The Two Main Types Of Breast Implants

By Scott White


The breast implant is one type of prosthesis process which is being used in order to make some changes on the shape, contour, and size of the breasts. For the reconstructive plastic surgeries, the breast implants are placed in order to do the restoration of breasts, making it look more natural. These are often applied to patients who have undergone mastectomy or for chest walls that have congenital defects or deformities.

The devices being utilized for a breast implant are categorized into 3 different groups which include composite filler, saline solution, and silicone gel. But for the breast implants Michigan, two of these most common types are utilized for procedures done in a breast augmentation, mammoplasty, and breast reconstruction. And these types are the silicone implant, filled with gels, and a saline solution, filled with saline solution.

In Michigan, saline solution is one type that used mostly by surgeons for prosthesis procedures using the devices for breasts augmentation. And the reason for this is due to the restrictions provided by FDA regarding on the usage of silicone filled implants. This process has a technical goal of making a technique which is lesser invasive for a surgery when emplacing empty device with a small surgical incision.

For a surgical praxis, when the implants are already emplaced in the pockets, each device will then be filled by the surgeon with the saline solution. Since the insertion incisions are required to be short and be small, the result of incision scars surely would be shorter and smaller as well compared to the usual surgical scars with long incisions which are required for the insertion of gel.

Thus, when this is being compared to silicone gel types, it will surely be yielding much acceptable results specifically for an increase in size, and thus, it becomes smoother and also has a hemisphere contour and its texture becomes realistic. However, the patient may also be experiencing the side effects like having cosmetic problems. The problems would include wrinkling and rippling the envelope skins, and the lower pole stretches will be accelerated.

Aside from cosmetic problems, people may also be facing technical problems which include the visibility of implants and this would mean that it can be seen easily and felt if touched. Usually, cosmetic problems may occur only when a particular woman has a lesser number of tissues. Women who have undergone a post mastectomy are suggested to be implanted with silicone gels using prosthetic devices for both reconstruction and augmentation processes.

However, being one of the medical device technologies, the gels implant has five generations. Each generation is being defined by some common techniques for model manufacturing. The first one is made from rubber envelope sac. Its shape is similar to a teardrop and is filled with silicone gels. In order to reduce the emplacement rotation on chest wall, this is affixed into the pocket using the fastener patch.

Second generation features both aesthetic improvements and functional developments of a product. Both third and fourth generations, for the manufacturing technology are sequential advances. These technologies include shells coated with an elastomer for decreasing the gel bleed and having thicker filler gel.

And in fifth generation, a high strength cohesive gel is used. This will eliminate filler leakage occurrences. And also, eliminates silicone filler migrations in pockets. Another term for these implants is gummy bear breasts implant since the features are very similar to gummy bears.
