The standard of female beauty of all time. The standard of beauty

Rehabilitation after mammoplasty is no less important and responsible period than the operation itself. The results of the procedure, the possibility of developing complications and side effects largely depend on the implementation of all recommendations and prohibitions during this time.

Rehabilitation after breast augmentation takes about two months. In order for the implants to take root in the mammary glands, it will take at least six weeks. Whole rehabilitation period can be divided into two stages:

  1. Postoperative - characterized by a large number of strict restrictions and obligations, the implementation of which is aimed at avoiding postoperative complications. Lasts a month.
  2. Recovery is a less rigorous stage, during which all efforts are aimed at restoring the bust, pectoral, and shoulder muscles after surgery. A little physical activity is already allowed here, therapeutic exercises are welcome.

Rehabilitation by days after breast augmentation is as follows:

Day Rehabilitation actions
The first After the operation, the patient is under the supervision of a doctor and junior medical staff, so that in case of complications or consequences of anesthesia, medical assistance can be provided immediately.
The first day is quite painful for a woman, as she moves away from anesthesia. In most cases, doctors prescribe painkillers, sometimes antipyretics, as well as an antibiotic to prevent inflammatory and purulent processes. Immediately after the operation, you can not lie down, you can sit, take a semi-recumbent position. By evening, with positive dynamics, it will be possible to get up, walk around a bit. You can drink no earlier than three hours after the procedure, and eat a little - five hours later. In case of great thirst, wipe the lips with a cotton pad moistened with water.
Second The doctor examines the patient. If all is well, the drainage is removed and the dressing is done. In some clinics, under favorable circumstances, a woman is allowed to go home on the second day, in some - on the third.
Third fourth This period is characterized by home mode. A woman should not overexert herself physically, but moderate walking is useful for her.
Fifth The patient must come to the clinic for examination and dressing.
sixth - eleventh The woman is slowly returning to the preoperative way of life. You should still refrain from excessive physical exertion, sports and lifting even minor weights.
Twelfth day The penultimate visit to the clinic for examination is scheduled.

The next and last visit to the hospital will be in the sixth week after the operation.

One and a half to two weeks after plastic surgery, you can start light homework. Sports training can be started only after a month, after consulting with a doctor.


In order to prevent the development of complications, a woman must clearly and strictly follow the recommendations and not overstep the doctor's prohibitions.

In the first three hours after the operation, the patient should not drink, in the first five hours - to eat, the first four days - to take a shower.

It is forbidden during the first week after mammoplasty:

  1. Lie down and sleep on your stomach.
  2. Raise your arms to a level above the location of the shoulders.
  3. Lift weights (more than 1 kg.).
  4. Make sudden movements.
  5. Tilt your body down.

You can start physical training no earlier than one month after the procedure. Throughout the rehabilitation period, stress, depression, any nervous tension, experiences, significant changes in body weight.

Particular attention should be paid to the diet. It is forbidden to drink alcohol, smoke. You should limit sweet, salty, spicy, fried, fatty foods. It is not recommended to drink a lot of liquid.

During the year it is forbidden to go to the solarium, bath, sauna, is under direct sunlight, take a hot bath.

Features of bust care


How long does the breast hurt after mammoplasty? chest after plastic surgery at first it will be painful, swollen. Hematomas, bruises can form on the mammary glands. This should pass within two to three weeks. Pain and swelling of the mammary glands can disturb a woman in the first month with varying intensity. However, if these sensations are very pronounced, you should consult a doctor.

During the first two months, the bust is unnaturally raised up. After this time, the implants are fully implanted and the breast is lowered into its natural position.

In the first two years after the operation, there may also be problems with the sensitivity of the breasts, halo and nipples: they can either be too sensitive (especially to burning, irritation, pain) or lose sensitivity completely or partially. Despite the fact that this may be a variant of the norm and after a while everything will pass, such symptoms should be reported to the doctor.

In order to prevent complications and achieve a speedy recovery of the breast, a woman should carefully care for the mammary glands until the sutures are completely scarred. Seams should be given special attention - to prevent infection from entering them, to monitor the state and dynamics of healing.

Seam processing


The seams after mammoplasty are covered with a bandage to prevent infection and protect from external irritating factors. During scheduled visits, the doctor changes the bandage and treats the stitches with an antiseptic. It is forbidden to wet the bandage and remove it yourself. The first 4 days, showers are taken exclusively in areas below the waist.

After two weeks, the bandage is removed and, if necessary, the scars are cleaned. In the case of using self-absorbable threads, the sutures are not removed - after a certain time they will dissolve on their own. If a dry crust has formed on top of them, it cannot be torn off until it itself falls off.

