Breast surgery can be one of the most interesting solutions for women who, for whatever reason, are not satisfied with their breasts. Having reputable specialists is the first step.
Nominated in 2017 for Doctoralia the best plastic surgeon in Spain, Dr. Eduardo Forcada Melero is a breast augmentation specialist surgeon in Madrid His long career and enviable level of experience have made him one of the most prolific surgeons in the specialty of breast augmentation and all types of cosmetic breast surgery, with up to 500 interventions each year.
His words are an absolute reference in the sector, being a member of the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, but also ISAPS and AECEP, bodies that regulate at the international level and in Spain, respectively, the work of plastic surgeons. He, therefore, is an authoritative voice on the changes and benefits of breast augmentation.
What has changed in the breast augmentation that is so popular today?
It could be said that the prices and the competitiveness of the sector, with more and better plastic surgeons, but also better associated technology. But perhaps the real reason is in the issue of guarantees, security. Having plastic surgery today is much safer and healthier than having it 10 or 20 years ago, and it is something worth mentioning. Important there is the issue of pollution and secondary effects, which are practically non-existent today.
Can any woman undergo breast augmentation surgery?
Yes. Well, as long as I'm of legal age. There is no age limit, for example, after which breast augmentation can no longer be done, Unless a pathology prevents it or in the opinion of the specialist it is not viable.
But yes, any woman can have breast augmentation surgery. In fact, many patients who had implants at a certain age come 5 or 10 years later because they want to improve or change something, and so on.
What problems are the most common that patients use to request a breast augmentation?
The lack of naturalness and the loss of firmness could be the most obvious reasons, or at least that is what the statistics on the patients dictate. It happens a lot, for example, that after giving birth, but especially after breastfeeding, women are not entirely satisfied with their breasts, so they usually go to a consultation and looking for advice on what can be done thanks to cosmetic surgery.
However, breast malformations, changing implants, placing prostheses in women who have managed to overcome breast cancer, but have had to remove them, are some of the most common requests.
What is the optimal result of a breast augmentation and how is it achieved?
When women hear about breast augmentation, at least those who are still skeptical about it, they associate it directly with results out of reality, but really what one as a professional in plastic surgery and precisely specialists in breast surgeries is looking for first of all is naturalness.
If you gain in beauty, if the woman feels fully satisfied, but above all that, naturalness wins out, it could be said that the optimal results have been obtained.
Now, how is it achieved? There is no one recipe that can be used universally. Experience, knowing how to analyze what is appropriate in each case, whether it is better to have a smooth anatomical implant or a round one, what is the ideal size or what the woman wants to achieve, are things that must be taken into account before detailing the best way to get it.
Technology helps a lot these days. Anatomical implants allow a design practically millimeter by millimeter, being able to gain naturalness, beauty and size, all at the same time, without looking exaggerated or plastic, as they say.
