The implant you choose is the implant you'll live with understand the trade offs of different implants, and choose carefully.
Implant choices? There are many. Round shape, anatomic shape, under filled, adequately filled, overfilled, smooth outer shell, textured outer shell, saline filled, silicone gel filled, or filled with alternative fillers. Each of these choices is currently available somewhere, and each is a valid choice in certain situations. Each has benefits and trade offs. How do you choose? Start by learning about the alternatives! Having the right information is important, but the alternative not knowing could cost you significantly in the future. The only way to make the best decisions is to fully understand the many issues regarding implants.
You can't know too much about implants the issues and the choices. Not knowing now could cost you significantly in the future in quality of results and in complications and need for additional surgery. The future price of poor decisions from lack of knowledge is too high for any patient to pay.
A breast implant is a device. Can you name any device that's perfect? Can you name any device that lasts forever? Can you name any sophisticated device that never requires maintenance? Probably not. So let's start out with three basic truths. Breast implants are not perfect, Breast implants don't last forever, Breast implants may require some maintenance.
If you believe these three statements, you have taken a big step. If you accept that something's not perfect, you can begin learning about its imperfections and whether you are willing to accept them. If you accept that something won't last forever, you can begin to understand the factors that affect its longevity and make choices that help prolong its life. You can also decide whether you are willing to have maintenance if it becomes necessary.
If you can't accept the imperfections of implants or if you are unwilling to have maintenance, don't have a breast augmentation.
As a potential patient, you will almost certainly learn about what is the latest, what is new, and what is supposedly best. What you may not learn is that the first two of these (the latest and new) do not necessarily correlate with the last (what's best). Before we discuss current implant alternatives, we will offer you some interesting and potentially valuable background information.
Regardless of how much you may want to know, you can benefit from knowing a few facts about the history of breast implants, why many new designs that receive a lot of marketing hype and press coverage seem to disappear, and patterns of marketing behavior that have become common in the breast implant industry.
