Changeable - at one time large breasts were in fashion, in other periods of history women hid their breasts in every possible way, trying to make them as flat as possible. Nowadays individuality is in fashion, but most people have a certain ideal in their minds, part of which is very voluminous, beautiful breasts of the correct shape.

Nature has not given everyone the desired shape, which is why silicone breasts are a very popular plastic surgery service. At the same time, there are many myths about silicone breasts that continue to multiply on social networks and even serious magazines. Let's try to figure out how things really stand with breast plastic surgery, and whether it is worth getting silicone breasts...

1. Rehabilitation after breast surgery is long and painful

Rehabilitation after surgery means 30 days of wearing special elastic underwear. Soreness may be present during the first few days after surgery due to the trauma of surgery. As after any operation, pain occurs, which is relieved with analgesics.

2. After breast surgery, noticeable scars remain

Today, breast surgery is the most well-established operation in plastic surgery. When installing a silicone implant, only cosmetic scars remain, which can be located in several places: along the areola line, in the folds under the breasts, or in the armpit area.

The length of the scar is standard, since the size must be such as not to deform the implant and so that its filling remains intact. The size of the access is usually 4-5 cm, no matter where it is located. Within 10-12 months it becomes almost invisible if the technology is followed. There are countless photographs of silicone breasts on the Internet, which clearly show how difficult it is to notice traces of plastic surgery.

3. Silicone breasts lose sensitivity

Many people have a different opinion and explain this by the fact that after the operation the skin spreads over the implant, accordingly the number of tactile receptors increases, and therefore sensitivity increases.

4. You can't breastfeed with implants.

Can. Modern technology suggests installation under the pectoralis major muscle, which is located below the mammary gland. Implants have nothing to do with its functioning at all. The implant only changes the shape and size of the breast.

5. Silicone breasts often look unnatural

If you have chosen the correct size of implants, and the clinic has installed them correctly and followed the technology, then everything will look beautiful. Moreover, with modern anatomical implants, an absolutely natural shape of the mammary gland is obtained.

6. Over time, implants can sag or deteriorate.

Implants cannot deteriorate because the shelf life of silicone is longer than the duration of human life. As for sagging, if the implant is selected and installed correctly, then you don’t have to worry about breast sagging. If it is installed under the skin or under the gland and is of a large size, heavy for this breast, then, of course, the soft tissues can stretch and then the shape will not be so beautiful.

7. Silicone implants need to be replaced after 7-10 years

There is a study that included more than 150,000 women, followed them for more than 10 years after breast augmentation surgery, and over 97% of them were satisfied with their decision to enlarge their breasts. Silicone implants are replaced in cases where a woman decides to change their size or when an injury occurs that compromises the integrity of the implant.

8. Silicone breasts can burst on a plane.

Many celebrities and ordinary women with silicone breasts regularly fly by plane, thereby clearly proving that it is possible to fly. Nothing happens to implants either on an airplane or under water.

9. Breasts can freeze in the cold

Some people believe that in winter, silicone breasts can freeze and turn into a piece of ice. Theoretically, a silicone implant can freeze in the cold and harden, but only this will require such a low temperature that it will first freeze the owner of the breast to death.

10. After breast surgery, you can’t go to the sauna.

Another myth is the fear that the high temperature of a sauna can heat up the silicone in the breast to the point of destroying the implant! The melting point of silicone is approximately 200 degrees, and the temperature in the hottest sauna is no more than 100-130 degrees. However, your body temperature will never be even close to these numbers.

Although doctors do not recommend visiting a sauna with silicone breasts. The fact is that silicone, unlike the human body, changes temperature longer. When you leave the sauna, your body temperature will return to normal within a few minutes, but the silicone will take much longer to cool down, which can cause discomfort.

11. After breast surgery, you should not sleep on your stomach.

Immediately after the operation you cannot, but after a couple of months you will be able to sleep in any comfortable position.

12. After losing weight, implants look unnatural and breasts sag

The implant is installed under the muscle, so when you lose or gain weight, the shape remains constant. In addition, women with curvy figures rarely resort to breast augmentation.
Therefore, you should not be afraid of breast surgery, the main thing is to know why to do it. Before you make a decision, think about whether you are ready to deal a blow to your health at your own expense and sew two foreign objects into yourself? will not make you happier, but will only bring your shape closer to the notorious standards of beauty.

There are many examples around when girls with small breasts feel confident in this world. For example, how many mocking and offensive comments were written about her for her small breasts, but she is still pleased with herself and successful in life.

