The Two Main Types Of Breast Implants

By Scott White


A type of process in prosthesis that involves the changing of contour, size, and shape of breasts is called as a breast implant. Fore reconstructive plastic surgeries, these breast implants are being placed to be able to do some restoration in the breasts, thus, will make it look natural. Usually, these are being applied to those patients who previously undergone the process of mastectomy or for people whom the chest walls have some deformities or congenital defects.

The devices to be utilized for this breast implant have three classifications that would include the saline solution, composite filler, and the silicone gel. In breast implants Michigan, two common type are only utilized for mammoplasty, breast reconstruction, and breast augmentation procedures. The two types are silicone implant where in this is using gels and saline solution where in saline solution is used.

In Michigan, one type which is used commonly for the prosthesis process by most of the devices is saline solution for a breasts augmentation. It is because a silicone filled type of implant is being restricted now by FDA because of some specific reasons. The technical goal of this is to make a more less invasive type of technique in surgery for emplacement of an empty device by small surgical incisions.

For a surgical praxis, when the implants are already emplaced in the pockets, each device will then be filled by the surgeon with the saline solution. Since the insertion incisions are required to be short and be small, the result of incision scars surely would be shorter and smaller as well compared to the usual surgical scars with long incisions which are required for the insertion of gel.

If these types are to be compared with silicone gel types, for sure, these would yield much better and acceptable results for an increased size, thus, the result would be smoother, having realistic texture and hemisphere contour. However, having the surgery may also cause side effects and one of which are cosmetic problems. Cosmetic problems include accelerated lower pole stretches and also envelope skins are wrinkled and rippled.

Some other problems that are caused by this are some technical problems including the presence of implants which can be visible to the eye and also when being touched. Most likely, these cosmetic problems may only occur to those women having little tissues. And for those women having the cases of post mastectomy, silicone gels are advisable as prosthetic devices for both augmentation and reconstruction of breasts.

However, being one of the medical device technologies, the gels implant has five generations. Each generation is being defined by some common techniques for model manufacturing. The first one is made from rubber envelope sac. Its shape is similar to a teardrop and is filled with silicone gels. In order to reduce the emplacement rotation on chest wall, this is affixed into the pocket using the fastener patch.

In second generation, a products functional development and aesthetic improvement are both featured. In third generation and fourth generation, sequential advancements of the manufacturing technology are focused. These would include elastomer coated shells so that gel bleed will decrease and will also have thicker filler gel.

And in fifth generation, a high strength cohesive gel is used. This will eliminate filler leakage occurrences. And also, eliminates silicone filler migrations in pockets. Another term for these implants is gummy bear breasts implant since the features are very similar to gummy bears.
