The cost of breast lift and correction surgeries. Mammoplasty, lifting, tightening

What is most important in a woman's appearance? Facial features are freely adjusted with cosmetics, the shape of the legs, in our age of unisex, is reliably hidden by a trouser suit, and a short haircut gives a certain extravagance. And only beautiful breasts make a woman sexy, attractive and irresistible.

It is the breast in the mind of a woman that becomes the criterion for the compliance of her image with a certain ideal of beauty, and the impossibility of achieving this ideal is the cause of internal dissatisfaction, discomfort and low self-esteem.

Conservative and minimally invasive breast correction methods

The pages of the Internet and various medical publications are full of articles and recommendations, the authors of which are trying to help women choose ways to achieve perfection.

An important and sometimes decisive factor in this choice is the question of how much it costs to make a breast, satisfying the woman's idea of ​​an alluring ideal. Breast correction methods are usually divided into two main groups: conservative and surgical.

The following are usually considered as conservative methods:

• cold and hot shower;
• masks;
• compresses and wraps based on herbs and essential oils;
• rubbing toning and tightening creams;
• special diets;
• massage and physiotherapy exercises using weights.

These procedures are methods of exclusively cosmetic breast skin care. and any changes in breast configuration and volume should not be expected from their use.

Be careful! Using advice from the category of "grandmother's recipes", in which compresses from a saturated decoction of hops, applying a mesh with iodine solution or the use of mustard plasters for breast augmentation are recommended, will distract a woman from thinking about how much it costs to make a breast for a long time. Elimination of burns and their consequences on the skin surface will become more urgent.

There is also a medical method for breast augmentation., which consists in the use of drugs containing female hormones: progesterone, estrogen and prolactin.

These hormones determine the growth rate of glandular tissue and are produced in the female body in proportions that ensure a healthy balance of hormonal levels.

The use of such drugs is justified only to correct certain problems in the field of gynecology, while breast growth is just a side effect.

Hormonal imbalance due to their intake can lead to quite unpleasant consequences for the woman's body, which even experts cannot predict.

Mammoplasty - correcting nature's mistakes

Mammoplasty - the field of cosmetic surgery, which is based on the development of methods for reconstructively changing the shape and size of the breast, as well as correcting its individual parts to achieve an aesthetic appearance of this organ.

As part of mammoplasty, plastic surgery techniques are being developed to eliminate the following breast defects:

1. Micromastia - abnormally small breasts, which are a congenital defect or a consequence of post-lactation atrophy (abnormal breast reduction during the post-lactation period).
2. Mastoptosis - sagging breastscaused by age-related changes or the previous long period of lactation.
3. Asymmetry - conspicuous differences in the volume and shape of the right and left breastdue to their uneven use during lactation, genetic reasons, as well as mechanical injuries associated, including with previous operations.
4. Macromastia - abnormally large breaststhat bring the owner significant discomfort and even threaten her health (the possibility of cervical and thoracic osteochondrosis, and then kyphosis - a hump in the thoracic vertebrae).

The use of any type of mammoplasty surgery is contraindicated for the following disorders in the body:

• chronic somatic diseases (diseases of the cardiovascular system and internal organs, diabetes mellitus and endocrine disorders);
• decreased blood clotting and various hematological diseases;
• pregnancy, lactation and post-lactation period;
• oncology;
• the presence of benign tumor formations in the breast;
• high degree of obesity.

Thread lifting

Women who are not particularly concerned about how much it costs to make a breast, but who come into a state of trepidation at the mere thought of surgery, should pay attention to minimally invasive methods that occupy a kind of intermediate position between conservative and surgical.

They do not require deep incisions in soft tissues, are carried out mainly on an outpatient basis and under local anesthesia, and do not entail a long period of postoperative recovery. The latest development in the field of minimally invasive breast correction is thread lifting.

Thread lifting is positioned as a reliable means of preventing the development of mastoptosis in the early stages of its manifestation, if a woman's breast size does not exceed the third.

During this procedure, the patient's breasts are stitched at several levels with special threads that penetrate the subdermal layer at a depth of no more than 3-4 mm.

The stitching creates an invisible subcutaneous bra structure that holds the breasts in an aesthetic position. Currently Most filament breast lift surgeries are performed using biodegradable (absorbable) sutures.

They allow for re-correction of the breast without using the procedure of removing the previously installed lifting contour. Chemical compounds, which are products of the breakdown of filaments in a biologically active environment, act as catalysts for the synthesis of filamentous collagen and elastyl molecules.

