Mammoplasty is considered one of the most popular plastic surgeries in the world. Why do women do this? It is difficult to give an unequivocal answer to this question. Some believe that nature does not reward them with a sufficiently watery bust, while others want to quickly regain their former shape after birth and breastfeeding.
German scientists recently conducted a survey of patients in cosmetic surgery clinics to find out the main reasons that force women to operate without fear.
- "I am a mother of three children and I have breastfed them all. As a result, my breasts became very swollen and the skin on them stretched. "
- "I've been very fat since I was a child, and now I'm finally losing weight. Although I was on a diet for a long time, I didn't have time to exercise. So my breasts were as ugly as they were. "
- "A few years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My right breast was removed. I don't like an inclusive prosthesis. I want to be a real woman. "
- "My breasts are very small, so they always made fun of me at school. I still feel insecure as a little girl, and that's why I have big problems in my personal life. I know that when I grow up, everything will change. "
- "This is my last hope to have beautiful, firm breasts. For a long time I tortured myself, did special exercises and even took pills, but everything was useless. The operation is better. "
- "Men just love big breasts. I will have a better chance of a successful marriage after the operation. I'm sure I will find a better job than I do now. "
- "By nature, the left breast is bigger than the right. It's very ugly. It's hard for me to choose underwear, and I'm ashamed to undress in front of someone I love. "
These are just the most popular answers. According to research, the average age of women seeking plastic surgery is steadily declining. Almost half of the patients are young women under 25 years of age. Interestingly, about 3% of respondents are girls under 20 years old. Why mammoplasty is needed at such a young age remains a mystery. After all, at this time the breast is still growing and can get any size and shape well.
Medical causes of breast augmentation
- Improving the shape of the mammary glands after losing weight very quickly. The chest sags, the volume decreases, ugly stretch marks appear on the skin. Silicone implants give the breast a beautiful shape, making it firm and plump.
- Due to hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy, the breasts increase significantly, and after breastfeeding, on the contrary, are sharply "turned off". Mammoplasty performed 1-1, 5 years after birth helps to restore the previous shape of the breasts.
- As a result of hormonal disorders, the breast may not grow or form properly. In these cases, mammoplasty is recommended.
- Absence of one or both breasts may be due to mastectomy (complete removal of the breast). Angelina Jolie, who decided to have a mastectomy because of the high risk of cancer, can be cited as a clear example. All of the actress' breast tissue was removed and implants were placed. The only thing that reminds me of this is the small scars under the breasts. Of course, both operations did not affect his appearance and career.
When is mammoplasty a definite contraindication?
- The breasts are not yet fully formed. The optimal age for surgery is 18 to 50 years.
- You suffer from breast diseases. Surgery can cause serious complications.
- You have very little subcutaneous fat.
- The rib cage is severely deformed and has scars.
- The mammologist and surgeon gave a negative opinion on the results of your examination. If an expert refuses you, then there is a good reason. There is no need to look for another plastic surgeon.
