Adjustable Breast Implants

After the surgery many women complain that they are not comfortable with the size of their implants for they are either too big or too small. Thus, surgeons have created the adjustable breast implants in order to end this “implant remorse”.

The adjustable breast implant is a design that allows surgeon to reshape and to pump up or tone down a cup size within six months of the surgery, to meet the patients’ needs. There are two main types adjustable breast implants: saline, and saline core and silicone shell adjustable implants. The procedures consists making an incision on the lower part of the breast near the chest wall or under the lower portion of the areola (Inframmary incision). A couple of months after the operation, the surgeon then uses a syringe to inject either one of the implant previously used.

There several benefits associated with adjustable breast implants such as: the decreased patient anxiety regarding size, better breast symmetry, and patients’ control over the size and final results. The only known risks would be the ones I mentioned in past blogs— Susceptible Risks of Breast Implants.. Nevetheless, according to an article by the ABC News, “ Not all plastic surgeons are excited bout the idea of adjustable implants.” I guess, further studies will be needed to determine all the pros and cons of such implants.

As I said in past blogs, breasts have been since early times the synonym of femininity, one of women’s greatest physical attributes. The bigger the better, and unfortunately most women allow themselves to be compared to this cultural idea of beauty. They do not accept themselves as they are; thus, they often decide to undergo cosmetic surgery for the simple reason of pleasing their societies, rather than themselves. I have nothing against cosmetic surgery; however, I do believe that if you’re to cut yourself it’d better be for the right reasons, not because someone thinks that you’re not good enough.

Nevertheless, when thinking about having breast augmentation, one must know which procedures will have the best results and how to find the best surgeon. She’ll want to inform herself on the steps that she can take to have the best possible results. Thus, I’ve been writing these blogs: to inform women about all the factors related to breast implants that will allow them to make the right decision.
