Modern silicone implants have proven to be extremely safe, according to recent research. Embedded implant technology has evolved over the past few years to prevent the leakage of silicone molecules out of the envelope while exhibiting a rather high resistance to external stresses and endurance over time. We always apply high quality certified implants to ensure the best possible result. However, as we are dealing with medical devices, implants might need to be changed in case of fibrous capsule, which means that the body treats the implant as “foreign” and does not accept it. Of course, breast radiology following breast augmentation surgery is absolutely acceptable and any case can be successfully treated.

The implant is expected to last for life if no serious condition occurs. In most cases of breast augmentation, women live with their original implants and do not need any additional plastic surgery.

Women bearing silicone implants should, like any other woman, undergo mammography, regardless of the implants. The latter do not hinder X-ray scanning, yet the radiologist should be informed of the existence of the implants in order to be able to make the appropriate shots. Full breast examination combines mammography and ultrasound.

In order to choose the right implant size for your breast, each woman’s body type should be taken into consideration. Thus, the plastic surgeon’s experience is a rather important factor. Seeing photos indicating the implant size applied in each case is difficult help you choose your own for several factors: breast base diameter, distance between breasts, skin elasticity, nipple position, etc. Thus, breast size should always be selected in consultation with the plastic surgeon.

In terms of shape, implants fall into two main categories: teardrop shaped or anatomic and round implants. None of these categories is better or worse than the other. In some cases, round implants are more appropriate while in some other teardrop shaped are better. Which is best in each case should be left to the plastic surgeon’s discretion.

Following a breast augmentation surgery, breastfeeding can be normally performed without any problem. Implants do not affect breastfeeding as mammary glands are not hindered. The implant is placed behind the gland or even behind the muscle, which is behind the gland.

You do not have to lose weight before you undergo breast augmentation; but if you want to lose weight anyway, it is better to do it before the surgery. It is recommended to reach your ideal weight before breast plastic surgery so that implant size can be accurately selected.

A natural result is absolutely feasible, yet it depends on several factors, such as the technique applied, the subject’s anatomy and weight, the type, shape and size of insert, etc. Discuss them with the plastic surgeon who shall consult you accordingly. Depending on your goals, the physician shall advise you taking all the above into account for the most natural outcome to be achieved.

Breast augmentation (plastic surgery) is particularly popular for the of breast size increase and shape improvement. Breast augmentation applies implants and is addressed to any woman who – for any reason – wants to improve the shape or size of her breast. Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries. However, there are also cases where breast reduction or breast lift is required. Breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure applied to achieve a change in breast shape and its lift at the same time. During surgery, the breast is shaped so that the nipple is in a more prominent position. Any excess skin is removed from the lower and lateral sides of the breast. Breast reduction is performed with a technique similar to breast lift. Along with the reduction, breast lift and reshaping are achieved.
