Women Get A New Breast Augmentation Option: Silicone ImplantsHave you ever wondered what exactly is up with Breast Augmentation? This informative report can give you an insight into everything you've ever wanted to know about Breast AugmentationAt a recent American Society of Plastic Surgeons meeting, it was announced that the FDA had approved silicone breast implants, and that soon, all plastic surgeons will be able to provide their patients with a new breast implant option. At times, the announcement caused fever pitched conversation and a large buzz within the crowd. It seemed as though the announcement was like the Holy Grail was now being provided to plastic surgeons across the country. Why? “The approval of silicone implants is a great thing, but the choice between the two is something the patient needs to decide, not the plastic surgeon,” says Dr. Fata in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since 1992, when the FDA banned silicone implants, breast augmentation surgeries have grown 306%. Clearly, not having a silicone breast implant option is not that big an issue. There are two questions that must be answered: First, Are saline implants really that bad? Second, What are the benefits (or possible benefits) of silicone implants? To answer the first question, no. “Saline implants are a very good option for women who want to enhance their appearance,” says Dr. Fata “Obviously, if saline implants were an inferior product, the number of breast augmentation procedures would not have sky rocketed in the past 13 years.” The benefits of saline implants include: If you find yourself confused by what you've read to this point, don't despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish. · High Approval Rate (Over 90% of breast augmentation patients would recommend the procedure to another woman) · Proven Track Record · Sterile saline solution is basically harmless to the body · The complication rate has dropped · Fewer number of ruptured implants · Fewer number of capsular contractures (formation of hard scar tissue) Unfortunately, saline implants are not as soft as natural breasts, they are heavier, they can cause sagging over time, and sometimes they can cause noticeable ripples in the skin. So what will silicone implants provide? At the moment, since they have not been widely used since 1992, there is not a proven track record that can provide us with all the benefits silicone implants can provide. So why are all of these plastic surgeons so excited about the approval of silicone implants? Is there really any information about Breast Augmentation that is nonessential? We all see things from different angles, so something relatively insignificant to one may be crucial to another. |
