Breast hypoplasia

DEFINITION: For breast hypoplasia refers to a minimum development of the gland that occurs, almost exclusively, for reasons of familiarity. Are rare genetic diseases that lead to a framework malformation of complete absence of the gland (amastia).

ETIOLOGY: For women in post-pubertal. The size of the mammary gland is complete after pubertal development around 18-20 years. There are also acquired causes of low breast volume dates from breastfeeding (the breast is emptied especially in the upper pole) and after heavy dimagramenti (throughout the gland tends to be reabsorbed and not fill more than the shell skin).

SYMPTOMS: does not have this type of disease symptoms.

DIAGNOSIS : The diagnosis is clinical (Visit Specialist). In the event of mammary always perform prior imaging studies of the gland (ultrasound and / or mammography).

TREATMENT: The treatment is essentially surgical means of breast augmentation with the insertion of prosthesis. The preferential access is around the areola (this allows to hide the scar from the color change) and positioning is almost always retromuscular. Our group uses the best implants on the market (Mentor e / o Allergan) which are guaranteed for life. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and requires a one-night shelter. In this period of time are retained for two drainage collect any minimum blood that normally accumulates and are paraded at discharge.

COMPLICATIONS: In experienced hands, the complications of this surgery are very rare and consist of hematomas , infections and keloid scars in the.

SURGERY OF ADDITIVE MASTOPALSTICA

Indications for surgery

The indication for surgery is when the breast volume causes discomfort in the patient or when the physiological conditions (breastfeeding, Slimming) alter the appearance of the salience of mammary.

Results

The aim of the intervention is to reach the pre-set in the visit after evaluating the physical characteristics and desires of the patient. One of the elements of a woman's beauty is precisely determined by the harmony of the mammary region with that of the hips. Therefore, our goal will be to attain that proportion.

The intervention

It is performed under general or local anesthesia and can last from assisted 40 to 90 minutes. With the greatest respect of anatomy creates a space between the pectoral muscle and chest, then without touching the mammary gland ( which will therefore still be able to produce milk) where you will position the prosthesis. The prosthesis will thus result in a greater projection of his own and will not be palpable because gland located deep. Furthermore, this solution allows to obtain a very stable over time.
