Breast enlargement, a part of breast augmentation, is a popular cosmetic surgery not only in the west but also in many Asian countries. As a popular procedure for women, many medical groups in the Philippines had chosen to specialize in such surgery, including Belo Medical Group, Calayan Medical Group, as well as ENHANCEMENTS.
Although popular, many Filipino women are still unaware of the kinds of implants used in the procedure, and which of these are the safest. So here is some information about the kinds of breast implants used for
breast enlargement Philippines:
Popular Breast Implants
There are two popular and common materials used as breast implants not only in the Philippines but all over the world. These are the saline-based breast implants, and the silicone-based breast implants.
Saline-Based
The saline-based breast implants, according to many cosmetic surgeons, is known to result in a good-to-excellent breast size, contour, and feel, when compared to silicone-implant results. In addition to that, the use of saline-based breast implants can result in lesser incision.
The technical goal of saline-implant technology was allowing a surgical technique for emplacing an empty breast-implant device through a smaller surgical incision.
After having emplaced the empty breast implants into the implant pockets, the plastic surgeon then fills each device with saline solution, and, because the required insertion incisions are small, the resultant incision-scars will be smaller than the surgical scar usual to the long incision required for inserting pre-filled, silicone-gel implants.
However, many medical groups that specialize in breast enlargement Philippines, such as ENHANCEMENTS, warn about the use of saline-based breast implants. The reason why is because the saline implant is likelier to cause cosmetic problems such as rippling, wrinkling, and being noticeable to the eye and to the touch.
This is especially true for women with very little breast tissue, and for post-mastectomy reconstruction patients; thus, silicone-gel implants are the superior prosthetic device for breast augmentation and for breast reconstruction.
Silicone-Based
The silicone-based breast implants, according to
cosmetic surgery Philippines, is the best material used for breast enlargement. Since the mid-1990s, the Fifth generation of silicone breast implant is made of a semi-solid gel that mostly eliminates filler leakage (silicone gel bleed) and silicone migration from the breast to elsewhere in the body.
The studies Experience with Anatomical Soft Cohesive Silicone gel Prosthesis in Cosmetic and Reconstructive Breast Implant Surgery (2004) and Cohesive Silicone gel Breast Implants in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery (2005) reported low incidence rates of capsular contracture and of device-shell rupture, improved medical safety and technical efficacy greater than earlier generations of breast implant device.
