Breast implants are used for two reasons; breast augmentation and breast reconstruction. In the case of augmentation the implant restores or enhances the shape of the natural breast and is often a procedure used by women who have small or sagging breasts. In the case of breast reconstruction, this is when a breast mound is created after a mastectomy.
There are two types of breast implants that are in common use; those that are filled will a saline solution and those that are filled with silicone gel, both of which use a silicone casing or outer shell. Recently a fifth generation silicone gel implant commonly called “Gummy Bear” has been introduced to the US market; they are thought to be the safest breast implants in New York as the gel has texture not unlike a gummy bear candy and will not leak or leave the shell in the event of a rupture.
Which are the safest breast implants in New York?
The design and integrity of breast implants changes as the product goes through various stages of development. Currently saline implants and silicone gel implants are both considered equal, but be that as it may, they do have certain pros and cons that should be considered by the woman.
Ruptures: Getting a rupture in a breast implant is a risk with either the saline or gel filled implant. A rupture can be caused by a fall, a surgical error or even from the pressure exerted on the breast while having a mammogram, although this is very rare indeed. Although they can both rupture, there are different implications.
Saline implant: When a saline implant is ruptured it rapidly changes shape and the change is instantly noticeable from the outside. When this happens, the saline solution leaks into the body cavity and adsorbed by the body.
Silicone gel implant: A ruptured silicone gel implant is harder to spot. The older generation of gel implants were made with a gel that was closely aligned to a liquid, it could leak and spread outside the breast. There has never been any reason for concern should this happen. Because the rupture is not all that noticeable, it is suggested by plastic surgeons who do these procedures that an MRI be had every two or three years as it really is the only way to detect a ruptured gel filled implant. The fifth generation implant, the Gummy Bear does not leak even when the outer shell is cut and as such must be considered as the safest breast implant in New York.
