Sex after diagnosis, during treatment, and after. How is recovery after augmentation breast surgery When you can have an intimate life after mammoplasty

Tatiana (32 years old, Odintsovo), 05/30/2017

Good afternoon, Maxim. I have a birthday soon, so I want to give myself a gift in the form of breast augmentation. It is important to note that I want to make breasts in the summer, and during this period I am allergic to pollen from flowering plants. I cannot say that the state is becoming critical, but I feel very bad. Is it possible to do breast augmentation during this period :? What pills to drink during rehabilitation. Thanks for the answer. Tanya.

Good afternoon, Tatiana. I do not recommend breast augmentation surgery during an allergy flare-up. It is worth waiting until there is no allergy in order to carry out a surgical intervention. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Irina (26 years old, Korolev), 05/27/2017

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I am planning to enlarge my breasts, but for this moment I'm still feeding my daughter ( Breast-feeding). Tell me, after what period can augmentation surgery be done? Irina

Good afternoon, Irina. Breast augmentation surgery can be performed only six months after last day lactation. Best regards, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Lilia (25 years old, Moscow), 05/25/2017

Good morning! It so happened that by nature I have very small breasts. I'm worried about the surgery. I'm afraid there will be very visible scars. There will be traces of the operation. Perhaps you can recommend how else you can enlarge your breasts without implants? Are there any recommended shots? Best regards, Lilya.

Hello Lilia! At the moment, I consider the only acceptable method of breast augmentation - plastic surgery with the help of implants. After the operation, the marks remain minimal, and the postoperative scars are difficult to see. Do not worry, as the result after this operation will surely surprise you. Best regards, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Christina (27 years old, Moscow), 24.05.2017

Good afternoon, Maxim Alexandrovich. My friend made breasts for you, and now I want to enlarge my breasts, because after pregnancy I am not at all satisfied with its shape. Tell me, what forms are there? My friend chose the round shape of the implants, but round looks unnatural to my taste. What could you advise in this matter?

Good day! There are enough implants to choose the form that will suit you. The shape can be: anatomical, spherical, teardrop and round. I can only recommend a specific form of implant after I see your breasts and their condition after pregnancy. I propose to sign up for a face-to-face consultation. Best regards, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Olga (25 years old, Moscow), 03/15/2017

I live in another city. How many days should be allocated for breast augmentation surgery? Can I get tested in my city and come only for the operation?

It is possible. First you need to choose the day of the operation. We send you a list of tests and you submit them in advance in your city. On the eve of the operation, you need to come for a consultation, at which the doctor will select implants for you, taking into account your wishes and anatomical features. After the operation, you are in the hospital for a day, then you are discharged and you come to the removal of stitches in 3-4 days. And the doctor lets you go. That is, you will need 4-5 days for the trip.

Olga (28 years old, Moscow), 12/18/2016

Hello? Maksim. I want to enlarge my breasts. How can I if I have stretch marks on my chest?

Good day! The presence of stretch marks does not affect the operation. Unfortunately, the stretch marks cannot be removed. With the help of a cosmetic effect, they can be made less noticeable.

Anastasia (27 years old, Moscow), 11/29/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! My husband and I go to the gym, the weight of the load is not significant, but still ... I want to put implants and I would like to clarify how long it will take to return to sports?

Good afternoon, Anastasia! As a rule, you can return to sports within a month and a half after the operation. However, it will be necessary to learn the permission of the doctor after he assesses the somtoactivity of the seams.

Victoria (32 years old, Moscow), 28.11.2016

Hello, I am a transvestite man, and I want to make myself a female breast (enlarge). What is needed for this, to what size can it be increased, and how much will it cost ??? Thank you in advance.

Good afternoon. The cost of the operation is 250,000. The size and shape of the implants can be determined at the consultation. Implants are placed under the pectoral muscle, the incision remains almost invisible.

Christina (18 years old, Moscow), 09/20/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I have zero breast size, I would like (ideally) a fourth ... I myself am slim, they tell me that there can be a great load on the back. This is true?? I am 18 years old. Best regards, Christina!

