Good afternoon. I have the following question: I had fibrocystic formation for many years, every year I had an ultrasound and mammogram - nothing dangerous was shown. She refused the puncture. This year, the oncologist-mammologist persuaded me to do a puncture to make sure that there really was nothing wrong. I did it, the puncture showed that everything was safe, fatty involution, but after the puncture the breast began to hurt, the color changed to dark red, swelling and hardening. When I went to the doctor again, an ultrasound showed mastitis. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and therapy. After 10 days of treatment, a repeat ultrasound was performed - there were no changes. The doctor said that it was necessary to have an operation, but I refused and asked to be prescribed a different antibiotic and therapy. I drink it for 5 days, after 5 days the treatment will end, we will do another ultrasound. The doctor said that if there is no improvement, they will perform an operation to remove mastitis. I'm worried about what the scars on my chest will do. I would like to know if it is possible to have surgery to remove mastitis, fibrocystic formations and place implants at the same time? And what’s better to do, maybe lipofilling? If lipofilling, what is your cost?

Answer:

Hello. First, mastitis must be cured, and only then can breast surgery be performed. After 3 months you can come for a consultation. I do not do breast lipofilling, since the transplanted fat is completely absorbed 6 months after its injection. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Alexander Grudko.

Good afternoon This is Ekaterina writing to you, I am going to undergo breast augmentation mammoplasty with you, the operation is tentatively scheduled for September and I am now in the process of preparing tests for the operation. Along the way, I have some questions for you that I would like to ask before the operation. 1. During an ultrasound of the mammary glands, a small cyst was discovered on my left breast. Is it possible to remove it during surgery? I am worried about the fact that if it grows during my life, I will need to repeat the operation on the already operated breast. And I’m afraid that the implant may cause the growth of a cyst. 2. Is it possible to do breast nipple reduction in one operation and what is the cost of this procedure? 3. What implants do you work with? Thank you in advance for your attention, time and answer! I wish you a good continuation of the evening.

Answer:

Hello. If the diameter of the cyst is more than 1 cm, it is dotted under ultrasound control and after cytology of the contents of the cyst, breast augmentation is performed. If the diameter of the cyst or cyst is less than 1 cm, it does not need to be removed, but breast augmentation can be done. If you undergo breast augmentation and need to puncture a cyst, do not worry, the implants are not damaged during puncture of cysts. Implants do not provoke the formation of cysts in the mammary glands. At the same time, nipple reduction can be done. The cost of nipple reduction is indicated in the PRICES section. For breast augmentation I use Mentor implants. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Alexander Grudko.

I've been looking for a good surgeon for about a year now, but I still have a lot of doubts. I live in Finland, is there any way to get a consultation online?
