What are breast implants?

Breast implants are devices containing either saline or silicone components to fit your breasts and help rebuild your breasts.

• Silicone breast implants

These breast implants contain silicone gel that feels like human fat. You may go for a silicone breast implant if you want a natural look and the feel of the natural breast tissues.

• Saline breast implants

These breast implants have a filling of sterile saltwater. Your doctor inserts it empty and fills them once they are in your breasts. They are available for you if you want breast reconstruction.

What should you know about breast implants?

You may need to consider the following information about breast implants before considering a breast reconstruction:

• There is no guarantee that breast implants can last a lifetime

You may need the breast implant taken out within some years, eight to ten approximately. This step is necessary as an implant rupture is possible. And as you get older, your breasts may change due to weight losses and gain.

• Breast implants may hinder breastfeeding

You may be able to breastfeed after successful implantation, but in some cases, you may not.

• You may need routine monitoring

Your doctor may recommend checkups with ultrasound or an MRI scan if you have any symptoms after implantation. Regular screening for a silicone implant rupture may also be necessary.

• Breast implants may not prevent breasts from sagging

Your doctor may recommend a breast lift and breast augmentation to help prevent your breasts from sagging.

How can you know the right breast implant for you?

There are various advantages to each breast implant. You may need to discuss with your doctor to find out the right breast implant for you. This choice may depend on your body goals and your desire to achieve them. The decision may also depend on your body type. The different types of surgery you may choose from include:

• Breast reconstruction

This type of surgery works to rebuild your breasts following mastectomy, whether partial or complete, due to breast cancer or other medical reasons.

• Breast augmentation

This surgical procedure aims to improve the shape and size of your breasts. This surgery may use either silicone implants or saline to increase the size of your breasts and enhance how they feel. You may consider this type of breast surgery if you wish to increase the size of your breasts.

• Breast lift

This surgery involves eliminating excess skin and boosting your breast tissues to elevate to a higher position; it serves to give your breasts fullness, leaving you feeling youthful. You may have sagging breasts as you get older due to loss of elasticity.