Hello Christina! There is no actual limitation in breast augmentation, but an experienced professional will consider every single case. In your case, an increase to a fourth size is probably undesirable. Since there will really be a lot of stress on the back and the risk of an unnatural type of implants. In addition, you will need several surgeries, since surgeons do not perform 4 sizes of breast augmentation at once. More precisely, I can answer your question at a face-to-face consultation. Come and we will help you!

Irina (23 years old, Moscow), 09/18/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I did breast augmentation ten years ago (two sizes, now three sizes). V recent times my chest sagged a little, and it became noticeable that I was wearing implants. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance, Irina.

Hello Irina! We can perform breast lift and implant replacement surgery, which will completely solve your problem. Come to us for a consultation and we will help you!

To my great joy, my call to write was heard, but it turned out that there is a topic that the author cannot post on his own behalf for personal reasons. Therefore, I post her post on my own behalf:

It is clear that cancer patients, as well as in the USSR, have no sex, but instead of feeling a moment of grief and self-pity, I immediately began to count how many months I still have to walk with 2 breasts and think how effective and exciting I will spend this time in bed with husband. The chest was beautiful. Size 3, but I decided for myself that I would do a mastectomy as the doctors advise me.

My husband did not share my enthusiasm, and as soon as I became bald, he refused to fulfill my marital duty, my iron argument that he was also bald and nothing worked. The reminder of the upcoming operation plunged him immediately into a stupor and nullified all my erotic attempts. Having suffered a little, I lagged behind him, especially since 6 courses of red chemistry made me exactly what he was expecting, a green, nauseous aunt who doesn't really need sex. Then the operation, radiation, and now the 7th month of my abstinence went. The husband, under various pretexts, continues to evade, and I sit and think what can be changed. He's an impressionable person, I don't even count on "putting his hand on the seam" as Anya wrote, everything will happen in a bra and, most likely, even in a T-shirt, but so far, even so, it has not been possible to catch him. The problem is in his head - he perceives me as terminally ill and cannot change this attitude. I lead a fairly active lifestyle, I work, I drive, I run a household, and I see no reason to look at me with sad eyes and look for signs of imminent death! As for the reconstruction, I have not yet decided, in any case, I have to wait another 2 years, my husband is 35 and why such a marriage out of pity?

Dear accomplices, we need your good advice and courage to discuss this topic!

Plastic surgery is the most effective method for enlarging the mammary glands. Once in the hands of a good surgeon, a woman will get a beautiful, elastic breast of the desired size.

But the postoperative result does not in all depend on the qualifications of the doctor and the quality of the work performed. The quality of adherence to medical recommendations during recovery period.

Insufficient care of the postoperative scar, refusal to wear compression underwear, earlier return to physical activity and even the wrong posture in bed leads to unpleasant consequences that can negate all the efforts of surgeons.

The first days after surgery

Immediately after the intervention, the woman is sent to the ward for observation.

As you move away from anesthesia, the discomfort and pain in the mammary gland increases. The chest is swollen, there may be bruises in places. This is a normal process that will gradually pass.

With severe pain, the doctor prescribes pain relievers. First, they are administered intravenously or intramuscularly, and after the drugs are given in tablets.

The next day after the operation, the woman's condition returns to normal and she goes home.

Hospital stay

The duration of hospitalization after breast surgery depends on the type of surgery and the patient's health. The woman stays in the clinic for at least a day, with the normal course of the operation this time is enough.

Hospitalization is necessary in order to detect early postoperative complications in time, such as adverse reactions to anesthesia or bleeding.

The next day after augmentation of the breast, the doctor examines the postoperative wound, makes a dressing and gives the woman recommendations for a favorable course of the recovery period.

If, on the first day after the operation, any complications have arisen, then the woman remains in the hospital as long as is required to stabilize the condition.

Compression underwear

Immediately after the operation, the chest is tied with elastic bandages. They fix the glands well and reduce swelling. The next day, during the first dressing, the elastic bandages are removed, the wound is treated, a plaster and special compression garments are put on.

High-quality compression underwear, selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient's body, makes it easier to endure the postoperative period and shorten its period by several weeks.

The composition of the compression garment contains elastane, which allows you to regulate the tension, providing the necessary support and at the same time not squeezing the mammary glands.

