Disadvantages of Breast Augmentation in Iran

• Although more durable, they still need replacement after a while.
• Following implant removal and replacement, complications such as pain, asymmetry of the breasts, lifestyle changes, and other symptoms can occur.
• There is an increased possibility of a rare disease called large cell lymphoma.

Why Breast Augmentation in Iran?

Rupture of the saline implant: It quickly disappears like a balloon when the saline implant ruptures. Due to a hole or rupture in the implant, saline is expelled and is safely absorbed by the surrounding tissue. The breast loses its size and shape with salt leakage and eventually becomes dramatically different from the other breast. The risk of salt leakage is rare in the first few years, but it increases by one percent each year.

Rupture of the silicone implant: Often referred to as a “silent rupture,” which is quite different than the saline ones. There is a thick silicone gel inside silicone implants, which often remains inside the implant or the surrounding tissue even if the implant ruptures. For this reason, it is often difficult to detect the rupture time of silicone implants. You may notice a decrease in breast size, lumpy appearance, or changes in breast sensation such as tingling, swelling, burning, or numbness.

Breast Implant Rippling: In some cases, implants can cause wrinkles or ripples. You may be able to feel these waves, and in severe cases, the waves may be visible through the skin.

Breast Postural Change: While breast implants can change your appearance, they cannot stop the aging process. As you get older, gravity still works, and you may experience breast drooping. Drastic weight changes can also change the position of the prosthesis. You can consider a breast lift or implant replacement to get your breasts back to the desired shape in this condition.

Personal choice: Some women want to change the appearance of their breasts sometime after the initial surgery. This may mean reconstructive surgery with larger or smaller implants or even complete removal of the implants.

There are two basic options in positioning a breast implant:

• Above the chest muscles, just below the breast tissue (Subglandular)
• Under the breast tissue and chest muscles (Submuscular)

When the breast implant is placed above the chest muscles, the natural breast tissue alone covers it. This procedure may not be a problem for women who have enough breast tissue, but for women who do not have enough breast tissue to cover the prosthesis, placing it under a muscle will not seem normal.

In the Submuscular method, breast implants are placed under the muscle and tissue. Since the chest wall covers the prosthesis, the only thing that can be felt is the natural breast tissue. Placing a breast prosthesis under the chest muscles can help hide defects such as ripples and wrinkles that sometimes affect saline implants.

Proper care of breast implants can help increase their lifespan, and this care starts from the time of recovery after surgery. For example, your plastic surgeon advises you to use a medical bra while recovering. If you do not follow these instructions, lack of support can further be drooping over time. You should always follow the instructions advised by your plastic surgeon for annual examinations. If you have a silicone implant, the FDA recommends obtaining an MRI three years after the initial surgery and then every two years. Proper care of implants can help you extend the life of your new appearance.

Types of Incisions Made for Breast Prosthesis Placement

Incisions made for your breast prosthesis can affect the naturalness of your breasts. There are three ways to cut:

Incisions made to perform your breast prosthesis can affect the naturalness of your breast sensation. There are three ways to do the incision:

• In the underarm (Transaxillary)
• Under the Breast Hill (Inframammary)
• Around the nipple (areolar)

With areolar placement, a pale scar may form around the nipple that hides in the dark skin of the areola. It may cause a small scar under the breasts where the breasts face the chest. Using a combination of both options, proper incision care will help improve the appearance and size of the breast.

Underarm incisions eliminate the risk of scarring in the breasts and may lead to a more natural look. However, since the incision site is so far from the surgical site, it is much more difficult to ideally insert when the breast implants are placed under the armpit.

Types of Breast Implants

There are two basic types of breast implants: saline and silicone gel. Saline implants are filled with salt and sterile saline. Some are pre-filled, and others are served during the prosthesis operation. Silicone implants are filled with gel-filled with plastic gel.

Both silicone and saline implants are safe for breast augmentation and tissue regeneration. Research on the safety and effectiveness of both types of implants is ongoing. Silicone breast implants are more similar to normal breast tissue than saline type.

Fat Injection

This surgery is minimally invasive with a shorter and faster recovery period, resulting in a more natural shape and form.

Silicone Prosthesis

This surgery requires general anesthesia but is an invasive procedure with a more extended recovery period. In this method, the breasts are enlarged to the desired size and achieve complete symmetry.

Saline Prostheses

These prostheses are filled with sterilized salt and have an internal structure similar to soft silicone prostheses.

Which type of prosthesis is safer?

Silicone prostheses are generally safe if performed by a qualified and skilled surgeon. But some people believe that saline prostheses may be safer. Because when the prosthesis is torn, most of the water and salt inside it will be absorbed by the body. When the salt prosthesis is torn, you will notice it immediately, and you can take the necessary measures.

Sizes of Breast Prosthesis

Breast prostheses range in size from 80 ccs to 800 ccs, with the most common size for a prosthesis or breast implant being between 350 and 450 ccs. Click here to learn more about Types of Breast Prostheses.

Best Age for Breast Augmentation

It is recommended to have breast prostheses until you reach puberty and are over 18. Breast growth and development are still in their infancy in this age group, so surgery before total change disrupts the normal breast growth process. The operation may produce complications such as breast deformity if performed on breasts that have not developed fully.

At least 18 years of age or the early 20s is an excellent time to get a saline prosthesis, and at least 22 years of age is the perfect time to get a silicone prosthesis. If the patient aims to reshape and reconstruct the breast, it will be possible to receive the prosthesis at any age, under any circumstances. There is no age limit.

Breast Augmentation Post-Operation Care

• See a doctor immediately if the fever and rash of the skin do not improve within 48 hours after breast prosthesis surgery or if the body temperature is above 38 ° C.
• To achieve acceptable results after surgery, you need to take special care during recovery. Following your doctor’s instructions and having complete information is essential for healing, returning to everyday life, and starting daily activities. After breast prosthesis surgery, the breasts may be slightly swollen, which may last for months to heal.
• You may have a slight fever for 48 hours after surgery, and your body temperature may reach 38°C. Also, the skin of the breast turns red or pink, which is normal and not a sign of problems such as an infection. Instead, it is a sign that the breast tissue has accepted the prosthesis. Most patients return to normal after about a week. But notice that the healing process is still ongoing and is not being achieved quickly.
• So avoid exercising and doing strenuous activities that increase your heart rate and blood pressure. The edema of the breasts will be resolved after a month, but you can return to work and normal activities after seven days. There are symptoms such as tingling or numbness around breast incisions, but they heal within a month.
• After six weeks, the scarring and edema of the breasts heal, and the final form of the breasts gradually appears. It is advised to sleep on your back following surgery. It is recommended that you keep your upper body higher during sleep for two to four weeks after surgery. Do not get pregnant for at least three to four months after surgery to achieve full recovery.
