The New Silicone Breasts
Silicone breast implants have had more than their share of controversy over the years. They have been introduced, pulled from the market and vindicated by research and science. However, many women still have a lingering doubt about whether they should have them or not.
Despite these lingering doubts of some, the new silicone breast implants are one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries today. If you are considering having a silicone breast implant surgery, there are some facts that you should know before you make your decision.
The decision to have breast implants is a very personal decision. Every woman who is considering having implants must make the decision based on their own personal reasons and do the research that is necessary to decide if the procedure is right for her.
If you have already made the decision to have a breast implant surgery, you are now faced with the decision over the type of breast implant to get. Silicone breast implants have been researched and studied for many years now, and there is some information that is available that will help you to make the right decision for you.
In the United States, the Mayo Clinic did a study on silicone breast implants and found that there was no connection between silicone breast implants and any connective tissue disorders. The research came after concerns over the silicone breast implants and certain conditions that were thought to be caused by the use of the implants. However, despite all the headline grabbing news, there has never been any research that has proven the connection to be real. The implants were determined to be safe by many sources of scientific research.
Today’s silicone implants are designed to be less likely to move and cause the problems of displacement that some women complained about previously. The texture of the implant causes them to stay in place much more effectively than implants of the past.
The use of silicone gel in these implants was done to effectively recreate the feel and appearance of a natural breast. Silicone gel feels a great deal more like a natural breast than saline filled implants. Of course, saline implants are appropriate if you are concerned over the safety of silicone.
Making the decision to choose silicone breasts over saline implants is one that you alone will have to make. Your plastic surgeon can give you the information and pros and cons of each of these types of implants, but ultimately the decision is yours. The recent research is quite compelling and there have been countless studies that have proven the silicone gel breast implants to be safe even if the implant breaks.
Take your time and do your homework on the research that has been conducted on silicon breast implants. Silicone breasts are one of the most effective ways to help a woman who has suffered from a mastectomy or who just would like to improve the appearance of her breasts. Cosmetic surgery should never be entered into lightly and it is your responsibility to make the best decision for you.
