The 2 Main Types Of The Breast Implants

By Scott White


The breast implant is one type of prosthesis process which is being used in order to make some changes on the shape, contour, and size of the breasts. For the reconstructive plastic surgeries, the breast implants are placed in order to do the restoration of breasts, making it look more natural. These are often applied to patients who have undergone mastectomy or for chest walls that have congenital defects or deformities.

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, saline solution is one type that used mostly by surgeons for prosthesis procedures using the devices for breasts augmentation. And the reason for this is due to the restrictions provided by FDA regarding on the usage of silicone filled implants. This process has a technical goal of making a technique which is lesser invasive for a surgery when emplacing empty device with a small surgical incision.

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, if this is to be compared to the silicone gel type, this is going to yield more acceptable results for increasing the size, making it smoother and has hemisphere contour, and also has realistic texture. However, it may also have some side effects such as causing some cosmetic problems. These problems may include rippling and wrinkling of envelope skins, and accelerated lower pole stretch.

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, being one of the medical device technologies, the gels implant has five generations. Each generation is being defined by some common techniques for model manufacturing. The first one is made from rubber envelope sac. Its shape is similar to a teardrop and is filled with silicone gels. In order to reduce the emplacement rotation on chest wall, this is affixed into the pocket using the fastener patch.

Second generation features both aesthetic improvements and functional developments of a product. Both third and fourth generations, for the manufacturing technology are sequential advances. These technologies include shells coated with an elastomer for decreasing the gel bleed and having thicker filler gel.

And the last one is made from highly cohesive and high strength gel which most of the time will be eliminating the filler leakage occurrences. Silicone filler migrations from a pocket is also eliminated. Most commonly, the implants are referred as gummy bear implant for breasts, that is, similar to the gummy candies.
