Every patient before breast augmentation is faced with the problem of choosing an endoprosthesis. Even if she visited a few experts, she might not get a clear answer.
For a long time, round implants have been the only possible option for breast augmentation. And, despite the appearance of anatomical structures that more closely follow the natural contours of the breast, the spherical shape is still the preference of many plastic surgeons.
Medicine has not stagnated, so the new generation of round implants differs from the old ones in terms of strength and finished appearance. Modern round prostheses don’t look like they were artificial, and they feel soft to the touch.
Types of round implants
The filling type of round implants may vary:
- Salt water.Contains a salt solution, which will be absorbed by the body after release without causing harm.
- Silicone.Filled with viscous, non-flowing gel. Even if the shell is broken, it will not ooze.
- Two chambers.Combine organic silicon and salt solution.
- is biocompatible.Contains biodegradable gel based on natural polymers.
According to the type of contour, the spherical endoprosthesis can be:
- Flat-low profile;
- Convex-Has a high profile.
Who can use round implants
The opinion that it is best to install a round prosthesis for young girls with small breasts is wrong. The choice of implant depends not only on the patient's wishes, but also on the patient's physiological characteristics. When choosing, the plastic surgeon will consider height, body type and chest structure. In addition, it is necessary to consider the woman’s occupation and daily activities. For example, female athletes often use spherical prostheses.
By choosing a round implant, you can achieve the same natural effect as an anatomical implant. This depends on the implantation method of the endoprosthesis. If a round implant is inserted under the pectoral muscle, under its pressure, the gel will flow into the lower part and form teardrops. The degree of muscle stress depends on its physical capabilities. Installing a prosthesis under the breast will not produce such results.
Benefits of breast augmentation
Round implants are used more than anatomical implants. They have many advantages, so the choice of the patient and the plastic surgeon depends on them.
- The price of round endoprostheses is lower than the price of anatomical endoprostheses.
- For specialists, it is easier to perform surgery to install round implants and there are fewer problems.
- There is no need to wear compression clothes for a long time after surgery.
- Padded chest lifts to produce a "push-up" effect.
- Rotating the implant will not change the shape of the breast.
- has a natural effect in any position.
- The prosthesis can be installed through any access.
Of course, the final choice of implant shape depends only on you, but it is worth listening to a competent plastic surgeon, because he has performed more than a dozen operations and knows what the final result will be.
