Breast Augmentation Result: What To Expect | Dr. David Stoker

Описание: Patients considering breast augmentation now have more options than ever before. Silicone or saline? High profile or low? When it comes to breast implants, our Los Angeles breast augmentation patients have a wide range of the latest styles, sizes, shapes, profiles, and textures available to accommodate their unique needs and goals.

Types of Implants
The two main categories of breast implants for women considering breast augmentation are silicone gel or saline filled. Silicone gel implants have been popular since the early 1960s; they have gone through multiple generations of improvements since that time. From 1992 to 2006, the FDA restricted the use of gel implants while carefully controlled studies were performed to confirm their safety. Because extensive studies demonstrated that the silicone gel implants are safe, the FDA approved them for use in patients age 22 years and older.

Silicone Breast Implants
The main advantage of silicone implants is that they feel more natural than saline implants. Gel implants are less prone to rippling than saline, which makes them particularly advantageous for thin patients. The current generation of silicone implants is cohesive, meaning that the gel is viscous enough that even if the implant ruptures the gel tends to remain in the same place. The cohesive gel implants are an important advance in implant technology.

Saline Breast Implants
Saline implants have a long record of safety and are less expensive than silicone gel implants. Because they are placed when they are empty and filled once they are inside the breast pocket, the access incisions may be even smaller. When a saline implant leaks, most of the saline from the implant is rapidly and harmlessly absorbed by the body. The deflation is usually obvious, and the patient returns for removal and replacement of the saline implant. This may be done under local anesthesia if the patient is an appropriate candidate. The primary disadvantage of saline implants is that they don’t look or feel as natural as the silicone gel implants. This is a particularly important issue for women who are thin or have decreased elasticity of their skin.

Breast Implant Profiles
Breast implant profiles, such as high, moderate, and low, describe the degree of projection from the chest wall. As the profile increases, the width of the implant decreases. I usually find that midrange profiles are the best fit for my patients. High profile breast implants are often a good choice for a woman with a narrow chest who wants a significant increase in size. Moderate or low profile implants are often a good fit for women with wider chests who desire a modest increase in size.
