Breast Implants: Things You Need To Know About

If you are planning for breast augmentation in Dubai, there are many questions you are required to discuss with a board-certified plastic surgeon before making any decision. The major question about breast augmentation is "where the breast implants will be placed?"

Most of the patients don't know that there are different choices when it comes to breast implant placement. These implants may be placed under or over the muscles, and the following factors control the optimal implant placement for each patient, including:

• Body type
• Saline vs. silicone implants
• Implant size
• Individual goals
• Health

Professional plastic surgeons who have performed a huge number of breast augmentation surgeries will suggest the right position for implants. Moreover, patients must understand the advantages and disadvantages of the two different placement options.

Sub Glandular Placement

It is called "over the muscle" placement and is used where the implant is positioned between the chest muscle and the breast tissue areas. When the muscle positioning is done, implants lie below the glands of the breast.

Advantages

• Patients tend to have less movement of implants during physical activity.
• The patient will feel less discomfort right after the surgery.

Disadvantages

• The appearance can be more artificial now.
• Patients may also experience capsular contracture that occurs due to scar tissue. It usually forms around the implant tightens and squashes the implant.
• The reading may fluctuate during mammograms.

Sub Muscular Placement

• The second option is known as submuscular or under the muscle replacement of breast implants. This technique is used for the placement of the implant under the pectoralis major chest muscle.

Advantages

• Patients may experience more accurate mammograms.
• The submuscular placement tends to generate a natural appearance and a reduced rate of capsular contracture. 

Disadvantages

• Some patients may experience discomfort after having the surgery with a longer post-surgical recovery. 

Chest Muscle Role

Chest muscles play an important role in breast augmentation about the placement of implants. Each patient will vary in the amount of muscle and this could be a great factor in determining whether the sub-glandular or submuscular placement is the best decision to go with. In this situation, the anatomy of each patient must be factored in. For example, women who have strong or large chest muscles will be best for over the muscle positioning of implants. With larger chest muscles there will be a tendency for distortion as the chest muscles are flexed. In these cases, sub-glandular placement is most suited.

Facelift Or Botox? Which One Is Right For You?

Every face has a unique story – but for some people, undesired lines and wrinkles turn it into one they are hesitant to share with the world.  There are several options to assist the people to transform themselves, by restoring their youthful appearance and recuperating their confidence.  Botox and facelift in Dubai are two of the most common procedures, and both can have a significant impact. Let's decide which one is best for you.

What Is A Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure that consists of removing extra skin, tightening skin, and lifting facial tissues. Deep wrinkles and sagging skin are the major issues a facelift can address.

Facelift Advantages

• It offers more significant and noticeable results than other injectable treatments.
• As it is a surgical process results last for longer often for 10 years or more.
• A facelift can treat more serious issues that injections cannot.

Facelift Disadvantages

• A facelift requires the patient to undergo anesthesia that has additional risks.
• In any surgical procedure, recovery time is more than non-invasive treatment. Patients may need a period of two or more weeks.
• Swelling and bruising will be more pronounced with a facelift versus an injection. Stitches may be last for several days.

What Is Botox?

Botox is an injectable treatment that eases facial muscles. It smooths lines and wrinkles, including around the eyes and forehead, as well as near the mouth.

Botox Advantages

• Botox is a minimally invasive injection. It is also fast and the overall treatment requires 15 minutes. 
• There is no specific recovery time after a Botox treatment. You can continue your normal activities quickly.
• Depending on the number of treatments, Botox can be a more cost-effective option than surgery.
• Botox results can last three or more months.

Botox Disadvantages

• As the Botox effects last for months, they are ultimately temporary, and additional treatment may be required to maintain the benefits.
• Side effects may include minor swelling or bruising, but typically this can be easily covered by makeup.
• Botox is not best for sagging skin.

Want To Go Smaller Or Bigger? You May Need A Breast Implant Exchange

Year after year, breast augmentation in Dubai ranks as one of the most popular aesthetic procedures. A huge thanks to its ability to change a woman’s entire appearance as well as her sense of self. While many patients are satisfied with their initial breast implants, for some, their bodies, as well as their aesthetic interests. If the size is the major problem, going smaller or bigger with your breast implants can be obtained with a breast implant exchange.

Reasons for breast implant exchange

Dissatisfaction with the look of your initial breast implant is only one of the major reasons why a patient may consider breast implant exchange. Some other reasons are:

• Want to change the type of implant from saline to silicone
• Problem with your breast implants such as capsular contracture
• Changing aesthetic with age
• Wish to switch from textured to smooth breast implants
• Need breast lift to address ptosis that may result from age, pregnancy, and weight loss/gain

Furthermore, keep in mind that no breast implant lasts forever. If you’re satisfied with the appearance and feel of your breast implant and have no complaints such as swelling, asymmetry, implant rupture, and malposition – you're all set to go with a breast implant. If you are not happy with a breast implant or suffering from potential complications then it is the right time to consider breast implant exchange consultation.

Breast implant exchange consultation

The journey to your ideal breast should always start with an experienced consultation and board-certified plastic surgeon. Finding a reliable one is the right way to separate those with rigorous training and expertise to deliver exemplary results. During the consultation, your surgeon will listen to your concerns carefully. Always prefer bringing your original surgical report about your implants.

Breast implant exchange procedure

For some patients, a breast implant exchange procedure is as simple as changing out one size or type of implant for another. Though, there are few exceptions for some patients:

• Exchange a larger implant for a smaller implant
• Have developed ptosis with time
• Had too large implant initially that has stretched breast skin and tissues

These patients may need a more complicated surgical procedure. Every time, a device is placed inside the human body whether it's a new hip joint or a breast implant, a capsule of scar tissue forms around the device.
