Every patient before augmentation mammoplasty faces the problem of choosing a stent. Even after visiting various specialists, you may not get a definitive answer.
For a long time, round implants were the only possible option for breast augmentation. And, despite the appearance of anatomical ones, which more closely follow the natural contours of the mammary gland, the spherical shape has remained the preference of many plastic surgeons.
Medicine does not stop, therefore, the new generation of round implants differs from the previous one in better quality, both in resistance and in the appearance of the final result. Modern round stents don't look artificial like they used to and are also soft to the touch.
Types of round implants
Round implants may differ in the type of filling:
- Saline solution.They contain a saline solution that, when released, is absorbed by the body without causing harm.
- Silicone.Non-flowing cohesive gel filler. It does not leak even when the shell is broken.
- Two cameras.Combine silicone and saline solution.
- Biocompatible.Contains a biodegradable gel based on natural polymers.
By type of profile, spherical stents can be:
- flat- low profile;
- convex- with a high profile.
Who can use round implants
The opinion that it is better to install round stents for young girls with small breasts is wrong. The choice of an implant depends not only on the wishes of the patient, but also on her physiological characteristics. When choosing it, the plastic surgeon takes into account the height, the type of figure, the structure of the chest. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the occupation of the woman and her daily activities. For example, athletes often use ball-shaped stents.
By choosing round implants, you can achieve the same natural effect as with anatomical ones. It depends on the method of implantation of the stent. If a round implant is inserted under the pectoral muscle, under its pressure, the gel flows to the bottom and acquires a teardrop shape. The degree of muscle pressure depends on your physiological capabilities. Installation of an endoprosthesis under the mammary gland does not give such a result.
Benefits of round breast augmentation
Round implants are used more frequently than anatomical ones. They have a number of advantages, which is why the choice of patients and plastic surgeons rests with them.
- The price of round stents is lower than the price of anatomical ones.
- It is easier and less troublesome for a specialist to perform an operation to install a round implant.
- Long-term use of compression garments is not required postoperatively.
- Fill in the upper chest lift for a "push-up" effect.
- Rotation of the implant does not change the shape of the breast.
- Has a natural effect in any position.
- Possibility of installing a prosthesis through any access.
Of course, the final choice of implant shape is up to you alone, but it is worth listening to the opinion of a competent plastic surgeon, because he has performed more than a dozen operations and knows what the final result will be like in acase or another.
