What are breast implants used for?

Breast implants are high-quality medical devices used to restore or increase the volume of the breast. They are often used in the following situations:

  • Breast reconstruction following mastectomy (breast removal) or injury.
  • Correction of congenital breast deformities, such as Poland's Syndrome, an abnormality of the pectoral region.
  • Cosmetic breast augmentation to improve breast shape and volume.

Whether for medical or aesthetic reasons, breast implants provide an effective, long-lasting solution to meet the specific needs of each patient.

Choosing a breast implant material

Most breast implants consist of a silicone shell, which can be smooth or textured, and a filler. The most common types of filler are:

  • Physiologic serum (saline): This is a recognized safety option. In the event of leakage, it is naturally absorbed by the body.
  • Silicone gel: The most popular choice because of its natural texture and longevity. It conforms perfectly to the body and provides long-lasting aesthetic results.
  • Hydrogel (polyacrylamide PAAG): Although less common, hydrogel is an innovative non-absorbable alternative. It is lighter and more flexible than other types of implants. This material is designed to mimic the consistency of natural breast tissue better.

Some implants also have a polyurethane shell, which is known to reduce the risk of complications such as capsular contracture.

Breast implant placement techniques

Are you considering breast augmentation and wondering which is the best technique for implant insertion? In Turkey, our plastic surgeons adapt the insertion method to each patient's morphology and the type of prosthesis chosen.

Periareolar insertion

In this technique, the implant is inserted through an incision around the areola. The scar blends in perfectly with the natural pigmentation between the breast and the nipple, making it almost invisible. It is compatible with silicone and saline implants, provided the size of the prosthesis is appropriate.

Submammary insertion

The implant is placed through an incision under the breast. This technique is ideal for larger implants because it allows for better positioning. Although the scar is hidden under the breast fold, it may be slightly visible depending on the patient's morphology.

Axillary insertion

In the axillary insertion, the implant is inserted through the armpit, avoiding any scarring of the breast. It is mainly used for saline implants and requires the use of a special cannula. However, this method is not recommended for very thin women because of the potential visibility of the implant passage.

Sub-muscular implantation

Breast implants placed under the pectoral muscle offer a more natural look, particularly for patients wishing a subtle result. However, this technique requires a certain amount of muscle thickness to be achieved. If there is insufficient space under the muscle, a subglandular implant will be preferred.

Preparing for surgery

To ensure a safe and successful recovery, we recommend that you do not take aspirin or other anticoagulants for 15 days before surgery. These medications can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery.

It is also important to stop taking oral contraceptives if you have risk factors (obesity, vein problems, coagulation disorders). This will reduce the risk of complications associated with anesthesia and surgery.

Although smoking is not a formal contraindication, it is strongly recommended that you quit smoking at least 30 days before surgery. Smoking seriously impairs healing and can lead to post-operative complications. By following this advice, you will optimize your chances for a fast healing process and optimal aesthetic results.

Adverse effects of breast implants

Breast implant surgery carries risks, both during the operation and after the implants are placed. It is important that each patient receives clear and comprehensive information before making a decision. The surgeon must explain in detail the potential risks and the appropriate medical recommendations.

Immediate risks after surgery

The most common side effects following breast implant surgery include:

  • Pain: Common in the days following surgery.
  • Swelling: Temporary swelling is normal.
  • Bleeding: Can occur during or after surgery.
  • Infections: Benign or serious, require medical supervision.
  • Changes in sensation: In the nipple or breast, sometimes temporary.

Long-term complications

Breast implants can also cause long-term complications, including:

  • Implant malposition: Asymmetry or displacement may occur.
  • Implant rupture: The implant shell may rupture or tear.
  • Capsular contracture: Hardening of scar tissue around the implant, which may cause pain and deformity.
  • Large Cell Anaplastic Lymphoma (LAGC-AIM): A rare type of immune system cancer associated with breast implants. Although rare, it can be serious and requires immediate medical attention.
  • Aesthetic dissatisfaction: Concerning the size, shape, or appearance of the implants.

If you experience persistent pain, visible changes, or unusual symptoms, contact your surgeon immediately. Regular follow-up is essential to detect and treat any complications early.

Before undergoing breast augmentation, you should discuss the procedure in detail with your surgeon. He or she should explain the risks, possible side effects, and what to do if something goes wrong. An informed decision is based on a full understanding of the pros and cons.

Lifespan of breast implants

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) believes that breast implants should last at least ten years. Studies have shown that some types of breast implants can last much longer, while others can last much less. That's why some women keep their breast implants for more than 20 years. 

If a breast implant ruptures, additional surgery may be required to remove the implant. 

In summary, breast implants have an average lifespan of 10 to 20 years.

It is important to note that breast implants do not have an expiration date or shelf life. The FDA does not consider breast implants to be a device for life.

Frequently asked questions

Breast implants do not tighten or lift the breasts. Instead, you should have breast lift if you have sagging breasts.

Usually, this is possible because the breast prostheses will be located behind the mammary gland. However, it also depends on the type of incision.
For women wishing to breastfeed after the surgery, an inframammary incision (under the breast) or a transaxillary incision (under the axils) is recommanded. The periareolar incision (around the areola) would alter the sensitivity of the nipple and affect milk production.

There is no link between breast implants and breast cancer. This has not been scientifically proven.

The success rate of breast implants surgery in Turkey is 98%.
