About the service

Breasts symbolize femininity, beauty and health, which affects women's self-esteem. After pregnancy and breastfeeding, the shape and firmness change. These changes affect not only appearance, but also psychological state, causing a feeling of uncertainty or discomfort.

This problem is solved by a breast lift - a surgical procedure aimed at contour correction, which changes the appearance and restores self-confidence.

Breast lift
Why do you need a lift?

Ptosis is not just a visual problem. This is a psychological discomfort that causes depression. And when firming exercises no longer work, surgical breast lift becomes the optimal solution.

Similar procedures can be performed as a breast lift without implants, or with their simultaneous installation.

The choice of breast correction method and the decision to perform surgery should be based on consultation with a specialist who will help you choose the best option based on your individual condition and desired result.

Key safety points: who should avoid mammoplasty

Mastopexy is a surgical procedure that can bring many women the desired changes in breast shape and volume. However, it is important to remember that, like any operation, it has its limitations and contraindications.

The main factors in which it is recommended to refrain from such intervention are some serious diseases. These include:

  • Cardiovascular system problems
  • Oncological diseases in the active phase
  • Diabetes

In case of blood diseases, such intervention should also be considered with caution.

In addition to medical conditions, there are other reasons why mammoplasty may not be recommended. These include:

  • Mental disorders
  • Recent trauma or extensive damage to the skin in the chest area
  • Women who are breastfeeding or planning pregnancy
  • Patients under 18 years of age

You should also refrain from surgery during periods of exacerbation of chronic diseases or acute infectious processes accompanied by fever.

Contours and beauty: all about breast lift techniques

In the field of plastic surgery, there are many techniques that help correct the shape of the breast, making it more toned and attractive, even without the use of implants. These methods are developed taking into account the individual anatomy of each woman and the degree to which breast shape changes over time.

When choosing a method, it is important to take into account not only the degree of shape change, but also the individual wishes of the patient. Only after a thorough examination and consultation with a specialist is a decision made about which method will be most suitable.

Basic methods of breast correction:

  • Periareolar correction This method is suitable for those who are experiencing minor to moderate changes in breast shape. During the procedure, an incision is made around the areola, which minimizes the visibility of the stitch after healing.
  • Vertical correction is chosen for moderate changes A special feature of this technique is a vertical incision from the areola to the base of the breast, which makes it possible to tighten the breasts and give them the correct shape.
  • T-shaped correction For women with severely altered shape, more complex intervention may be required. This method involves creating a T-shaped incision, which allows the doctor to correct the shape of the breast with maximum efficiency.

Spectrum of preparation for mammoplasty

Breast reshaping surgery is an important and responsible decision that requires careful preparation to ensure optimal results and minimize the risks of complications.

Research and diagnosis

The first stage is a diagnostic consultation with a surgeon, during which the current condition of the breast is assessed. Using specialized methods, the degree of ptosis is measured, and the optimal location for the future incision is determined. The surgeon and patient discuss preferences regarding the future shape and size of the breast. In some cases, if the desired breast volume exceeds the available tissue resources, implants are considered.

Patients over 40 years of age or with a history of breast diseases are recommended to consult a mammologist. Additional tests, including ultrasound and mammography, may be required to evaluate the condition of the glands.

Personal readiness

An important aspect of preparation is the physical and psychological well-being of the patient. It is recommended to carefully monitor your diet, enriching it with meat, fruits and vegetables. Rest and good sleep are also important.

Smoking negatively affects wound healing. Therefore, at least two weeks before surgery, the patient should stop smoking.

It is necessary to take into account the effect of certain drugs on the healing process. Medicines that affect blood clotting, such as aspirin, should be stopped 14 days before surgery and should not be taken for a week after surgery.

After mammoplasty, you will need specialized compression garments.

General information

Optimal correction: adaptive mastopexy

Changes can affect both the breast and breast skin, and each case requires an individual approach.

Many people mistakenly believe that only installing implants can restore their former shape. However, not everything is so simple. In some cases, when the mammary gland decreases in volume, but the skin retains its elasticity, installation of implants may indeed be sufficient. However, this option is rare.

In situations where both the skin and the mammary gland have undergone changes, and the patient does not want an increase in breast volume, mastopexy can be performed without additional manipulations. In this case, the doctor will use the patient's glandular tissue to form a new, more attractive breast shape.