If the stitches bleed for a long time, are very reddened, irritated, become visible or begin to be felt, you should consult a doctor to rule out infection. In some clinics, after the operation, the patient is prescribed a five-day intake of antibiotics to prevent inflammation of the wounds from the possible ingress of bacteria, infections, and painkillers are also prescribed.

Tool type Peculiarity Preparation example
Antiseptics At home, the incision site can be treated with an antiseptic solution recommended by the doctor. It can be: iodine, brilliant green in pure form or its solution, potassium permanganate solution, pure alcohol, chlorhexidine, miramistin, hydrogen peroxide.
Healing ointments Four weeks after the plastic surgery, the stitches can be treated with moisturizing wound healing creams. This will speed up their healing. Vishnevsky ointments, Contractubex and Dermatix, Vulnuzan, Methyluracil, Solcoseryl, Mederma, as well as creams with vitamin E.
plasters Many doctors advise sticking a special silicone patch over the stitches until they scar. Their use accelerates the healing process and protects wounds from external irritating factors. Mepiform, Hudrofilm, Fixopor, Kosmopor.

specific type medicinal product and its brand should be selected by the doctor who performed the operation. It is forbidden to make a decision on the use of any drug on your own.


The first two months after plastic surgery, a woman should wear compression underwear. The first month it is used for the whole day, not even taking it off at night. Starting from the second month, it is mandatory to wear it during the day, but the bandage can be removed before going to bed.

How much it will take depends on the dynamics of bust recovery. Some women wear it for 1-2 months, while others cannot take it off for 3-4 months.

The significance of this linen is very high in the rehabilitation period:

  1. The compression bodice supports the chest, fixes the implants in the anatomical pocket, preventing their displacement, seam rupture, skin stretching.
  2. The compression created by such a bra activates blood flow and lymph flow, reduces inflammation, swelling of the mammary glands, and prevents the appearance of pain.
  3. Such underwear provides the skin with air exchange, protects the chest from external irritating factors, injuries, and prevents stretching of the seams due to physical exertion.
  4. A compression bra limits the mobility of the glands, which contributes to their speedy recovery, reducing the load on the back and shoulder area.
  5. Thanks to him, the chest occupies an ideal position, does not squeeze, does not move in different directions.

Now you can find a lot of options for compression underwear. good choice will become a bodice with the ability to adjust the level of compression in order to choose the necessary values ​​according to the pace of recovery.

Refusal of compression underwear can nullify all results plastic surgery and lead to the following:

  • Displacement of implants.
  • Stretching, rupture of seams.
  • Dropping of the chest.
  • bust asymmetry.
  • Skin stretching.
  • Injury to the mammary glands during physical exertion.
  • The need for a breast lift.
  • The need for a second operation due to displacement, rupture, reconstruction (deformation) of implants.

After the permission of the doctor to remove the compression top, care must be taken to purchase comfortable, soft and non-constricting underwear. In addition, the new bodice should support the chest and not squeeze it, have wide straps and a deep cup. You can return to classic underwear 1 year after the operation.


The first three days it is forbidden to swim in the shower and bath in general. Starting from the fourth day after mammoplasty, you can take a shower in the area below the waist. After removing the dressing from the seams, it is allowed to bathe in the shower completely, however, it is permissible to take a bath only a month after the operation.

Bathing water should not be cold or hot, only warm (37-37.5 degrees). The shower jet should be diffused, not directed.

In no case should the chest be rubbed with a towel. It is better to gently blot it with a non-hard towel until it dries.

It is not recommended to frequently use soap or gels to wash the breasts. It is better to do this no more than twice a week, and the rest of the time just wash with water. Frequent use of soap will dry out the skin, which will delay healing.

Four weeks after the operation, you can start using regular moisturizing skin care creams based on vitamins E and A, oils, herbal extracts. It is good if they additionally have wound-healing properties. These can be means:

  • Mom Comfort.
  • Johnson's baby.
  • "Baby Pharmacy" from VITEKS.
  • Mothercare it's your body.
  • Cream "Children's" of any company.
  • Cream Avent.

Natural oils and mummy powder can be added to the cream. It is allowed to apply alginate masks and algae wrap (not warming).


Massage of the operated breast after mammoplasty can reduce the risk of complications after surgical intervention. For the first time, a doctor shows a woman the technique of therapeutic massage, then she must do it at home on her own, at least every other day.

The best time for a massage procedure is in the morning. The duration of the massage is set by the doctor in accordance with the tendency to recovery.

