How long can breast augmentation remain effective?
Breast augmentation surgery is an operation to change the shape and size of the chest by implanting a prosthesis or autologous fat. For many women, breast augmentation surgery can help them get the ideal chest shape, but many people also worry about how long the surgical effect can last. In fact, the lasting effect of breast augmentation surgery is affected by many factors. The following will elaborate on the lasting effect of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: prosthesis types, surgical techniques, daily maintenance and individual differences.
Type of prosthesis
Prosthesis used in breast augmentation surgery are divided into different materials, including saline prosthesis and silicone prosthesis. The saline prosthesis is a kind of rubber bag filled with saline. After surgery, saline is injected to adjust the size of the chest, but its durability is relatively short, usually 5-10 years. The silicone prosthesis is a rubber bag filled with silicone, which has good elasticity and stable shape, so its durability is long, and it can usually last for more than 10 years.
However, the service life of the prosthesis is only a rough reference, and the actual effect is also affected by individual differences and daily maintenance.
Surgical techniques
The lasting effect of breast augmentation surgery is also related to surgical techniques. Preoperative preparation, surgical operation and postoperative care all affect the duration of the surgical effect. It is very important to choose a professional hospital and experienced doctors for breast augmentation surgery.
In addition, the implantation position and method during the operation will also affect the durability of the surgical effect. If the prosthesis is placed under the pectoral muscle, the possibility of long-term maintenance is higher; If the prosthesis is located above the pectoral muscle, because the muscle movement will have a greater impact on the prosthesis, the durability may be low.
The improvement and innovation of surgical techniques are also constantly improving the durability of breast augmentation surgery. For example, some breast augmentation operations now combine autologous fat filling to increase the fullness of the chest through adipocyte transplantation, which can increase the durability of the surgical effect.
Daily maintenance
Daily maintenance also plays a vital role in the lasting effect of breast augmentation surgery. After surgery, doctors will give patients some postoperative care and maintenance guidance, which needs to be carefully observed. Maintaining good living habits and eating habits, regular chest massage and examination recommended by doctors are important links to extend the effect of surgery.
In addition, avoiding strenuous exercise and external force impact is also very important for the durability of the surgical effect. External force impact on the chest may lead to displacement or rupture of the prosthesis, affecting the postoperative effect.
individual difference
Each person's physical characteristics and individual differences will also have an impact on the effectiveness of breast augmentation surgery. Age, weight change, living habits, fertility and other factors may lead to changes in postoperative effects. The skin elasticity of young women is better, and the lasting effect of surgery may be longer; For older women with loose skin, the duration of the surgical effect may be shorter.
In addition, individual differences also include the state and shape of the chest before surgery. If the chest tissue is loose, sagging and inelastic, the surgical effect may be relatively poor.
To sum up, the lasting effect of breast augmentation surgery is affected by many factors. The types of prosthesis, surgical techniques, daily maintenance and individual differences will have an impact on the durability of the surgical effect. For women who want to have breast augmentation surgery, choosing a formal and professional hospital and doctor for surgery, and cooperating with good daily care and maintenance, can maximize the durability of the surgical effect.
