Implants
Breast implants can either be silicone gel-filled or saline solution-filled. They are effective in correcting breast problems that arise from surgery, aging, breastfeeding, and developmental defects.
Advantages
Forms of breast implants are DFA approved, so they are generally safe for your health. They can mimic real breasts and can last for as long as more than ten years. Ruptures of implants are isolated cases, and if that happens, there are no accompanying health hazards to get alarmed. Once rupture or displacement occurs, removal or replacement can be done anytime. There is no long-term discomfort after the surgery has healed.
Disadvantages
Implants are foreign objects, and some patients undergoing the procedure may not have an open mind about it. Recovery time may last longer because it is an invasive procedure. Swelling, itching, and some pain are the usual complaints of patients while recovering.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer involves liposuction of fats anywhere in the body where they are deposited. These fat tissues are then injected into the breast.
Advantages
Fats are taken from your own body, and so they are 100% natural. You are also taking away unwanted fats from other parts of your torso and bringing them to where it is needed. This method is recommended for those who are afraid to go under the knife because it is a noninvasive procedure. There are no formations of scars, and you won’t be spending a lot of your time recovering.
Disadvantages
Implantations through fat transfer can be unsuccessful when necrosis of transferred fat tissues happens, or the injected fats leave the area. Cysts and infection can always develop.
It is always advisable to talk to your surgeon on what method is best for you. You also ask about the cost and the precautionary measures that you should do after the procedure.…