There are also more complex cases, for example, when a woman has overly large breasts. This condition, called gigantomastia, requires not only a tightening, but also a reduction in volume. Thus, correction may include reduction mammoplasty.

The main principle of choosing a correction method is to understand and take into account the anatomical and individual characteristics of each patient. A consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon will help determine which technique will be best in a particular case.

Strategies for aesthetic breast correction: how to do a breast lift

Breast lift is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery. This operation allows you to restore the natural shape and elasticity.

  • Minimum correction. For women whose breasts have slightly lost their firmness, implants may be the optimal solution. They fill and shape without the need to remove skin
  • Correction through the areola. When the changes are subtle but still noticeable, the surgeon may make a small incision around the areola. This method minimizes the visibility of the seam and is ideal for mild ptosis
  • Vertical technique. If a woman has severe cutaneous ptosis or glandular ptosis, then preference is given to a vertical incision. It starts from the areola and goes down to the inframammary fold
  • Anchor breast lift. The most comprehensive approach is used in the presence of severe ptosis. It involves removing skin from the areola, side and bottom of the breasts, providing maximum lifting

Breast lift is usually performed under general anesthesia. The procedure time varies, but in most cases it takes between one and three hours. The duration depends on the chosen technique and the individual characteristics of the patient.

Stages of mammoplasty surgery: how a breast lift is done from marking to recovery

A breast lift with implants, known as a mastopexy, is a complex surgical procedure designed to improve shape and volume. Let's consider the main stages of the operation.

  1. Preliminary marking. Before the operation begins, the surgeon marks the surgical area. In this case, the patient is in an upright position. The markings not only indicate the location of future incisions, but also take into account individual characteristics, including breast asymmetry.
  2. Anesthesia and incisions. For the patient's comfort, general anesthesia is used. The surgeon makes incisions around the areola, vertically down and along the inframammary fold.
  3. Correction and installation of implants. Once access is achieved, the doctor removes excess skin and glandular tissue. The next stage is the formation of a place for the implant, after which it is installed in the prepared bed. Taking into account the new position of the implant, the nipple also moves to the optimal position.
  4. Finishing touches. After installing the implant and correcting the shape of the breast, the surgeon installs a drain to remove excess fluid and applies absorbable sutures. At the end of the operation, the patient is put on a compression garment to support the breasts in the desired position during the healing process.

Mammoplasty time varies from 1.5 to 3.5 hours. Upon completion of the operation, the patient is transported to the intensive care unit for awakening from anesthesia and initial observation.

Life after mammoplasty: stages of recovery and self-care

Once the choice of breast lift technique is over and the procedure is completed, one of the most important stages begins - recovery. The entire process, from the operation itself, which lasts about 90 minutes, to final healing, is worth considering in detail.

The first hours after mammoplasty are the most critical time. Immediately after the operation, the patient is moved to the intensive care ward, where she wakes up under the supervision of specialists. Then, already fully conscious, she is transferred to a standard ward for further recovery. All this time she will be wearing specialized compression garments, which will speed up the healing process and minimize the risk of complications.

The professionalism of the surgeon is a guarantee that the risks of extensive hematomas, infections or loss of sensitivity are minimal. However, some body reactions, such as swelling, are considered normal and go away without additional treatment.

A gradual return to everyday life occurs within a few days. However, complete recovery takes about a month. To ensure the successful completion of the rehabilitation stage, the patient meets with the surgeon several times, the first time a week after the operation.

It is recommended to wear compression underwear for about a month. It not only provides comfort, but also helps maintain the achieved shape.

The final result may vary depending on the individual characteristics of each woman, but in general it remains long-term and does not affect the possibility of becoming a mother in the future.

When I first thought about hair transplantation, I had many doubts and questions. I heard various stories - from successful to not so much. However, my intuition told me that it could change my life for the better, and I decided to have this procedure. The process was not as scary as I imagined. Alexander Gulyaev did everything carefully and thoroughly. I felt like I was in good hands. The first few days after the operation were a little uncomfortable, but this is completely natural. At first, I came to Alexander Gulyaev for injections once a week, then once a month, once every 2 months. And now, almost a year later, I look in the mirror and see a completely different person. Not just new hair, but a huge boost of confidence. The smell of fresh air for my well-being! Who would have thought that a hair transplant could be not only a physical but also an emotional transformation? I would advise everyone who is thinking about such a procedure to take a step forward. It is really worth it!

