1. Should I choose a round-shaped prosthesis or a teardrop-shaped prosthesis?
The upper part of breast will be more plump after implanting round-shaped prosthesis. The shape of postoperative breast is more natural and closer to the natural shape of breast after implanting the teardrop-shaped prosthesis. Thus, teardrop-shaped prosthesis also is known as anatomical prosthesis. Compared to round-shaped prosthesis, teardrop-shaped prosthesis can better improve the case of preoperative mastoptosis. The advantage of round-shaped prosthesis is that it is equal to the left and right, which doesn’t affect the shape of the postoperative breast even if the implant is rotated. However, one end of the teardrop-shaped prosthesis is large and the other end is small, so it is necessary to ensure that the size of the separation space is appropriate during the operation, and the direction and position of the prosthesis are appropriate during implantation, which requires a higher technical requirement for doctors.
2.Should I choose a smooth or a rough surface?
Smooth surface prosthesis is relatively soft, while rough surface prosthesis is a little stiff. If you are particularly thin before surgery and have a particularly poor breast base, you will feel it relatively hard after the operation. The incidence of capsule contracture in the rough surface prosthesis is smaller than that of the glossy surface. Some brands even offer the rough surface prosthesis that needs no massage after surgery.
3.Is the probability of capsule contracture high? How to avoid it?
After prosthetic breast augmentation, very few people will suffer from capsule contracture due to excessive reaction of foreign body, which is related to individual constitution and can not be predicted before operation. However, the incidence of capsule contracture is very low when endoscopic technique is successfully used, with complete hemostasis and fine separation of lacunae during the operation.
4.Which is better? Prosthetic breast augmentation or autologous fat breast augmentation?
Compared with autologous fat breast augmentation, the advantage of prosthetic breast augmentation is that by implanting a suitable prosthesis, the desired breast size can be achieved by one operation, and the effect is obvious after the operation that the breast is more upright, particularly suitable for breast atrophy after breastfeeding, weight loss, and mild breast sagging, which usually can be improved at the same time. For those who are very thin and don't have enough fat, prosthetic breast augmentation is their choice. For those who do not receive the implant, they can choose autologous fat breast augmentation.
