Cosmetic Breast Surgery

Cosmetic Breast Surgery Tunisia

Breast volume and shape are primarily determined by fatty tissue and glandular tissue, although skin elasticity plays a decisive role. This is why many people suggest the use of moisturizing creams. Indeed, dehydrated, stressed, and poorly nourished skin contributes to breast sagging with a consequent loss of aesthetics. Cosmetic breast surgery allows, through several types of intervention, to give more harmony to the breasts.

Breast Augmentation for Fuller Breasts

Breast augmentation makes the silhouette more harmonious

Breast size, like most aesthetic requirements, is exclusively a function of one’s own conception of the “ideal”. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that proportions play a decisive role. At the same size, subjects of slender constitution and longilineal morphological type have a different visual impact from that of other robust and brevilineal subjects.

In case of a positive decision, the choice of the result will be facilitated by an interview with the surgeon, who will also show photos and/or computer simulations. As this is a major and invasive surgery, which would greatly change the appearance, it is good to be clear and to focus on the results one wants to obtain.

What does breast augmentation surgery involve?

The surgeon can perform breast augmentation on an outpatient basis. The operation lasts about 45/60 minutes, under general anesthesia. It consists of inserting silicone implants under the mammary gland or under the muscle and the pectoral aponeurosis depending on the type through small invisible incisions under the areola of the nipple or in the axillary cavity. The shape of the breast will depend on the chosen prosthesis (drop, bonnet, etc.) and its weight.
After the operation, you will stay at the clinic for one day, then you will be free to go home. Then, you will have to follow an antibiotic therapy and rest for about a week.

The stitches fall out spontaneously, unless the doctor decides otherwise. In the latter case, he removes them after about 7 days. For about a month, the patient will wear a bandage and a compression bra. During this period, she will also abstain from any physical activity and heavy work. The patient must follow these instructions to avoid the development of complications (capsular hypertrophy). In fact, during the first month following the operation, the body builds a capsule around the prosthesis, recognizing it as a foreign body. In a small percentage of cases, this normal phenomenon degenerates into capsular hypertrophy, as mentioned above, which may lead to the repetition of the surgical operation.

Breast Lift to Correct Sagging Breasts

Sagging breasts can be caused by genetic reasons, prolonged use of unsuitable bras, significant weight fluctuations, or several of these causes.

Breasts that sag due to genetic reasons are addressed through surgery. On the other hand, if the patient presents breast ptosis due to wearing a bad bra or sudden weight loss, she can regain her previous breast shape with the help of topical creams, a diet, and exercise. If this is not enough, the cosmetic surgeon proposes a breast lift or a mammoplasty.

The surgery consists, in the first case, of reshaping the gland by fixing it higher, at the same time as the removal of excess skin. In the second case, to remove only the excess skin. In some patients, it will also be necessary to reposition the nipple.

The operation requires general anesthesia, but no hospitalization. The surgeon may choose to let the stitches fall out spontaneously or remove them within two weeks. For one month, you will wear elastic bras. There will be almost invisible periareolar scars.

Cosmetic Breast Surgery in Tunisia to Reduce Breast Volume: Breast Reduction

For excessively large and voluminous breasts, cosmetic surgery offers the intervention of breast volume reduction. This is, among other things, a breast lift with removal of part of the mammary gland. The surgeon performs breast reduction in a day hospital under general anesthesia. The patient can leave the facility the next day or after two days for more complex cases. Removal of stitches takes place within two weeks after the operation. As with breast augmentation, the patient must wear a specific bra for about a month. The location of the scars is the same as for the breast lift.

Often, in young subjects, breast reduction is unnecessary because general weight loss is sufficient.
Few cases are aesthetically disproportionate to the point of requiring this intervention. When the surgeon performs breast reduction in a young person, it is often a physical necessity. Large breasts create a significant burden on the back, bending the shoulders and accentuating the kyphotic curvature. However, before resorting to the surgical solution, it would be good to focus on corrective gymnastics strengthening with toning and strengthening of the humerus, adductors of the shoulder blades, extensors of the spine (sacrospinal, ileocostal, very long back, etc.) and the trunk. What is certain is that most of the time, it is simply overweight people who need to lose weight. At most, it is only at the end of slimming, if necessary, that an intervention will be performed.
