A Brief History of Breast Lipofilling
The first in the history of lipofilling was made by the surgeon Lyndon Peer in 1950. There are earlier mentions
of
this operation, but they have not been reliably confirmed. The breakthrough of lipofilling happened only 30
years
later with the invention of liposuction. Now getting fat for such a procedure has become very easy. Even after a
while, they started talking about the procedure for transplanting fat into the mammary glands as dangerous, and
a
conflict arose in the scientific community on this basis. It resulted in a complete ban on lipofilling in the
United
States, which was in effect for several more years. At this time, European and Asian doctors were busy improving
the
lipofilling procedure, in 2007 the ban was lifted in America, and the operation was recognized as a safe method
of
breast augmentation.
When is lipofilling applied
Desire to enlarge breasts. The first and main reason why girls go to the lipofilling procedure is the desire to
enlarge their breasts.
Breast correction after implant placement. Often after breast augmentation by implantation of implants, it is
required to correct the results of the operation, or simply to smooth out the contours of the breast, making
them
more natural.
Correction of external defects of the breast. This includes the asymmetry of the mammary glands, and other
defects.
Among them, for example, scars after operations.
How the operation works
First, the surgeon marks the area from which the adipose tissue will be taken, and the area where it will later
be
injected. Next, anesthesia is introduced, it can be both local and general. Usually it all depends on the
patient`s
wishes. After the anesthesia has worked, the doctor collects adipose tissue. Today, this is usually done by
liposuction, because this is the fastest and most non-traumatic method, but sometimes they also resort to
syringing.
The doctor then gently and evenly begins to inject fat into the pre-marked places on the chest. In this case,
this
procedure should be performed as quickly as possible, because the time the adipose tissue is outside the body
depends on how well it will take root, and therefore the result of the entire procedure. At the end of the
operation, everything does not end, then the recovery period begins. The first results of breast lipofilling are
visible in a week. It is during this time that the main swelling and bruising disappears, and you can see the
outlines of your new breast. The full recovery period does not take longer than 2 months, during this period all
cells that have not taken root are absorbed, hematomas go away and the mammary glands acquire their normal
state.
The engrafted tissue behaves like any other fat in the body, it just becomes part of the breast. Patients speak
especially warmly about mammoplasty Turkey, local specialists do an excellent job with this
type of procedure. And
for (lipofilling) fat transfer breast augmentation price is in this country is completely lower
than the market one.
Lipofilling and other operations
Lipofilling is often combined with other breast plastic surgeries. This procedure can be the finishing touch for
breast augmentation with implantation of implants. Often, after such an operation, it is required to correct
minor
imperfections in the appearance of the mammary glands, or simply to make their appearance and structure more
natural
and aesthetic.
Lipofilling is also often performed in conjunction with a breast lift. These procedures, in combination, can
significantly improve the appearance of the mammary glands, making them more attractive and elastic.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Like any other plastic surgery, lipofilling has its advantages and disadvantages. Based on them, you can
understand
whether this method of breast augmentation is right for you.
Benefits
Lipofilling is the most natural way of breast augmentation. In practice, this means that this procedure is the
safest among similar ones for health and does not cause rejection of the body. Implants, for example, may not
take
root and be rejected by the body as a foreign object.
Also, naturalness means that the breast will not change its structure and will remain the same as it was to the
touch.
Lipofilling can be carried out together with the liposuction procedure, because it is already supposed to be one
of
the stages of the operation. Thus, it will turn out to kill two birds with one stone.
Price. There is an opinion that breast augmentation price Turkey is a lot of money and it is
not groundless. This
procedure is really quite expensive. Lipofilling in this aspect stands out favorably against the background of
implantation, because it usually cost breast augmentation a little cheaper due to the fact that
only the operation
is paid for and there is no additional cost item in the form of buying implants. By the way, to save a little
more,
you can have mammoplasty in Turkey, the price of any plastic surgery in this country is below average.
Disadvantages
Lipofilling is not suitable for everyone. For those girls who want to enlarge their breasts by two or more
sizes,
this method will not work, because the operation involves only a slight increase. Also, for very thin girls,
from
whom it is impossible to extract adipose tissue without harm to the body, lipofilling is contraindicated.
Contraindications to surgery
The procedure is not performed 3 days before and after menstruation. This increases the amount of edema and
complicates recovery.
Lipofilling should not be done during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
It is forbidden to carry out this procedure and those who have any breast diseases. Especially cancer.
Chronic skin pathologies are also a contraindication.
Insufficient amount of adipose tissue. Taking fat from a patient who is too thin can lead to health problems.
Rehabilitation period
The length of time spent under the supervision of doctors depends on the type of anesthesia. With general
anesthesia, one day is usually enough, with local anesthesia - several hours. The first results of lipofilling
can
be assessed only after a week, when the swelling decreases. The final result is estimated after a couple of
months.
It is during this period that fat cells take root, and those that fail to do so are absorbed. Usually, the
doctor
prescribes a special gel that needs to be treated with the operation site. This makes the recovery process much
faster and easier.
Lipofilling, like any other breast augmentation surgery, is quite complicated. It requires money, time to
recover
and moral strength. However, the result will definitely be worth all the resources spent.
