Breast augmentation surgery is a great way for many to achieve the look they dream of. This is the main reason why it is so common today. This surgery gives people the curves they desire and helps them boost their image. However, unfortunately, it is not possible to have breast prostheses made once and use them for a lifetime. Therefore, one of the strangest issues with breast augmentation surgery is the durability of silicones. This period is usually between 10 and 20 years, and there is a reason for that.
Silicone prostheses are generally designed to be both safe and suitable for permanent use. When these silicones were developed, they were intended to last more than 10 years, with a 1% chance of rupturing each year. Therefore, the older your implants are, the higher the risk of rupture or other complications. In general, however, breast silicones can last 20 years or longer. It also depends on whether you take proper care of your silicones.
The best way to take care of your breast silicones is to go for a regular medical checkup every year. Aside from that, many small life changes such as regular light exercise, not straining your chest area, lying on your stomach as little as possible, and having a controlled sex life can make your silicones last longer. Even if you are observant, there are some conditions that can affect your silicones.
For example, breast implants may have some wrinkles or wave-like shapes, although this is not very common. You can easily feel these variations. If the size is advanced, it can also protrude from the outer skin. Especially when it comes to advanced sizes, your existing silicones should be replaced.
Aside from this, there is another condition that occurs in everyone that we still can’t prevent: aging. As we age, every part of our body is subject to the effects of gravity. In this case, even if your breasts are made of silicone, they will still sag. Also, as you gain weight with age, you may change the position of your silicones. While all this is going on, if you are unhappy with the size and shape of your breasts, you may want to think about a breast lift or replacing your implants.
Finally, there is the matter of the person themselves. Everyone may not like their new look after breast augmentation surgery. Larger breasts may be desired, but conversely, smaller breasts may be desired. For this, the patient must undergo another surgery, which is a revision surgery. In rare cases, some people may regret the implantation. After recovery, she may not like the way she looks in the mirror and may request that the implants be removed. These are all possibilities, from the most common to the rarest. To prevent such a situation, choose your doctor carefully and have your doctor examine you every year.
