Breast implants are prostheses, silicone shells filled with either saline or silicone, that are surgically inserted into the breasts of women seeking change in the shape and size of their breasts. It is one of the ways to augment the breasts. The surgery to place the Breast Implant in Delhi must be performed by a certified plastic or cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Mrinalini Sharma for best and safe results.
Having breast implants is a personal decision that should be considered only when:
- Breasts have completed developed
- Women in in good overall health
- Women hold realistic expectations of their breast implant surgery outcome
- Previous breast size needs to be restored
- Breast symmetry needs to be corrected
- Breast reconstruction needs to be done following mastectomy (breast removal surgery)
- Gender affirmation is required
- Women want to improve their body image and boost their self-esteem and confidence.
Are breast implants safe today?
When it comes to the safety of breast implants, generally both saline and silicone breast implants are considered safe. However, research on how safe both breast implants are and how effective they are is ongoing.
Just like any surgery poses some risks and complications, getting breast implants also can be risky for some candidates and have some unwanted effects. The potential risks and complications of having breast implants include:
- Formation of scar tissue that changes the breast implant shape (a condition called capsular contracture)
- Infection
- Pain or discomfort in the breast
- Temporary changes in nipple and feeling of breast
- Tearing or leaking (rupture or deflation)
- Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (rare case)
- Systemic symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, memory loss, rashes, brain fog (called the signs of breast implant illness)
- Affect on breast milk production for breastfeeding (when the breast implant is placed after mastectomy).
Although there are some unwanted effects associated with breast implants, breast implants are still most women’s choice. That’s because breast implants are durable and can provide the desired breast appearance for several years to come (usually lasting for a decade or longer). Furthermore, the procedure of breast implant surgery is relatively safe and comes with minimal risk of side effects or complications. Best of all, breast implants help enhance upper body appearance, and allow women to get dressed in any clothing of their choice, thereby improving their self-esteem and confidence.
Breast implant surgery is safe if performed by an expert cosmetic surgeon, like Dr. Mrinalini Sharma at Aestiva Clinic. If you want more details on breast enlargement or breast reduction surgery in Delhi, do visit her at Aestiva Clinic.
