Breast Enhancement

WEBVTT 00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:12.220 The indication to do a breast augmentation is only that the patient wants to 00:00:12.245 --> 00:00:14.480 increase its breast volume. 00:00:14.505 --> 00:00:20.100 To increase the breast size, we must put an implant. 00:00:20.125 --> 00:00:28.540 That implant can be under the gland, or under the gland and the muscle. 00:00:28.565 --> 00:00:32.340 This is important to know the difference, and there are different indications 00:00:32.365 --> 00:00:37.380 to put the implant in that position. 00:00:37.405 --> 00:00:40.420 There are different kinds of implants. 00:00:40.445 --> 00:00:44.060 By its shape, its content, or its surface. 00:00:44.085 --> 00:00:48.900 It all depends on each patient characteristics 00:00:48.925 --> 00:00:52.420 which implant we decide to put inside. 00:00:52.445 --> 00:00:57.660 The best candidate for a breast augmentation is the one that wants to 00:00:57.685 --> 00:00:59.540 increase the breast volume. 00:00:59.565 --> 00:01:03.400 Many patients comes with me asking for breast augmentation, 00:01:03.425 --> 00:01:09.930 but they not only need a breast augmentation, they need a breast lift. 00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:14.460 Because the breast implants don't lift the breast. 00:01:14.485 --> 00:01:18.080 It only keeps volume and projection. 00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:24.600 If the areolar nipple is under the level of the inframammary fold, and we put an 00:01:24.625 --> 00:01:32.340 implant, that breast is not going to be in a good static shape. 00:01:32.365 --> 00:01:40.290 It all depends what's the final shape the patient wants because many patient wants 00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:45.760 an upper fullness in the breast, and some patient wants a more 00:01:45.785 --> 00:01:47.980 natural look in their breast. 00:01:48.005 --> 00:01:55.620 When the patient arrives to my office, I try to explain everything about the 00:01:55.645 --> 00:01:59.540 procedure we're going to perform on her. 00:01:59.565 --> 00:02:06.490 The surgical time of a breast procedure depends on what kind of breast procedure. 00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:12.940 For example, a breast augmentation takes me around between 45 minutes to an hour, 00:02:12.965 --> 00:02:18.340 but a breast lift or a breast reduction takes me around 3 hours. 00:02:18.365 --> 00:02:25.890 The recovery in the breast procedures are less time than in body procedures 00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:32.380 because the breast is fixed in the chest and is not, mobile area. 00:02:32.405 --> 00:02:37.400 Only by using postsurgical bra, it's 00:02:37.425 --> 00:02:43.120 enough to go back to work maybe after 5–7 00:02:43.145 --> 00:02:50.940 days from surgery and more if you don't do a lot of activities at work or at home. 00:02:50.965 --> 00:02:52.820 That's the important thing. 00:02:52.845 --> 00:02:58.700 Try to be calm until you recover from the initial process that 00:02:58.725 --> 00:03:01.460 takes around the 1st month, for example. 00:03:01.485 --> 00:03:02.680 It's important that.