Today, many girls get silicone implants. Read expert advice on how safe they are, how they affect childbirth and breastfeeding!

For a long time, the main female weapon has always been external attractiveness. Well, perhaps the most formidable “type of weapon” is the female breast. It is she who attracts the admiring glances of men and causes the envy of women. Therefore, women who have not been blessed by nature with a full bust, seek to correct this misunderstanding by making silicone implants. How are such plastic surgeries performed and how safe are silicone breasts?

Silicone implants - first operations

The first breast augmentation operations with silicone implants were performed in the early 60s of the last century. Today, more than 2 million women around the world have had silicone breasts. At the moment, breast augmentation is one of the most popular and frequently performed plastic surgeries.

What are silicone breasts made of?

Several types of silicone implants of various shapes and sizes are used for breast enlargement. Usually spherical, round and drop-shaped are used. The choice of shape is made by the doctor, taking into account the patient’s breast size and her wishes.

Implants are made of silicone, and saline or silicone gel can be used as a filler. The best endoprostheses are made from cohesive silicone gel; it has a “memory effect” and always retains its given shape and does not spread when cut. When palpating a silicone breast, such a prosthesis accurately imitates the mammary gland.

There are several options for implantation, which determines the shape of the silicone breast. They are placed under the mammary gland or under the muscle (submuscular or subpectoral). The first two methods will make silicone breasts look most natural. And the installation itself takes place through incisions in the fold under the breast, along the edge of the areola or through the armpit.

Silicone implants - terms and warranty

All women interested in breast augmentation are concerned with the question of how long silicone breasts are made. Modern, high-quality endoprostheses do not enter into biochemical reactions with surrounding tissues. Therefore, good manufacturers provide a lifetime warranty on implants. And there is no need for repeated operations, silicone breasts will last you throughout your life. The only danger is mechanical chafing in the folds of the shell, but this phenomenon is very rare.

Recovery after surgery lasts 3-4 weeks, during which you need to wear special underwear and limit physical exercise.

After this, a woman who has had silicone breasts can safely go to the gym, sauna, swim in the pool, etc.

How safe are silicone implants?

The idea that breast augmentation surgery is a dangerous procedure did not arise by chance. In the 1980s, the first evidence emerged that silicone breasts could pose a health risk.

Pregnancy and childbirth with implants

Many women agree to surgery after having children so as not to have to feed the baby after plastic surgery. They worry about possible changes to their breasts after having a baby.

According to practicing surgeons, high-quality breast prosthetics does not interfere with childbirth. The main thing is that the incision is located under the mammary gland. The silicone used does not penetrate milk, and therefore implants do not pose a danger to a newborn.

There is a possibility that the skin will sag after breastfeeding due to an increase in bust size. To prevent this, it is recommended to wear supportive underwear. In addition, you need to moisturize your skin often. After weaning a baby, women sometimes need to have a lift.

How much do silicone implants cost?

The cost of implants depends on the shape of the breast, filling and brand. The cost of services for installing implants in 2019 starts from 15,000 rubles. Depending on the complexity of the operation, the cost can be increased to 28,000. The patient will have to pay extra for a one-day hospital stay at the clinic.

The Internet is full of photographs of women's busts enlarged with the help of implants. These pictures are tempting and inspire many ladies to undergo plastic surgery for breast augmentation.

I am not against such an operation. Not abstractly, not against it from the outside, but I went through it myself.

The other day I came across photographs of breasts from which the implants had been removed.

This is what Sarah's silicone breasts looked like:

Big, beautiful, sexy. The girl decided to remove the implants and return the breasts that nature had endowed her with.

Many surgeons will tell you that modern implants are so high quality that you can live with them your whole life.

This is very unlikely. It is no coincidence that American doctors working in the most expensive and trustworthy clinics will give you a written recommendation to do a breast MRI every 3 years after surgery.

No, not because implants cause cancer, but because they can be damaged during wear, but visually you most likely will not notice this.

Damaged implants must be removed immediately.

Most implants - even the current generation - will require replacement in 7-10 years.

When enlarging your breasts with silicone, you must be aware that the implants, with a high degree of probability, will not last you until the end of your days. You will have to remove them and either install new ones or have a breast lift.

Silicone implants are not a house that you build once and for all. Silicone implants are a car that sooner or later will begin to cause you inconvenience and will require replacement.

The procedure for re-installation of implants, as well as the procedure for their removal followed by a breast lift, are more expensive than the procedure for primary breast augmentation with silicone.

You must clearly understand this, as well as the fact that the scars that you receive after a breast lift, having removed the implants from there, will remain with you for life. If you don’t want scars, get new implants or walk around with stretched and saggy breasts, like those of a hundred-year-old granny.

