Breast hypotrophy

Mammary hypotrophy in Paris 16

Doctor Fabrice Poirier, your plastic surgeon in Paris 16 and Paris 11, provides treatment for breast hypotrophy in the Paris region.

This mammary hypotrophy is most often bilateral but in some cases it can be unilateral and sometimes require a surgical procedure on the contro-lateral breast to correct a breast asymmetry. The existence of constitutional or acquired breast hypotrophy after pregnancy or diet is a source of significant physical and psychological discomfort. The placement of breast prostheses after a precise clinical examination and listening to the wishes and desires of the patient will provide a lasting solution to this suffering. The future breast volume will be adapted to the morphology of the patient and several tests will be carried out before and during the intervention by using templates in order to set up the volume adapted to the anatomy and the wishes of the patient. Which surgical approach to use in case of breast hypotrophy? Most often, the semi-circular subareolar surgical approach at the mammary areola and breast skin limit will be proposed because of the low cost of scarring. Other approaches (under mammary, axillary, etc.) are possible in the event of mammary hypotrophy, but each have the drawbacks of visibility of the scar (submammary approach) and displacement of the prostheses, especially in a lying position for axillary incision. Doctor Fabrice Poirier, cosmetic surgeon in Paris 16, competent in breast hypotrophy, will answer all your questions on this subject. Which surgical technique to use? Almost systematically, the breast prosthesis is positioned under the muscle, the disinsertion of muscle fibers will remove the risk of contraction. This method, used in breast surgery in the event of breast hypotrophy by your surgeon based in Paris, has the advantage of reinforcing the projection of the upper part of the breast, making it possible to fill the bra well and reduce the occurrence of hulls. peri prosthetic. What type of breast prostheses? The breast prostheses used are highly cohesive silicone gel prostheses, that is to say that the silicone does not spread in the body but remains integral with the breast prosthetic assembly. We have thus seen the disappearance of siliconomics and migration of silicone into the lymph node areas. Can we combine breast prostheses and lipofilling? This technique, known as the composite technique, has been used for a long time and aimed to reduce the risk of perceiving a few waves of the prosthesis, sometimes perceptible internally or under the glandular. The use of prostheses filled with 98% silicone gel has virtually eliminated this risk and the indication for additional lipofilling. What is the lifespan of prostheses? The lifespan of breast prostheses used in the context of breast hypotrophy is extremely variable and depends on many factors ... The physiological variations in weight linked to the vagaries of life mean that it will sometimes be necessary to reconsider the size or the position of the prostheses. It may also be necessary to raise the breast after a few years and therefore to change the size of the breast prostheses. You can then get back in touch with your plastic surgeon in Paris 16 and in the Paris region, for a new operation. Certain complications such as the occurrence of peri-prosthetic shells can lead to the removal of the shell and change the breast prostheses. It is therefore in no way a "revision" with "standard exchange" as certain expressions could wrongly suggest. Breast augmentation and cancer? Breast prostheses have been used for nearly 60 years in breast surgery and their manufacture and conformity are particularly monitored. Breast prostheses are most often used to reconstruct the breasts after the onset of cancer, which should be enough to clear them. The more than exceptional occurrence of very rare very specific cancers of a purely local form does not make it impossible for the accidental occurrence of these cancers in a woman who also carries breast prostheses.
