Mammoplasty (Breast Augmentation)

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgeries that allows women to achieve the desired shape, symmetry, and volume of the mammary glands. Breast surgery helps correct aesthetic defects such as insufficient breast size, asymmetry, ptosis (sagging), and restore attractiveness after pregnancy, lactation, or significant weight loss.

Thanks to the professional approach of plastic surgeon Shkirenko Oleksiy, each patient receives an individual surgical plan and predicted results. The surgery ensures a natural appearance, increased self-confidence, and harmonious body proportions.

Techniques and Types of Implants for Breast Augmentation

Plastic surgeon Oleksii Shkirenko uses the most advanced mammoplasty techniques and offers a wide selection of implants, considering the individual characteristics of each patient. The price of breast implants depends on the volume, brand, and shape of the implant itself.

Types of breast implants by shape

Round implants
- Have a symmetrical shape that creates the effect of lifted breasts with prominent cleavage.
- Suitable for women who want to achieve maximum volume in the upper part of the breasts.
- Often used in cases where mammary gland tissues adequately cover the implant.
Anatomical implants (teardrop-shaped)
- Mimic the natural shape of female breasts with a smooth transition from upper to lower part.
- Used to create the most natural appearance, especially in women with a small amount of natural tissue.
- Require greater precision during placement, as incorrect positioning can disrupt symmetry.
Hybrid implants
- Combine characteristics of round and anatomical implants, maintaining natural appearance and volume.
- Used for individual patient requests who want to achieve a universal result.
Implants for asymmetry correction
- Designed for correcting breast asymmetry.
- Individually selected for each patient, considering chest characteristics and existing asymmetry.

Each type of implant is selected considering the individual characteristics of the patient, her desires, and the plastic surgeon’s recommendations.

Mammoplasty techniques:

Breast lipofilling — breast augmentation using the patient’s own fat, suitable for minimal correction.
Combined technique — combination of lipofilling and implants to achieve the most natural result.
Transaxillary approach — implant is inserted through an incision in the axillary area.
Submammary approach — incision is located under the breast fold.
Periareolar approach — implant is inserted through an incision around the areola.

Indications for Mammoplasty

Indications for Breast Augmentation:

Hypomastia (small breast size).
Breast asymmetry.
Breast ptosis (sagging due to age-related changes, breastfeeding, or weight loss).
Recovery after trauma, mastectomy, or other surgical interventions.
Breast hypertrophy or disproportion.
Dissatisfaction with breast shape or size.

Contraindications for Mammoplasty:

Acute infectious diseases or exacerbation of chronic conditions.
Mammary gland diseases (mastitis, tumors).

Patient under 18 years of age.

Breast Augmentation Surgery

Preparation for surgery:
Before surgery, the patient undergoes a consultation with the surgeon, selects the type and size of implants, and undergoes necessary tests (complete blood count, coagulation test, infections, mammography, etc.). It is important to follow the doctor’s recommendations regarding smoking cessation and discontinuation of certain medications.
Surgical procedure:
Mammoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. The plastic surgeon makes a precise incision in the pre-selected area, places the implant, and then applies cosmetic sutures. The procedure takes approximately 1.5-3 hours, depending on complexity.
Rehabilitation:
After surgery, the patient stays in the clinic for several hours or a day for monitoring. Recovery includes wearing compression garments and limiting physical activity for 4-6 weeks. Swelling subsides in 2-3 weeks, and the final result can be evaluated after 3-6 months.
