PLASTIC SURGERY IN MALTA
Breast augmentation in Malta, the operation to give breast volume through silicone implants, has become an intervention increasingly requested by women in recent years. It has often happened to witness episodes that have questioned it such as exaggerated and clearly fake breasts, prostheses that break or risk doing so endangering health, and again, disputes between surgeon and patient in case of problems.
To clarify breast augmentation, the experts of the Italian Society of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, have come up with a handbook. Ten points on which you must have reflected, all the information you must have given and asked for for a safe breast augmentation.
1) Never before the age of 18
In Malta, surgery is prohibited by law before the age of 18: an attempt to admit only mature people to the operation, thus avoiding superficial decisions with a higher risk of repentance.
2) Tell (and ask) the whole truth
During the visit in Malta, the patient must explain to the surgeon all the important facts relating to her health and ask for all the details about the operation, convalescence and possible problems that may occur. And pay attention to the surgeon's behavior. If he aims to operate as soon as possible, if it is not exhaustive and objective, it is better to contact someone else: breast augmentation is still a surgery and as such involves discomfort, pain, convalescence. It is essential to leave the meeting with a serious specialist certain that you have been listened to carefully and that you have obtained all the required explanations.
3) Only if you are in excellent health
Like all cosmetic surgery operations, breast augmentation is elective surgery, that is, freely chosen and performed without urgency. For this reason, it is only done if the health conditions are good, indeed excellent. This means that the values of the blood tests, the results of the chest X-ray, the visit with the anesthetist, and the specific breast exams must be totally reassuring.
4) Do not exceed cup C
It is a law of nature: the bigger the breasts, the more they tend to sag over time. To avoid incurring the unsightly effect of sagging breasts and not to arouse too many suspicions (the more the décolleté is prosperous the more it suggests the passage of the plastic surgeon) it is better not to exceed the cup C. That is a full but not excessive breast.
5) Establish immediately who will pay for any future interventions
Like all surgeries, even breast augmentation can have unwanted effects. In particular, the body can "attack" the prostheses, covering them with fibrous tissue. It is the so-called encapsulation: harmless to health but certainly dangerous for aesthetics, given the often asymmetrical and unnatural results to which it gives rise. When encapsulation occurs, the prostheses should be removed and placed in a deeper plane, i.e. under the pectoral muscle (if they have not already been placed under the muscle). In other cases, mastopexy may be necessary after several years, that is, the remodeling of the breast which physiologically tends to decline with age and for this reason the upper edge of the prosthesis becomes evident. Before undergoing breast augmentation it is important to clarify who will pay for these, if any, further interventions.
6) Lipofilling, if you want to avoid future interventions
No to breast augmentation if you exclude, even after several years, to undergo further surgery. In these cases, the only option is to use your own fat. With lipofilling, this is taken from the abdomen or hips, purified, centrifuged and then transferred to the breasts. Compared to breast augmentation, the increase is minor, but still has two advantages. The first is the absence of scars (the fat is transferred into the breast through small injections); the second is the certainty of not having to intervene again - after breastfeeding, weight loss or menopause - to prevent the prostheses from becoming evident.
7) Think about it first, to avoid trouble later
The concept of beauty is not the same for everyone. Seeing the surgeon's photo book, with images of other patients before and after surgery, allows you to understand if you share the same aesthetic ideal. Otherwise, better leave: any repentance afterwards is more unpleasant and painful than the hypothesis of starting a new search.
8) Find out as much as you can about prostheses
The PIP scandal, Malta prostheses at risk of breaking 5 times more than the others, has made school. And it proved that the differences in safety can be huge. For this reason, before undergoing the operation it is essential to ask the surgeon the name of the company that produced the prostheses. Today, the market is dominated by a few large multinationals, which guarantee the highest standards of quality and safety. No, however, to small producers, improvised and little known.
9) If you are thin, the prostheses must be put in a certain way
The position also matters. Depending on the case, the implants are placed under the mammary gland, under the pectoral muscle or in a partially submuscular position (according to the so-called Dual Plane technique). With only one "general rule": in thin women, to be well disguised, the prosthesis must always be placed under the muscle.
10) Think carefully about the motivation that pushes you
to the intervention No to interventions to please someone, no to operations to get closer to an aesthetic model. The intervention is "correct" only when it is useful to create a correspondence between the patient's body image (that is, with the way it is seen) and her real physical appearance. In short, afterwards you have to "feel yourself" as never before. Understanding the deep reasons that lead to breast augmentation surgery is essential to not regret it afterwards.