Massage should begin no earlier than the fourth day after the operation. For the first two to three weeks, light circular strokes of the mammary glands will be enough. When massaging the left breast, it is supported with the left hand from below. Index, middle and ring fingers right hand put together, place the pads on the circumference of the glands and carry out soft circular movements with them, starting from the axillary region, in a clockwise direction towards the collarbone. Similarly, the procedure is performed with the right breast, only the supporting and massaging hand changes.

From the fifth or sixth week, you can start doing lymphatic drainage massage. It activates blood flow and lymph flow, promotes the healing of sutures. Massage technique:

  1. The middle, ring and index fingers of the hand are folded, then they make circular movements around the circumference of the glands.
  2. Movements begin at the armpit, continue in a circular direction and end at the collarbone.
  3. Movement of the palms along the bust up and down, then left and right.
  4. Attach your palms to the glands and in a circular motion gently guide them towards each other.
  5. Put your palms on top of your chest and make gentle pressing movements.
  6. Stroke the bust along the contour clockwise.
  7. At the end, gently rub the glands with your palms.

Massage is best done while sitting or lying in front of a mirror to control your movements. The duration of the procedure is on average about 10 minutes. Before the procedure, hands should be soaked with linseed, lavender or coconut oil.

Massage is required in such cases:

  • Long-lasting sensation of implants.
  • Perceptible pain in the chest.
  • Numbness of scar tissue.

Massage is contraindicated in purulent, inflammatory processes that occur as a result of unsuccessful mammoplasty.


Recovery after mammoplasty involves refraining from excessive physical exertion and active sports training:

  • In the first three days, rest is shown.
  • In the next two weeks, walking, short walks are shown.
  • Starting from the second week, you can start light housework.
  • After the stitches have healed and the bandage has been removed, doctors recommend starting therapeutic exercises to restore and strengthen the pectoral and shoulder muscles.

You need to start exercising gradually. A month after the operation, you can perform simple exercises: raising your arms up, swimming for short distances, raising your arms with small weights (up to 1-2 kg).

Two months after consulting a doctor, you can slowly start jogging, fitness, and aerobics. After three months, it is allowed to do stretching, rocking the press. Push-ups, chest presses, chest stretching are allowed only 25 weeks after the operation.

The duration of the period of abstinence from physical activity and the type of permissible loads largely depend on the density and size of the implants, the method of their engraftment. When installing denser, larger prostheses, using the endoscopic method of breast augmentation and the technique of axillary access, the rehabilitation period will be longer. Accordingly, it will be possible to start the loads a little later (for a week and a half).

The most common questions from women


If a woman wants her breasts to look lush, beautiful and rounded after surgery, she must follow all the rules of the postoperative period.

When can I sleep on my side and on my stomach?

For the first two weeks after surgery, you are only allowed to sleep on your back. Starting from the second week, a woman can go to bed on her side. Sleeping on the stomach is allowed no earlier than a month after mammoplasty.

Such requirements are justified by the fact that while lying on the side and stomach, the pectoral muscles tighten, the chest is pressed in - this can lead to displacement of the implants, the occurrence of severe pain, and the divergence of the seams in the incisions.

When does sexual activity resume?

Since having sex can be compared to physical activity by increasing heart rate and blood pressure, you should not start having sex immediately after surgery. In addition, the process may cause displacement of the implant or damage to the sutures.

As a rule, a medical ban lasts from 2 weeks to 1 month.

Is it possible to visit the bath?

During the entire rehabilitation period, and this is at least two months, it is strictly forbidden to visit the bathhouse. You can go to such an institution only after the stitches have completely healed. The advice of doctors is to refrain from bathing for at least 5-6 months after the operation.

The increase in temperature that occurs in the bath activates the production of sweat and lymph flow. Moisture in insufficient quantities enters the internal organs, is spent on lowering body temperature and saving it from overheating. Also, increased stress is carried out on the cardiovascular system. These processes prevent the healing of sutures and the restoration of the bust after plastic surgery. Violation of this rule can lead to the development of postoperative complications.

Pouring will also negatively affect the state of women's health cold water after bath. Additional stress on the body can lead to illness, because the patient's immunity is already weakened.

When can you shower?

You can take a shower on the fourth day after plastic surgery, but swimming is only allowed in the area below the waist. After the stitches are removed (approximately the second week after the operation), the shower is allowed to take a full shower.

Bathing in the bathroom is prohibited during the first month after surgery. In no case should the water when bathing be cold or hot. You can only wash warm water 37-37.5 degrees.

