The augmentation breast surgery remains the most popular esthetic surgical procedure. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 300,000 women in the United States had the procedure done in 2013.
Thinking about it, a surgeon from New York created the InstaBreast, a procedure that allows women to experience the feeling of having larger breasts, and to identify with the size before they decide to perform the implants placing.
According to the developer surgeon’s procedure, this idea was conceived as a method to find out if breast implants are for you, what is the size you want and how you will feel. The InstaBreast is a minimally invasive procedure that takes about 15 to 20 minutes, during which a saline solution is injected directly into the breasts to immediately create bigger breasts that last up to 24 hours.
The solution is absorbed and, after it is eliminated from the body in urine. The area is put through anesthesia before the injection, so there should be no pain. Nevertheless, in some patients there is the appearance of contusions that disappear in about a day.
Debating about the risks, the surgeon says that the types of amounts that he uses do not represent any problem to the patient. In 2012, in the United Kingdom, Macrolane, a compound used specifically as a breast injection, was banned because it was thought to cause protuberances that brought difficulty in reading mammograms. This does not happen with InstaBreast.
Currently an extended version of InstaBreast is being developed, which, according to the responsible, was nicknamed as “vacation breasts” by the media. This procedure would allow patients to test a larger size of the breasts over a long period of time (up to weeks), rather than just one day. Remember, however, that this idea does not replace the breast augmentation surgery, which has come a long way in terms of sophistication and surgical recovery advances. Currently, bringing a long-term result, already allows patients to return to daily activities in the first days from the postoperative.
