Indications
Breast lift is indicated in the following cases:
- significant sagging of the nipple, accompanied by displacement of the areola below the inframammary fold
- the appearance of stretch marks on the skin of the chest
- degradation of the glandular tissues of the mammary glands and their replacement with fatty tissues, which have less elasticity
- sprain of the mammary glands during breastfeeding
- breast asymmetry
- disproportion between the area of the skin of the mammary glands and their volume
Preparing for surgery
Preparation for mastopexy begins with a preliminary consultation with a plastic surgeon. The specialist gets acquainted with the patient’s wishes, clarifies the health characteristics and conducts an external examination.
Usually, to exclude contraindications and properly plan the upcoming operation, the doctor prescribes a series of blood and urine tests, as well as mammography and ECG. If necessary, additional tests may be required, as well as visits to specialized specialists, such as a mammologist and an anesthesiologist. You can undergo all these examinations at the medical office.
City Clinical Hospital No. 5
The Plastic Surgery Center has been operating at the City Clinical Hospital No. 5 for the last few years. Here, both corrective procedures are carried out for people seeking to get rid of minor (including age-related) deficiencies, and for those who need much more serious surgical care - including reconstruction of lost tissue. The cost of breast surgery at the Center starts from 50,000 rubles, depending on the technique and complexity of the surgical intervention. The cost of breast augmentation (including implants, hospital stay after surgery, etc.) at the Center averages 145,000 rubles.
Reception at the Center is conducted by Valovoy Kirill Gennadievich - a doctor of the first qualification category, a plastic surgeon, a highly qualified specialist, with extensive experience and constant scientific and educational activities.
Progress of the operation
Mastopexy is based on returning the nipples and areolas to their natural position by removing excess stretched skin and fixing the mammary glands to the pectoral muscles. A breast lift is performed in a hospital setting. Before the operation, the surgeon places markings on the body indicating the new location of the nipple, as well as the incision lines.
In most cases, about 1-3 incisions are made in the area of each gland. The specialist cuts out excess skin and fixes each mammary gland in an elevated position by suturing it to the underlying pectoral muscle. Upon completion of the operation, the incisions are closed and sutures are applied.
The operation usually lasts 2-3 hours. To ensure patient comfort, mastopexy is performed under general anesthesia.
Breast augmentation in Tyumen
The correct name for plastic surgery for breast augmentation is breast replacement . “Endo” means internal, “prosthesis” is an artificial part of the body, and “mammary gland” is the scientific name for the female breast.

Breast augmentation
When a woman goes to a plastic surgery clinic with a desire to enlarge her breasts, we can only talk about endoprosthetics. Medicine does not yet know any other ways to enlarge breasts. Of course, the Dog Hair Belt Corporation is always ready to offer women magic pills, vacuum massagers, and even myostimulators for building breast muscles, although autopsies regularly show that there is no muscle tissue in the mammary gland.
In general, the obsession to find some kind of alternative to endoprosthetics has haunted doctors for many years. It happened that gel or fat was injected into the breasts by injection, but the gel began to migrate throughout the body, and the fat caused inflammation, which had to be removed, sometimes along with the mammary gland.
Today, the only recognized method of breast enlargement in plastic surgery is prosthetics.
The prosthesis is a round bag consisting of a shell and a filler. The shell is made of silicone plastic, and the filler can be silicone gel - a viscous jelly-like substance, or saline solution (0.9% salt solution in distilled water).
The debate on the topic “Which filler is better” has been going on for a long time and has not stopped to this day. Saline solution has one main advantage - it is not alien to the human body, because two-thirds of the human body is salt water. If a hole or leak occurs in the implant shell, the saline solution will flow out and be absorbed by the body without any problems. True, in this case the breasts will become flat and the patient will have to undergo a new operation to install another implant.
Such problems are completely eliminated with silicone implants, and especially with silicone cohesive implants, which are filled with a substance whose consistency resembles hard jelly. If a small hole develops in the shell of such an implant, the solid gel will retain its shape and remain in place.
In addition, silicone implants feel much more natural to the touch. They are soft and very similar to glandular tissue, while saline implants are essentially a bag filled with water. They can only be round and often create the effect of “unnatural breasts”. The consistency of silicone implants allows you to create a variety of shapes. Several years ago, to the delight of many women, teardrop-shaped implants began to be produced that are close to the natural shape of the breast. Most of their mass is shifted downwards, and the top of the chest is not so rounded.
