Breast Augmentation with Implants

Today's medicine is able to help genetically inclined women with small or shapeless breasts by use of breast implants, aesthetic improvements to embellish the breast area. Breast implants are popular, because attractive breasts are appreciated in many societies. Therefore, a lot of women prefer to take this surgery to improve their look and publicize a sense of confidence.

These days the majority of breast augmentation surgeries include inserting of silicone or liquid breast implants. Liquid implants, also known as saline solution implants, are operated similarly to silicone ones. The size and shape of implants is recommended by doctors considering the height, body built, as well as personal preferences of a particular patient.

The modern implants are built of a silicone membrane filled with silicone or saline. In 1992 FDA banned the insertion of the implants filled with silicone, which have been widely used since 60's. Experts blame silicone implants to be tied to various connective tissue disorders. Today cohesive gel silicone breast implants are available only for limited use and may be used only by a limited number of plastic surgeons. However, women can still obtain those implants participating willingly in the FDA experimental works, as silicone implants are still being researched. The specialists predict that implants filled with silicone gel be available in the nearest future.

The older silicone implants were linked with injurious connective tissue disorders triggered the development of cohesive gel silicone breast implants. Cohesive gel prevented the leak of silicone into the body retaining the integrity and shape of the breast implant even in case of a corruption of the silicone shell.

The surgery of cohesive gel silicone breast implants might provoke serious complications. Those complications include breast rigidity and ache, nipple insensitiveness that might continue for a very long period of time. In some cases an infection might be developed and it might be required to remove implants until the infection is cured. Some negative occurrences might happen including ruptures, wrinkles, sporadic leakage or shape corruption, which requires a repeat surgery for the broken implants to be replaced. In some case breasts' shapes and sizes might also differ after the surgery.

Saline breast implants become a recent alternative to silicone implants. They are inserted the underarms or umbilicus, and after the required positioning are filled with saline via valves up to the preferred volume. The surgeons are able to insert several implants after the surgical procedure; this also is crucial to reduce the recovery period. In a week after the surgery a patient are able to return to daily routine.

Tissue Engineered Implants are a new progressive form of implants. Those implants are built from cells taken from patient's body combined with scaffold materials. Tissue Engineered Implants have no leakage, rupture or size-shape damaging risks.
