Increasing the size of the breasts is one of the most common interventions in current aesthetics, an operation in which the Doctor Of The Rivers he is expert.
More than 20 years of experience endorse the work of Dr. Daniel De Los Ríos, a plastic surgeon and one of the leaders in breast surgery in Las Palmas and an expert in achieving excellent results with beautiful, well-proportioned and aesthetic breasts.
Breast augmentation is performed by placing anatomical implants specifically designed to increase the volume of the breasts, which contributes to the result desired by the patients.
There are other techniques to increase the size of the breasts, such as the grafting of fat extracted from the patient himself, an operation called breast lipofilling, in which Doctor De Los Ríos is also a benchmark in his sector.
The latest advances in the use of implants consist of the use of devices made of silicone with a high degree of cohesiveness and micropolyurethane coatings, with which the possibility of rotation or flipping of the implants, as well as the possibility of having a hardening or contracture capsular of the same after surgery, decrease considerably and, consequently, also the patients are increasingly satisfied. With this advance, the breasts show a more natural appearance.
Another of the advantages resides in the absence of superficial wrinkles that often appeared on the old implants, which entailed an extra treatment to attenuate the improvable appearance of the breasts after those interventions.
In the intervention, and when the cases require it, the doctor also uses the patient's own fat, which considerably reduces the possible adverse effects of using substances foreign to the body.
The adequate volume for each breast is obtained after carrying out an exhaustive measurement of the height and diameter of the patient's chest, data that contributes to determine the harmonic breast size with the body.
Once the size of the implant has been determined, Doctor De Los Ríos places it based on the patient's anatomy: submuscular, subfascial or subglandular.
In patients with a small amount of mammary gland and relative physical activity, it is indicated to place the implant under the pectoralis major muscle, while in those people who have enough mammary gland for optimal placement, the subglandular or subfascial location is usually used.
The subfascial implantation is also ideal for patients with a lot of physical activity, such as bodybuilders and patients who perform exercise activities. fitness more intensely and frequently. Also included in these cases are those patients who have highly developed pectoral muscles due to having played racket sports, swimming or similar.
The preparation for the breast augmentation intervention requires the performance of a blood test, an electrocardiogram, breast ultrasound, measurements and photographs of the appearance prior to the intervention.
The intervention, which lasts between one and two hours, requires general anesthesia and is usually accompanied by an overnight hospital stay. The risks are exceptional and may include the possibility of capsular contracture, implant rupture, infection and bleeding, and very rarely increased or decreased nipple sensation.
The breast augmentation intervention requires a series of care after the operation to help obtain the optimal result in less time. These cares include the use of an elastic band to immobilize the area, postoperative manual lymphatic drainage, daily cleaning and treatment and up to four days of rest, avoiding heavy load efforts with the arms so as not to make the pectoralis major muscle work.
