Safe breast surgery with smooth silk implant

As the glamorous figure of the body is emphasized as much as the pretty face,

more people want to have breast plastic surgery in the winter.

The compression bandages and corrective underwear should be worn for

a certain period of time after the breast surgery.
Luckily, things like compression bandages and corrective underwear can be hide with thick clothes

in winter, and the recovery period is long enough until summer summer,

so the colder the weather, the more you prefer breast surgery.

Recently, breast plastic surgery is not only focuses on breast sizes but also want to satisfy various factors such as proper size, natural shape, and soft touch to fit the body type.

Therefore, the selection of implants, which is the core of breast surgery, becomes more important.

A cohesive gels (also called CoGel) have expand a lot from many years ago in Korea.
It is a implant made of silicone with strong cohesion.
Complement the shortcomings of the existing silicone gel, the outer shell is strong

and the shape is natural after surgery.

There are two types of cogel implants, round and waterdrops.
Round implants are divided into smooth and texture types according to the surface material. The smooth type is smooth and thin, so the movement is natural and feels good.
However, a capsular contracture can occur, so regular massages are needed early in the surgery.

Texture implants that didn't need a massage attracted attention, but recently,

the possibility of a rare cancer called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)

has been questioned.

Texture implants are divided into micro textures and macro textures,

depending on the roughness of the surface.

The BIA-ALCL patient was identified in the macro texture type.
So far, BIA-ALCL has not been reported for smooth type implants with smooth surfaces.
So up till now, it is relatively safe to use a smooth implant instead of a rough or textured implant.
Among the smooth implants, Motiva is classified as smooth silk,

so the surface particles are very fine.

In particular, it reduces the risk of capsular contracture by dispersing fibroblasts produced in the breast after surgery and does not require a separate massage.
For Korean women who often have dense breasts, Motiva is similar to the actual mammary gland, creating a natural touch. It also includes a BLUESEAL to check safety status and a unique identification device (UDI) to check product information.
Safer management after surgery It is possible to accurately know the information about the breast implants used in breast formation without time and space constraints.

Dr. Barn Jae-Sang, Director doctor of Banobagi Plastic Surgery, said,

“Even though it is an excellent implant, there are things to be aware of.”
"We need to know the characteristics of the patient's skin, muscles, and mammary glands so that they can make the most of the implant's strengths and make accurate surgical plans and operate carefully." Dr. Barn also said, In particular, it is advisable to have a thorough breast examination to respond appropriately to changes in the position and shape of the breast that may occur over time. ”

Breast Fat Grafting Overview

Women do not only go for breast augmentation surgery simply because they wish to change the size or shape of their breasts. In some cases, women receive implants after their natural breasts are removed in a process called a 'mastectomy'. This is usually a result of breast cancer or other medical conditions. In this case, breast augmentation surgery actually becomes breast reconstruction, and implants are absolutely necessary to be insert.

While the most preferred route for reconstructed breast is saline or silicone implants, there is a new method of breast reconstruction emerging. It basically a procedure where fat injected into the breast using a grafting method. If you are new to the term, Let’s find out what it means.

What is Breast Fat Grafting?

In its simplest form, fat grafting is taking some amount of fat from an area of your body (usually thigh or stomach) and redistributing it into the breast area. Your doctor will determine to remove fat from those parts of your body, such as the stomach, buttocks or thighs by using a method like liposuction. For a surgeon to get a natural-looking breast shape, they will take the removed fat and inject it back into the body in a liquid form. Your doctors will suggest multiple fat grafting sessions if you are interested in achieving an increase in certain breast size.

Using fat grafting technology to recreate the breast tissue is a relatively new idea. This is very important to keep in mind. If you are seeking reconstruction surgery, the idea of traditional breast implants can be intimidating. One might think creating new breast from your own fat seems far less risky. While there are some benefits to breast fat grafting, there are some downsides as well that you should know beforehand.

Pros

Unlike traditional implants, surgeons will not have to place a foreign object into your body. Fat grafting simply means taking your own natural body fat to reconstruct or enhance the breast instead of saline or silicon implant.
The fat used for the procedure needs to come from somewhere. A doctor will suggest certain areas of fat that are best suited to be removed from your body during a surgery consultation.
Along with gaining natural looking breasts, you can lose fat from problem areas as well.
With this procedure, there is a natural decreasing sensation in the breast area.
Patients can expect the breast to feel natural after the procedure.

Cons

The technology has not been around long enough. There are no long term studies or statistics available. In return, this means that the appearance result will not hold long term.
Doctors will require multiple sessions of operation to get your desired results.
Your body might re-absorb the fat cells over time. This means that as a result, your breasts can lose volume and there is small chance of uneven appearance.
Removing fat from an area can prevent flap reconstruction in the future.
In some patients, there is a possibility of necrosis.
Due to surgical research, there is a concern that breast fat grafting can result in breast cancer.
