From the perspective of appearance, breast prosthesis can be divided into two types: round and drop shaped (also known as anatomical type). Due to factors such as material system, a high rate of capsular contracture occurred. The drop shaped prosthesis once disappeared in the plastic surgery market. Until the 1990s, due to the improvement of technology, this kind of prosthesis reappeared in the market and was used in clinical practice. Now, The popularity of the drop shaped prosthesis is much higher than that of the round one, but is the drop shaped prosthesis really better than the round one?
In the past, due to the limited choice of breast prosthesis, girls often only considered the volume when choosing the prosthesis, and only the breast prosthesis differentiated from the gram was available. In practice, doctors found that the stereotyped consideration of "how many grams" also created a stereotyped chest. In fact, many people are suitable for different shapes of prostheses.
In recent years, the water drop shaped prosthesis has gradually entered the threshold of domestic plastic surgery departments and plastic surgery hospitals, and has been much sought after. The big feature of the water drop shaped prosthesis is its asymmetry, and its shape is teardrop shaped. After being implanted in the breast, its high point is located at an eccentric position, which is more similar to the real breast shape. A pair of drop shaped prostheses will cost about 8000 yuan more than ordinary prostheses, but they are still very popular. Here are two different shapes of prostheses:
Many literatures summarizing the application experience of water drop shaped breast augmentation prosthesis have been checked before, and most of them show that the implantation result of water drop shaped prosthesis is satisfactory, but in fact, the water drop shaped prosthesis is not perfect.
In clinical use, the advantages of the drop shaped prosthesis can also be turned into disadvantages to some extent:
1. Limited incision for prosthesis placement
Due to the relatively difficult placement of the drop shaped prosthesis and the requirement for accurate placement during the operation, the placement of the prosthesis can hardly be completed by using the conventional transaxillary approach alone. In order to facilitate the operation, the incision through areola or fold under breast is usually selected for anatomical prosthesis augmentation surgery.
The inframammary fold incision is easy to form obvious scar after operation, while the areola incision will increase the difficulty of operation in vain when facing the recipient of small areola.
2. Postoperative prosthesis is easy to rotate
Because the round prosthesis is a symmetrical structure, the rotation of any angle has no effect on the breast augmentation effect, but the anatomical prosthesis is different. Its asymmetric structure emphasizes the * * placement of the prosthesis, and any difference in placement angle may lead to differences in breast morphology.
This requires the operator to achieve preoperative * * body surface marking, intraoperative * * peeling and * * placement of prosthesis. In fact, the * * degree of these operations is somewhat difficult.
In addition, the drop shaped prosthesis is not suitable for all women who want to have breast augmentation. If the breast of the recipient is not well developed and the chest is very flat, or because the gland has drooped, the use of the drop shaped prosthesis will undoubtedly increase the visual flatness of the breast. Therefore, girls are advised not to blindly pursue the shape of the prosthesis, Be sure to choose a suitable breast augmentation prosthesis under the guidance of your doctor.
