Breast Implant

   Breast implants are a type of medical device that is surgically implanted to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. They are typically made of a silicone shell filled with either saline (sterile saltwater) or silicone gel.

​

   Breast implant surgery is a common cosmetic procedure that can help women achieve a more proportionate and symmetrical body shape, or restore breast volume lost due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. The procedure involves making incisions in the breast tissue or under the chest muscle, creating a pocket for the implant, and placing the implant inside.

​

   There are several factors to consider when choosing breast implants, including size, shape, texture, and type of filling. The surgeon will work with the patient to determine the most suitable implant based on her body type, breast size, and desired outcome.

​

   While breast implant surgery is generally safe and effective, there are potential risks and complications, such as infection, bleeding, scarring, implant rupture or leakage, and changes in nipple or breast sensation. It is important for patients to discuss the potential risks and benefits of breast implant surgery with their surgeon, and to carefully follow post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

​

   Regular follow-up appointments and monitoring are also recommended to detect any issues with the implants over time. In some cases, additional surgeries may be needed to correct complications or replace the implants as they age or wear out.
