Every patient before augmentation mammoplasty faces the problem of choosing an endoprosthesis. Even after visiting some specialists, she may not get a definite answer.
For a very long time, round implants were the only possible solution for breast augmentation. And, despite the appearance of anatomy, 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 stand still, so the new generation of round implants differs from the old in better quality, both in strength and in the appearance of the finished result. Modern round endoprostheses do not look artificial as they once did, and are also soft to the touch.
Types of round implants
Round implants can vary in the type of filling:
- Salted.They contain a saline solution, which, when released, is absorbed by the body without causing harm.
- Silicone.Filled with cohesive gel, no leaks. It does not come out even when the shell is broken.
- Two rooms.Combines silicone and salt solution.
- Biocompatible.Contains a biodegradable gel based on natural polymers.
Depending on the type of profile, spherical endoprostheses can be:
- flat- low profile;
- convex- with a high profile.
Who can use round implants
The idea that it is better to install round endoprostheses 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 its 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 woman's profession and her daily activities. For example, female athletes often use ball-shaped endoprostheses.
By choosing round implants, you can achieve the same natural effect as anatomical ones. It depends on the method of implantation of the endoprosthesis. If a round implant is inserted under the pectoral muscle, then under its pressure the gel flows to the bottom and acquires a teardrop shape. The degree of muscle pressure depends on his physiological abilities. Installing an endoprosthesis under the mammary gland does not give such a result.
Benefits of round breast augmentation
Round implants are used more often than anatomical ones. They have a number of advantages, due to which the choice of patients and plastic surgeons falls on them.
- The price of round endoprostheses is lower than the price of anatomical ones.
- it is easier and less problematic for a specialist to perform an operation to install a round implant.
- It is not required to wear compression garments too long in the postoperative period.
- Fills the upper chest lift for a "push" effect.
- Implant rotation does not change the shape of the breast.
- Has a natural effect in any position.
- Ability to install a prosthesis through any access.
Of course, the final choice of implant shape is up to you, but it is worth listening to the opinion of a competent plastic surgeon, because he has performed more than a dozen surgeries and knows what the final result will look like in acase or in another.
