Some Features Of Breast Implants Michigan Potential Clients Need To Know

By Mary Walker


Breast enhancement procedures have become quite common in modern times. The operation which is also known as mammoplasty, is mainly done for cosmetic reasons. The objective is to insert a prosthesis (implant) into the breast tissue with the aim of altering the shape or increasing the size. If they intend to undergo this operation, there are a number of facts on breast implants Michigan clients need to understand.

Other than the cosmetic reasons that exist, there are several medical indications that may create the need for the procedure. One of them is the existence of small mammary glands due to what is referred to as developmental hypoplasia. There is a need in this case to increase the size of the breasts. Weight loss that follows a period of pregnancy may result in significant symmetry of the glands. Prosthesis may be needed to correct it.

There are two main types of implants that one can choose from. The two have a similar external structure that is made of rubber shell. The difference is the content. The first type is filled with silicone gel. The incision is made at the appropriate site and the implant placed in position. When using the saline type, the shell is first put in the intended position before the saline is introduced.

There are a number of advantages and disadvantages associated with each type of prosthesis. Silicone implants are, by far, the most popular due to their more natural consistency. Their main disadvantage is the fact that it is less malleable hence the need for larger surgical incisions. The incisions result in larger scars that may be a cause for concern for some people. The saline implants are more malleable hence the incisions used are smaller.

This operation is relatively simple in the hands of a qualified cosmetic surgeon. The average time is between forty five minutes and one hour. Of course the time may be a bit longer if complications are encountered. General anesthesia is usually used to minimize the associated discomfort. The surgeon will open up the space located between the breast and the chest wall. Various approaches can be used here depending in what they prefer.

As a potential candidate, there are a number of possible complications that you need to be aware of. These include among others excessive bleeding and infections. Fortunately, these complications are uncommon and when they occur, they can be easily managed. Adequate administration of prophylactic antibiotics helps keep infections at bay. Leakages and displacement of the prostheses may be noted after some months.

You need a couple of days to weeks to recover fully from the effects of the operation. You will have a post-operative visit to the clinic after two weeks so that the doctor can examine you and rule out any complications. It is important that you avoid strenuous activities both before and after this visit so as to avoid inflicting injury to the surgical site.

The results of this operation vary from one person to another. Factors that may cause this variability include type and severity of condition, the techniques employed and patient specific factors such as their physiological make-up. Whereas some people are happy with the results others are unsatisfied and even request for revision. Bear in mind also that gravity will result in sagging over time.
