Understanding Your Options: Saline vs. Silicone Implants

Choosing the right type of implant is a critical decision in your breast augmentation journey. Here’s what you need to know about saline and silicone implants:

1. Saline Implants
– Composition: Filled with a sterile saline solution.
– Placement: Inserted empty and filled once positioned, allowing for smaller incisions.
– Advantages:
– Easier detection of ruptures.
– Adjustable volume during surgery.
– Typically less expensive than silicone implants.

2. Silicone Implants
– Composition: Filled with a cohesive silicone gel.
– Placement: Pre-filled, requiring a slightly larger incision.
– Advantages:
– More natural feel and appearance.
– Less chance of visible rippling.
– Widely preferred due to their realistic look.

Breast Implant Exchange

Breast implant exchange is a procedure that involves replacing existing implants, whether due to age, a desire for a different size or type, or medical reasons like a rupture or capsular contracture. Here’s when you might consider an implant exchange:

– Size or Shape Changes: If you’re unhappy with your current size or shape, an exchange can provide a more satisfying result.
– Implant Aging: Implants may require replacement over time due to aging, rupture, or other factors.
– Capsular Contracture: A condition where scar tissue around the implant tightens, causing discomfort and altering appearance.
– Switching Implant Type: Some patients wish to switch from saline to silicone or vice versa.

During your consultation, Dr. Schmelzer will discuss your goals and recommend the best approach for your breast implant exchange.

Post Breast Augmentation Surgery Care

After your breast augmentation, proper care is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results. Here’s a general guide:

1. Immediate Post-Op Period
– Rest: Take it easy for the first 48 hours, limiting physical activity.
– Dressings and Garments: You’ll wear a surgical bra to provide support and minimize swelling.

2. Activity Restrictions
– Avoid Heavy Lifting: Refrain from lifting objects over 10 pounds for at least 2 weeks.
– Exercise: Light activities can resume within a week, but avoid strenuous workouts for about 6 weeks.

3. Follow-Up Appointments
– Attend all scheduled appointments with Dr. Schmelzer to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

4. Long-Term Care
– Massage: Gentle breast massages may help maintain implant positioning (consult your surgeon for specific instructions).
– Monitoring: Regularly check for any changes in your breasts and consult your doctor if you notice anything unusual.
