Optional prosthesis for breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to increase breast fullness and shape by implanting a prosthesis. When choosing prostheses, patients need to make decisions according to their own needs and doctors' suggestions. Here are some common breast augmentation prosthesis options.
1. Saline prosthesis
Saline prosthesis is one of the most common breast augmentation prosthesis. They are composed of a saline bag wrapped with an outer layer, and the amount of saline can be adjusted as needed to change the size and shape of the breast. Saline prosthesis has the following advantages:
First, the price of saline prosthesis is relatively low, suitable for patients with budget constraints. Secondly, if the prosthesis ruptures, the saline can be absorbed and discharged from the body without harm to the body. In addition, saline prosthesis can adjust the size and shape of the breast by injecting or extracting saline.
However, saline prosthesis has some disadvantages. Due to the low density of brine, their texture is relatively soft and sometimes may not be natural enough. In addition, when the prosthesis breaks, the patient will immediately notice that the breast becomes smaller, and repair surgery needs to be carried out as soon as possible.
2. Silicone prosthesis
Silicone prosthesis is another common choice for breast augmentation. Silica gel is a kind of viscous gel like material with high density and realism. Silicone prosthesis has the following advantages:
First, due to the soft texture of silicone, silicone prosthesis can better imitate the touch and movement of real breast. Secondly, silicone prosthesis is more natural in appearance and can produce more natural breast shape and curve. In addition, the risk of silicone prosthesis rupture is relatively low, and even if rupture occurs, the silicone will not leak immediately.
However, silicone prosthesis also has some risks and limitations. First, if the silicone prosthesis breaks, the silicone may seep into the surrounding breast tissue, which may need further surgery to remove. Secondly, due to the particularity of silicone prosthesis, patients need to conduct regular MRI examination to observe the condition of the prosthesis.
3. Autologous fat transplantation
Autologous fat transplantation is a kind of surgery that extracts the patient's own fat and injects it into the breast area after processing. Autologous fat transplantation has the following advantages:
First of all, autologous fat transplantation does not need to implant an external prosthesis, but uses the patient's own fat to plump the breast. This avoids dependence on external materials and reduces clinical risks. Secondly, autologous fat transplantation can not only improve the breast shape, but also shape the part where fat is extracted to achieve a comprehensive cosmetic effect.
However, autologous fat transplantation has some limitations. First of all, the operation requires the patient to have enough fat donor sites, such as abdomen, buttocks, etc. Secondly, some of the injected fat may be absorbed or cannot survive, and multiple operations are required to achieve the desired effect. In addition, it is difficult to predict the absorption after fat injection, which requires doctors' rich experience.
4. Breast autotransplantation
Breast autologous tissue transplantation is a kind of breast augmentation surgery using the patient's own breast tissue. This operation is suitable for breast augmentation and shape improvement, especially for patients with breast dysplasia or who have undergone mastectomy.
The advantage of breast autologous tissue transplantation is to use autologous tissue for breast augmentation, without rejection, and with a more realistic and natural shape and touch. However, breast autologous tissue transplantation surgery is more complex, requiring superb technology and experience, and patients need to choose a hospital with rich experience for surgery.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery can choose a variety of prosthesis, such as saline prosthesis, silicone prosthesis, or breast augmentation through autologous fat transplantation and breast autologous tissue transplantation. Each type of prosthesis has its unique advantages and disadvantages, and patients need to choose the appropriate prosthesis according to their own needs and doctors' suggestions. When selecting hospitals and doctors, medical institutions with professional experience and good reputation should be selected to ensure the safety and effect of surgery.
