Is scarless breast lift possible?
scarless breast lift
After any operation, during which the tissue is dissected and then connected, scars are formed. Breast lift surgery is no exception, which raises a lot of questions, including those concerning the absence or presence of scars. If surgery is performed using the periareolar method, correct suturing and postoperative care will leave a barely visible scar. This method is used only for women with minimal sagging of breasts. This lifting technique makes it possible to achieve good long-term results without coarse scars.
Scarring: types and severity depending on the application technique
After surgery, traces always remain on the body. But in some cases they merge with the skin tone and are almost invisible, but there are distinct ones. Why does this happen and what is the difference?
Scarring of these types:
- Normotrophic. Almost imperceptible, you can only tactilely feel the unevenness of the surface. Visually, they are thin stripes of light color, they do not go beyond the epithelium.
- Hypertrophic . Traces are clearly visible, well felt on the surface, pain is characteristic when touched.
- Keloid type of complications. Scars are bright red and may gradually increase in size. They strongly tighten the skin.
They are usually located under the mammary glands, in the armpit, and also in the areolar area. Less or more severity of scars depends on the epidermis, that is, on its degree of firmness and elasticity. In addition, the formation and size of scars is determined by the way in which sutures are applied. During the breast lift, a classic suture can be used, fixation with a surgical pistol, or a special adhesive to tighten wounds.
Possible formations and methods of getting rid of scars
The site of the incisions, as well as the size of the excised gland tissue, is determined depending on the ptosis of the breast. Scar formation occurs within six to twelve months. In the future, they are almost invisible. But not the place of wounds after surgery can quickly be pulled into an invisible band. There are a number of main reasons why scarring is possible:
- The tendency of the body to form keloids, before plastic surgery it is almost impossible to understand.
- With breast augmentation in 3 or more sizes. Installing implants that are too large entails stretching the skin and wound edges. Typically, after such a lift, hypertrophic scars appear in the inframammary fold.
- Incorrectly chosen suture technique.
- Selected suture material of poor quality.
There are various ways to flatten the skin, minimizing the appearance of scars.
In the case of normotrophic scars, peeling procedures using fruit acids can be applied. In the presence of hypertrophic fibers, cosmetic laser resurfacing therapy is indicated.
Hormonal treatment may be required to remove keloids. In some cases, the doctor prescribes the medications, the action of which is aimed at slowing down the formation of connective tissues. If results are not achieved, correction is performed surgically with an incision in the suture and removal of tension.
Any procedure for smoothing out the skin relief should be performed no earlier than a year after the operation, a year is enough time for the tissues to regenerate. Breast augmentation without scars using the classical technique is impossible. However, it is possible to smooth out various scars.
The likelihood of scarring can be minimized if you follow all the doctor’s recommendations during the recovery period: wearing compression underwear, the use of ointments and creams that promote rapid skin regeneration. Do not forget about taking a complex of vitamins.
