Before breast augmentation, every patient must face the problem of choosing an endoprosthesis. Even after visiting several specialists, you may not get a definitive answer.
For a long time, round implants were the only possible choice for breast augmentation. And, despite the emergence of the anatomical, which more closely follows the natural contours of the mammary gland, the spherical shape has remained the preference of many plastic surgeons.
Medicine does not stand still, so the new generation of round implants differs from the old one for better quality, both in strength and in the appearance of the final result. Modern round endoprostheses do not look as artificial as they used to be and are also soft to the touch.
Types of round implants
Round implants can differ in the type of filling:
- Saline solution.They contain a saline solution which, once released, is absorbed by the body without causing damage.
- Silicone.Filled with cohesive and non-flowing gel. It does not even come out when the shell breaks.
- Two cameras.Combines silicone and saline.
- Biocompatible.Contains a biodegradable gel based on natural polymers.
Depending on the type of profile, the spherical endoprostheses can be:
- flat- low profile;
- convex- with a high profile.
Who can use round implants
The opinion that it is better to install round endoprostheses for girls with small breasts is incorrect. The choice of an implant depends not only on the patient's wishes, but also on her physiological characteristics. When choosing it, the plastic surgeon takes into account the height, the type of figure, the structure of the chest. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the occupation of the woman and her daily activities. For example, female athletes often use ball-shaped endoprostheses.
By choosing round implants, the same natural effect as anatomical ones can be achieved. It depends on the method of insertion of the endoprosthesis. If a round implant is placed under the pectoral muscle, under its pressure the gel flows into the lower part and acquires a teardrop shape. The degree of muscle pressure depends on its physiological capabilities. The installation of an endoprosthesis under the mammary gland does not give such a result.
Benefits of round breast augmentation
Round implants are used more often than anatomical ones. They have a number of advantages, thanks to which the choice of both patients and plastic surgeons falls on them.
- The price of round endoprostheses is lower than the price of anatomical ones.
- It is easier and less problematic for a specialist to perform an operation to install a round implant.
- It is not necessary to wear compression garments for very long in the postoperative period.
- Fills the upper chest for a "push-up" effect.
- The rotation of the implant does not change the shape of the breast.
- Has a natural effect in any position.
- Ability to install a prosthesis via any access.
Of course, the final choice of the shape of the implant depends only on you, but it is worth listening to the opinion of a competent plastic surgeon, because he has performed more than a dozen operations and knows what the final result will look like in one caseor in the other.
