Every patient before augmentation mammoplasty faces the problem of choosing an endoprosthesis. Even after a visit by several experts, they may not get a definitive answer.
For a long time, round implants were the only possible choice for breast augmentation. And, despite the emergence of anatomical, which closely follow the natural contours of the mammary gland, the spherical shape is still the preference of many plastic surgeons.
Medicine does not stand still, so the new generation of round implants differs from the old by better quality, both in strength and appearance of the finished result. Modern round endoprostheses do not look artificial as they used to, and they are also soft to the touch.
Types of round implants
Round implants can vary by filling type:
- Saline.They contain saline that is absorbed by the body without harm after release.
- Silicone.Filled with cohesive, non-flowing gel. It does not expire even when the shell breaks.
- Two-chamber.Combines silicone and saline.
- Biocompatible.Contains a biodegradable gel based on natural polymers.
By type of profile, spherical endoprostheses can be:
- flat- low profile;
- convex- high profile.
Who can use round implants
It is a misconception that it is better to place round endoprostheses for young girls with small breasts. The choice of implant depends not only on the patient's wishes, but also on her physiological characteristics. When choosing, the plastic surgeon takes into account the height, type of figure and structure of the chest. In addition, it is necessary to take into account a woman's occupation and her daily activities. For example, athletes often use ball-shaped endoprostheses.By choosing round implants you can achieve the same natural effect as with anatomical ones. It depends on the method of endoprosthesis implantation. If a round implant is inserted under the pectoral muscle, then under its pressure the gel pours into the lower part and takes the shape of a tear. The degree of muscle pressure depends on his physiological abilities. Implantation of 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 numerous advantages, due to which the choice of both 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 the operation of installing a round implant.
- It is not necessary to wear compression garments for a long time in the postoperative period.
- Fills the upper chest lift for a "push-up" effect.
- Rotating the implant does not change the shape of the breast.
- Has a natural effect in any position.
- Possibility to install a prosthesis with any approach.
Of course, the final choice of implant shape depends only on you, but it is worth listening to the opinion of a competent plastic surgeon, because he has performed more than a dozen operations, and knows what the final result will look like in one case or another.
