The 2 Main Types Of The Breast Implants

By Scott White


One common type of a prosthesis process called the breast implant is being performed to people who wishes to change the size, contour, and also the shape of their breasts. In reconstructive plastic surgeries, breast implants will be placed for breasts restoration, thus making the appearance look natural. Typically, the application of this happens to patients who may have undergone a mastectomy process or may have some deformities and congenital defects in their chest walls.

The devices to be utilized for this breast implant have three classifications that would include the saline solution, composite filler, and the silicone gel. In breast implants Michigan, two common type are only utilized for mammoplasty, breast reconstruction, and breast augmentation procedures. The two types are silicone implant where in this is using gels and saline solution where in saline solution is used.

In Michigan, one type which is used commonly for the prosthesis process by most of the devices is saline solution for a breasts augmentation. It is because a silicone filled type of implant is being restricted now by FDA because of some specific reasons. The technical goal of this is to make a more less invasive type of technique in surgery for emplacement of an empty device by small surgical incisions.

For a surgical praxis, when the implants are already emplaced in the pockets, each device will then be filled by the surgeon with the saline solution. Since the insertion incisions are required to be short and be small, the result of incision scars surely would be shorter and smaller as well compared to the usual surgical scars with long incisions which are required for the insertion of gel.

Thus, when this is being compared to silicone gel types, it will surely be yielding much acceptable results specifically for an increase in size, and thus, it becomes smoother and also has a hemisphere contour and its texture becomes realistic. However, the patient may also be experiencing the side effects like having cosmetic problems. The problems would include wrinkling and rippling the envelope skins, and the lower pole stretches will be accelerated.

Aside from cosmetic problems, people may also be facing technical problems which include the visibility of implants and this would mean that it can be seen easily and felt if touched. Usually, cosmetic problems may occur only when a particular woman has a lesser number of tissues. Women who have undergone a post mastectomy are suggested to be implanted with silicone gels using prosthetic devices for both reconstruction and augmentation processes.

However, gels are types medical device technologies and these have five important generations. The generations are being defined based on the common techniques of a model manufacturing. In the first generation, materials used are rubber envelope sacs. These are affixed top chest walls for reducing the rotation of emplacements.

In second generation, a products functional development and aesthetic improvement are both featured. In third generation and fourth generation, sequential advancements of the manufacturing technology are focused. These would include elastomer coated shells so that gel bleed will decrease and will also have thicker filler gel.

Lastly, the fifth one is made of high cohesive and strength gel. Mostly, the filler leakage occurrence is eliminated by this. And also, silicone filler migration from the pocket is eliminated. Considered to be similar with gummy candies, implants can be called as the gummy bear breasts implant.
