Cyprus Breast Augmentation - The Plastic Surgery Procedure
The plastic surgery operation is usually done when the breast reaches its final size after puberty (ages 17-18). Except for cases when there is congenital breast hypoplasia or breast asymmetry in which it can be done earlier (local regulations in Cyprus may be applicable).
Cyprus breast augmentation - the implants
There are three possible areas for the insertion of an implant for augmentation. The lower fold of the breast is the most common site. It allows full excess and lives a hidden scar. The second site is through the areola. This incision gives the best esthetic results but it is also the only one that goes through the breast tissue therefore the risk of infection and sensation loss is higher. The third one is through the armpits. Some plasit surgeons prefer it because the scar is almost invisible (except for those women who like to wear open close with no sleeves(. The disadvantage of this incision is a slight asymmetry of the breast. The decision usually made individually with each woman and the plastic surgeon (consult local Cyprus surgeons).
The augmentation implant can be inserted above or below the chest muscles. The below position considered to be more preferable by most Cyprus surgeons. There is less chance of feeling the implant, less chance of developing irregular folds or bumps on the surface of the breast and the implant is less likely to drop. This kind of plastic surgery technique is suitable for women with relatively little extra skin and less fallen breasts.
Most of the implants are made of silicon, and since the FDA determined that they safe for use they are being widely used by most plastic surgeons in Cyprus.

Cyprus breast augmentation - shape and size
The augmentation implants come in two shapes: round and pear shape also called "anatomic implants" because their shape resembles the natural contour of the breast. They are more expensive and require larger excision during the breast augmentation plastic surgery procedure.
The size of an implant usually depends on the woman size and proportions, the average size is 300cc. It is believed that smaller implants have lower complications.

Cyprus breast augmentation - after the plastic surgery
After the augmentation plastic surgery you'll be wearing a sports bra or a bandage. You'll continue wearing them at all times day and night for about a month. You'll be able to take a shower 24 hours after the plastic surgery. The most optimal results usually seen 3 month after the surgery. Several things can complicate this plastic surgery procedure; those are rare complications, which you should be aware off. Bleeding around the area of the implant, infection, disturbances of sensation and touch around the nipples, silicon leak, rejection off an implant and some degree of irregularity on the surface of an implant.

- Good morning to everyone!
I hope that this post isn’t “out” here. I would like just to say that if someone of you are thinking to have plastic surgery operations but they are very expensive, there’s something new for you:
Plastic Surgery News...
- BBC news reports that the manufacturers of Gaviscon (Reckitt Benkiser) maintained an effective monopoly on the market for years after Gaviscon came off patent. An investigation for the BBC’s Newsnight programme has found that executives at the company prevented other manufacturers from selling generic versions of Gaviscon by creating obstacles. According to BBC news, a generic name should have been published in 2000, the company objected to this and did so again in 2003, 2005 and 2006. In each case it quoted health and patient safety as the reason for its objections but internal documents accessed by BBC Newsnight give a different story. A former senior executive said Reckitt had "cheated the NHS" and could have saved it "millions of pounds". A competition lawyer has told the programme that some of the emails and business plans he had examined raised the question of whether Reckitt had been in breach of competition law. The BBC news report notes, “Nine years after its patent elapsed, Gaviscon still has 88% of the market for alginic acid compounds in the National Health Service and there is still no generic name. Generic copies of Gaviscon could have saved around £40m from the drugs budget since 1999.” The report also adds that Parliament's health select committee is expected to investigate the Gaviscon case. The company has told Newsnight that it had never objected to a generic name being published, "the timetable of which is not within our control". The company did say that it would be taking action in relation to some of the internal correspondence from 2003, discovered by the Newsnight investigation.
The Newsnight programme will be broadcast at 10.30pm on Friday 7th March on BBC Two.
