How long can breast augmentation remain effective?
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of plastic surgery to enlarge the breast by implanting silicone or saline prosthesis, which has attracted more and more women's attention in recent years. However, for women who want to have breast augmentation surgery, one of the most concerned issues is how long the effect of the surgery can be maintained. Next, we will describe the durability of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: surgical methods, changes of internal prosthesis, age and living habits.
Surgical methods
The durability of breast augmentation surgery first depends on the choice of surgical methods. At present, the common methods of breast augmentation include the axillary approach, the inferior sulcus approach and the nipple approach. The subaxillary approach and the inferior sulcus approach are relatively common methods. The surgical incision is relatively small and the recovery period is relatively short, but the position of the prosthesis is relatively unstable. It needs to be fixed with the muscles in the breast, and the effect is relatively short. The surgical incision of the nipple approach is left around the nipple. The incision is larger and the recovery period is longer, but the prosthesis fixation is more stable and the effect is durable.
In addition, postoperative care during the operation and strict compliance with the doctor's recommendations also play a key role in maintaining the surgical effect. For example, wearing a special bra after surgery and avoiding heavy objects can reduce the pressure and impact on the prosthesis and help maintain the long-term stability of the surgical effect.
Changes of prosthesis in vivo
The silicone or saline prosthesis implanted in breast augmentation surgery will also change over time, which is also an important factor affecting the durability of the surgical effect. Generally speaking, the implanted silicone prosthesis is relatively stable, not easy to deform, and has good durability. The saline prosthesis is relatively unstable, and may leak or break, so it needs to be repaired or replaced again. Therefore, the choice of prosthesis during surgery will also directly affect the durability of breast augmentation effect.
Age and living habits
Age and individual living habits will also affect the effect of breast augmentation surgery. Generally speaking, with the growth of age, the skin elasticity of the breast will gradually decline, and the local gravity sagging of the breast will also be obvious. Therefore, when breast augmentation surgery is performed at a young age, breast tissue is relatively tight and the surgical effect is relatively more lasting. In addition, the individual's living habits, such as whether they often take strenuous exercise, whether they smoke and drink, will also affect the maintenance of the surgical results.
Summary
To sum up, how long the effect of breast augmentation surgery can be maintained mainly depends on the selection of surgical methods, the type of prosthesis implanted, individual age, living habits and other factors. Correct selection of surgical method, appropriate prosthesis type and adjustment of postoperative nursing and living habits can increase the durability of breast augmentation surgery. However, breast augmentation surgery is not once and for all. Breasts will change naturally over time. Therefore, it is recommended to visit and check with a doctor regularly to adjust and maintain the surgical effect in time to ensure the beauty of the breast.
