Breast augmentation italy: 40 years of experience at the service of patients

In recent years, patients’ perception of breast augmentation has changed a lot.

Improvements in surgical and anesthesia techniques led to a return of patients’ normal activities to 95% after 24 hours of breast augmentation.

This regardless of where the prosthesis is placed (subglandular or submuscular) or the location of the scar (under the sulcus or at the level of the areola), or the type of prosthesis (anatomical or round).

 

 

Where has there been a major improvement in breast augmentation?

Less than 10 years ago, patients needed highly compressive bandages, axillary drains, intercostal blocks, heavy pain relievers, such as muscle relaxants and opiates.

Today, improvements and new approaches have made all these safeguards useless.

There were also improvements in terms of long-term results: years ago the percentage of re-operations 5 years after primary breast augmentation was 10%.

Now the percentages in the literature have dropped dramatically to 2% of re-interventions after 10 years.

 

 

Are re-operations necessary in breast augmentation italy?

Approaching the always colorful (so to speak) world of social media, we came across influencers who described how their surgeon had assured them, at the time of the important breast augmentation visit, that the surgery was necessary once in a lifetime. (otherwise the patients would not have done it, to name the protagonists of these short videos).

Well, we are not only opposed but also sad to know that at the first visits, a very important moment, the possible complications related to breast augmentation surgery are not explained in the least.

 

Where did these drastic improvements come from?

These changes do not derive from new surgical techniques: what makes the difference is the thought and attention to all the processes that make up breast augmentation surgery:

– patient education and training

– adequate informed consent

– careful preoperative clinical evaluation

– the pre-operative surgical plan

-selection of the right prosthesis

– specific anesthetic techniques for breast augmentation

– Adequate post-operative care

how do we prepare for breast augmentation italy?

Each case of breast augmentation is visited by us twice before performing the surgery, photographed and studied in detail by the surgical team formed by Dr. Diego Cappellina and Dr. Cesare Cappellina.

preoperative analysis is critical for success in mammoplasty

These visits are fundamental: our mission is to put the patient at ease, understand what the wishes and objectives are, study the case and evaluate how we can improve the situation, understanding the starting situation, the patient’s life habits, the his lifestyle.

In the first visit we explain the benefits and limitations of breast augmentation, the complications that can occur and the type of solutions.

During the second pre-operative visit, we analyze blood tests, ultrasound and mammography together with the patient, perform pre-operative photos, understand the type of suitable prosthesis and prescribe post-operative medications.

 

How to manage the delicate postoperative?

After breast augmentation italy usually a trivial pain reliever such as paracetamol is enough to cover the pain.

Thus the postoperative is as light as possible.

We usually recommend that the patient have a person close by, especially the first two or three days.

the presence and help of a family member or friend is important. Mobility and other ordinary activities can be reduced at least for a few days

In conclusion, it is important to arrive ready for surgery, thanks to careful preparation and organized in the post-operative period.

Clinica Cappellina was born from the desire to follow the patient at 360 degrees and provide our experience and reliability

In this way the delicate peri-operative period is faced in serenity and tranquility.
