The
operation is done under general anesthetic, administered and
monitored throughout the operation by a top anesthetist.
Patients
must to be over 18. Reasons for this type of surgery range
from underdeveloped small breasts and different breast asymmetry
to innate breast anomalies and re-constructive breast surgery.
The
breast enlargement operation with silicone implants, which
started in the early 60s, is considered to be one of the youngest
cosmetic surgeries. Since then millions of women have had
silicone implants and, as a result, reactions to implants
have been well researched and documented, over the years.
It is possible to have a reaction to an implant, like the
forming of a thin membrane as a kind of a natural barrier
to the implant. Reactions of rejection are very rare and manifest
themselves as an infection around an implant.
Silicone
implants are soft and cannot easily be detected by touching
or pressing on the breast. It is important to realize that
patients can nurse without any difficulty, after having an
implant, and that the breast remains accessible for all medical
examinations, because the implant is placed bellow the THYMUS
(breast-gland) or below the breast muscle.
There
are rumors that silicone implants can cause breast cancer
but these are ungrounded and are not true. Nothing has ever
been proven or published in any serious medical literature
to support these claims. Silicone has a wide-range of applications
in medicine and is considered the best material for making
many kinds of implants for use in the human body - because
the human organism accepts it really well. Artificial heart
valves, pacemakers, skin creams and pacifiers for children
are all made with silicone. No medical professionals have
expressed concern for patient's health, when silicone is used.
The
incision can be made in the armpit, near the nipple or below
the breast. Considering these locations, the scar is not visible
after the operation. The results of this type of surgery are
noticeable immediately and the patients are instantly very
satisfied with it.
