Considering breast augmentation? His final choice of type of breast implant is best for you depends on a frank discussion with your board certified plastic surgeon and will work with you to determine the type of implant is best for your body. Your decision may take into account several factors:
? The natural breast size and the size you want to be
? The natural shape of your breasts
? Flexibility and condition of your skin
? The type of implant
? The position of the implant
? Incision choosing a surgeon
Let's look at the different types of breast augmentation procedures:
Saline Implants:
Most of the procedures currently used to increase breast implants filled with saline or salt water, and available in round or teardrop. The round saline implants placed under the pectoral muscle pectoral or sub-regional. The teardrop shaped implants with water are more often placed above the muscle in breast tissue ( "sub-glandular). This placement often creates more division, because the implants are placed closer to the midline or center of the chest area. Moreover, they are more likely to generate the type of unwanted movement of the breast that can sometimes happen that the pectoral muscles. Your choice of implant placement depends largely on your plastic surgeon and his preference for the ideal breast shape.
When choosing a saline implant, you can choose the type smooth or textured. Saline implants promote adherence of the fabric texture and reduce capsular contracture. Capsular contracture is a common complication in which tissue that normally forms around the implant tightens and squeezes the implant. Though more expensive, some saline implants are expandable, allowing a further expansion with saline further if the patient should decide after the surgery that the form is not quite complete.
The silicone gel implants:
Silicone implants have been in use since 1964. The materials used in these implants is in the dock, when the media reports of leakage of silicone in the body caused the FDA to restrict the use of silicone implants for reconstruction rather than cosmetic work. He argued that the silicone gel contributed to autoimmune diseases and cancer. However, during the 14 years of intensive and extensive study, found no basis for such assertion. In 2006, the FDA approved the implant of two California manufacturers, Allergan and Mentor for safe use in breast augmentation in women over 22 years.
What has changed since the original silicone implants?
The gel maintains its shape, even if it breaks the shell. This means there are no leaks in the body. Even if it did, the panic over previous damage caused by the silicone gel is unfounded. This gel is made of silicon, which is the most common element on earth seconds after oxygen. It is used in hundreds of common household products such as hairspray, dish detergent, cleaning products and hand lotion. Our bodies are all too accustomed.
Here are some other differences between silicone implants and saline:
? Breast implants produced higher temperatures in reliance on cold days
? The silicone gel implants are cooler to the touch, but they look more natural 'real breast tissue "feel and some women prefer cosmetic surgeons
? Breast implants seem to show more wrinkles than silicone gel implants
? The silicone gel implants to develop more strength, but have a higher incidence of capsular contracture
As with all surgical procedures, the plastic surgeon and his professional team are their most important resource for the latest information and technology. Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon.
