augmentasjonsbrystoperasjon

Augmentasjonsbrystoperasjon, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. This procedure is typically performed for aesthetic reasons, to correct asymmetries, or to restore breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy. The surgery involves the use of implants, which can be made of silicone or saline (salt water), and are inserted either under the chest muscle (submuscular) or behind the breast tissue (subglandular). The choice of implant type and placement depends on the patient's preferences, body type, and surgical goals.

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours to complete. During the surgery, the surgeon makes incisions, either around the areola (periareolar) or around the nipple (inframammary), and inserts the implant. The incisions are then closed with sutures or dissolvable stitches. Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to light activities within a few days and resume normal activities within a week to two weeks.

Complications of augmentasjonsbrystoperasjon can include infection, implant rupture, capsular contracture, and changes in nipple sensation. Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon are essential to monitor the healing process and address any potential issues. Patients should have realistic expectations and understand that the results of the surgery are not permanent, as the implants may need to be replaced over time.