The functions of the compression garment are as follows:

• tissue support;
• prevention of seam divergence;
• removal of edema from soft tissues;
• giving the mammary glands the required shape.

In addition, constant compression stimulates the metabolism and regeneration of the epithelium, due to which postoperative wounds heal faster.

Compression underwear should be worn for 3-4 weeks after mammoplasty around the clock, and during the next month it is necessary to wear it on the day and during physical activity.

After removing the compression underwear, you should not immediately put on a chic bra that does not fix your breasts. During the year, you should wear underwear with a dense base, bulky cups and wide straps.

Seam processing

Postoperative sutures must be looked after until a full-fledged scar is formed.

Until the stitches are removed, the wound should be treated with antiseptics recommended by your doctor. This exercise will eliminate the risk of infection entering the wound. Suppuration of the postoperative scar will lead to the fact that the recovery period will increase and, as a result, a rough scar will form.

Removal of stitches is performed 5-7 days after surgery.

Some professionals prefer to use an absorbable suture, so suture removal is not required. However, after 5-7 days, the woman will still have to come for a consultation to assess the quality of healing.

An important point in the treatment of seams is the use of special creams. Contratubex gel stimulates the formation of new epithelial cells, which leads to the formation of a delicate, invisible scar. Use cream for the regeneration of the epithelium should be after the removal of stitches and wound healing.

Limiting physical activity

For several weeks after the operation, it is strictly forbidden to go in for sports and overwork. The attending physician, depending on the type of operation, stipulates this time.

This does not mean that a woman should lie in bed and not move. A week after mammoplasty, you should do some light exercise to improve the recovery of breast tissue.

Preventive massage after surgery

Breast massage for women with implants should be done continuously. It will prevent the formation of connective tissue around the endoprosthesis and the appearance of stretch marks.

The doctor will tell you when to start massage. Also, the surgeon will tell the patient about massage techniques that will not harm the breasts and will be effective.

How long does the rehabilitation period last?

The duration of the rehabilitation period after breast augmentation depends both on the type of operation and on the quality of implementation of the recommendations.

Let's highlight the following points of the rehabilitation period:

• The return to normal life usually occurs after 2-3 weeks.
• The appearance of the breast is restored in 1.5-2 months, when bruises and swelling go away.
• The rehabilitation period is considered completed only after the restoration of the mammary glands. This is observed after 6 months, when the final effect of mammoplasty is recorded.
• It is believed that the breast tissue itself is fully restored one year after the implantation.

• Constant use of special creams. This is necessary in order for the breast tissue to receive a sufficient amount nutrients and did not stretch.
• Do not shower until the postoperative wound has healed, otherwise infection may occur.
• The first time (7 days) after the operation, you should sleep on your back, then on your side, and only after a month you can lie down on your stomach.
• At the end of the recovery period, you should gradually return to sports.

Losing weight after

Small breasts do not allow large implants to be inserted because they will be contoured and the breast will take on an unnatural shape. With a large amount of adipose tissue, a woman has the opportunity to install large implants that will look natural.

When losing weight, fat deposits are among the first to leave the chest area. This will cause the implant to be contoured and immediately render the breast unnatural. In addition, this can serve as an impetus for the development of complications, in particular, the proliferation of connective tissue around the implant (capsular contracture).

FAQ

For how long are implants placed, do they need to be changed?

It is believed that modern implants have life imprisonment services and you do not need to change them. However, 10 years after the operation, half of the women need to repeat it and the quality of the implants does not matter here. Over time, soft tissues undergo changes, become thinner, and the endoprosthesis begins to contour. Around the implant develops connective tissue, which requires a second operation.

When can the end result be assessed?

The final result is estimated in six months. However, after 3 months, you can assess whether the operation was successful and see the first results.

When can pregnancy be planned after breast augmentation?

Pregnancy can only be planned one year after surgery. It is by this time that the mammary gland is fully restored and ready for breastfeeding.

When can you return to normal life (stress, intimate life, swimming)?

You can fly by plane within 7-10 days after the operation. Heavy sports should be excluded for at least 3 months, and light exercise is allowed after 3-5 weeks, depending on the condition. It is recommended to swim and visit the sauna no earlier than after 3 months.