It is allowed to visit the pool 4-5 months after the operation.

Can I drink alcohol?

  1. For the first time after surgery, a woman may be prescribed painkillers and antibiotics, and their intake is not compatible with alcohol. Otherwise, adverse reactions may develop.
  2. Alcoholic drinks slow down the healing process, wound healing.
  3. Since the body is weakened after the operation, alcohol can lead to the development of diseases, exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Alcoholic beverages can be consumed no earlier than two months after the operation, but in any case not earlier than the complete healing of the stitches. The same ban applies to smoking.

When does the first menstruation come after surgery?

Menstruation after mammoplasty can, on average, be delayed for 1-2 months, since the body has suffered serious stress, needs a long recovery, and was also under the influence of anesthesia. Due to the endocrine changes occurring in the body, a temporary failure of the menstrual cycle is possible.

Normally, the process should stabilize and be accompanied by the usual symptoms: breast swelling, aching pain, irritability, mood swings, etc. If, with a positive dynamics of suture healing and no complications, menstruation does not begin after 2 months of rehabilitation, it is necessary to visit a gynecologist. The doctor may prescribe a course of hormone therapy.

Is it allowed to visit the solarium and sunbathe in the sun?

Women should refrain from sunbathing and visiting the solarium for a year after surgical operation. During tanning, the implant heats up quickly but cools slowly. Exposure to ultraviolet rays can lead to:

  • prosthesis deformities.
  • Compaction of fibrous (scar) tissue.
  • Breast asymmetries.

To correct such complications, a second operation is often required.

Besides, ultra-violet rays can lead to pigmentation in the area of ​​incisions and sutures, darkening of scars. In view of such consequences, visiting a solarium and sunbathing under the open sun is possible no earlier than a year after mammoplasty.


Throughout the rehabilitation period, a woman should carefully monitor her well-being and the condition of the bust. O possible development complications are most often indicated by such symptoms.

Women who dream of correcting the shape and size of their breasts, nowadays have the opportunity to seek help from a plastic surgeon. There are many options for correction, ranging from the size of the implants to its filler and the way the prosthesis is inserted into the chest. But all ladies should understand that upon completion of the operation, an equally important stage awaits them - this.

The process is very important, and all owners of new beautiful breasts must follow the recommendations of the surgeon. An experienced doctor will definitely give advice on how to take care of yourself and your body during the adaptation period. Today we will look at the features of the recovery period and give tips for a quick recovery.

Rehabilitation after mammoplasty by day

The woman is discharged with the normal course of her recovery the next day after the operation. As a precautionary measure, approximately 24 hours are required for the examination of the patient. It allows you to detect and prevent complications that are possible after surgery. Once at home, a period begins for a woman rehabilitation after breast augmentation. Its duration varies from a month to three, depending on the individual characteristics of the body and compliance with medical prescriptions.

An incision wound heals in a few days. More long time it is necessary that the implants take root, and the breast is formed. After surgery, inflammation may occur, and improper suture treatment and non-compliance with the recommendations of the doctor can lead to the development of infection. In order not to develop an inflammatory process, the doctor usually recommends taking anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs with an analgesic effect for the first days. And for the healing of sutures, it is recommended to use special postoperative patches.

  1. After the operation, you can not lie down, you can sit in a reclining or sitting position. Walking on the day of surgery is possible only if the patient is in good health. Eating is allowed no earlier than after 5 hours, and water can be drunk after 3 hours. To reduce the risk of bleeding and relieve pain, it is necessary to apply cold from the first day.
  2. The next day, the patient is examined and, if necessary, bandaging is performed. If there is no need for further hospitalization, the woman is allowed to go home.
  3. The third and fourth days are accompanied by a slight increase in pain. It is necessary to monitor body temperature and, if necessary, continue to take antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs. But, in general, the woman begins to recover and returns to normal life. Going to work is still contraindicated. It is necessary to observe the home regimen with periodic walks on fresh air. From this period, it is recommended to bandage the chest with specialized elastic bandages in combination with.
  4. Washing in the shower is allowed no earlier than on the fifth day after breast augmentation surgery. Before bathing, it is important to seal the seam with a plaster to eliminate the risk of infection. It is forbidden to wash your head on your own due to the restriction of hand movements until the end of the first month. And you can take a bath no earlier than after 6 weeks. On the fifth day, the doctor usually prescribes a consultation with an examination, and in the absence of complications, the patient is scheduled to visit in another week.
  5. After 7-10 days, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs are stopped. If side effects such as constipation or diarrhea occur while taking medication, you should inform your doctor. Most likely, a woman will be prescribed a laxative or other drug to combat the disease. At this stage, edema and hematomas still persist, but the woman may already notice a slight improvement.

