling of the gel
Macrolane is an injectable biological gel based on non-animal hyaluronic acid. This acid is entirely responsible for the hyaluronic substance, which is produced by the body and makes up part of the tissues of the young body. Age has a great influence on the reduction and content of its synthesis in the body. For this reason, the skin and underlying tissues become increasingly dry over time.
Macroline VRF 30 . A basic preparation that is used for in-depth penetration into areas with significant tissue density. It is used directly for breast enlargement.
Macroline VRF 20 . A less compacted gel, which is not injected deeply, but only superficially. As a rule, this brand is used as an addition to the main drug to smooth out the relief of the skin.
VRF stands for Volume Restoration Factor in English, which means an indicator of volume restoration. In this case, the higher the volume, the more significantly the targeted area of the body is increased.
