Plastic surgery is shrouded in myths like no other area of medicine. “A woman can not breastfeed after the enlargement procedure,” “implants explode from a pressure drop” – all this is a drop in the ocean, compared with how much in real life there are prejudices in this matter. In fact, plastic surgeons, just like their colleagues, save lives, giving the opportunity to live up to a full potential. This is not only an aesthetic plastic procedure that helps a healthy patient but it is also a reconstructive plastic surgery that serves to restore parts of the body after injuries and illnesses. These are no less serious medical problems and doctors are also trying hard to find new methods of treatment that will not make anyone doubt their safety. It’s time to talk seriously about plastic surgery …

Reconstructive plastic surgery on breast
Probably one of the most difficult challenges for doctors at the moment. The best doctors of the world are struggling to make sure that a woman in the fight against cancer does not lose herself and her femininity. Using innovative methods of surgery, modern physicians destroy the stereotype that cancer forever takes away beauty. Today, the breast can be restored using tissue from another part of the body or using silicone or physiological implants. Microvascular surgical options, which use the patient’s own tissue (most often from the abdomen, hip or buttock) are called DIEP and SGAP. The latest innovation in microvascular surgery is the SADIE method, a new breast reconstruction technique that combines the advantages of the two previous types of procedures especially avoiding the “incompatibility” of the vessels which can lead to tissue rejection.
Development of reconstructive surgery with implants. Today, doctors besides a simultaneous mastectomy (removal of the breast) with reconstruction, carry out a gradual restoration of the breast. This method involves the placement of expanders (intermediate implants) under the skin, over the pectoral muscle of a woman. It is gradually filled with a special solution, and as soon as the skin is stretched and the blood flow returns, the implantation procedure is carried out. Till date, there are expanders that can later become full implants for which a second operation is not needed.
Breast augmentation: Next Generation implants
Most of the myths in plastic surgery are centered around silicone implants. Probably the only option to dispel this myth is to create a radically new product, the security of which will be difficult to doubt. And it already happened. Today, implants are available, filled with a new generation of gel, the transverse bonds between the molecules of which are more durable, and therefore there is no risk of its leakage.
The changes also affect the shape of the implants, which destroys yet another myth about the unnaturalness of the artificial breast. Until this time, most natural looking implants were anatomical shape. However, this form is harder to establish, moreover, it can turn over while deforming the shape. The latest developments take into account these shortcomings: thoracic implants of circular shape have been created that are capable of changing itself depending on the position of the body, just as a natural breast does. For example, the implants from Motiva American manufacturer. In these implants even an electronic chip is embedded which transmits all the necessary information about its state.
Micro rhinoplasty versus the myths of nose plastic surgery
For many, rhinoplasty is associated with a complex operation consist of large number of scars, blood and a long recovery period. Today, thanks to modern endoscopes that can magnify the image many times, microsurgical operations are carried out. To perform such a procedure, few punctures of the mucosa and inside the nasal passages are sufficient. This preserves the integrity of the internal structure of the nose, does not affect the thin vessels, nerve endings and also eliminating the risk of damage to the nasal septum.
Surgery and minimal intervention – concepts combined
The essence of innovative plastic surgery is minimally invasive surgery. This is the right trend of all areas of surgery, and she did not bypass the plastic. Soon the stereotypical perception of plastic surgery will come to an end through the prism of pain, blood, scars. Today, using a modern laser, the cut is carried out at the cellular level, and the technological endoscopes reduce the number and size of postoperative sutures.
Enlargement without Implant
Modern plastic surgery has methods of increasing breast and buttocks without using implants. The procedure that has gained a crazy popularity in the world over the past couple of years is called lipofilling. This is increasing the volume of the breast or buttocks with your own fat tissue. For this, liposuction (pumping out) of fat from places where it is undesirable is first performed. Then the fat cells are specially cleaned and placed in the desired area. One of the procedures of such type is called “Brazilian butt lift”. It has become a real alternative for those patients who want to enlarge the buttocks while not being ready for implants.
Plastic surgery is not just manipulation of the body, but a process aimed at achieving the life goals of the person. The moment is approaching when patients will not think whether the aesthetic satisfaction of risks and consequences is worth. Today, plastic does not make a person “choose between”, but relieves him of the problem as it should be in modern medicine.