    It is allowed to sleep on the stomach no earlier than a week after the operation in the absence of contraindications.

  6. After the 10th day of the rehabilitation period, the risk of complications is minimized. Now you can start light gymnastics. The load on the hands should not exceed 1.5 kilograms. Usually on the 12th day the patient goes to visit the doctor for another examination.
  7. The sutures are removed approximately 2 weeks after breast augmentation. With a good course of wound healing, on the recommendation of a doctor, they can be removed at an earlier date.

    It is better not to settle for self-absorbable external sutures. It is desirable that the doctor assesses the state of the healing process and makes a verdict on the date of their removal.

  8. In the absence of complications, the last examination is scheduled after six weeks of recovery. The doctor checks for swelling and numbness of the nipple area. The swelling should go away, but the discomfort in the nipple-areolar complex may still remain, but soon this feeling will “fade away”.

The final result can be assessed only after 3-4 months of rehabilitation after breast augmentation, because. by this time the patient returns to her usual way of life. As a result, scars, bruises and redness have almost disappeared, only a professionally performed operation in the form of a beautiful breast is noticeable. It is only important to remember that for this it is still necessary to make efforts during the recovery period after surgery.

Recommendations during the rehabilitation period after mammoplasty

The most popular questions regarding the recovery period are:

  • When can you start exercising?
  • how long you can not have sex;
  • how long it is necessary to comply with restrictions on alcohol and nicotine;
  • when you can raise your arms without harming the seams and chest.

Physical activity and sex

Breast tissues after plastic surgery should recover. pectoral muscles You can not often and strongly lead to tone. This is necessary in order for the recovery after mammoplasty to be quick. At first, the load on the hands should not be more than 3 kilograms (1.5 kilograms for each hand). You can do light chores around the house or go to work from 7 to 10 days, if your activity is not related to bending over, carrying weights and raising your arms above your shoulders.

You can return to physical activity and sports no earlier than a month later. It is necessary to consult with the surgeon before classes. It is necessary to load the muscles gradually, starting with light fitness or small loads in gym. When playing sports, it is necessary to use compression underwear.

Also important point is control over body weight. During the adaptation period, it is desirable to maintain weight at the same level, without a sharp set of kilograms and weight loss.

For 4-6 weeks, a woman should refrain from having sex. The ban is associated primarily with hormonal changes and rather strong physical activity. During sexual tension and orgasm, a woman's hormonal background changes, a large blood flow enters the breast, which can increase swelling and pain. If medical advice is not followed, the risk of implant displacement and damage to the sutures increases.

Why you can not raise your arms after mammoplasty

Ladies often wonder how to behave so as not to harm the silicone breast rehabilitation process. Raising the arms above the shoulder level contributes to the stretching of the muscle tissue and a significant displacement of the mammary glands. It is strictly forbidden to disturb this part of the body, and even more so to stretch it in the coming weeks.

Plastic surgery after a two-week period usually already removes the rigid requirements for body movements. But to prevent rupture of the sutures and worsen the swelling of the breast, a consultation in the clinic is necessary.

Alcohol and smoking after breast augmentation

After augmentation surgery mammary glands for 1.5 - 2 months it is forbidden to smoke and drink alcohol-containing drinks.

If it is extremely difficult to give up nicotine, then it is necessary to refrain from smoking for at least 3 weeks. Nicotine causes stagnation of blood in the veins, which can cause tissue necrosis or thrombosis. Smoking also negatively affects blood circulation and wound healing.

With alcohol, everything is much stricter, the restriction period must be observed in accordance with the recommendations of the surgeon.

Reasons for the prohibition of the use of alcohol-containing products after breast augmentation surgery:

  • against the backdrop of a decline immune system, alcohol can serve as a hotbed of exacerbation of chronic diseases;
  • there is a decrease in the rate of wound healing;
  • combining prescribed drugs with alcohol can lead to disruption of the nervous system.

Massage - how to recover faster after breast augmentation

Care after surgery also includes such activities as breast massage. It should only be prescribed by the consulting surgeon after 2 to 4 weeks. It all depends on the general condition of the woman and the healing of the sutures.

The benefits of breast massage after mammoplasty are explained by the following positive results:

  • increases the plasticity and elasticity of the skin;
  • good recovery of breast sensitivity;
  • prostheses take a natural position;
  • pain sensations are reduced;
  • puffiness disappears faster;
  • the process of fusion of connective tissues in the area of ​​the implant is prevented.

