Actress and influencer Jade Picon has revealed that she will step away from social networks to undergo a silicone implant procedure. “I dried up and ended up losing the breast volume I had. I visited many professionals, waited for the right moment and decided to wear a silicone prosthesis, something very natural, to recover what I had before, which was what I had liked,” shared the influencer.
According to the plastic surgeon Beatrice Lassancemember of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and Isaps (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), mammoplasty is any plastic surgery procedure that changes the shape and appearance of the breast, making it larger, smaller or more lifted. Jade, is a breast augmentation.
“In the postoperative period of any mammoplasty surgery, which lasts an average of a month, it is essential that the patient always sleeps on her stomach, wears a special support bra to support the breasts and avoid physical exercises, efforts or many movements with the arms ”, explains the doctor.
A procedure that has become very popular
This type of procedure is so popular that, according to a survey published by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), breast surgeries, along with liposuction and abdominoplasty, are among the top aesthetic procedures performed in plastic surgery offices.
However, the various nomenclatures that exist for these breast-altering procedures can be confusing when it comes to telling the plastic surgeon what you want to do. To help in these cases, the surgeon explained what types of plastic surgery exist and when they are recommended.
breast augmentation
Indicated for women who have small breasts or who have suffered from breast reduction due to factors such as pregnancy, aging, breastfeeding, mastectomy or weight loss, this technique consists of implanting a silicone prosthesis, above or below the muscle pectoralis, to give volume to the breasts the breasts, being positioned through an incision that can be made in the armpits, around the areola or under the breasts.
The placement of the prosthesis can be associated with the removal of the skin and the remodeling of the gland in case of flaccidity, which we call mastopexy.
“The size of the prosthesis varies according to the case and must be chosen in an interview between the surgeon and the patient, taking into account factors such as the build, the circumference of the chest, the height. There are different formats of prostheses that must be chosen according to the patient’s proportionality and desire,” says the doctor.
reduction mammaplasty
Ideal for women who have large and disproportionate breasts that cause back pain due to their size and for men who suffer from gynecomastia, i.e. excessive growth of the breasts, reduction mammoplasty aims to remove the mammary glands, fat and excess skin from the region so that the breasts are proportional to the rest of the body.
“The incisions for the procedure can be made around the areola of the breast, or in an inverted T shape, starting around the areola and continuing along a vertical line to the base of the breast and another horizontal line into the breast crease. The size, shape and visibility of the scars after the procedure will vary depending on the case and the size of the breasts,” says the specialist.
Mastopexy
“Also known as a breast lift, mastopexy is the procedure used to correct sagging breasts that occur naturally with the aging process, after breastfeeding or after weight loss. It is performed by removing excess skin from the region, as well as repositioning the areola and breast implant, with incisions and scarring in the same way as reduction mammaplasty. This technique can also be combined with a silicone implant to give volume to the breasts, called mastopexy with the insertion of a breast prosthesis,” says Beatriz Lassance.
The results are more visible
According to the plastic surgeon, in all three cases the results are visible immediately after the operation and the pre and post-operative care are the same. Cigarette use and alcohol consumption in the week preceding the operation and fasting from solids and liquids in the eight hours before mammoplasty.
“It is also important to point out that any of the procedures mentioned above should only be performed after the age of 18, when breast development is already complete, and that you should speak with your plastic surgeon before performing them. Only he will be able to make a complete assessment of your breasts and body and advise you on the best procedure for each case,” says the surgeon.
Why do celebrities take off their prosthetics?
Many celebrities are getting prosthetics out of fear of lymphoma, ASIA syndrome and capsular contracture. After all, is it necessary to change? Are these problems with silicone implants common? A BAPS (Brazilian Association of Plastic Surgeons) makes it clear that cases are rare and there is no reason to panic.
“This topic has been very prominent in the media in recent years. Manufacturers’ warnings about the risk of capsular contracture and cases of lymphoma – a rare type of cancer – associated with implants have left many concerned. Also, another concern was related to ASIA syndrome, when silicone can trigger an immune reaction that causes the body to attack itself. But there is no reason to be alarmed, worried and run to offices to remove the prostheses. These are very rare cases,” explains plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Lobo Botelho, president of BAPS (Brazilian Association of Plastic Surgeons).
According to BAPS, statistics show that, over time, even as the chances of problems with implants increase, such as capsular contracture (hardening of a capsule that the body forms around implants, leaving them hard and sometimes painful) or even rupture, most likely nothing will happen. In the case of cancers, data from the US National Cancer Bank, from 2008 to 2018, show that breast implant-related anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) occurred at a rate of 8.1 per 100 million people per year. year.
“In this case of this rare type of lymphoma, the cure rates are quite high,” says the doctor. According to the Brazilian Society of Mastology, cure rates exceed 90% of cases and most patients are treated with only the removal of the implant and the capsule, without the need for chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
BAPS emphasizes that breast surgery must be performed by a plastic surgeon. “The plastic surgeon can evaluate case by case and, together with the patient, decide on the best solution. The plastic surgeon must carry out a correct and detailed assessment of the patient’s health before the operation, clarify in detail the entire procedure that will be performed and carry out a rigorous follow-up in the postoperative period to minimize any risk and disappointment of the patient.” , concludes the president of the association .