Very good clinic, wonderful, friendly staff! I had an appointment with Gulyaev Alexander Valerievich and was extremely satisfied! We communicated with Alexander Valerievich more than once during the initial appointment and further consultations. Since I am a very scrupulous person, it was difficult for me to choose a clinic for transplantation. Alexander Valerievich was always friendly, explained everything clearly and in detail. The procedure itself was stress-free, calm, with conversation. Visually looked 15 years younger

I turned to Aleksandr Valerievich for help with eyebrow transplantation. Appearance is very important for women and the choice of a doctor was very tough. But, after the initial consultation, I had no doubts. He explained everything in great detail, reasonably relieved my fears, and also answered my questions after the procedure. The result exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Aleksandr Valerievich!

Thanks to the reviews on the site, I went to have surgery with Ivan Aleksandrovich. I confirm every kind word about him. He is a great professional in his field. The suture looks very neat and aesthetically pleasing, he preserved the shape and volume of the mammary gland, despite the fact that he had to remove a fairly large part. The doctor inspires calm, confidence and a positive attitude. Ivan Aleksandrovich is very caring towards patients. You will definitely not feel embarrassed or afraid. Everything is very comfortable, professional and somehow very sensitive in a human way. A great doctor and person!

I had bald spots on my bangs since childhood, and about 5 years ago I thought about a transplant, read about different methods and, as a result, the results, recently hair transplantation in Turkey has begun to gain popularity - I read, weighed the pros and cons. I analyzed the market in Moscow, found a clinic on recommendation where Alexander works, held a meeting - received detailed information and a description of my case. One clinic indicated 3500 FUE, another 4800 grafts. Alexander indicated that there is no point in doing more than 2800 grafts (FUE), i.e. the issue of profit and earnings was not in the first place. The choice was obvious. The operation went off without a hitch, Alexander masterfully conjured over the head, the assistant girls constantly encouraged and communicated. From the very first week, regular relief of the patient's condition and well-being, ozone weekly, after 3 months they began to inject vitamins. And the complexity of my case is that the hair is light (blond), thin and low hair density. After 5 months the result is super: clear contour, density, absence of any hints of hair loss of transplanted hair. I definitely recommend it!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my doctor, Alexander Valerievich Gulyaev, for the excellent result! I came to him with a problem of hair loss. 3,000 grafts were transplanted. The result after 5 months was already amazing! Many thanks for the professionalism in the operation and advice on maintaining the result. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the doctor is always in touch and, either himself or through the clinic staff, always answered all questions.

Проходила операцию по поводу фиброаденомы молочной железы у Ивана Александровича, и он впечатлил меня на всех этапах: от диагностики и консультации до подготовки к операции и внимательного наблюдения после неё. Его аккуратность в перевязках, готовность помочь и внимание к восстановлению — это настоящий эталон для врача. Операция была проведена настолько профессионально и ювелирно, что иногда даже другие врачи не могут сразу найти шов! Огромная благодарность! Если вы выбираете врача, могу смело рекомендовать Ивана Александровича.

Уважаемый Шерали Раджабалиевич! Огромное спасибо за быстрое, четкое и безболезненное удаление фиброаденомы из груди. Все прошло очень быстро и психологически комфортно, после операции я даже не потребовала обезболивающих. Вы внимательно и чутко отнеслись к моим просьбам, и я безмерно благодарна за то, как гладко прошел весь процесс. Шов получился аккуратный, ровный и зажил без проблем. Два разных врача на перевязках сделали комплимент вашему мастерству! Желаю вам всего наилучшего и удачи в вашей работе!

Рак правой молочной железы — операцию проводил Иван Александрович. Это действительно врач от Бога, с золотыми руками! Работа на высшем уровне, швов почти не видно, все сделано ювелирно. Он очень внимателен, даже когда был уставшим после нескольких операций, приходил в палату по несколько раз, чтобы узнать, как я себя чувствую. Желаю, чтобы таких врачей было больше!
