Plastic surgery abroad - Latvia

I would like to separate bad breast augmentation cases into 3 categories: when breast implants were not properly selected, when there’s to big gap between breasts and when surgery was not performed well. Actually, the last case may include case no. 3, but because case of too big gap between breasts has become really widespread, I underlined it as a separate category.

1. Too large breast implants

Usually there are men, who are responsible when woman use too large breast implants. Please review outcomes below. Some cases look extraordinary when woman has also excessive weight loss.

Her breasts look pretty bad, because they don’t even have the tiniest bit of sag that might make you start to believe that her mammaries are real.

2. Too large gap between breast implants

If woman have large rib cage, gap between breasts may seem too large. This can be exacerbated if the implants are not placed very carefully in the chest. Which means that the implant incisions have to be made in a way that prevents the implant from drifting.

3. Bad job by surgeon

Larger implants make chest deformity more visible. There’s not doubt, plastic surgeon could fix the indent in her chest before putting in implants.

Implanted breasts on lean body look like they are running away from each other.

It looks like her breast got infected as it was healing and the infection caused an ugly scar.

In some cases, one cup may appears be bigger than other, and patient will need make additional operation when skin stretches. This happens when tissue was removed from cancer or woman have spent considerable time nursing and all she have in mammaries is skin over the implants.

Another complication of bad breast augmentation is Capsular Contracture This is hardening of the breasts, caused by the formation of copious amounts of scar tissue around a breast implant. In this case breasts appear misshapen and misplaced, and can also cause significant pain for the patient. Patient can minimize risk of capsular contracture by sub-muscular implant placement, self-massage, and/or the use of textured implants.

As you see, breast augmentation may look as rather controversial procedure, if performed not carefully. It’s essential for patient to be familiarized with the technique from his first step into plastic surgery clinics.
