Prosthetic breast augmentation is a procedure that increases or reshapes the shape of the breast by implanting prostheses. It aims to help women achieve the ideal chest curve. Modern prosthetic breast augmentation technology continues to innovate in material selection and surgical methods, such as the use of soft and natural silicone prostheses or hydrogel prostheses, combined with refined surgical procedures, can not only effectively improve the aesthetic effect, but also minimize the risk of postoperative complications. Before surgery, doctors will customize the plan according to individual circumstances. Ensuring a balance between safety and effectiveness, prosthetic breast augmentation achieves a good balance between safety and aesthetics, and has become a trustworthy choice for many women who pursue beauty and self-confidence.

What is prosthetic breast augmentation?

Prosthetic breast augmentation, that is, breast prosthesis implantation, is a surgical method in which a special prosthesis is implanted under the breast tissue to increase the volume of the breast and improve the shape of the breast. Prosthetic breast augmentation is the most common one in breast augmentation surgery and is suitable for women with a variety of breast shapes and needs.

Indications for breast augmentation with prosthetic implants

1. breast dysplasia: Born with small breasts, the ideal fullness effect cannot be achieved.
2. breast atrophy：由于体重骤减、衰老或其他原因导致的乳房组织减少。
3. breast ptosis: Sudden breasts due to factors such as gravity, pregnancy, lactation, etc. affect appearance.
4. breast asymmetry: Bilateral breasts are of different sizes, and it is hoped to achieve balance through surgery.
5. Breast missing or severely damaged: For example, breast reconstruction is needed after mastectomy.

Types of prosthetic breast augmentation

There are many kinds of prosthetic materials for breast augmentation, and the common ones are the following:

1. silicone prosthesis: Silicone prostheses are the most common breast augmentation prostheses. They have good biocompatibility and are soft and natural to the touch. Silicone prostheses are divided into two types: smooth and textured. Textured prostheses are more conducive to combining with autologous tissue and reducing capsular contracture. risk.

2. Saline prosthesis: The interior of the saline prosthesis is filled with normal saline. If rupture occurs, the saline will slowly exude and will not have serious impact on the body. However, the saline prosthesis is relatively hard to the touch and may not be as natural as the silicone prosthesis.

3. Polyacrylonitrile fiber prosthesis: This is a new type of prosthetic material with good elasticity and natural touch, and has gradually become a popular choice on the market.

Surgical process of prosthetic breast augmentation

Prosthetic breast augmentation surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and the operation time is generally 1-2 hours. The surgical steps are as follows:

1. incision selection: Common incision methods include areola incision, inframammary plica incision and axillary incision. The areola incision is well concealed, but may affect the feeling of the nipple; the scar of the inframammary plica incision is not obvious, but may affect the shape of the breast; the axillary incision is more concealed, but the operation is more difficult.

2. peeling plane: The doctor will peel off the breast tissue to create a cavity of appropriate size for implantation of the prosthesis.

3. 植入假体: Place the selected prosthesis into the peeled cavity, adjust the position and angle to ensure natural integration of the prosthesis with the breast tissue.

4. close the incision: Suture the incision layer by layer to reduce scar formation.

Postoperative nursing care of breast augmentation with prosthetic implants

Postoperative care is the key to ensuring surgical results and reducing complications. The following are several key points of postoperative care:

1. Rest and activities: Intensive exercise, especially large movements of the upper limbs, should be avoided after surgery to prevent prosthesis migration. It is generally recommended to avoid lifting heavy objects within 1 months after surgery.

2. Wear chest straps: A special chest strap needs to be worn after surgery to support the breast, reduce swelling, and help the prosthesis gradually adapt to the new position.

3. regular reexamination: You should go to the hospital for regular re-examination after surgery. The doctor will evaluate the position and shape of the prosthesis through palpation and imaging examination, and detect and handle possible complications in a timely manner.

4. Diet and living habits: Maintain a light diet after surgery, avoid spicy and irritating food, quit smoking and alcohol, which will help heal wounds and reduce the risk of infection.

Risks and complications of prosthetic breast augmentation

Although prosthetic breast augmentation is a mature operation, there are still certain risks and possible complications, mainly including:

1. capsular contracture: A fibrous capsule forms around the prosthesis, causing the prosthesis to harden and deform, and even affecting the shape of the breast. Capsule contracture is one of the most common complications of breast augmentation with prosthetic implants.

2. infection: Incision infection or prosthesis infection may occur after surgery, and in severe cases, the prosthesis may need to be removed.

3. Prosthesis ruptures or leaks: The prosthesis may rupture due to external impact or quality problems, causing leakage. After the silicone prosthesis leaks, the silicone will slowly seep out, which may cause local discomfort.

4. Changes in breast sensation: Surgery may affect the nerve supply to the nipples and areola, resulting in decreased or loss of sensation.

5. Prosthesis migration or deformation: The prosthesis may shift due to improper postoperative activity or quality problems of the prosthesis, affecting the shape of the breast.

How to choose the right prosthesis?

Choosing the right prosthesis is the key to the success of prosthetic breast augmentation. Experts from Shanghai Xiyan Medical will comprehensively consider the following factors based on factors such as the basic breast conditions, body shape, and expected effects of the beauty seeker:

1. Prosthesis size: Select the appropriate prosthesis size based on the height, weight, chest circumference and other data of the beauty seeker to avoid being too large or too small.

2. prosthesis form: Conical prostheses are suitable for plump breasts and can provide natural curves; water-drop prostheses are more suitable for flat breasts and can simulate the natural breast shape.

3. prosthesis surface: Smooth prostheses are soft to the touch, but have a higher risk of capsular contracture; textured prostheses can reduce the occurrence of capsular contracture.

4. prosthetic material: Silicone prostheses feel natural, but may leak; saline prostheses have less impact after leaking, but are hard to the touch.
