Excessive breast enlargement is equal to self-mutilation

Breast enlargement, some people give it as birthday gifts to relatives and friends, and some men even break into this female "special zone" in pursuit of "majestic appearance" and choose to use prostheses. Beautify your breasts. The rapid expansion of the breast enlargement team, coupled with the Internet's emphasis on pictures and texts of large breasts, the close-up of cleavage in movies and TV dramas, and the focus on female celebrities' breasts in gossip news, have made beauty seekers increasingly demanding breast enlargement in terms of size and appearance. More and more exaggerated.

The over-development of breast function has led to the gradual dilution of the most basic and important nursing function of the breast. In addition, pressure from society and family, lack of aesthetic knowledge, and improvement in economic conditions and many other factors have led to women's increasing investment in breasts, and even the crazy pursuit of big breasts. Little do we know that excessive breast enlargement is tantamount to self-mutilation and requires huge health costs.

This is not alarmist. Because the skin volume and width of the chest are limited, implanting an oversized prosthesis under the skin will inevitably cause excessive skin tension, resulting in compression of the thorax, inability to fully expand outward during breathing, a sense of embarrassment, and even difficulty breathing; secondly, the prosthesis The long-term effects of excessive size and weight sagging will increase the burden on the shoulders, leading to periarthritis of the shoulder, cervical spondylosis, etc.; thirdly, excessively large prostheses are prone to postoperative degeneration due to the effect of body weight, and secondary surgeries are inevitable; finally, Occurs when large breasts make movement inconvenient and socially awkward. In short, remember not to overdo breast enlargement, as too much is not enough.

Ideal breasts = healthy + in line with human aesthetic standards

Breasts are a sign of whether a woman is healthy, young and attractive. Ideal breasts have two elements: healthy and normal and in line with human aesthetic standards. The so-called health refers to the absence of histological lesions in the breasts. The so-called normal means that the breasts are in a normal anatomical position. The female breast is located on the anterior chest wall and is attached to the surface of the pectoralis major fascia. The upper limit of most women's breasts is located between the 2nd rib and the lower limit is between the 7th rib, extending from the sternal edge to the front axillary line. Human breasts will be affected by many factors such as age, development level, nutritional status, genetics, etc. Breast differences between different races and individuals are very obvious. In terms of human aesthetic standards, ideal breasts depend on two basic conditions. : One is the size of the lateral breast process (the protrusion of the outer edge of the breast); the other is the distance between the two breasts (cleavage). Doctors believe that the ideal breast size should be in harmony with height, chest width and protrusion, and should be symmetrical on both sides.

Currently, the only way to make breasts bigger quickly and permanently is through surgery. Surgery is divided into injection breast augmentation and prosthetic breast augmentation.

Injections for breast enlargement. This is achieved by injecting autologous fat: First, make an incision about 1 cm long on the skin of the abdomen or leg (the area where the fat is taken), extract the fat from the abdomen or leg, then centrifuge the fat, and finally inject it into the breast. Posterior space and deep subcutaneous surface. Since the fat particles have no direct blood supply from blood vessels for a period of time after transplantation, 50% to 70% of the fat will be absorbed after surgery. Breast augmentation injections often require multiple injections, and the amount of fat injected each time should not exceed 200 ml. This year, the application of stem cell technology has improved the survival rate after fat cell transplantation and reduced the number of injections.

Breast augmentation with prosthesis. As the name suggests, it is achieved by inserting a prosthesis. It is currently the most effective and most commonly used method. This method first requires making a 2-4 cm long incision in the areola, armpit or inframammary fold, separating a cavity under the breast or pectoral muscle that is larger than the diameter of the prosthesis, inserting the prosthesis, and finally suturing it layer by layer. incision. This method has immediate and permanent effects. The only drawback is that it requires incision of the skin, leaving small scars.

Is breast augmentation surgery safe?

Like other plastic surgery procedures, although fat injection and prosthesis placement are relatively mature, they still have certain risks. The so-called risks are actually surgical complications, such as anesthesia accidents, hematoma, infection, etc. Injection breast augmentation will cause fat liquefaction, cysts, and induration; prosthetic breast augmentation will cause capsular contracture (hardening), breast asymmetry, degeneration, displacement, poor feel, and incision scars. Generally speaking, the probability of this risk occurring is very small. Applicants seeking beauty treatments should choose regular hospitals and experienced doctors, communicate more with doctors before surgery, and follow medical instructions carefully after surgery. These are the best ways to avoid and prevent surgical risks.
