Although breast augmentation surgery is now quite common, most women considering it only know it as a way to quickly achieve fuller breasts. However, the specific details often remain unclear. Below, we outline the top ten taboos to remember for perfect breast augmentation, deepening your understanding of the procedure.
1. Avoid incisions through the areola or under the breast
Incisions through the areola or under the breast are outdated techniques. A competent plastic surgeon must make the incision in the armpit, ensuring it does not exceed 3 centimeters.
2. Do not exceed the limits of cosmetic surgery
Breast augmentation should not exceed 330 milliliters per side. Surgeons must precisely calculate the patient's limits based on height, weight, bust size, and pregnancy history, providing this information for the patient's reference.
3. Do Not Ignore Body Proportions
4. Always Engage a Qualified Anesthesiologist
Some surgeons lure unsuspecting clients with rock-bottom prices or excessive advertising, then cut corners by skipping professional anesthesiologists and using cheap anesthetics to slash costs and boost profits.
5. Failure to disclose the quality of breast implant materials
Premium materials cost at least twice as much as inferior ones. Beyond price differences, substandard products may rupture or leak. Some practitioners show patients certificates for top-brand products but substitute inferior ones after anesthesia, severely harming consumer interests.
6. No hiring of surgical substitutes
Some surgeons, pressed for time, hire substitutes to perform surgeries, effectively using patients as practice subjects despite their payment.Premium breast augmentation materials come in high, medium, and low grades. Professional plastic surgeons should collaborate with patients to select the appropriate grade based on shoulder width, breast thickness, and areola height.
8. Avoid Inserting Drainage Tubes
Upon completing breast augmentation, some surgeons insert drainage tubes into the patient's chest, claiming they remove accumulated blood to reduce swelling. However, skilled professional plastic surgeons, when combined with hemostatic injections, prevent blood accumulation entirely, rendering drainage tubes unnecessary.
9. Sutures must be removed
Some surgeons use absorbable sutures for incisions, eliminating the need for removal. However, statistics show that while Westerners may have less noticeable scarring with absorbable sutures, Easterners typically experience very prominent scarring. Therefore, it is mandatory to use the finest surgical sutures for axillary incisions, with removal after 7 days ensuring safety and optimal results.
10. Body Fat Grafting Cannot Be Used for Breast Augmentation
Body fat grafting is suitable for procedures like cheek augmentation, forehead enhancement, and temple augmentation, serving as the optimal alternative to micro-injection cosmetic treatments.