This helps create a natural bust support frame. Below is a table containing the comparative characteristics of the threads most common in the practice of domestic clinics and the cost of the procedure.

Lipofilling

Lipofilling is another type of minimally invasive breast surgery. It is aimed at women who, in principle, do not accept the installation of endoprostheses, but who dream of breast augmentation by 1-2 sizes.

The same procedure allows you to eliminate the slight asymmetry of the mammary glands., without resorting to surgery, or "finalize" the appearance of the bust after using more cardinal methods of mammoplasty.

The lipofilling procedure consists in increasing the volume of the mammary glands by transplanting the patient's own fat cells (adipocytes).

In this case, the graft is removed from areas of her body that have excess fatty tissue (abdomen, thighs and buttocks), which in itself is useful in terms of improving the aesthetic appearance of the figure.

The resulting fat is specially processed. Then, the emulsion of adiopocytes by metered injections is evenly and at different depths distributed in the tissues of the breast, forming the volume and contours of the future bust.

Despite the apparent simplicity of the method, its implementation requires specialized and expensive equipment., which is not available in all plastic surgery clinics.

Adiopacytes do not tolerate high blood pressure. That is why, when performing the lipofilling procedure without the use of preliminary vacuum expansion of the pockets (cavities) of the mammary glands using the Brava individual wearable vacuum breast enlargement apparatus.

A single dose of transplant administration is limited to 100 ml. The use of the Brava system makes it possible to increase the total transplant dose to 200-300 ml, which corresponds to breast augmentation by 1-1.5 sizes.

The peculiarities of the blood circulation of the mammary glands do not allow reaching 100% of the survival rate of adiopacytes.The final assessment of the results can be obtained after 3-4 months.

There is a high probability that after the absolutely flawless conduct of the first procedure, a second one will be needed, performed in the same way as the first. Naturally, the cost of corrective action will not be much lower than the price of the primary procedure.

The cost of a single lipofilling in Moscow ranges from 100 to 200 thousand rubles. Carrying out a cycle of procedures is equalized in cost with operations for installing implants.

However, no matter how much it costs to do this, lipofilling does not reward the patient with the endoprosthesis disguised with a subdermal layer, but with a sexy and attractive natural female breast.

Some plastic surgery clinics in the Russian Federation advertise the Swedish drug Macroline, which is the development of the Q-Med corporation, as a material for injections for breast augmentation.

The drug is registered by Roszdravnadzor of the Russian Federation (No. FSZ 2009/05139). In some European countries, Macroline is banned for use due to a significant list of complications. In the United States, he did not pass preliminary inspection by the sanitary inspection authorities.

Operational methods

Augmentation surgery mammoplasty

Breast augmentation with endoprosthetics (placement of a breast implant) is one of the most popular mammoplasty operations.

A woman who comes to an appointment with a plastic surgeon on this particular issue no longer cares how much the operation costs.

She has already come to terms with the inevitability of surgical procedures and the tedious postoperative period of recovery of the body. She wants to "make breasts", so she is ready for anything.

The main motivations for surgery are:

• harmonization of the size of the mammary glands with the overall size of the body;
• correction of the shape of the mammary glands to give them a more aesthetic appearance;
• correction of asymmetry in the size and shape of breasts.

Augmentation mammoplasty operations are performed using general anesthesia.

Installation of implants is carried out through incisions made in one of the following ways:

• submammary - is performed in the inframammary fold, which ensures that the remaining scar is hidden by the overhanging breast;
• periareolar - performed along the lower border of the pigmented areola of the nipple, which makes it invisible;
• axillary - allows the use of endoscopic techniques when installing the implant, which reduces the traumatism of the operation, and more reliable fixation of the implant.

Upon completion of the installation of the implant, the incisions are sutured. The effectiveness of the operation and the aesthetic perception of the results of its implementation largely depends on the materials used.

Breast implants

In plastic surgery of the mammary glands, mainly fourth-generation silicone implants are used.

They have a shaping silicone shell made of a relatively rigid elastic material filled with a cohesive (viscous) silicone gel, which gives the endoprosthesis the necessary elasticity and retains its original shape even if the integrity of the outer shell is broken.

To prevent excessive compression of the implant by the capsule of the connective tissue (capsular contracture) that forms over time after the implantation of the endoprosthesis, implants with a textured shell have been developed.

This shell allows the threads of connective tissue to pass through, which provides a decrease in the encapsulation effect and a more reliable fixation of the endoprosthesis at the site of its installation. The shapes and sizes of breast implants vary considerably.

