OPTIMIZATION OF THE SELECTION OF IMPLANTS FOR AUGMENTATION MAMMOPLASTY

Atamanov D., Egorov V.

Augmentation mammoplasty is the most popular aesthetic operation all over the world. The correct selection of the implant is of particular importance, and the variety of preoperative planning schemes indicates the absence of a unified approach and the complexity of this process. 20 groups of photographs were evaluated by respondents and according to the results aesthetically attractive ratios of the circumferences of the chest, waist and hips were calculated. Based on the data obtained, we developed the method to determine the required chest circumference at the level of the nipple and calculated the necessary increase in the height of the mammary gland cone, which can be used in selecting the implant projection height.