A woman can learn from a surgeon how to massage her breasts. And in the absence of massaging skills, you can seek help from a professional specialist. It may also be recommended by a doctor.

Owners of a beautiful new breast should remember that the very long-awaited result depends on compliance with all recommendations for restoration.

OP 03.06.15
Polytech, 275 ml anatomy, incision under the breast.

275, anatomists

24 May 2015
The OP will be in June, I can’t wait, here is my sad source code (or rather, its complete absence: (). Height 166, weight 48, OPG 71.

I have 2 children :) and almost 2 years of feeding the youngest, that's the result.

The doctor suggested me only 275 maximum. I’m trying to imagine what will happen, I’ve already poured water into the bag and applied it.

25 May 2015
Anatomists. Too bony chest, otherwise the border will be very noticeable

So far so good, tho. I don't feel anything :)

How glad I am, finally it happened. To the doctor now in a week, to remove the stitches. In general, everything turned out to be not so scary, there is no pain, only it’s hard to get up by myself, I ask my eldest daughter.

Literally for a second I put on the underwear that I wore before the OP. Of course, the chest is still motionless, the stomach is swollen ... but how happy the result is ALREADY :)

All this is really very individual. She got married at 19, gave birth to the eldest at 22, the youngest at 27 :) And all this is conscious.

after reading, I prepared for the worst, but there was no pain at all ... Neither on the same day, nor the next, nor, as they say, that the third is the most difficult - and then nothing hurt. I took painkillers only on the 2nd day, and then probably for my own peace of mind :) The stitches were removed on the 9th day, at the same time they were allowed not to wear the tape. Perhaps the most unpleasant thing was - it was an edematous stomach, as in the 5-6th month ... Today is the 15th day, and I don’t feel at all that something is not mine on me.

01 July 2015

Yesterday it was already 2 months since my girlfriends are with me, I have become so close to them :)
I have been sleeping for a week without a compra, there is absolutely no discomfort. In general, I'm happy :)

admiring myself :)
And it still depends on the clothes - in some ways it’s direct, but in some ways it’s imperceptible even :)

The story of the patient "SimplyBlond" is taken from the forum.

Hi all!

HOW I DECIDED ABOUT BREAST PLASTY

I have been studying the issue of mammoplasty for more than 2 years.

I am 36 years old, 2 breastfeeding(children of the weather) and from my second size the first one remained with ptosis (omission of the mammary gland) mainly sagging on one side.

In the bra, my breasts dangled at the bottom of the cup. I became disgusted with myself. After all most time I see myself - every day changing clothes, swimming. And in summer, you just can’t pick up a swimsuit, because the cups are empty, and without cups, asymmetry is very visible.

My husband said I was crazy and up last day WAS AGAINST. And he can’t understand that I’m not an old woman, but my chest hangs like a 60-year-old. I said that no matter how he was against it, I do the operation for myself in order to feel like a woman.

I accumulated 210 thousand because I had another problem - hernia of the lower eyelids, black circles under the eyes.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DOCTOR CHOICE AND ANALYSIS

I did the operation in Saratov. I made an appointment with a certain doctor 5 months in advance (specially for vacation time, so that I would not be pulled at work and to the growing moon). I followed the work of this surgeon on Instagram, talked with the girls who operated on him, plus the price was right for me, which is 2-3 times lower than in Moscow. I also know that patients come to him who remake chest after the Moscow surgeons.

In order not to travel 2 times, I signed up for a consultation on 05/14/19, and for an operation on 05/15/19.

Before the operation, 2 weeks before the operation, the administrator called me and clarified whether the plans had changed.

I, in order to save money, passed most of the tests for free at the clinic (HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, ECG)

And on the spot I decided to take the KLA, B \ X blood, urine.

In the clinic, she underwent a mammologist and ultrasound of the glands (everything is OK).

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CONSULTATION

The consultation went well.

THE SURGEON ASKED WHAT I WANT, WHAT SIZE. He took chest measurements.

I initially wanted access through the areola, but the surgeon explained that this increases the number of complications, since it is necessary to cut the glandular tissue into 2 parts and insert the implant. He said that the inframammary access in the natural fold is safer.

They began to choose an implant, I said that I want a round one so that the upper pole is filled. because my chest is quite well developed, then implants chose BELLA GEL ROUND, HIGH PROFILE 450 AND 475 ML. The clinic has a variety of implants, different companies, the doctor gives each one to touch, introduces, etc. It’s just that on the day of the operation and the size I needed, there were 2 companies with my huge chest. We settled on Korean.

