Breast implants are categorized under cosmetic surgeries, helping to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. Also, there are various types of breast implants and cosmetic breast surgeries. You can learn all about them herein.

Comparing Saline Implants V/s Silicone Implants

Breast implants can be of two basic types – saline gel and silicone gel.

While the silicone shells of saline implants are filled with saline, the silicone shells of silicone implants are packed with gel.

Both these types of breast implants are available in varied sizes and shells (either smooth or textured). Also, they come with their share of pros and cons and you can make your choice between the two based on your goals and preferences.

Is Breast Augmentation a One-Time Procedure?

Breast augmentation does not always produce permanent results. There are two main issues that come in the way, although you can avoid the common pitfalls to enjoy long-lasting results of breast surgeries.

Now, you may need additional breast augmentation procedures when your breast implants rupture. Both saline implants and silicone implants are vulnerable to rupturing, posing major health risks. In other cases, you may have to undergo more breast surgeries if you do not achieve the desired results.

Nonetheless, you can ensure breast augmentation is a one-time procedure by selecting the right surgeon. In addition to that, you must consider the size, material, and shape of the breast implants before making your choice. These factors can affect the results and the overall experience. That’s why it helps to be aware of your options and make a balanced decision after pondering over all the related aspects carefully.

What are the Different Steps of Breast Augmentation Surgery?

The different steps of a breast augmentation procedure include:

Ø  #Step 1: Anesthesia

Your doctor will administer general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to keep you comforted during the surgery. Your provider will make the right choice for you, depending on your physical condition.

Ø  #Step 2: Incisions

Discuss your incision options with your doctor for the desired results. You can minimize visible scarring by getting incisions in inconspicuous areas. Incisions can be made in your breast folds, along the areolar edge, or in the armpits. Incisions in the belly button can give rise to complications so make sure you make an informed decision.

The sizes of the incisions tend to vary depending on the desired level of enlargement, type of breast implant, patient’s anatomy, and surgeon’s recommendations.

Ø  #Step 3: Insert and placement of the breast implants

After making the incision, your doctor will insert the breast implant via:

  • A submuscular placement that is under the pectoral muscle
  • a submammary/ subglandular placement that is directly behind the breast tissue and above the pectoral muscle

The insertion and position of the breast implants depend on various factors. These include your body type, the type of implant, the level of enlargement needed, and your doctor’s recommendations.

Ø  #Step 4: Closure of the incisions

After inserting the breast implants, incisions are closed via surgical tape, skin adhesive, and layered sutures in the breast tissue for the healing process to ensue.

The incision lines fade away over time. Also, the quality of scars hinges on different aspects, which include genetic factors, exposure to nicotine, and infectivity.

Ø  #Step 5: Check the results

Once the breast surgery is complete, the results are noticeable immediately.

What are the Various Types of Cosmetic Breast Surgery?

You have a range of options in cosmetic breast surgeries to improve the appearance of your breasts and you should base your choices depending on your specific requirements and cosmetic goals.

Ø  As part of the breast augmentation surgery, breast implants are placed behind breast tissue or breast muscle. The breast implants are filled with either silicone gel or saline solution.

Ø  A breast lift (or mastopexy) involves the removal of excess skin while tightening the adjoining tissue to raise your breasts. This procedure both supports and reshapes your breasts, improving their contours.

Ø  A breast reduction surgery entails the removal of fat, skin, and tissue to reduce the size of your breasts. You also get relief from neck and back pain caused by large breasts.

Ø  Breast asymmetry correction surgery is advised for women with breasts of different sizes, restoring the balance and appearance of their breasts. Allow your surgeon to decide whether the breast reduction procedure or breast augmentation procedure would be better suited to you.

What Types of Breast Implants are Available?

Among your options in breast implants are:

Ø  Saline breast implants contain saline sterile water.

Ø  Structured saline breast implants also have sterile saline water, along with an inner structure for natural-looking implants.

Ø  Silicone breast implants have silicone gel that has the same feel as natural breast tissue.

Ø  Gummy bear breast implants (or form-stable implants) have thicker consistency silicone gel than the traditional varieties, making it possible for them to maintain the shape of the breasts even when the implant shells break.

Ø  Round breast implants have rounded edges and they make your breasts appear fuller.

Ø  Smooth breast implants are soft to the touch and provide more room to the breasts for natural movements because they move with the breast implant pocket.

Ø  Textured breast implants have outer textured surfaces that allow the implant to attach to the breast tissue, thereby restricting movement and increasing the chances of scarring.
