While breast implants can instantly increase the size of your breasts to your desired cup size, there are still conflicting opinions on the longevity of the implants. Today on the chest implant life and the implant in the chest may happen and happen to discuss in detail! Breast implant contracture, deformation, displacement, breakage after breast augmentation Breast implant possible complications: 1, contracture of the peritoneum, after breast augmentation surgery, the formation of fibrous envelope around the breast implant will be wrapped around, in general, the envelope is thinner, softer, the binding force of the implant is not great, the breasts feel good; if due to the influence of certain factors, stimulate the fibrous tissue overgrowth, peritoneum become hypertrophic, from the periphery of the implant to the center of the tightening (contracture), so that the implant is tightened in a very small capsule cavity. 2, incision cracking: mostly occur in the use of lower crease incision. It is related to the prosthesis is too big or the separation cavity is too small, and the incision is infected. 3.Leakage or rupture of prosthesis: the reason is that the quality of breast augmentation prosthesis is not satisfactory, the preoperative inspection is not strict, and the prosthesis is punctured by improper operation during the operation. 4, fibrous envelope thickening and contraction, then the breast will be hard, deformation, mostly in six months, one side or both sides. 5. Unsatisfactory appearance: asymmetry or improper size and position. It is related to improper selection of implant size and insufficient separation of cavity. It should be observed and adjusted immediately after the implant is placed in the operation. 6, postoperative nipple areola sensory loss: related to the damage of the branches of the 3rd, 4th and 5th intercostal nerves, most of which can be recovered after half a year, and there are a few permanent loss. 7, incision scar: every kind of incision will leave a scar, and those who have keloid body should try not to do it. 8, hematoma, breast implant breast augmentation, implanted prosthesis is a tissue substitute, stripping the cavity is larger, there may be postoperative hematoma, usually occurring within 4 to 48 hours after surgery. Small hematomas usually have no obvious feeling and mostly absorb on their own. Bleeding more to form a large hematoma, the patient will feel persistent swelling or throbbing pain in the breast, localized swelling of the breast, increased tension, skin bruising bruises appear. How many years is the life span of breast implant? Viewpoint 1: The life span of breast implant is related to the material of the implant Nowadays, the material of the implant mainly includes American Mentor MAGA, French ES, British NAGA, and Shanghai Venning, etc., which are divided into imported, joint venture and domestic ones. Silicone gel breast implants generally retained in the body for 8-12 years is safer, due to the interaction between the silicone gel and human tissue fluid, there will still be some changes, so the replacement or removal within the above time should be considered as safe. Personal opinion: the quality of the implant material is gradually improving and enhancing, and the surgical method is also constantly improving, so there is no accurate answer to say exactly how long the service life of breast implant is. In the domestic application of similar materials is only more than 10 years, how many people do keep in the body for more than 10 years without any problem, still there is no accurate information to prove. Opinion 2: the life of the prosthesis and the body’s recovery situation related to the operative area if the blood is not sufficiently elicited, the formation of hematomas, postoperative contracture of the periosteum of the seizure rate will be greatly increased. If there is hidden infection in the operative area, the incidence of periosteoconstriction will be greatly increased. The presence of a foreign body increases the incidence of postoperative contracture. Once contracture occurs, the prosthesis will become increasingly stiff, poor in feel, deformed, and may displace. At this point, no matter how long your prosthesis has survived in the body, it should be removed promptly. Summarize: contracture is a common complication of breast augmentation, it may occur within a few months after surgery or a few years after surgery, generally discomfort must be taken out in time to avoid causing more serious consequences! Breast implants should come in for review one month after surgery, three months after surgery, six months after surgery, and one year after surgery. Later one year need a review, review is mainly the doctor for physical examination, and ultrasound to see the integrity of the implant. An MRI is also needed more than 1 year after surgery when the ultrasound suspects leakage or rupture. Final conclusion: breast implant currently hospitals say there is not a clear life expectancy, any speculation on the life expectancy of the implant is only a prediction of the life expectancy of the material itself, stored in the body for a few years, decades are a small number of case studies on a small number of parts of the applicant, is not enough to measure all the population. The material does not determine the skill of the surgeon, the success of the surgery, or the difference in individual fitness. Therefore, the longevity of prosthesis still needs to be further demonstrated. However, the implant must be removed eventually, regardless of its lifespan of a few years, and cannot be permanently stored in the chest! Suggestion: If you have enough fat, you can choose breast augmentation with autologous fat, which is safe, non-rejection and permanent after the fat from your own body has been activated. With such available resources, there is absolutely no need to choose a foreign substance like prosthesis to be implanted in your body.
