Among many different materials
available, during the recent years two types of
wadding have more and more become the first choice in the
area of breast implants:
Cohesive silicone and saline solution.
According to our doctors, first of all
it is important to recognize that both of them may have
both, advantages and disadvantages.
The
most important advantage of saline implants lies in the
complete bio-compatibility of the saline solution. So far, for
a period saline implants have been the preferred choice by
women around the world, mainly due a safety issue and
concerns which were based
on early cases of problems with leaking or ruptured silicone
implants. That cases happened 35 years ago with the first
generation of silicone implants, at a time of missing
experience. At that time the quality of the cover was
questionably, no textured surface existed and a liquid
silicone was used to fill the implants.
Since
that time several new
generations of improved silicone implants have been brought
to the markets. The latest generation is represented by the
compact cohesive
silicone implants. By this new generation the wadding
consists of the so called cohesive silicone. That means, that
the silicone is no longer liquid, but consistent and forms a
compact, unique, and un-separable complete with the cover.
Even in the (statistically extremely rare) case of a rupture no part
of
the new implant can diffuse into the organism, but the
implant as a whole can easily be replaced by the
surgeon.
The
cover: Today -independent from the type of wadding used-
the cover of all types of implants consists of
a highly elastic and resistant silicone layer. The surface
is generally available in a smooth and in a textured
quality. The textured surface may improve the stability once the implants have been embedded into
the natural body tissue.
Still
today by many women the saline implants are perceived as the
safer solution. At the same moment reality speaks its own
language with 30 years of practice and
experience with silicone implants used by many millions of
women worldwide.
What
more advantages does the silicone implant have:
Silicone
implants have the optimal natural feeling/consistency.
Independently from the external temperature a silicone
implant keeps the temperature of the organism.
Saline
implants may cool down in the winter period, during skiing
or when it is very cold outside. Because of a minor
viscosity, they may eventually feel less natural,
can fold and sometimes produce a kind of "water
sound". Some patients told about slow but unpredictable
volume changes.
For
the situation in the states, (where the
use of silicone implants is still not allowed) generally doctors
and experts do no longer have a medical explanation. "There may eventually
be other reasons behind."
Conclusively, under medical viewpoints,
the Aesthetia
specialists recommend the modern compact silicone implants with
cohesive silicone as the first choice
for women wearing implants today. They may secure to the
modern women an optimum of comfort, reliability, ideal consistency,
longevity and naturalness.