The closest in shape to the natural outlines of a woman's breast are implants in the form of a flowing drop (anatomical). Such implants are widely used in breast correction operations for micromastia and asymmetry.

To eliminate mastoptosis, round implants are often used. The sizes of implants are usually determined by the volume of the filler, and the milliliter is used as a unit.

The use of a 150 ml implant for the formation of the breast corresponds approximately to the increase in breast size by one unit. There are breast implants with variable filler volumes.

When using such endoprostheses, the surgeon fills the implants with gel after fixing them in the place of installation, which makes it possible to more accurately select the optimal size directly during the operation.

In the assortment offered by domestic clinics, you can find breast endoprostheses from almost all leading manufacturers leading in the industry.

The list of these companies and some characteristics of the endoprostheses they produce are summarized in the table below.

The selling prices for implants, that is, the prices at which plastic surgery clinics receive implants from manufacturers, is a strictly guarded commercial secret.

On the Internet, from one article to another, the values ​​of the maximum and minimum prices for Mentor implants wander, which, according to the authors, form a corridor of prices for endoprostheses of any manufacturer.

These values ​​correspond to the range of $ 575-2200 per endoprosthesis. In terms of the prices of Russian clinics, the cost of one implant should be 35-150 thousand rubles.

Cost of breast augmentation surgery

When determining the cost of the operation, consideration should be given to the cost of materials, depreciation of equipment, clinic rent, and staff costs.

The cost of the operation includes the following cost items:

• payment for the work of a plastic surgeon (how much, according to the master, it costs to make a breast that meets the patient's requirements);
• payment for equipment and operating room depreciation;
• percentage of the operation received by the clinic;
• the cost of implants, which is usually 10-50% of the total cost of the operation;
• the cost of preoperative analyzes (usually 10-15 thousand rubles);
• the cost of performing anesthesia (5-10 thousand rubles, depending on the duration of the operation);
• payment for a post-operative stay in a hospital (depending on the clinic, a day of hospital stay is 2-8 thousand rubles).

Calculation results can vary significantly depending on the reputation of the surgeon, the prestige of the clinic, the cost of implants and the geographical location of the operation.

Naturally, operations carried out in Moscow or St. Petersburg will cost more than in Voronezh or Saratov. Wherein the average cost of the operation will vary within 150-350 thousand rubles.

A number of plastic surgery clinics place advertisements on the Internet that offer augmentation mammoplasty at a higher or lower cost.

Such proposals can be associated either with an attempt to receive dividends from the use of a promoted brand, or with savings on the hardware and technical equipment of the clinic.

therefore when choosing a surgeon and clinic, you should study in detail the price lists for services and other information materialsposted on the official website, paying special attention to the list of practicing plastic surgeons and, most importantly, patient reviews.

Important to remember! Advertisements published on Internet pages and even price lists for services posted on clinics' websites are not a public offer.

The provider may refuse the client to perform the announced service or change its price. The final price for the service is established by an agreement concluded between the provider and the client. 

Mammoplasty in foreign clinics

The growth of the well-being of a certain part of the population, the liberalization of international relations and the constant criticism of Russian medicine in the mass media were for many women the catalysts for the appearance of the seditious idea of ​​carrying out mammoplasty surgery in foreign clinics.

Demand creates supply. And now the leading plastic surgery clinics abroad have opened their doors wide to patients from Russia.

It is worth typing magic words in a browser search engine: "Breast correction abroad RF" and the all-knowing Google will display more than fifty advertisements on the monitor screen, explaining in detail the mechanism of communication with the advertiser and the procedure for registering an exit to the place of operation.

Why are Russian women so kind to foreign Aesculapians? Firstly, they do not get into a state of confusion when they hear how much it will cost, in this clinic, to undergo an operation that corrects their breasts.

Secondly, payment for services, in most cases, occurs in cash, without the use of credit cards and policies of insurance companies.

Third, at the end of the postoperative procedures, they dissolve without a trace in the vast depths of Russia, without acting on the nerves of the surgeon about possible postoperative complications.

According to one of the leading Russian plastic surgeons Vyacheslav Balkizov, the percentage of postoperative complications among Western surgeons is much higher than that of Russian ones.

Moreover, the nature of these complications is such that their elimination, if it is possible at all, requires more serious operations. The average cost of performing augmentation mammoplasty operations abroad is shown in the table below.

An ancient proverb says: "What a woman wants, God wants." This testifies to the immense respect for women that real men have.

So is it worth it, lying under the scalpel of the surgeon, letting him shred her sacred nature. There are many more ways to hide minor flaws in your figure.