He also gave me an address where to buy compression underwear and stockings (you can use elastic bandages, it's cheaper). I bought black, without replacement, because it's expensive: top - 4100 r underwear and 1700r seems to be stockings)

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

OPERATION

The operation was scheduled for 4:00 pm.

I ate and drank in the morning.

Came at 14.30. I filled out a questionnaire (diseases, I drink, I smoke, weight, height, blood pressure, etc.). Went to a therapist.

They gave me a bathrobe and slippers.

We were escorted to the ward. I watched TV, the anesthesiologist came, talked, said to put on stockings and wear them for 5 days after the operation.


Invited to go to the markup and photo


And immediately on the table.

I will not describe in detail about anesthesia, everyone has it in the review.

It's just that when you lie down on the table you shudder, it's scary. But m / s entered the vein and I passed out after 30 seconds.

The operation took 2 hours.

She recovered from anesthesia quickly, but did not get up. There was not. There was a button in the ward to call the medical staff, but I didn’t need it. M / s injected with an antibiotic and painkiller.

I woke up 3 times at night. I JUST DIDN'T HAVE USED TO SLEEP ON THE BACK AND IT WAS VERY HARD! But not in terms of pain, but in terms of the fact that your back is numb, you are afraid to turn around, it hurts to get up.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2nd DAY and check out

In the morning the clinic team came in, questioned and left. They said to go to breakfast, AND AFTER THE DISCLOSURE.

6 operated patients gathered in the dining room - some with breasts, some with a nose, some with eyelids. We talked.

3rd DAY. BANDAGE.

Arrived at the clinic at the appointed time.

They took off their underwear and then I saw hematomas (large ones) and my chest. It seemed big to me (and now it seems normal, the swelling is gone). The doctor removed the tubes with containers, m / s, as if pumping each breast with her own hands, so that the blood came out and I was discharged. The stitches were removed in a month.

At the dressing, the surgeon says: "So, we have anatomy, right? What is the volume?"

I answer: "No, round"

“Yes?” he wondered.

FIRST MONTH AFTER MAMMOPLASTY. NO ONE HELPED ME.

I was traveling home by train (take only the lower shelf, because you won’t climb onto the upper one)

My husband met me, steam was coming from his nostrils. He is an ardent opponent of plastics and I could only rely on myself for everything. Fortunately, the children are not small and it was not necessary to take them on the hands.

BUT!! There were household chores and no one canceled them.

For the first month, I did absolutely everything. Only gravity did not lift (practically).

And she cooked, stroked a few little things, washed her hair, cooked EVERYTHING HERSELF! And there is nothing hard here. I took very good care of myself for the first week, and then I came to habitual life. And from time to time she moved the five-liter bottle and raised her hands too, although they said that it was impossible.

raise your hands

COMPRESSION UNDERWEAR

At the expense of linen - the doctor removed the fixing upper elastic band for me. Said I didn't need her. And the truth without it became easier.

He also said that the left breast should be tucked into this very underwear when I put on the top.

I didn’t take off this top for a week, I was afraid. Partially washed.

After 1 week I took a bath and put it on again. And a week later I took it off and washed it faster. Putting on a sports top, it was hard for me, I felt an unpleasant soreness. Fortunately, it was hot and it dried out in 2 hours on the street. And the breasts were very hard up to a month, by the end of the first month it became much softer.

MY PAIN IN THE SUTURE AREA after mammoplasty + HEMATOMA

I did not have wild pains and I did not drink painkillers. Plates on the chest and inability to breathe, etc. There was nothing.

BUT!!! after 7-10 days, a shooting pain appeared under the right breast (where there are a lot of bruises), so strong that I couldn’t sleep, I wake up, I can’t find a place, it shoots, pulls, it hurts exactly that place. I've searched the internet for reviews but can't find them.

Frightened that the vessel, implant or something else burst, took a photo (there are bruises) wrote to the doctor. He replied that it happens, I calmed down. Not so bad, but it hurt for 2 weeks. Especially lying on your back. Then it passed.

ALSO VERY WORRIED HEMATOMS (bruises). They on my right breast simply horrified me, and were on the skin for exactly a month, then they disappeared. Do not be afraid looking at the photo, a month and a week and they finally disappeared, although it bothered me a lot

REMOVAL OF SEAMS. Liquid under one breast after mammoplasty.

Removed stitches in Saratov

The doctor checked it out and said everything was fine. Again he asked about the implants and was surprised that they were cool, he said that they looked exactly like the anatomy on me. I think due to the size.

