12. Why Silicon?
• The chemical stability of the silicone structure.
• Silicone’s ability to readily sterilize without
the physical properties being destroyed.
• Silicone’s flexibility due to its structure is very
high.
• Silicone’s mechanical endurance. Silicone’s
are found to last for a long period of time
36. Advantages of AFT
• Autologous tissue / Natural
• Painless
• Scarless
• Post mastectomy cases / Transgender
• Breast Asymmetry
• SImple
• Day care procedure
• Local anaesthesia
• Very less Downtime
• Dual Benefit of removing fat from Unwanted places

• Fat absorption and Cyst formation
• Donor Scarcity
• Micro calcifications – may mimic malignancy
on mammogram
• Tubular breast
• Fat Necrosis
38. Breast Reduction / Reduction
Mammoplasty

reduce the size of the breast
Methods
Liposuction
Diff. Surgical Techniques
39. Causes of Hypermastia

• Constitutional ? Hereditary
51. Challenges in Br. Reduction
• Age @ which to operate
• Nipple Areola preservation
• Sensation to NAC Complex
• Lactation
• Scars
52. Combination Procedures
• Mastopexy with Implants
• Reduction with Implants
• Implants / Reduction with Liposuction
• Implants / Reduction with Abdominoplasty
53. Conclusion
• Breast Surgery is complex as it involves 3 D
Conceptualisation of tissues.
• Surgery is done in supine position and results
