Breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid is considered the safest method today. Before the advent of this method, mammoplasty was used.
The surgery was performed on the chest, in which the implants were inserted. The chest had grown several sizes, but it looked unnatural.
At the same time, no one could give a full guarantee that the operation would take place without complications. The advent of this breast augmentation method exposes women to fewer risks.
How do you increase breasts with hyaluronic acid?
Many have heard of hyaluronic acid. Someone knows it as the main component of synovial fluid, which provides for the lubrication of articular cartilage in connective tissues, and someone has heard of it from the world of cosmetology.
In particular, it has become known for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. How does it happen?
Hyaluronic acid has the unique ability to attract and hold water like a sponge, providing volume and hydration to the tissues.
It is thanks to this feature that this polysaccharide has been successfully used in breast augmentation plastic surgery.
This technique allows you to achieve the desired breast size without resorting to surgery.
Breast augmentation is performed by means of gel injections, or dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid.
Since the molecules of this polysaccharide are large and hold a large amount of water, it has a consistency similar to a thick gel. Approximately 300ml of gel is required for breast enlargement by one size.
How is the procedure carried out? The procedure is painful, so it is done under local anesthesia. Before the operation, all necessary tests are performed and the day of the operation is fixed.
Non-surgical breast augmentation takes about 40 minutes. The drug is injected into the chest using a cannula.
This is a special tube that resembles a feather and replaces a needle. At the injection site, punctures remain, on which cosmetic sutures are applied.
The breast is given exactly the shape the patient wants to have. It is very important that the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist, because not all doctors are able to correctly insert the gel into the breast.
After the end of the procedure, on days 2 and 3, unpleasant pains and a burning sensation appear in the area of the mammary glands. Redness of the skin of the breast, the formation of hematomas, itching are also possible. All these symptoms will soon disappear.
Recovery period
Within 1 month, the patient should not expose the upper body to physical activity. Both excessive heat and cold are contraindicated.
You cannot put pressure on the mammary gland, i. e. massage it or sleep on it, as the gel can move and the breasts deform.
To support the bust, it is recommended to wear a compression garment. The recovery period depends on the age of the patient, the quality of the epidermis, the amount of gel injected and the lifestyle.
Duration of effect
The fillers are divided into absorbable and non-absorbable. For breast augmentation, injections of the first type are mainly used, as they are based on hyaluronic acid, which dissolves quickly.
The effect of its influence is temporary - from 6 months to a year. Non-absorbable injections are dangerous for the development of various complications, so they are practically not used.
Breast augmentation with botox is often confused with dermal fillers. The difference is that Botox preparations are harmful to the body as they contain botulinum toxin.
A gel with hyaluronic acid is a filler that increases the volume of tissues.
What kind of breast fillers are used?
There are many different hyaluronic acid fillers available for breast augmentation.
Since they differ from each other in their properties, a specialist should select them, based on the characteristics of the patient's skin and mammary glands.
It is necessary to take into account another point: the gel with hyaluronic acid has an antidote. It is a special enzyme called hyaluronidase. It is able to destroy the unsuccessful result.
Contraindications and complications
Does breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid have any contraindications? There are a number of cases when it is impossible to use a breast augmentation gel.
Contraindications include any breast neoplasm, both benign and malignant.
Such operations are not carried out even when a woman is planning a pregnancy, since the unabsorbed residues of the gel can squeeze the milk ducts during breastfeeding. In case of autoimmune diseases, interventions in the mammary gland are contraindicated.
When performing an ultrasound of the mammary glands or an X-ray examination, the cysts do not differ from the accumulation of fillers and are often confused.
This makes it difficult to examine the organ for possible malignancies. Palpation also makes diagnosis difficult.
If the sinus becomes inflamed, surgery and antibiotics will be required for treatment.
For the sake of perfection, many women risk their health, without paying attention to contraindications.
The effect after the introduction of hyaluronic acid is undeniable and the result is tangible: the breasts become elastic and plump and the skin is much younger.
But this result is temporary, so you have to repeat the procedure. Such interventions can lead to negative consequences.
Pros and cons of the procedure
This method is not suitable for women who have organ prolapse (ptosis). This procedure will only aggravate the problem.
Hyaluronic acid dissolves over time, but you don't need to apply any procedures related to exposure to the mammary glands first.
The fact that this procedure does little to injure the mammary gland is a great advantage, but after the administration of the drug in the mammary glands, due to the swelling of hyaluronic acid, the soft tissues, vessels and ducts are compressed.
The drug, occupying a certain space in the chest, acts on neighboring tissues.
Why is breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid prohibited in France? This method presents no particular risks and threats to health.
But as a precautionary measure in this country they decided to introduce a ban, since after the introduction of hyaluronic acid, the diagnosis of malignant tumors is very complicated.
