For many women that are looking to have breast augmentation surgery, ensuring that they look as natural as possible is an important consideration for them. Fortunately, recent technologies and modern techniques within cosmetic surgery have made it easier for patients to be provided with more natural-looking breast implants.
What breast augmentation options are available?
There are many options available when it comes to augmenting your breasts. Although it may be overwhelming, it is in fact extremely beneficial that you have the options available to you. There are both advantages and disadvantages to each technique, making it easier to find an option that suits your needs.
Saline implants
In recent years, saline implants have been considered the most popular option for patients. There have been many benefits associated with having saline implants which is why it remains a popular choice even now:
– It can be placed with a smaller incision
– It’s an option for patients under the age of 22
– More likely to provide symmetry
– If it ruptures, it’s naturally absorbed by the body
There are also some risks to be aware of, despite their many benefits:
– Larger risk of rippling or rupturing
– Feel less natural to the patient
Silicone implants
In recent times, silicone are now considered a more popular option for patients because of their many benefits:
– Feel more natural
– Less likely to ripple or rupture
– Shape appears more stable over time
– Ideal for women with less breast tissues
Similar to saline implants, there are still some disadvantages to silicone implants:
– Larger incisions are required
– If ruptured, it can’t be absorbed by the body
Fat Grafting
The increasing popularity of fat grafting as an option for natural looking breast implants is due to the satisfying results that it’s had for many patients. Its holistic approach to the cosmetic breast implants makes patients feel far more comfortable with the procedure. This is because it utilises fat transfer techniques, taking tissue from the existing parts of the patient’s body and injecting them into the breasts. With this approach, the results are considered more natural looking.
Could I be a candidate for natural-looking breast implants?
The main factors that are considered before a patient is considered a good candidate heavily depends on their natural health, whether they smoke or drink excessively and if what allergies you might have that would interfere with anaesthesia. You also need to be at an ideal weight for the surgery to run smoothly. You’d also need to consider whether you’d be continuing to breastfeed in the future.
