What You Wanted To Know About Breast Implants


What You Wanted To Know About Breast Implants  by: Michael Rad

Breast enlargement is, no doubt, one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures. However, many women wonder if the breast augmentation procedure is worth it, especially on a long run.

Some fear that the breast implants will not last and they will begin to leak. Although this does happen, it is a very rare phenomenon. Most women who have gone through breast enlargement surgery didn’t experience any problems with their silicone breast implants. You will never have to replace your breast implants unless you come across a problem with them. Most breast implant replacements are made because the patient wants a new shape or size for her breasts. Although leakage and asymmetry are also among the reasons, they are very rare when compared with the conscious requests of the patients to modify their breast implants.

While the inframammary incision is the most popular, other types of breast enlargement incisions should be considered. The crease incision has the huge advantage of leaving a minute scar that is barely noticeable. A transaxillary breast incision gives surgeons less control on where to implant the silicone. Incisions around the areola heal faster, but the abundance of nerve endings in the area made many surgeons feel that changes in tactile sensations might be present. There are various breast enlargement procedures available, but silicone breast implants are still the number one favorite. In the United States alone, over 200,000 women may have breast augmentation surgery each year. This cosmetic surgery procedure has become very safe and convenient for most women who desire larger breasts. There are a few regulations concerning breast implants in the US presented below:

Here is a set of regulations passed by the FDA in regards to silicone breast implants:

1. Replacement or revision of saline implants

2. Tuberous breast deformity

3. Congenital breast reconstruction

4. Breast augmentation to the opposite breast for symmetry

5. Augmentation with a breast lift (mastopexy)

6. Severe asymmetries of the breast

7. Breast cancer reconstruction

You have to be at least 18 to be eligible for breast enlargement surgery. There are some special cases when a cosmetic doctor may refuse to perform surgery on a patient: if the patient has certain medical conditions or diseases that may affect wound healing, the plastic surgeon might not give her green light for breast enlargement.
