WHAT IS BREAST IMPLANT?

Breast implants are made from Polymer, composed of silicon, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The substances are in a form of gel or rubber found in domestic tools such as polishing agents, tanned lotion, hand cream, deodorant, soap, delicatessen, super hydrophobic coating products, gums and medical tools. 

ARE BREAST IMPLANT SAFE?

Breast implants are medical equipment used in a body such as mechanical valves, knee joints and cervical. Body systems can either much, less, or not at all react to the implants. Moreover, there is no conclusion or evidence which proves that breast implants are danger to a human body. Besides, in reality, breast implants are very common in our daily life

ANALYSIS BEFORE BREAST IMPLANT
    To achieve the best possible results from breast enlargement by implants, it is important for patient to reveal all information needed for a complete analysis. This will help our Doctors to understand exactly the look a patient may be after and help us to deliver the most satisfying results.

SELECT OF APPROPRIATE BREAST IMPLANT
    A surgeon always evaluates patients’ breasts before breast surgery, considering tissue thickness, breast width, a space between nipples and inframammary creases to see the elasticity of breasts and skin. Once deliberated, we can indicate which implant size suits the best. 

INCISION SITE FOR BREAST IMPLANT
Breast  Implants usually can be done in 3 incision sites which are under armpits (Transaxillary Incision), under the breasts (Inframammary incision) and under the areola (Periareolar incision). 

Before the operation, a surgeon will explain in detail of each incision sites for mutual understandings and for what best for each patient. 

    After an assessment of patients’ body figure and breast, our surgeon would then choose the best incision site to place breast implants and also inform pros and cons. For breast enlargement, implants can mainly be placed in 3 positions. 

• Under mammary glands (breast implants placed under breast tissues but above breast muscles) Breast implants under mammary glands helps reduces time of operation and healing process. Some disadvantages may occur; implants’ ripple under skin may become visible and seen with bare eyes. Moreover, diagnostic radiography can be more difficult to perform. 
• Under muscles (breast implants placed under both breast tissues and breast muscles) Breast implants under muscles helps enhance feelings and sensations. And, it also helps reduce a chance of fascia in implants. Diagnostic radiography is much easier but disadvantages include more time of operation and longer recovery period.
• Dual Plane is a combination of breast augmentation with breast implants and botox injection. Upper part of breast implants are placed under breast muscles but lower part of breast implants are placed above breast muscles. Botox injection is to relieve pain and reduce muscle action during the procedure. Than can make a breast gap less wider.

So, the chance of allergy is very few.

Commonly, the first 2-3 days are the most difficult; the average time to go back for normal activities is 4-6 weeks. In the first 7 days, patients should avoid water and should not do any activity that uses much energy, especially the upper part of a body. Resting is highly recommended. In case that patients need to reduce swollen around the breasts, Jacuzzi baths are allowed at least 1 month afterward. The sizes of breast implants can make patients gain more weight so patients should wear bras that support breasts and reduce sagginess of breasts. However, in the first 2 months, no bras are recommended because it can create unsatisfying appearances. 

Are sunbathing and skin tanning allowed after breast enlargement?

Skin tanning and sunbathing do not directly affect breast implants but it can darken the scars. It is good to avoid sunlight or radioactivity from skin tanning to make contact with scars for a year after breast enlargement because the radioactivity from skin tanning can create permanent darker scars. After sunbathing, breast implants can get hotter and might take time to cool down.

When are underwired bras allowed?

How do cigarettes affect the recovery process after breast enlargement?

Smoking can cause the coronary artery disease which decreases an amount of blood and oxygen around the area which are significant to the healing process. Once the amount of oxygen is decreased, the healing process gets slower. A surgeon always specifies a period of time that patients should not smoke both before and after breast enlargement which can be 1 to 5 weeks, depending on individuals. Please consult with a surgeon to be informed every detail about smoking. 

Do we lose nipple sensation?