However, the advisability of using silicone currently remains the subject of intense debate. In the 90s, a loud scandal broke out in America: one lady found a tumor in her breast and demanded compensation. Television and newspapers joined in, and there were sensational reports about female victims. And silicone was banned in the USA.
Most surgeons today are skeptical about this fact. The connection between silicone and the formation of a malignant tumor has not yet been scientifically confirmed, and from time to time articles appear in the press that the use of silicone in America may again be allowed.
The surgical technique varies slightly regardless of the implant filler. The implant is placed into the breast through small incisions that may be located
1) in the natural fold under the breast (submammary approach) 2) in the armpit area 3) around the nipple areola (periareolar) 4) in the navel area (for rolled-up empty implants filled with saline solution)
However, statistics show that most surgeons prefer to make a suture under the breast - it is considered the safest and most reliable, but leaves a rather large scar, which is easy to detect if desired.
And a few words about the complications of this operation . The human body always produces scar tissue around foreign material, be it a thread, a breast implant, an artificial hip, or a bullet. One of the problems with breast augmentation surgery is that the scar, which forms a sheath of connective tissue, can sometimes be too thick and fibrous capsules can form around the implant, making the breast abnormally firm to the touch.
As they say in advertising articles about breast augmentation, “fortunately”, textured silicone implants are now available.
These are implants covered with microscopic villi of a certain size. The villi create a transition zone from body tissue to the prosthesis and prevent the formation of fibrous capsules. All articles Addresses and telephone numbers of clinics
Rehabilitation
The effects of a breast lift are usually noticeable immediately after surgery. As a rule, nipple sensitivity does not decrease. However, if it has decreased, it may take up to 3 months for it to fully recover. A high-quality mastopexy ensures that the scars are less noticeable; they gradually become thinner and fade.
After the operation, you will need to spend about a day in the hospital. During the first week, you must visit the medical center every day to change dressings and monitor the recovery of the body. From the second week, you can return to your normal rhythm of life with minor temporary restrictions on physical activity and types of recreation.

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy
Many women who have lost their breasts after cancer experience enormous stress due to this. Often this fact sounds like a death sentence for them. They lose the opportunity to wear their favorite clothes, relax on the beach, or go to the pool. The difficulties that arise in relationships with representatives of the opposite sex finally force women to withdraw into themselves, giving up many of the joys that life can give. But, no matter how sad the situation may seem from the outside, in fact there is a way out, and this is breast restoration using plastic surgery.
Photo requirements
Breast reconstruction surgery after removal of the mammary gland is much easier for patients to tolerate than a mastectomy, both physically and mentally. The breast itself is restored, the nipple and areola are recreated, postoperative scars are corrected, and chest wall defects are replaced.
Plastic Surgery Center has extensive experience in performing these operations, amounting to about twenty years. This type of operation can be performed using different technologies.
A flap of skin is taken from a certain area of the back directly with muscle and fatty tissue. It is transferred to the chest (the front part of it) to where the mammary gland was removed. The implant is placed directly under this flap. In this way, the volume of the breast is recreated, and the formation of the gland occurs. The nipple is made from local tissues. The areola is recreated either from the healthy areola of the other breast, or from the skin of the labia minora (pigmented skin), or it is recreated through tattooing. The area around the breast is formed using lipoplasty , i.e. injection of your own fat under the skin. This method of restoration is called “LD flap plastic surgery.”
If necessary, the second breast (volume, shape) and scars are corrected. Breast reconstruction is only possible one year after completion of any type of treatment (breast removal surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy).
The full recovery period after breast reconstruction surgery is a year or more. During this time, the tissue takes root and scars, and recovery occurs. Sutures are removed 3-4 weeks after surgery. Then the treatment of scars .
Breast reconstruction includes the following processes:
- installation of a prosthesis,
- creation of a flap from spinal tissue,
- the nipple is formed,
- the areola is formed,
— the scar on the chest wall, as well as in the armpit area, is corrected,
— lipoplasty of the area around the breast.
In addition, breast reconstruction is possible without plastic surgery with an LD flap. For this, an expander and the patient’s own fat are used. By transplanting fat tissue over several procedures, the required shape and volume of the breast is formed. If necessary, correction of the second breast is performed. As a result, the breasts are as natural and beautiful as possible.
It is very important, if the patient smokes,
to quit smoking 2 months before the operation, as it causes tissue necrosis.
