Breast implants enhance the size and shape of the breast by adding firmness and fullness. Breast augmentation can be used to enhance body symmetry and self-image primarily or following pregnancy. Breast implants can also be used for correcting asymmetry and for reconstructive purposes. Remember, each person’s surgery will receive very close special attention and individual thought, planning and care.
Breast Augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery. Breast implants enhance the size and shape of the breasts adding firmness and fullness while improving body image and self esteem. Breast Augmentation can be performed to make smaller breasts appear larger, balance breasts that are asymmetrical, or restore fullness that has diminished with age or as a result of pregnancy. Breast Implants can also be used for reconstructive purposes.
Breast augmentation using either saline filled breast implants or the new FDA approved cohesive gel silicone implants. Saline breast implants contain an outer shell of silicone within which the saline solution is placed. The new and improved silicone gel implants have the same outer silicone shell within which is a new cohesive silicone gel. Unlike the old silicone implants, which were more like a liquid, the new cohesive gel implants act more like a solid than a liquid holding together uniformly while still retaining the natural give and feel of natural breast tissue. This gelatin -like cohesive silicone gel is much less likely to leak, rupture or tear as compared to the older traditional silicone implants and, in demonstration, the implant does not leak even when cut in half:
Most surgeons and patients agree that the new cohesive silicone gel implants have a more natural feel and are less likely to produce rippling than saline implants. The cohesive gel implant, however will require a slightly larger incision to allow placement.
Breast Implants also come in different shapes and profiles. Anatomic or “teardrop” shaped implants were created with a more natural shape in mind and designed to be fuller at the lower half similar to a natural breast. However, this distinct vertical orientation can result in distortion or breast asymmetry if the implant should rotate. A textured surface allowing tissue in-growth helps reduce the chance of rotation however may result in more visible or palpable rippling. For these reasons, anatomic implants are not commonly used.
The surgeon routinely uses the most common, round implant. Since the breast implant is round, it is free to rotate without any adverse consequences. With gravity alone the saline or cohesive silicone gel will gravitate or fill the bottom portion of the implant when sitting or standing erect or fill the breast more uniformly when lying down supine, more closely imitating a natural breast.
