Procedure of chest implant surgery
Breas-t augmentation surgery in Mohali using chest implants done at Tattv Healthcare is a multi-step procedure. In this procedure, the surgeon will make an incision and place the implants in a pocket underneath the chest tissue. The implants are then placed in this tissue and the incision is closed, most commonly with absorbable sutures.
The different types of incisions in practice that can be made to place the implants are:
- Inframammary: In the chest crease underneath the chest. Transaxillary: Near the arm pit.
- Transaxillary: Near the arm pit.
- Periareolar: halfway around the black area surrounding the nipple.
- Transumbilical: In the belly button/navel (Only for Saline implants)
The planes where the implants can be placed under the chest may be behind the gland or the muscle. The surgeon is the best person to suggest where should the implants be placed depending on certain factors that are best discussed after the physical examination.
What are my options for different types of implants?
There have never been more choices for chest implants. The following options are available, depending on your medical history, body shape and aesthetic goals.
Silicone chest implants (gel-filled)
These are the most commonly used chest implants throughout the world. They are pre-filled with soft silicone gel in a silicone shell.
Silicone chest implants (cohesive gel)
These are pre-filled implants also called as gummy-bear or form-stable implants. The silicone gel used in these implants is more form-stable and are.
Saline chest implants
These implants have sterile salt water filled in them instead of silicone. They may be pre-filled or may be inflated after the implant has been placed in the pocket of the chest, hence the incision used for their placement is smaller than the silicone implant.
In this method, the fat from one’s own body for e.g. the thighs, the abdomen or the buttock is used. The fat is harvested by the method of liposuction, filtered and purified for injection and the fat is inserted at different planes of the chest through injections. This can be considered a virtually scar-less technique. This method is still in its evolution phase, although it has shown much promise. A chest lift may be combined with any of these procedures if the chests are droopy and need a lift as well as volume.
The USFDA has approved the usage of silicone implants in chest enhancement surgeries. It is important for women having chest implants to know that although the implants last quite long, it may need to be replaced. One must stay in touch with her aesthetic surgeon to have periodic examinations and checks and must report in case of any change that seems to require attention like sudden swelling and pain in the chest after the implant.
