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 used in the breast implant are classified into three and these are the silicone gel, composite filler, and saline solution. But for breast implants Michigan, there are two most common types which are being used in the procedures of breast reconstruction, breast augmentation, and mammoplasty. These two are the saline implant which is filled by a saline solution and a silicone implant which is filled by gels.

In Michigan, the most commonly used type for prosthesis by most devices is the saline implant for the augmentation of breasts. This is because the silicone filled implants have been restricted by the FDA for some reasons. Its technical goal is making it a lesser invasive technique of surgery to emplace an empty device through the small surgical incision.

In a surgical praxis, if implants are emplaced already in pockets, each of the device is then filled by surgeons with the saline solutions. Since the incisions that are inserted will require small and short sizes, it is expected that the resulting sizes of incision scars must be smaller and shorter as well. These are smaller than the common surgical scars having long incisions to be able to insert the gel.

Thus, when this is being compared to silicone gel types, it will surely be yielding much acceptable results specifically for an increase in size, and thus, it becomes smoother and also has a hemisphere contour and its texture becomes realistic. However, the patient may also be experiencing the side effects like having cosmetic problems. The problems would include wrinkling and rippling the envelope skins, and the lower pole stretches will be accelerated.

Aside from cosmetic problems, people may also be facing technical problems which include the visibility of implants and this would mean that it can be seen easily and felt if touched. Usually, cosmetic problems may occur only when a particular woman has a lesser number of tissues. Women who have undergone a post mastectomy are suggested to be implanted with silicone gels using prosthetic devices for both reconstruction and augmentation processes.

However, gels are types medical device technologies and these have five important generations. The generations are being defined based on the common techniques of a model manufacturing. In the first generation, materials used are rubber envelope sacs. These are affixed top chest walls for reducing the rotation of emplacements.

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 the last one is made from highly cohesive and high strength gel which most of the time will be eliminating the filler leakage occurrences. Silicone filler migrations from a pocket is also eliminated. Most commonly, the implants are referred as gummy bear implant for breasts, that is, similar to the gummy candies.