While I was sitting in line, I looked and listened to the girls. Every second had fluid in the breast area after surgery. One girl directly said so (she didn’t read the recommendations and removed the stitches at home not after 4 weeks, but after 2 and 50 ml of liquid came out of her chest, she ran to Saratov. They pumped out the same amount from the neighboring breast. She stayed for treatment. It must be prepared for the fact that not everything is always smooth).

I go for an ultrasound (to another center where plastic surgery is also performed) and I have 2 mm strip of liquid!!! HOW SO? Do I have tickets in hand? I write to the doctor, he replied that this is acceptable. I'm leaving.

SEAM POINTS AND SENSITIVITY


The areolas were super sensitive for the first 2 months (i.e., I felt unpleasant and painful even when touched). After 2 months, the sensitivity returned completely to the left breast, but in the right it is still unpleasant, but the former sensitivity is gradually returning.

CONS OF MY BREAST, surgery and in general

1. Yes, girls, although I don’t want to admit it, but the breasts turned out to be DIFFERENT, it was especially visible after a month, one seemed to be flat, the other reminded me of a protruding zucchini.

it very visible in the photo but it is not very visible if I look in the mirror. I DON'T KNOW WHY??? Until the end, the asymmetry has not gone away even now, and this is very sad


2. The areola of the right breast was larger initially, everything remained the same. But neither the doctor suggested, nor I thought of doing an areola lift (reducing it). This plus 20 thousand I learned. I'm sorry.

3. The whole month after anesthesia, OILY hair. I had to wash my hair every day.

4. Compression underwear (I walked in it for 3 months exactly, when I took it off, there was obvious discomfort in the first couple of months. The third month is already better, but not like with my breasts, but on the 4th month I put on a seamless top and my breasts "got used to ". And with a compression top I go in for sports, it keeps perfectly, but I started training after 4 months.

5. I still cannot sleep on implants, on my stomach, which I loved so much before the operation. Uncomfortable. I'm used to sleeping on my side and back.

6. I got better without sports, well, I like to eat myself. It's good that I can now connect at least to the bottom of the sport, and the top in a couple of months

PROS.

1. CHEST is worth it. And for me it is important. I will say right away that only my best friend noticed the increase. And recently I got into a conversation with a friend, she saw me without underwear in a T-shirt and said: “You are fine, even your breasts have not changed after feeding.” Yes, she would have known.

2. Opportunity go without underwear. Due to the asymmetry, I didn’t go out without underwear, in a swimsuit without cups it was also clear that one breast was larger and I was complex. And here, if you just look closely and measure, it is noticeable. And it's just a pleasure to walk just in a T-shirt with straps in the summer or at home. Even an ordinary home shirt looks beautiful and the chest is in it. Yes, and in the event of a holiday, how many times refused dresses, where you can wear without underwear

4. None own chest and did not stand nearby(according to elasticity, standing height, beauty, etc.) with breasts with implants. Girls, I'm telling you. I may not be perfect, but I am very satisfied and happy with my new breasts. The cons seem minor compared to the pros. I feel like an attractive woman. I see the views of men from the side.

5. Big breasts (I have the 3rd size) made up for my wide hips , now everything is proportional.

6. Girls, breasts change. A month after the operation, both breasts looked in different directions, it was so noticeable to me that they were different. But, by the 3rd month, she “fluffed up”, blurred, she lay down and became more beautiful. And now it’s even better, as if leveled off and became more or less the same

- Only positive attitude for surgery(thoughts are material, think only in a positive way and do not read the negative before the operation);

-find your surgeon which will inspire confidence;

Do chest as big as possible, then even to me, sometimes it seemed that it was small. I know two girls who were directly depressed about their 250 and 280 ml, after the operation their breasts seemed very small and they wrote that they wanted to remake them larger. Here, to each his own, I feel comfortable with a three, because you can bet more, but a huge chest can sag.

If you want more children, namely breastfeeding, then only inframammary (submammary) access. Through the areola, 5-10% remains that you can feed, because the gland is crossed with a scalpel. That's what the surgeon explained.

Girls with strong asymmetry, if you want a symmetrical breast as a result, and you have a source like mine, then in this case you need 2 operations and on the side of greater ptosis you need to do an anchor lift. But, I was stopped by the fact that I still want to give birth and feed, which is not compatible with this operation, as the surgeon explained.

I know that in 2 clinics in Saratov (I did it in one of them) this is not the first year in the summer hold promotions- all plastic plus implants for 100 thousand, this is a great savings. I don’t know if it’s possible to write the name, if you are interested, write in the comments, I will write doctors, clinics, answer questions.
