Breast Prosthesis
Breast prosthesis is the most important tool for chest beauty surgery. The types of breast prosthesis are categorized according to the size of the prosthesis, the type of prosthetic filling, the shape and size of the breasts.
Breast Prostheses Based on Ingredients
Breast prostheses are divided into two types of saline prostheses based on the ingredients , the silicone breast prosthesis is divided.
Saline or saline prostheses
Its content is sterilized from brine. Saline chest prosthesis is made up of a non-penetrating wall, rigid than other protozoans. This prosthesis changes the natural shape of the chest and makes the appearance of the breasts artificially bulging due to bulking. For a doctor to put a saline prosthesis in a breast tissue, he creates a small cut. This type of prosthesis is suitable for women over the age of 18 years.
Silicone prosthesis
These prostheses, which are often overlaid with silicone gel, are similar to the natural tissue of your chest, although physicians need to use larger breast implants for this chest prosthesis. In terms of cost, these prostheses are more expensive than other prostheses.
The silicone prosthesis will not be empty and remain in the body, but it will rarely occur for the individual, but it will rarely occur to the individual, but in order to prevent you from getting into trouble, you should visit your doctor after a beautiful, well-timed procedure, so that your prosthesis be sure . This type of prosthesis is suitable for women over the age of 22 years.
When choosing a saline prosthesis, note that if this type of prosthesis gets ruptured and this causes the prosthesis to be empty, the fluid that is present in the salt is absorbed into the body after a while. In terms of cost of saline prosthesis, it is cheaper than other prostheses.
Various types of prosthetics
Breast prosthesis is divided into several types according to the prosthetic model:
• Round prosthesis: A round prosthesis is in the form of a circular prosthesis and is symmetrical in half and is in the shape of a hemisphere. In these prosthetic prostheses, these prostheses have a fairy shape than any other type of prosthesis. You need to use this type of chest prosthesis to make your chest more lumpy and prominent.
• Teeth Breast Prosthesis (anatomical or diagonal): A prosthetic lacrimal prosthesis in this type of prosthetic breast. The upper part of the prosthesis has a lower thickness than the lower part. The tear prosthesis gives your breasts a more natural form, because in this type of prosthesis, the upper part is loose from the lower part, which makes it a natural form for the chest.
What is the durability of a variety of prosthetics?
Prostheses have a lot of longevity in the body, but it is safe to say that none of the prosthetic types is permanent and they will start to wear out over time. This is because over time, the outer shell of the prosthesis of the old and thin chest and they disappear from time to time. That's why, if you have performed a prosthetic surgery, you need to diagnose your doctor, though once you have ultrasound.
Suitable for breast prostheses!
• Breast prosthesis is suitable for people who naturally have small breasts
• People who have asymmetric breaks for any reason
• Those who want to repair breast size and shape after pregnancy, lactation or weight loss
Breast prosthetic after cancer
People who have had to remove part or all of their breasts for any reason, for any reason, such as cancer or breast problems, use breast implants to fill the chest. Chest reconstruction can be done as part of breast cancer treatment.
Recovery of breast surgery
Breast Prostheses and Breast Cancer
Recently, some studies have shown that there is evidence of a type of lymphoma (a type of lymph node cancer), and there is currently no definitive evidence of the relationship between breast prosthesis and cancer. The only connection is that if a person has a breast cancer, he may be diagnosed with a later prosthesis.
You should rest 5 to 7 days more at home to fully recover from the chest prosthesis. During this time, you need almost absolute rest.
After surgery, you may have bruises and swelling and some pain that is normal and not a concern. To help relieve and reduce these complications, use a compress of ice in the surgical area.
Posterior displacement of the prosthesis is possible after surgery, which can be due to:
Complications of breast prosthesis
The most commonly used gynecological surgery is female prosthetic surgery. One of the side effects of this is a hemorrhage or hematoma that shows bruises, swelling and pain. Reports have been reported from 1.8% to 2.9% of bleeding, which requires no special action if it is bleeding inside and is monitored by the patient. Sometimes ultrasound is required to diagnose. In ultrasound, if the blood is observed around the prosthesis or at the site of the surgical incision, the patient is transferred to the operating room. In the operating room, after opening the cut, the hematoma is drained and the re-cut closes. Usually, the garlic is good and does not cause a specific problem for the patient.
• The patient has a weak tissue, while a large prosthesis request is enlarged
• Another reason for this may be the release of excessive tissue, which in this case requires re-surgical surgery. This surgery is done internally, externally, up and down. In cases where moving inward to the interior, there is a risk of adhesion of the two prostheses, which is said to be the complication of mastoid wire, whose repair is possible only by complex surgery.
Breast prosthetics in athletes
In athletes, especially swimmers and divers who dive in depth, there is also the question of whether or not there is a problem with their prosthesis. It should be said that this surgery does not create a problem for these people
Care after chest prosthesis
At bedtime, someone should be at your side to keep your sleep on the back and do not change. Sleep in this situation should last for up to 3 weeks. This is because you do not get injuries to your prostheses. If you are saddened in this situation, be sure to avoid pressure on your abdomen
Close the bracelet after the breast prosthesis
For the shape of the breasts to be deformed, it is appropriate to close the medical boot (the so-called post-surgical boot). Continue this until one month, so that the prostheses are not damaged or loose. Remember to wear this belt for 24 hours. You can open it only if you are bathing.
Bath after chest prosthesis
Wait for bathing 3 days after surgery and then take care of it
Suture after chest prosthesis
If the sutures are of an absorbent type, they do not need to be drained, and if they are not absorbable, the patient should refer the doctor one week after surgery.
Activity after chest prosthesis
Do not do any heavy activity or activity that pushes your chest. Do not lift up heavy objects, exercise bodybuilding, etc. for up to 2 weeks.
Air travel after breast prosthesis
One of the most common questions patients ask is whether the patient has breast implants after traveling with the plane. In response, there is no precaution to fly after an operation. Only in cases where saltwater prostheses are used, due to changes in air pressure, bubbles may develop, which are usually absorbed within 24 to 48 hours. This is less likely to be observed in silicone and gel prostheses.
