How long do silicone breast augmentation last?

Silicone breast augmentation is a common breast augmentation material in medicine. Silicone is implanted into the human chest cavity. Silicone breast augmentation can make the breasts fuller and improve the body shape. For many women who love beauty, it is a quick way to enlarge their breasts. The maintenance time after silicone breast augmentation needs to be determined according to the physical condition. With the development of modern medicine, silicone materials are more advanced and can generally last for 8-35 years, or even longer.

How long do silicone breast augmentation last?

How long can a breast implant last in the body? Generally speaking, any material that is retained in the body should first have good compatibility with human tissue, that is, no tissue rejection, digestion and absorption in the body. This is the condition for insertion into the human body. Whether a breast implant can last long in the human body needs time to prove. Silicone gel implants have been used in the human body for nearly 35 years. As the quality of breast implant materials has gradually improved and surgical methods have been continuously improved, it is still unknown how long the implants can remain in the body, and there is no correct answer. According to relevant foreign data, silicone gel breast implants can remain in the body for at least 8 years and are considered safe.

Breast implant material selection:

The final shape after enhancement depends on the plastic effect of the volume and shape of the breast prosthesis. The size and shape of each person's breast augmentation surgery are not exactly the same. The most important thing is to make the size and shape of the breasts harmonious. Once you have chosen the shape of your breast implant, the next issue is choosing the size that will give you the look you want.

Pros and Cons

This method has been widely used throughout the world since the birth of silicone prostheses in the 1960s. It is a traditional and mature breast augmentation method. Prostheses are divided into silicone and water bags.

advantage:

1. It has been used for decades and is a mature breast augmentation surgery method;

2. The prosthesis can be completely removed when it is no longer needed.

shortcoming:

1. There will be incision scars that cannot be erased after surgical incision;

2. Breast implants are placed under the pectoralis major muscle. They feel different from normal breasts. When the muscles contract, the breasts become hard, resulting in the embarrassing situation that people often say "they turn into stone when hugged."

complication:

1. Breast "hardening" (according to the latest reports, the rate of contracture and hardening is less than 5%);

2. Prosthesis rupture (according to the latest report, the 10-year prosthesis rupture rate is less than 5%). Once ruptured, if it is a water bag, it will have little impact on the body. However, if it is liquid silicone, especially silicone oil, it will penetrate into the body tissue and be difficult to completely remove, which will cause certain harm to the body. Therefore, breast augmentation with implants also has risks.

Silicone breast augmentation

Silicone breast augmentation products can be used in a wide temperature range and have good tissue compatibility. They do not cause cancer, mutagenesis, or teratogenesis. They are also quite satisfactory in terms of tear resistance, hardness, and elastic retraction force. Moreover, silicone breast augmentation is very easy to process and shape, and is also relatively convenient to use. As for the effect, it depends on the individual situation. If there is no sharp object injury after silicone breast augmentation surgery, the silicone will generally not rupture. If it ruptures, the silicone will not flow due to its tight jelly connection and can be removed cleanly. In addition, if a silicone bag is implanted in the breast, a membrane will automatically form around the prosthesis, making the prosthesis relatively closed. No evidence of silicone gel has been found in breast milk. Even if the silicone prosthesis ruptures, the damage will not spread far away.

Injection Breast Augmentation

Injectable breast augmentation involves injecting an artificial chemical substance into the breast space to fill the breasts.
