Breast augmentation surgery is in continuous evolution and over time offers greater guarantees for patients who decide to undergo this type of intervention. In the last 5 years, new designs and materials have been developed for breast prostheses, which provide greater comfort to those women who decide to undergo augmentation mammoplasty.
The anatomical implants made with cohesive gel, unlike the round ones, are the most chosen by patients and surgeons to have a lifetime duration, so it is not necessary to have to be changed every 10 years as marked by the protocol for the previous silicone gel prostheses. This is one of the greatest guarantees for the patient who decides to have implants without resorting to her own grafts.
This type of anatomical models have also modified their placement technique, since they are now placed above the pectoral muscle and behind the muscle fascia, thus preventing movement of the prosthesis or the breast from sagging.
Only 0.3% rupture rate after 10 years
Studies on the reliability of the prostheses have indicated only 0.3% of possible breakage after 10 years, a minimum percentage that can be corrected with a greater revision and control of the breasts in the specialist’s office.
In any case, as the plastic surgeon Pedro Darnell Buisán indicates in his Blog, the anatomy of each person determines the results of the prostheses and, therefore, it is important to visit medical specialists beforehand.
