A breast augmentation is one of the most common plastic surgeries sought by women of all ages for various reasons. The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery identified Breast Implants as the #1 cosmetic surgery for women age 24-42. ASAPS Statistics There are many reasons women choose to get breast implants here are just a few:
Why do women get a Breast Augmentation?
First, some women simply wish to have larger breasts. While there is no one “correct” size for a woman’s breasts, many women feel as though their breasts are too small for their bodies.
Next, women seek augmentation to correct asymmetrical breasts, that is, breasts that differ in size. There are only a very small percentage of women that have perfectly symmetrical breasts, but the difference between the two breasts may vary slightly to a much larger difference. The breasts may differ in both size and shape.
Next, many women want a breast augmentation because they feel as though their breasts have deflated. This lack of fullness may have been caused by a small to significant weight loss, aging, or after having children.
What are a few of the risks associated with Breast Augmentation?
As with any surgery, there are risks involved with getting a breast augmentation. Here is a list of a few of the more common complications:
Infection – Anytime that your body is opened up and a foreign object is placed into it, there is a chance for infection. Dr. McClellan, as well as the Operating Room (OR) staff, works tirelessly to ensure that every measure is taken to minimize the potential for infection.
Implant Rupture – It is possible for both saline and silicone implants to rupture. For saline implants, it is generally easy to tell if the implant has ruptured. The breast(s) will look deflated and it will happen over a short period of time. A slow leaking saline implant is rare. If a saline implant ruptures, the saline is absorbed by the body. It is generally harmless, unless the inside of the implant was contaminated. It is more difficult to tell whether a silicone implant has ruptured. Our silicone implants use a technology known as Memory Gel so that if the outside of the implant was cut, the silicone will stay in place and not leak out into the body. For those who have had a breast augmentation it is important to get an MRI done of the body every two to three years to make sure that the implants are in good condition.
Capsular Contracture – This is a tightening of the tissue capsule that the surgeon has created around the implant. If untreated there is a high risk for implant rupture. Capsular contracture is evaluated by a system called the Baker Grades. A description of each of the Baker Grades is given below. If you reach stage III or IV you will need a revision surgery. This will include a capsulectomy, or removal of the scar tissue capsule that has formed around the breast, and a re-augmentation, if you would like to continue to have breast implants.
Baker Grade I – The breast is soft and has a natural appearance.
Baker Grade II – The breast is more firm, but still looks normal.
Baker Grade III – The breast is more firm and looks abnormal.
Baker Grade IV – The breast is hard and is obviously distorted; it is painful to the touch.
Loss of Nipple Sensation
Hematoma
Rippling
