Which material is suitable for professional breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, through the implantation of different types of materials to improve the shape of the chest. Different materials have different characteristics and indications. This article will elaborate on the materials suitable for professional breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: silica gel, saline bag, autologous fat transplantation and biological materials.
silica gel
Silicone is one of the most commonly used breast augmentation materials at present. Its main components are silicon, oxygen and methyl groups. Silicone breast augmentation has many advantages. First, silica gel has good morphological stability, which can maintain the long-term stability of the shape and size of the chest. Secondly, silica gel has a wealth of choices, which can be personalized according to the needs of patients. In addition, silicone breast augmentation surgery is relatively simple, with short operation time and recovery period.
However, silica gel materials also have some limitations. As silica gel is a foreign material, it will form a capsule after implantation in the body, which may cause the contraction and displacement of the prosthesis capsule. In addition, silicone breast augmentation also requires regular follow-up and inspection to ensure the safety of the prosthesis and timely identify potential problems.
Brine bag
Saline bag (also called physiological saline bag) is another commonly used breast augmentation material, which is filled with physiological saline. Saline bags have some unique advantages over silica gel. First of all, the saline bag can be adjusted as needed during the operation to achieve the ideal volume and shape. Secondly, as saline is a kind of body component, it has good compatibility with human body and is not easy to cause rejection reaction.
However, there are also some problems with brine bags. Due to the liquid filled inside, compared with the silica gel, the shape stability of the brine bag is poor, and it is easy to form wrinkles or waves. In addition, the brine bag may also be broken, leading to the leakage of brine.
Autologous fat transplantation
Autologous fat transplantation is a new method of breast augmentation. Its principle is to extract the patient's own fat tissue from other parts, and then inject it into the breast tissue after careful treatment. Autologous fat transplantation has some unique advantages. First of all, autologous fat transplantation does not need foreign materials, which avoids the potential risk of foreign body implantation. Secondly, autologous fat transplantation can improve the body shape of other parts at the same time of breast enhancement, which can do more at one stroke.
However, autologous fat transplantation also has some limitations. Due to the low survival rate of adipocytes, some adipose tissue may be absorbed, resulting in unsatisfactory surgical results. In addition, autologous fat transplantation is relatively complicated and requires skilled doctors to operate.
biological materials
Biomaterials are a new choice for breast augmentation. Its principle is to promote the growth and repair of soft tissue by implanting materials with biosorptive properties. Compared with traditional breast augmentation materials, biomaterials have better biocompatibility and bioactivity.
At present, some regular hospitals have begun to carry out the research and practice of breast augmentation surgery with biomaterials. However, since breast augmentation with biomaterials is still a new technology, its safety and long-term effects still need further research and verification.
Summary
In general, silicone and saline bags are widely used breast augmentation materials, with mature technology and long-term clinical experience. Autologous fat transplantation is a novel breast augmentation method, which can achieve natural and lasting effects. Although biomaterials have potential for breast augmentation, their safety and long-term effects still need further research. For patients, when choosing breast augmentation materials, they need to consider their own needs, doctors' suggestions and the advantages and disadvantages of different materials, and choose a suitable breast augmentation scheme.