Classmates

Determination of breast size is carried out according to clearly established parameters and rules. It is important for any woman to know what size of mammary glands nature has awarded her and what advantages her breasts hide behind. Usually, many inexperienced girls determine their data “by eye,” which entails an erroneous choice of underwear and complete disappointment. And only if you have knowledge about this, you can eliminate any troubles and embarrassing situations.

Speaking about girls who naturally have a second breast size, I would like to say that such bust parameters are considered standard; according to statistics, the majority of the female population of the planet has this size.

But, despite these data, many of them are dissatisfied with their volume in the décolleté area and strive in every possible way to increase their bust. To understand how justified such worries and discontent are, it is worth understanding in more detail the advantages and disadvantages of breast size 2.

Initially, to make sure that a woman really has a naturally second bust size, two body circumference measurements are taken:

• girth of the torso under the mammary glands;
• the diameter of the body at the most protruding point of the bust.

Next, you need to subtract the smaller parameter from the larger number, and compare the resulting difference with the dimensional grid data. When performing such body measurements, it is imperative to maintain a straight back and apply the centimeter tightly to the body. For the second breast size, the difference between the above two parameters will be no more than 14-15 cm. Now you can begin to visualize breast size 2 in the photo.

This is what breast size 2 looks like in the photo

Typically, women of different body types have such breasts, not only thin women, but also women of large body constitution. Visually, the second bust size can be associated with fruits such as medium-sized oranges. At a time when the first breast size will not exceed the size of two apples, and the third bust size is comparable to two decent-shaped grapefruits.

Second breast size: pros and cons

The second breast size is considered the most uncertain, since some ladies with such breasts are satisfied with their parameters and consider their breasts to be lush and attractive. For others, this size is insufficient and becomes a reason for complexes.

To dispel unnecessary thoughts, you should simply compare the advantages of such breasts with a large bust:

• The second breast size always has a huge selection of sexy, fashionable underwear.
• A woman with such breasts can afford to wear any style of dresses, T-shirts and blouses with or without a neckline.
• Second-size breasts in any outfit will look elegant and not vulgar.
• This breast size is practically immune to age-related changes and deformation.
• In women over 30 years of age, such a bust does not suffer from sagging skin, the shape and circumference of the mammary glands do not lose their original appearance and look attractive for many years.
• During lactation, breasts of this size will retain their tone and relief, and the woman will not have problems with the spine.
• Small breast size is easier to restore after childbirth and breastfeeding.

Looking at such a large list of advantages of a second breast size, many women will probably reconsider their views on their bust. But it still has several disadvantages:

• compact breasts in dresses with a deep neckline look less appetizing than large breasts;
• The wrong choice of clothing can give a woman with size 2 breasts the appearance of a boyish physique.

There are no other negative aspects of a second breast size, so the opinion that such breasts require enlargement cannot be considered justified.

Increasing the second breast size

It is possible to significantly enlarge size 2 breasts only by.

But only a few women decide to take such a step, since in addition to the high cost, the prospect of carrying a foreign body in oneself appeals to few people.

You can increase your second breast size through physical exercise, an adjusted diet, special care for the mammary glands and through cosmetic preparations.

1. . To ensure that your breasts always look toned, you need to have strong pectoral muscles. To do this, you need to do several exercises, such as push-ups, arm swings, weight lifting and others. As stated in the previous article, you need to perform such workouts three times a week.
2. . The mammary glands and their size are determined by the volume of fatty tissue in them. In addition, a woman’s hormonal background influences breast growth. Therefore, you need to eat foods rich in healthy fats every day. And you can improve your hormonal levels with foods that contain a lot of plant hormones like estrogens.
3. Water treatments and massage. To improve blood flow and nutrition of the mammary glands, you can perform contrast shower procedures and then perform a simple breast massage. These actions perfectly tone and improve the shape and relief of the breasts.
4. Many cosmetic products have been developed for breast growth, which contain plant and natural female hormones, which the woman’s body often lacks.

If you follow all the methods comprehensively, the results will not take long to arrive.

Second breast size: gift or punishment?

Do not think that a second breast size is not attractive enough for the opposite sex. Men value the aesthetic features of the breast much more, namely its elasticity, well-groomed and youthful appearance. A lush bust under its own weight very soon begins to sag and lose its tone and elasticity of the skin. In women with a second breast size, on the contrary, the original shape and relief of the mammary glands is preserved throughout life, emphasizing the miniature and femininity of the lady.

