Hybrid breast augmentation: how to solve the zero size problem

breast augmentation methods with surgery

According to statistics, 24% of women in the world are not satisfied with the size of their bust, and 16% are ready to enlarge it with the help of a plastic surgeon. Among them, almost 30% have zero breast size, which is considered a difficult case in plastic surgery. How realistic is it and what methods are used to enlarge zero size breasts?

In fact, the emergence of this method gave a chance to fulfill their dream of big breasts for those who could not be helped before. If the girl has her second or at least the first breast size, you can stretch the skin and put an implant. For girls without breasts, many surgeons refused to perform the operation. Placement of the implant was not possible due to the unaesthetic result - the breast would look like a ball covered in skin.

What is hybrid correction?

At first, liposuction appeared - a method of removing excess fatty tissue from problem areas: thighs, abdomen, waist. In addition, doctors began to conduct experiments which showed that fat rooted well and could be used as donor material for various body shapes, in areas where extra bulk is needed.

This is how lipofilling appeared, which formed the basis of the hybrid technique. In hybrid correction, using the fat previously absorbed by the patient, a conditional frame or "pillow" is created along the contour of the implant so that it does not look like something separate to the touch. . This avoids the famous tense ball effect. In other words, the implant is "surrounded" by soft fat and looks very natural! After the edema subsides, when the actual result can be assessed, the breast looks natural and remains soft to the touch.

Usually, specialists perform lipofilling immediately, as well as breast augmentation, in one operation, which lasts about 2-3 hours. But there are also cases where the implant is first installed directly, a reduction in edema and the appearance of the real contours of the new breast are expected. It takes about a month, after which you can safely frame the breast with fat.

You must understand that size zero is a completely flat breast, on which only the nipples stand out.

Advantage of hybrid correction

While it is still possible to solve the problem with the lack of skin (the skin is stretched), you should always keep in mind that the skin will stretch to exactly the size of the implant. And the implant itself will be clearly visible and noticeable to the touch. Filling the breasts with fat slightly adds volume and hides the implant under the fat layer for more natural breasts.

Who is this technique for?

First of all, it is recommended for women who do not have their own layer of fat on their breasts and some mammary glands responsible for breast volume - this is the famous "zero" size. It should be understood that size zero is an absolutely flat breast, on which only the nipples stand out (depending on the type of physique of the child).

In the past, many surgeons refused to perform surgery on girls with zero breast size.

If you simply insert an implant with these physiological characteristics of a woman, once the tissue edema subsides, the implant will become clearly visible, right to the edges. For example, this will be noticeable in the anterior axillary region, which is not only aesthetic, but also causes physical discomfort for the patient herself. Imagine that you clearly feel a foreign body within you, that is disturbing you, both physically and emotionally. However, with the classic method of augmentation, nothing else can be done - there is no fatty tissue and the implant is covered only by the skin.

How is the operation going?

First, the surgeon removes fat from areas of the body where it is usually abundant - these are fat deposits on the sides, abdomen, thighs, knees or on the arms. Then the surgeon makes an incision in a specific access area, which is negotiated separately with the patient. Access is possible through the contour of the nipple, in the armpit or in the crease under the breast. Then there is a detachment of the tissue of the gland and the pectoral muscle - this is done in order to form a conditional "pocket" where the implant is placed.

In addition, the fat collected during liposuction undergoes separation - it is purified from plasma and other blood derivatives. Then the cleaned mass is injected through a special fine needle along the contour of the implant.

Usually, such manipulation is sufficient to obtain a stable and lasting result. In very rare cases, the fat can be removed, in which case a second operation is prescribed.

The main advantage of this method is the beautiful aesthetic effect and the comfort of the patients afterwards. After hybrid correction, the breasts appear very natural and are difficult to distinguish from natural to the touch.

Recovery period

From the time of the operation, the first two weeks or a little longer require primary rehabilitation. At this time, the woman will not be able to work, so she will have to take sick leave. As for the pain, it is present in the first two to three days after manipulation, but at the same time it is easily eliminated with anesthetics. After three days, the patient can return home, subject to strict adherence to the surgeon's recommendations.

Two weeks later, an examination and stitches removal are scheduled. At this time, as a rule, the woman gets used to new forms, the initial discomfort passes. You can start to play sports in gentle mode, removing the load on the shoulders and chest. Don't lift heavy kettlebells or make sudden movements.

In addition, during the first month the patient must constantly wear special compression garments - this helps to fix the correct anatomical position of the new breast.

You will be able to admire the final result in about 5-6 months, when the hidden edema subsides and tissue tenderness is fully restored.
