Breast Implants at CORAMED Beauty Surgery

One of the most popular treatments in the field of plastic surgery is breast augmentation with breast implants (breast prostheses). It is used in many cases, including:
• small breasts or atrophy of the mammary gland to be enlarged,
• eliminate pediatric asymmetry,
• after mastectomy, for breast reconstruction.
Breast size imbalances are common – especially for girls and young females. Sometimes, however, differences in breast size may result from illness, e.g. Poland’s syndrome.

Silicone implants

Breast augmentation uses various types of breast prostheses. They differ in size, shape, profile and material from which they are made. The most common implants are prostheses filled with medical silicone gel (Cohesive gel). The advantage of medical silicone is that it is inert  or neutral to the body. This means that it does not cause allergic reactions or the formation of an inflammatory process. Modern breast prostheses have an improved surface – it is rough, which makes it difficult for the body to create a painful, hard fibrotic changes around them. Breast implants do not interfere with maternity plans – they allow undisrupted  breastfeeding.

Each breast augmentation procedure is performed under general anesthesia. A patient deciding on this type of surgery should have the following tests performed a maximum of 10 days before surgery:

• blood group
• morphology
• blood coagulation factors (APTT / INR)
• creatinine level
• glucose level electrolytes (Na-sodium, K-potassium)

An anesthesiological interview is conducted immediately before the procedure and an interview with an anesthesiologist during which the patient can learn all aspects of general anesthesia. About two weeks before surgery, smoking should be stopped – it has a significant impact on the wound healing process. You should also avoid taking medicines that thin the blood, e.g. aspirin. On the day of the operation, do not eat or drink beverages (including water) for a minimum of 6 hours before surgery.
