Breast Implants in Paris

The Technique for Breast Implant Surgery

Breast prostheses, also known asbreast implants, are silicone shells filled with saline solution or gel.

Round and curved, they are designed to match the shape and size of breasts desired by the patient, while maintaining a natural appearance.

Thanks to advances incosmetic surgery, there are now various types ofbreast implants available. Each type varies depending on the desired result and the implantation techniques used.

The purpose of a breast implant is to change the shape and size of the breast. A breast implant is designed to improve the shape and firmness of your breasts or simply to make them larger.

Women who choose to have breast implants do so for several reasons:

• Increase breast size;
• Improved self-image;
• Consequences of breast cancer:breast reconstruction/reconstructive surgery;
• Correction of problems caused by previousbreast surgery.

The Different Types of Breast Implants

Breast implants come in many shapes and sizes.

The most common questions concern the choice of implant type and its placement: round or anatomical? Gel orsaline? In front of or behind the muscle?

We know these factors are important, and we will guide you through the process of selecting the ideal implant.

Round breast implant

Round breast implants are generally used in cases where the patient simply wantsto increase breast volume.Round implantsare ideal for patients who want round, natural-looking breasts through a minimally invasive procedure.

Silicone breast implant

These breast implants are filled with silicone gel. They provide a more natural-looking result and minimize the appearance of rippling.

Silicone gel breast implants have been shown to be superior to saline-filled breast implants due to their increased durability and reduced rippling.

Saline-filled breast implants

Round breast implants filled with saline solution are one of the most affordable options. These implants do not feel very natural, and the results can change quickly.

Polyurethane Breast Implants

Round polyurethane breast implants are filled with silicone gel, which gives them a more realistic look and feel. Their shell is made entirely of polyurethane, which reduces the risk of rotation and capsular contracture. This type of breast implant is the most expensive on the market.

Breast implant surgery involves making incisions about 4 cm long on the left and right sides of the breast. 

The incision can be made in several places, depending on the desired result: under the breast crease, through or around the nipple, or in the armpit. Recovery from this procedure does not take long, and you can return to work after one week.

The placement of the prosthesis varies depending on the surgeon's instructions. 

• The retro-glandular position;
• The retropectoral position;
• Thedual-plane position.

This decision is made following aclinical examination and based on the type and size of the implant used. The patient's anatomy is also taken into account when determining the placement of the implants.

During the postoperative period, it is recommended that you:

• Take pain relievers to reduce pain;
• Wait 2 months before resuming exercise;
• Wait one week before returning to work and resuming normal daily activities (no lifting, driving, etc.);

This surgical procedure is more “natural” because it does not involve any foreign materials. The risks of rejection and infection are drastically reduced. In addition, breasts augmented through lipofilling often look more natural.

Furthermore, it is not necessary to replace the implants every 15 to 20 years.
