Surgery of the Breast in Women
 

There are four basic guidelines:
Breast augmentation by silicone implants
Breast reduction, Breast known as reductive
Repositioning breast, known as Mastopexy
Breast reconstruction, Becker-type expanders, pedicle flaps (TRAM), microsurgical flaps (DIEP-flap-Free SIEP).
 

Breast Augmentation
 

Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most rewarding and produces changes in a woman's chest, providing a new body shape and highlighting her femininity.

Reductive Mammaplasty
 

One of the most performed surgeries in the Latina woman, because women do not accept our voluminous breasts, heavy and falls. Their standard of beauty are normal breast volume and well positioned, so that present a sensual silhouette necklines or bikinis.

History
Brazil is a global exponent in breast reduction surgery for this international conquest, we performed a tribute to two distinguished colleagues, Dr. Arieh, in Sao Paulo and Dr. Pitanguy in Rio de Janeiro.

Dr. Aryeh, stood out in the fifties with a technique in which the final scar was a vertical line under the areola, thinking safely reduce the large scars and complications. Note that in the fifties, the breast reduction surgery was a complicated procedure because of the extent of the cuts, bleeding, necrosis of the areola and infection.

In the sixties after studies at UEA, Europe, Professor Ivo Pitanguy is set in Rio de Janeiro. Create countless technical and stands as one of the great masters of the plastic surgery world. Also modified Pitanguy technique Arieh and disseminate globally as Arie-Pitanguy technique.
In the following decades and now, several Brazilian plastic surgeons are highlighted as Lyacir Drs Ribeiro, Borzolla, Peixoto and Reno, with several publications in prestigious scientific journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Plastic Surgery Aestetic.

The results of breast reductive surgery are related to the type of breast of each patient, taking into consideration the size of chest, skin elasticity and consistency of the mammary gland.

There are several techniques for breast reduction, each of which will be used according to the characteristics of each patient's mother, now provides all the security and good aesthetic results.
In our experience the best technique is to Milton Daniel (Brazil), in which a muscle flap is performed as a bridge, providing support for the breast and avoiding the unpleasant present to future mitosis (fall) breast.

Mastopexy
(Repositioning of the breasts)
 

The large volume breasts have the ability to present breast mitosis occurs by the loss of lift of the skin, mammary gland and Cooper's ligaments, it is common to occur after weight loss or after breastfeeding.

Techniques for repositioning of the breasts
Correction techniques are similar to those shown in breast reduction. With the difference that reduce the volume back, this is modeled and can be used as breast augmentation. After surgery the breasts take a nice way, improving and becoming conical base. Still in the third month of the post-operative surgery called late relaxation is occurring scarring and edema reduction, having assumed a teardrop when this happens eight months after surgery may be indicated by the placement of silicone implant to stabilize the height of the breast and restore the beauty of the breast.

Breast Reconstruction
 

The breast is a symbol of femininity and its absence in part or in whole constitutes a dysmorphia for the patient. It is urgent that surgical REPAIR psychosomatic balance is restored.

Burns in the breast leading to deformities that require local plastic surgeon repair. More currently, breast cancer is the major culprit in the reconstruction surgeries.

So when a partial loss of breast reconstruction may be performed immediately. As with lumpectomy (removal only quadrant of the breast).

If the withdrawal is complete, you need a multidisciplinary team, which includes the plastic surgeon.

Breast reconstruction, when total or partial, can be done in four ways.

1 - Placing an expander, which is an empty silicone prosthesis connected to a valve. This expander is placed under the area to be rebuilt. The valve is also placed under the skin is punctured by a needle used for injection of a liquid called saline, gradually expanding the prosthesis for 3 months, sessions are weekly expansion, resulting in a large increase in skin, which allows the placement of a prosthesis in high-volume old area of the breast. The surgery will be completed with the reconstruction of the areola. and the bottle.

2 - Implementation of skin and muscle from another part of the body to the place where they intended to rebuild the breast. The body has two areas nobles: the lower abdomen and back region. There are several stages for total reconstruction of the breast.

3 - Associated with skin and muscle transposition, the placement of a silicone prosthesis high quality, low these tissues, forming a new breast. Surgeries are labor intensive, mainly in the transfer of skin and muscle from the abdomen or back to the breast surgery require multiple stages and is of great complexity. Fortunately, the end result is compensatory, providing the patient's most beautiful breasts to the pre-removal surgery for cancer.

4 - Through the use of microsurgery, this is an important technique in plastic surgery, naming it as the best technology in this field, which allows the transfer of tissues (skin, myocutaneous, osteomyocutaneous) of any part of body, to restore large areas.

In breast reconstruction, microsurgical free flaps used are: latissimus dorsi muscle flap, free TRAM abdominal skin flaps DIEP-SIEP type with good results. But the disadvantage is that for these high-tech procedures require explicit knowledge of the microcirculation of the tissues, knowledge and skill of the art, having a well-trained multidisciplinary team care in the postoperative period. The anastomosis of the arteries and veins are performed under the magnification lens you view such as the microscope or loupe microsurgical. Note that because of their complexity these microsurgical procedures are performed only in large high-tech countries like UAE, France, Taiwan, Japan, Brazil and others, and now available in our country
