If you want to show off a standout bust and an enviable neckline, now is the time. Whether for aesthetic or health reasons, every day many women undergo one of the most requested surgical procedures: breast augmentation.
However, before opting for this alternative you must make sure you choose good-quality implants. But which are the best breast implants? Does the brand really matter? What aspects should be considered? Keep reading to discover the answers to all these questions.
Is the brand of the breast implant important?
A breast implant is a medical device inserted into the breast area. Its purpose is to increase breast volume when it is lacking, to reconstruct the breast if it is deformed, or to fill the area completely when the person has no breast tissue.
Generally, procedures of this type are performed for aesthetic reasons or because of the need for reconstruction due to the after-effects of certain conditions. For example, the removal of a breast as a result of a cancerous lesion.
Today there is a wide variety of breast implants available on the market. Choosing the most suitable model can make a big difference to the results obtained, both in the short and the long term.
The best breast implants are those that offer broad guarantees, have the relevant certifications and FDA approval. It is also necessary to confirm that they have been manufactured by recognised companies with a long track record in the sector.
At Medics Integral Salut we work only with high-quality brands. In addition, we connect with each of our patients and listen carefully to what they are looking for. We offer the options that suit them best so that they look good without compromising their health.
In the meantime, you should know that the manufacturing processes of these products, as well as their shell and shape, may differ. The following lines give more information on these aspects, so find out right away.
The manufacturing processes are not the same
The most common breast implants are filled with saline solution or silicone gel. In both cases, the manufacturing process is usually relatively artisanal. On the production line, qualified staff meticulously carry out much of the work by hand.
Of course, they are made in a completely aseptic environment. In this space it is essential to control aspects such as humidity, pressure, the concentration of airborne particles and temperature. In essence, to meet the standards set by current regulations.
To manufacture the implants, experts use different techniques or procedures. The Dip Coating technique basically consists of immersion, withdrawal, deposition, drainage and evaporation. For textured models, a laser or moulding process is applied.
The washing and decontamination phase is usually one of the most important in the process. Here you must make sure the device is free of toxicity.
The infamous French implants that caused a stir because of their poor quality were withdrawn from the market entirely. Since then, inspection processes are much more rigorous today.
Control mechanisms were established across all brands so that medical devices provide an adequate user experience without endangering the user's health.
The covering is not the same either
The implant shells are characterised by having finishes of different textures. We find textured and smooth ones.
As for smooth shells, they are less likely to adhere to the tissue. This can cause greater movement of the device within the implant pocket. Of course, round ones can turn over without causing any significant change in how they look.
On the other hand, there are the textured ones. Remember that the type of texturing is closely related to the risk of capsular contracture. A surface that is too rough increases friction against the tissues and prevents the implant from rotating or moving.
If the roughness is too excessive, it could cause the complication of a double capsule or the dreaded capsular contracture. However, a correctly textured shell usually adheres very well to the tissue and keeps the implant where it should be.
Whether smooth or textured, they have all gone through a quality sealing process and their rupture rate is practically zero. During manufacturing, the data is meticulously added to each element to specify the implant's identification information so that it can be traced.
Consider the shape you want
The shape is another key element you should take into account before proceeding with this type of surgery. The most common shapes are round or anatomical. Both offer a good aesthetic result.
However, you should know that, according to studies, anatomical implants have a minimal rate of rotation. Furthermore, although the latest models can be fixed with sutures, they are not always as reliable.
Today, round shapes are the most widely used. This new generation of cohesive gel implants stands out for its high level of ergonomics. For this reason, medical specialists usually propose this alternative.
Also, do not forget that breast implants are designed in different types of profiles. That is, the appearance they have from a lateral perspective. There are several categories of projection in terms of their height and width. They can be low, medium or high profile, or another intermediate size.
Which implant is better?
There is no single answer to this question. It all depends on your particular needs and expectations. The best breast implants are those that fit your anatomy correctly and offer the most natural result.
In view of the above, the professional medical specialist is the person qualified to suggest the best option for you.
However, bear in mind that silicone gel implants are softer thanks to their shell made from that material. They are filled with a semi-cohesive, fairly thick gel that closely resembles natural breast tissue. They also keep their shape intact throughout their useful life.
By contrast, saline implants have a silicone shell and are filled with a sterile solution of water and salt. They are firmer than the previous ones. During the procedure we make very small incisions. They can be placed empty and filled after insertion.
Once you are completely clear about the shape of the implant you want, it is very important to make sure you choose the right size. If you want to project a good appearance and for your breasts not to look fake, choose breast implants of suitable dimensions.
Our specialists can help you determine the ideal size, shape and brand best recommended for you. We will present the alternative that fits you perfectly. If your breasts are too asymmetrical, we will offer you two different sizes to achieve the best possible balance.
