Breast enlargementThe breasts can be enlarged by either inserting the proteases under the breast gland, in front or behind the large breast muscle. The operation is poly clinical and local and sedative anaesthetic is given. Sick-leave from some days up to two weeks is required. Other details as placement of scars, type and size of proteases and so forth is decided with You during consultation. The implant All breast implants which are used to today have a surface made out of silicon which either has a smooth or rough surface. These are filled with firm silicon or with a saline solution. There are two different types of firm silicon implants. One is formed round and the other is anatomically formed, in other words the implant is formed as a water drop which follows the bodies natural form. What implant is most suitable for You depends on Your anatomic possibilities and Your personal taste. Together with the surgeon You will agree on what implant You should choose. What differentiates the implants? The advantage with the firm silicon is that it is soft and follows the body. In comparison the saline implant can give an unnatural consistency in the breast and has a tendency to show from the surface of the skin caused by folds. However the saline implant filling can be regarded natural as two thirds of the body is made up of water. If there is damage to the implant and the liquid leaks out, the body absorbs the saline (salty water) which is completely safe. Silicon filled implants do not leak since they are made out of firm silicon. Even if by chance the implant is damaged, it will stay inside the natural capsule which the body always creates around an implant. Furthermore there are also implants made of liquid silicon but now a days surgeons prefer to use firm silicon since it cannot leak out into the body and is therefore a much safer choice. Where should the scars be placed and are they visible? There are three places to choose from: The first option is to make an incision beneath the breast in the fold towards the chest. The second option is to go through the armpit and from there create a pocket where the implant is placed. The incision is done in the actual armpit area where the hair follicles reside and therefore is least visible. The third option is to place the incision around the breast nipple but this requires that the breast nipples are large enough. Gradually the scars will heal and get lighter. However if they are disturbing we have a special technique, called the Shamá method and it camouflages the incision scars up to 90 %. Even with a magnifier one can hardly see the camouflage! This treatment is much appreciated as it hides the last traces of Your surgery. Risks and complications The largest risk with a breast enlargement surgery is that the breast can feel harder then normal, so called capsular contraction. This occurs in about 6 % of all breast enlargement surgeries. This is surgically removed. Other described complications are bleeding or infection the first few days, bad scarring or decreased sensation. These are however not permanent and are easily cured with time, surgery, or antibiotics depending on what the complication may be. Conclusion: It is Your pre-existing physical conditions and desires which are in focus. Whilst consulting with your surgeon You together will decide which method, technique and what type of implant is exclusively correct for You.
