Every patient before augmentation mammoplasty is faced with the problem of choosing an endoprosthesis. Even after a visit to several specialists, she may not receive a definite answer.
For a very long time, round implants were the only possible choice for breast augmentation. And despite the advent of anatomicals that follow more closely the natural contours of the mammary gland, the spherical shape remains the preference of many plastic surgeons.
Medicine does not stand still, which is why the new generation of round implants differs from the old ones in better quality, both in terms of strength and the type of end result. Modern round endoprostheses do not look artificial as before, and are also soft to the touch.
Types of round implants
Round implants may differ in the type of filling:
- Saline.They contain saline, which, when released, is absorbed by the body without causing harm.
- Silicone.Filled with cohesive, non-flowing gel. It does not leak even when the shell is broken.
- Two-chamber.Combines silicone and saline.
- Biocompatible.Contains biodegradable gel based on natural polymers.
According to the profile type, spherical endoprostheses can be:
- flat- low profile;
- convex- 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 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. This depends on the method of implanting the endoprosthesis. If a round implant is placed under the pectoral muscle, under its pressure the gel flows into the lower part and acquires the shape of a tear. The degree of muscle pressure depends on its physiological abilities. Installing an endoprosthesis under the mammary gland does not give such a result.
Benefits of Round Breast Enlargement
Round implants are used more often than anatomical ones. They have a number of advantages, due to which the choice of both patients and plastic surgeons falls on them.
- The cost of round endoprostheses is lower than the cost of anatomical ones.
- It is easier and less problematic for a specialist to perform surgery to install a round implant.
- It does not require very long wearing of compression garments in the postoperative period.
- Fills the upper chest lift for a push-up effect.
- The rotation of the implant does not change the shape of the breast.
- Has a natural effect in any position.
- Ability to install the prosthesis through any access.
Of course, the final choice of the shape of the implant depends only on you, but it is worth listening to the opinion of a competent plastic surgeon, because he has done more than a dozen operations and knows what the end result will look in one case or another. .
