Is it true that this type of surgery is safer for people with allergies to synthetic materials?
to breast augmentation, but the technique has not yet gained wide acceptance in the plastic surgery community. Implants in the United States are filled with saline (by the surgeon at the time of the breast augmentation) or filled with silicone gel by the manufacturer. There are no implants that are filled with body fat. Microfat injections using a careful technique to preserve the fat that is harvested from a patient, and then injecting that fat into another area of the body is a commonly accepted technique. It has been used to fill hollow areas in the face, under scars, and in the breasts following mastectomy and reconstruction to supplement an implant or flap. The use of fat to primarily augment the breast in place of an implant for cosmetic augmentation has its proponenets, and may prove to be an effective methodology in the coming years. Be sure to seek the guidance of an experienced breast surgeon who is knowledgeable about this technique before proceeding...
I got silicone implants six months ago. 5 days ago my friend threw me over his shoulder, as a fireman would, and I remember my left breast smashing so hard into his back that I immediately feared it had just ruptured. I can't really say I have any symptoms of leakage but the underneath of my breast, where I can feel the implant, feels a bit lumpy and not as smooth as the right, almost as if it was folding over inside. Could my doctor palpate enough to tell if this implant has now busted?
While sometime apparent on physical examination, diagnosis of a ruptured gel breast implant is best accomplished with an MRI.
I suggest that you seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who will examine you, order an MRI, and discuss treatment should the breast implant prove to ruptured.
Can the same "look" that I am hoping for be achieved in either saline OR silicone? I am wondering because I read of some people who feel that saline looks very round and fake and silicone does not. IS that the case? or does it all depend om anatomy and implant style (moderate or HP) or size (cc)? My BOARD CERTIFIED PS.. with multipal hospital privelages.. has chosen for me 375- 425 cc mod plus mentor silicone gel. final decision will be made in O.R.
were beautiful and very natural looking. Although silicone implants are slightly softer and more natural feeling than saline implants, the look is very similar. In women who have a fair amount of their own breast tissue, and want an augmentation, saline can be a very good choice, especially when placed under the pectoralis muscle. In these women, the results are very similar and there is nothing wrong with spending half as much for the implants, as saline implants are significantly less expensive than silicone gel implants. For women starting with little breast tissue and tight skin, or for those women who choose to have the implant placed above the muscle, silicone is a more natural choice. As with most issues in cosmetic surgery, there is simply no right answer for everyone, and you need to consult with a surgeon is is familiar and comfortable with multiple techniques.