It is not for nothing that small breast size in ancient times was considered a sign of aristocracy and the elite class; many ladies from wealthy pedigrees were specially corseted.

Today, the catwalk of many fashion designers and designers is fragrant with slender beauties with zero, first and second breast sizes. And it’s rare to see a plus-size model here. Therefore, the desire to change and increase the second breast size can be safely considered unfounded and impractical.

It is quite natural for women who are dissatisfied with the appearance and size of their breasts to want to have breasts of the correct shape and attractive volume.

Of course, daily care with high-quality products, various exercises for the décolleté area, and a contrast shower are very useful for the breasts, thanks to which the breast skin will retain its youth and attractive appearance much longer. However, no amount of care can enlarge the breasts, correct pronounced asymmetry, make them firm and restore tone, especially after childbirth. Therefore, regardless of the radicality of the surgical intervention, more and more women are now resorting to plastic surgery services. Naturally, demand creates supply, so the number of aesthetic surgery clinics throughout the country has grown like “mushrooms after the rain.” Most of the operations they perform are mammoplasty or endoprosthetics (correction of the shape or size of the mammary glands).

Of course, “silicone breasts” are accompanied by many myths and legends. Many women who decide to increase their breast size often do not even know all the intricacies of this operation. Breast augmentation surgery is possible for persons over eighteen years of age. Currently, silicone gel (liquid or cohesive) and isotonic sodium chloride solution (saline solution with the consistency of water) are used as fillers for implants. However, this solution can flow inside the implant and form folds. Silicone gel, the so-called cohesive, gives the breasts a natural soft feeling. It has the great advantage of not leaking if a small tear occurs; they are manufactured in an anatomical shape that is stable and does not cause unesthetic grooves.

Implants come in various sizes and shapes: round and teardrop-shaped, symmetrical and asymmetrical, smooth and textured, etc. The most expensive are anatomical (droplet-shaped) implants, which look the most natural, and textured ones, which are believed to “take root” better. Endoprosthesis replacement is carried out using incisions in the armpit, around the areola, and the most popular is the use of an incision in the fold under the mammary gland. After 10 days from the moment of implantation, the sutures are removed, and the scars may have a bright pink tint and sometimes even enlarge when stretched. After 4-6 months, the scars fade and turn into a barely noticeable strip.

Contraindications for breast enlargement surgery are diabetes, bleeding disorders, and any severe diseases of the internal organs.

Is it possible to undergo breast augmentation surgery if there is a small benign formation in it?
The implant does not affect the development of the tumor in any way, but it is best to undergo an examination and make sure that the formation is benign. If the tumor is malignant, then urgent treatment is necessary; there is no time for aesthetic surgery. In addition, some surgeons may remove benign lesions during implantation.

Are implants dangerous?
The introduction of implants can provoke breast cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, various neurological disorders, as well as complications caused by individual intolerance to silicone. In addition, dentures can sometimes become dislodged (various cases of sagging breasts) and also rupture, especially often during airplane flights.

What is the service life of silicone prostheses?
The maximum service life of implants is 10-12 years. However, the guarantee is only that the dentures will not rupture. Therefore, no one will give you a guarantee that you will not have to have a repeat operation to correct the shape of your breasts or remove implants much earlier. The service life of “silicone breasts” largely depends on several conditions: the size of the implant (the larger the size, the sooner the breasts begin to sag), the woman’s age, lifestyle and, of course, the individual characteristics of the body.

Can I breastfeed after implantation?
Implants do not affect breastfeeding and do not cause side effects either during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How to choose a good aesthetic surgery clinic?
Of course, it’s not about the clinic, but about the specialists who perform the operations. There are very few professional surgeons who are known for their skill. It is necessary to visit several surgeons and be sure to ask their opinion about a particular plastic surgeon. A significant factor when choosing a doctor is the experience of the surgeon. It must be at least 10 years in the field of aesthetic medicine. Of course, a well-known name and any credentials should not be sufficient when choosing a doctor. At all times, the best doctor was the one recommended by his patients. Therefore, if you have friends who have had this type of operation, find out all the details, ask, see the result. And then choose.

Cost of the operation.
In Moscow, the average cost of a consultation with a plastic surgeon is from 1,500 rubles, the cost of prostheses is from $600, and the cost of surgery is from $1,500. It is necessary to keep in mind that the cost of a stay in the clinic, prostheses, and surgery is determined purely individually, after a personal consultation with a doctor. For an absolutely healthy woman who does not have problems with stretching or deformation of the skin and who only wants to increase the size of her breasts, the operation will be cheaper.
