Hey there! As a supplier of silicone breasts, I get a lot of questions about the side - effects of silicone breast implants. It's a topic that's super important, and I want to share some in - depth info with you.
First off, let's talk about what silicone breast implants are. They're medical devices made of a silicone outer shell filled with silicone gel. They're used for breast augmentation, reconstruction after mastectomy, or to correct breast asymmetry. Sounds great, right? But like any medical procedure, there are potential side - effects.
One of the most common side - effects is capsular contracture. This happens when the body forms a capsule of scar tissue around the implant. The capsule can then tighten and squeeze the implant, causing the breast to feel hard, look distorted, and sometimes be painful. It can occur at any time, but it's more likely to happen within the first few years after the implant surgery. The exact cause isn't fully understood, but factors like infection, bleeding around the implant, and the type of implant can increase the risk.
Another issue is implant rupture. Silicone implants can rupture either silently or with symptoms. A silent rupture means there are no obvious signs, and it might only be detected during a routine MRI or other imaging test. When a rupture is symptomatic, you might notice a change in the shape or size of the breast, pain, or lumps. Ruptures can be caused by trauma, normal wear and tear over time, or even the surgical procedure itself.
Infection is also a concern. After getting breast implants, there's a risk of bacteria getting into the area around the implant. This can lead to redness, swelling, pain, and fever. In severe cases, the implant might need to be removed until the infection clears up. Poor surgical technique, a weakened immune system, or not following post - operative care instructions can all contribute to the risk of infection.
Some women also experience changes in nipple and breast sensation. After the surgery, you might notice that your nipples or breasts are more sensitive, less sensitive, or even completely numb. This can be temporary or permanent. The nerves in the breast can be damaged during the implant placement, which leads to these sensation changes.
There's also a potential link between silicone breast implants and a rare type of cancer called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). It's not a breast cancer but a cancer of the immune system cells that can develop around the implant. The risk is very low, but it's something to be aware of. Symptoms can include swelling, pain, or a lump around the implant.
Now, I know all this might sound a bit scary, but it's important to remember that most women who get silicone breast implants have a positive experience. The benefits, like improved self - esteem and body image, can be really significant for many. And as a supplier, we work closely with medical professionals to ensure that the implants we provide are of the highest quality and safety standards.
If you're thinking about getting silicone breast implants, it's crucial to have a detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon. They can explain all the potential side - effects in more detail based on your individual situation. They'll also go over the benefits and help you make an informed decision.
