Breast lift and breast prosthesis are two types of breast surgery, and in this article we are going to introduce you to the differences between breast lift and breast prosthesis. Apart from all the differences between these two methods, you should note that the doctor’s ability is very effective in the success of breast cosmetic surgery. Therefore, you should prioritize going to reputable clinics for breast surgery.
What is the operation of breast prosthesis?
Breast prosthesis or breast enlargement surgery is suitable for people who are dissatisfied with their breast size or have lost part of their breast tissue due to reasons such as breast cancer. In this method, an implant is placed under the breast tissue. The doctor determines the incision site by examining the breast tissue. The incision is made in one of the places of the nipple, under the breast or under the armpit. The prosthesis is placed under the breast tissue and the incisions are stitched.
Don’t worry about the stitches because these wounds usually heal after a few weeks with the use of special creams prescribed by the doctor. Breast fat injection is another method of breast augmentation. If you are just unhappy with your breast size, you can also try fat injection. Breast reconstruction and breast prosthesis surgery are performed at Mahziar Clinic by skilled doctors such as Dr. Bakhtiari, and you can arrange a consultation session; Ask your doctor which method is best for you.
Types of breast prosthesis models
There are different types of breast prosthesis in terms of gender and model. Breast implants are divided into two categories, salt water (saline) implants and Filer (silicone) breast implants. Most of the operations performed are with Filer prostheses. Usually, Filer prostheses are used for very thin people. Compared to saline dentures, Filer dentures are more natural to the touch and less likely to crease. In terms of model, breast prostheses are also divided into round and teardrop prostheses.
- Round breast prosthesis: It is suitable for people who want to have more prominent breasts with a soft and well-shaped texture.
- Teardrop breast prosthesis: This model is suitable for people who want to have breasts with a natural shape. People who have very little or weak breast tissue can have beautiful and natural breasts with this prosthesis.
Complications of breast prosthesis
Breast enlargement surgery does not have any side effects if it is performed in a reputable clinic and by a skilled doctor. Usually, the observed complications are caused by not visiting specialist doctors or not following the post-operative care tips. In some cases, less than one percent of patients develop an infection at the incision site, which can be resolved by prescribing antibiotics.
What is a breast lift?
Breast lift is a common breast cosmetic procedure. More than 90% of women experience breast sagging with age, breastfeeding, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, etc. Breast lift is the most effective and common procedure to treat breast sagging. This cosmetic procedure is a minimally invasive and safe procedure that allows you to have well-shaped and natural breasts.
How is breast lift surgery performed?
Although there are different methods for breast lift, but among all of them, breast lift surgery is the most common because its results are stable and permanent. Breast surgery is performed through an incision in the chest area. The location of the incision is different for different people based on the condition of the breast. To perform this operation, the patient is first anesthetized by the specialist. After anesthesia, the incision is made in one of the following areas:
- Around the dark area of the nipple
- From around the breast area down
- The dark part of the nipple towards the breast folds
In the next step, the dark enlarged areas of the breast are removed, the excess skin is removed, the nipple is shaped and the breast tissue is raised. The last step is to close the incisions with stitches. This step is done very carefully and delicately. If you’re concerned about the placement of cleavage, some bust lines are naturally hidden in the folds of the bust. The location of the incisions will be clear at first but will fade and fade over time. Most people feel satisfied with their body after breast surgery and breast lift.
The difference between breast lift and breast prosthesis
The purpose of breast lift surgery is to raise the breast. Note that after breast lifting, the size of the breasts will not change and will not increase. In the breast lift operation, no prosthesis is placed in the breast and the breasts are stretched and shaped naturally as much as possible. But breast prosthesis is a type of surgery to enlarge the breast, correct the asymmetry of the breast and shape the breasts that have very little tissue. In this method, one prosthesis is used in each breast for the purpose of volume. This operation is also very suitable for people who have lost their breast tissue due to diseases such as breast cancer.
Cost of breast surgery
The cost of breast prosthesis surgery varies based on the type of prosthesis you choose. Because breast prostheses are imported, their price also changes with the fluctuations of the dollar in different periods of time. In general, the cost of breast lift and breast prosthesis is different based on which clinic and which doctor you perform the procedure. Note that the skill of the doctor is very important and is worth paying more. Mahziar Beauty Collection is one of the most reliable places where you can entrust your beauty to them with confidence. The satisfaction of patients who have been under the care of skilled doctors like Dr. Ali Bakhtiari is a proof of this.
