> C. Polyurethane (PU) coated implants
Breast Implants
Smooth and Textured implants have elastomeric silicone shell (envelope). Studies have shown non-smooth shell (textured) implants decreases the chance of development of capsular contracture (a common long-term complication of breast implants). PU coated implants are also silicone filled and claims an even lower rate of contracture. Only A and B are approved for use by the US FDA.
Based on shapes, the common ones are rounded. The newer versions are anatomic (tear-shaped) and carry a higher price.
Saline filled implants have more tendencies to cause cosmetic problems like rippling and wrinkling compared to silicone-filled implants (filled with viscous materials).
IMPLANT PLACEMENT
Implant placement varies with the volume of existing breast tissue and skin/fat layer thickness. Behind the breast (sub-glandular) for those with adequate breast tissue. Deeper under the muscle placement is recommended for very thin subjects.
Breast Augmentation/ Breast Enlargement
Sub-glandular placement is the most preferred (if possible) as it places the implants in the most anatomical location resulting to better and natural look.
INCISIONS
There are three (3) types of incisions for breast enlargement using implants.
- Axillary (trans-axillary)
- Peri-areolar
- Infra-mammary
