Is breast implant safe?

The material used for breast implants is medical silicone gel, which is approved for use after testing by the FDA. The biocompatibility of silicone gel implants is high and will not cause immune-related and toxic side effects after implantation, and will not have adverse effects on fertility and breastfeeding. Moreover, the contents of the implants are silicone gel, so even if they are injured by hard and sharp objects and rupture, there is no need to worry about the contents flowing, which is relatively safe.

What are the advantages of breast implants?

1. Before breast augmentation, the doctor will design a suitable breast implant according to the specific situation of the patient, so that the patient can get a natural and beautiful, realistic breast at one time, and the effect can be maintained for a long time. 2. Breast augmentation not only improves the flat chest and asymmetry of breast shape, but also has a supporting role for the implant, which can play a corrective role for mild breast sagging.

What are the disadvantages of breast implants?

Prone to contracture of the envelope

After breast augmentation surgery, if the residual blood drainage in the body is not complete, it is easy to cause hematoma in the breast augmentation area. Furthermore, after implantation, the body's immune system may react easily, which may lead to different degrees of contracture of the pericardium and delay the softening of the implant.

Hematoma and swelling pain in the breast

In general, if the hematoma is mild, the body will absorb it on its own, but if the hematoma is large, the patient will easily feel the pain and swelling of the breast, and even local bruising, which should be treated by the doctor in time.

Scarring

Breast augmentation requires a small incision in the breast augmentation area to implant the implant. Even if the surgeon is skilled and the incision is small, scarring cannot be avoided.

Possible loss of nipple sensation

The sensation of the nipple areola comes from the fourth intercostal nerve. If the nerve in this area is accidentally damaged during breast augmentation, it may cause loss of sensation in the nipple areola area, difficulty in erecting the nipple during conjugal life, and may cause pain and allergy caused by temporary touch.

Longer recovery period

Since breast augmentation surgery requires stripping the area between the pectoralis major muscle and the mammary gland, the recovery period after surgery is longer, usually taking 3 months to basically recover, while it takes about 1 year for the breast shape to fully recover naturally.
