Every patient before augmentation mammoplasty faces the problem of choosing a stent. Even after visiting several specialists, she may not get a definitive answer.
For a very long time, round implants were the only possible choice for breast augmentation. And, despite the emergence of anatomics, which more closely follow the natural contours of the mammary gland, the spherical shape has remained the preference of many plastic surgeons.
Medicine does not stop, which is why the new generation of round implants differs from the old one in better quality, both in strength and in the appearance of the end result. Modern round stents no longer look artificial like they used to and are also soft to the touch.
Types of round implants
Round implants may differ in the type of filling:
- Saline solution.Contains saline solution which, when released, is absorbed into the body without causing damage.
- Silicone.Filled with non-flowing cohesive gel. It doesn't ooze even when the hull breaks.
- Two bedrooms.Combines silicone and saline solution.
- Biocompatible.Contains a biodegradable gel based on natural polymers.
By the type of profile, the spherical endoprostheses can be:
- flat- low profile;
- convex- with a high profile.
Who can use round implants
The opinion that it is better to install round stents for young girls with small breasts is wrong. The choice of an implant depends not only on the wishes of the patient, but also on her physiological characteristics. When choosing, the plastic surgeon takes into account the height, the type of figure, the structure of the breast. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the profession of the woman and her daily activities. For example, female athletes often use ball-shaped stents.
By choosing round implants, you can achieve the same natural effect as with anatomical implants. It depends on the method of implantation of the stent. If a round implant is inserted under the pectoral muscle, under its pressure, the gel flows into the lower part and takes the shape of a tear. The degree of muscle pressure depends on its physiological capacities. Placing a stent under the mammary gland does not give such a result.
Benefits of round breast augmentation
Round implants are used more often than anatomical implants. They have a number of advantages, due to which the choice of patients and plastic surgeons is up to them.
- The price of round stents is lower than that of anatomical stents.
- It is easier and less problematic for a specialist to perform an operation to install a round implant.
- It is not necessary to wear compression garments for a very long time in the postoperative period.
- Fills the upper part of the chest for a "push-up" effect.
- Rotating the implant does not change the shape of the breast.
- Looks natural in any position.
- Possibility of installing a prosthesis by any access.
Of course, the final choice of implant shape is up to you, but it is worth listening to the advice of a knowledgeable plastic surgeon, since he has performed more than a dozen'operations and knows what the end result will look like in one case or another.
