What are breast implants?
- Breast implants are artificial devices made of silicone shells that are used to change the shape or size of your breasts.
- They can be filled with either silicone gel or saline (sterile saltwater).
- Silicone implants: Filled with silicone gel, they are the most commonly used implants. They give a more natural feel like the breast tissue.
- Form-stable (gummy bear) implants: These are prefilled silicone implants where the consistency of the silicone gel is thicker than the traditional implants hence are also firmer than the traditional silicone gel implants.
- Saline implants: Have an outer silicone shell filled with sterile salt water which may be prefilled or may be inflated after the implant has been placed in the surgically created pocket. In case of a rupture or leak the implant collapses and the saline gats absorbed and naturally expelled by the body.
- Individuals who have completed their breast development.
- Those in good physical and mental health.
- People with realistic expectations about the outcomes.

- Breasts can play a significant role in gender expression.
- The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.
- Incisions are made in discreet areas such as the areola, breast crease, armpit, or belly button. - The implant is inserted either under the breast tissue and chest muscles or between the chest muscles and breast tissue.
- Initial recovery involves soreness, swelling, and bruising.
- Full recovery typically takes six to eight weeks.
- You will be required to wear a support bra for several weeks to aid in healing. - Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor your recovery.
What are the risks associated with breast implants?
Saline implants are silicone shells filled with sterile salt water and can be inflated after placement in the surgically created pocket.
Silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel and look and feel more natural. These are the most commonly used implants.
Are Breast implants associated with cancer?
the USFDA in 2016 confirmed that women with breast implants may be at an increased risk of BI-ALCL, which is cancer arising in the capsule of the implant and is a very rare type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This can be easily detected and is highly treatable. The treatment is the remove the implant and the capsule immediately. American cancer society recommends yearly screening of all women above 45 with mammogram for breast cancer. Women with implants should also undergo this routine assessment and examination as directed by their surgeon.
- Short-term complications include bleeding and infection.
- Long-term risks may involve implant rupture, capsular contracture, and may need additional surgeries in a few cases.
- Discuss your expectations and medical history with your surgeon.
- Preoperative measures include stopping smoking about 4 weeks before the procedure, avoiding certain medications like blood thinners, getting a baseline ultra sound or mammogram done along with blood tests.
- Breast implants are durable and provide a predictable outcome with a single session
- They can significantly boost self-esteem and improve body image.
- If you experience severe pain, unusual discharge, or signs of infection.
- Regular check-ups should be scheduled to ensure proper recovery and monitor implant condition.