Intimate life should be excluded for at least a month after breast augmentation. During arousal, blood flow to the tissues of the gland increases, which will lead to an increase in edema and slow down recovery.

When can I shower after surgery?

You can wash using a shower for 5-7 days after the operation, but it is allowed to take a bath only after a month.

Do I have to wear special underwear?

Yes, the patient must wear special underwear, otherwise the result of even the most successful operation will be ruined.

Can I return to diving classes?

After mammoplasty, a woman can lead a normal life as before the operation. The main thing is to meet the deadlines necessary for this. It is allowed to return to diving lessons after a month.

How often do you need to see a surgeon after surgery?

After breast augmentation surgery, there are mandatory examinations with a surgeon. They are held the next day, after 3 days, a week and 10 days. The doctor will then schedule a consultation after 1, 3 and 6 months. However, they are optional and the woman need not attend.

Video: How is recovery after augmentation mammoplasty

Recovery after breast augmentation surgery is a long-term process. In order to significantly reduce the likelihood of complications, a woman must unswervingly follow all the surgeon's recommendations.

The final result depends on how the patient behaves for the first few months.

The rehabilitation period after any operation is associated with some time constraints. Of course, it is better to know about all the difficulties in advance, but because of the excitement, the woman simply forgets to ask the doctor, for example, why it is impossible to have sex after mammoplasty, go to the sea and about many other nuances of the recovery period. Especially for you, the most popular questions are answered by the plastic surgeon Anastasia Borisenko.

Everything you wanted to know, but hesitated to ask!

How long does it take for the body to recover after surgery?

- Everyone has it differently. For some, 2-3 months are enough, for others, rehabilitation lasts about six months or longer. It all depends on the state of health, the complexity of the plastic surgery, how carefully the woman follows the recommendations. The breast becomes completely its own in about 5-6 weeks: the edema goes away, and the tissues regain their former softness and elasticity.

Can i smoke after mammoplasty?

- Nicotine resins have a negative effect on blood circulation and tissue healing. In principle, smoking after mammoplasty is possible, but highly undesirable. In the first 2-3 weeks, it is best to give up this bad habit or at least reduce the number of cigarettes. It is also better not to drink alcohol.

If a woman is fond of sports, when can she resume training?

- In about a month, if the swelling has already gone. The loads should be increased gradually, be sure to wear compression underwear and not make sudden movements with your hands and body. By the way, you can only play volleyball after the doctor's permission.

Is it wise to immediately go on vacation after mammoplasty? Can I sunbathe? Bathe?

- If possible, then you can safely go on a trip in 3-4 weeks. It is best to choose a vacation where there will be no heavy physical exertion and sudden weather changes. You can sunbathe after mammoplasty in a month, but very carefully. Make sure not to get on the scars Sun rays otherwise they will coarsen and become noticeable. I recommend that my patients get an indoor sports swimsuit, especially since they are back in fashion and very comfortable.

The question that worries not only women, but also their men: how long can you have sex after mammoplasty?

— Female body designed in such a way that during intimacy, blood rushes to the chest. Pain and swelling may increase. Therefore, it is possible to have sex after mammoplasty only after a month, and then be careful - inverted extreme positions should be avoided. An important point: contraception. It is better to postpone pregnancy for a year and a half. Give your body a break.

By the way, about the rest. After mammoplasty, can you sleep on your side or on your stomach?

- When it is convenient for you. A simple rule of thumb is that if a movement or posture is painful, avoid it. Theoretically, you can sleep on your side after mammoplasty in 2-3 weeks. I have had patients who have slept in this position on the seventh day.

What is the best way to help the body recover faster? For example, is it okay to go for a massage after mammoplasty?

- Signing up for a massage after mammoplasty is not possible, but necessary! Thanks to this procedure, an elastic capsule is formed without seals and thickenings, swelling goes away faster, local blood circulation and lymphatic drainage are normalized. You can start as early as day 5. Remember to regularly apply moisturizing and firming creams and lotions to your skin to prevent stretch marks and dryness. Be sure to wear compression garments for a year after surgery. Remember, the best result is only possible when the plastic surgeon and the patient work on it together!
