Changing the silicone filling in Türkiye

Changing the silicone filling, breast implant or breast augmentation adjustment is a surgical procedure that replaces an old breast implant with a new one and changes or improves the appearance of the breast at the same time. This can include raising or lowering, or simply increasing or decreasing the size of the implants.

What are the reasons that push you to perform the operation?

Other reasons for breast implant modification include the desire to change the shape, size and position of the breasts, to change the type of implant from saline to silicone or vice versa, or to correct implant-related problems such as capsular contracture, leakage or rupture of the implant.

Sometimes, a patient simply desires a more natural appearance.

Breast implant adjustment can also include a simultaneous lift to reduce the appearance of sagging breast implants and/or sagging breast tissue over the implants.

When considering breast implant revision surgery. Keep in mind that this type of breast surgery can be more complex. Because it will not be specifically designed to achieve the goals and desires of the patient. As far as any pre-existing complications, scarring, or other problems from previous breast augmentation surgery, you have to deal with it.

This is why breast implant revision should only be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in all types of breast augmentation surgery, including breast implant revision surgery.

The surgeon performs a full consultation, including viewing the medical history, photographs, and adjusting the patient’s external records.

After that, the surgeon develops a surgical action plan that specifically addresses all the patient’s problems and goals for the surgery, and then reviews it in detail prior to the breast implant reconstruction surgery.

Why change silicone implants after breast augmentation?

One of the reasons for breast implant adjustment is to suffer from the pain of capsular contracture in the current implant. (Which requires excision of the capsule to get rid of the tightness of the scar tissue.

Another reason for adjusting breast implants is the desire to correct implant asymmetry. This happens when one implant heals differently than the other.

Even more so, if the breasts were asymmetrical before breast implants. A patient may need revision surgery to make them as symmetrical as possible (but of course, you should know that breasts are often “alike rather than alike”).

Correction of asymmetry between the breasts can sometimes be done by acting on the implant capsule. Other times, however, it may require a reduction in the size of the implants.

The implant is out of place, which is what happens when there is a weakness in the elasticity of the tissues. This causes things to stretch and the implant to fall against the chest wall.

Finally, implants can pop in too high a position if the contraction of the capsule distorts the position of the implant. Or if breast tissue is hanging from the implant, causing an abnormal appearance.

Sometimes reasons to consider breast implant modification are based on a personal aesthetic preference, such as wanting to switch to newer silicone implants versus older water implants.

Replacing hydroponic implants with silicone implants can also reduce the amount of visible rippling found with saline implants.

Ripple can occur even with silicone implants, and then the adjustment is either by moving the implants behind the muscle (if it was above the muscle before). or changing the type of silicone implant to one with a more “sticky” gel (stronger and less likely to show ripples).

Other causes may include changes in the breasts and thus the appearance of breast implants. It may appear after pregnancy, weight loss or gain, or just aging in general.

What should I know about changing the silicone filling?

Breast augmentation can be a very complex procedure when careful attention is paid to the appearance and texture of the breast as well as its shape and size.

Trends in breast augmentation vary over the years and techniques change and improve just like anything else. So you may aim for a different, more updated look with breast implant modification.

Breast implants can also change over the years. It changes shape and the way it is positioned in the body, and the implants can dangle like a natural breast as well

Upper breast tissue also changes with age, especially when you gain or lose weight. Or even because of the pressure that the implants put on the breast tissue, which leads to a change in the shape and appearance that differs from the original result.

Who is a suitable candidate for a silicone implant replacement procedure?

Breast implant revision surgery is for individuals who have previously undergone breast augmentation surgery and are unhappy with its results due to various reasons including the shape, size, and overall shape of their breasts.

The patient may be a candidate for the operation simply because he is worried about the placement and condition of the breast implants!

Breast implant revision surgery aims to fix problems with implants and address aesthetic concerns by replacing existing implants and modifying the silhouette and other cosmetic details of the breasts.

Good candidates for breast implant revision surgery are those who are otherwise healthy. No active medical problems, healthy and stable weight, and non-smokers.

The surgeon evaluates the patient’s current health status and determines whether breast implant reconstruction surgery is a good option for him. Breast implant adjustment should also be considered when capsule contracture or implant rupture is present.

It is normal for the body to form a capsule, or soft layer of scar tissue, around a breast implant because it is a foreign body.

This capsule is usually kept soft. But if the capsule becomes inflamed and the scar tissue starts to contract, then an abnormal process called “capsular contracture” occurs.

The breast begins to firm first after breast augmentation. It then progresses and, if left untreated, may lead to further hardening and even pain and deformity of the breast. It may be important for the patient to maintain positive expectations about breast implant surgery, but realistically.

A good plastic surgeon helps manage expectations and maintains patient satisfaction with the results of breast implant modification.

There may be natural characteristics of the body that can affect or limit the results you can achieve, and the surgeon can discuss this with the patient during the consultation.

Recovery time for breast implant replacement surgery

Recovery time for breast implant revision surgery varies based on the individual, the extent of the surgery that was performed, or other underlying issues or complications. The surgeon places bandages over the incisions immediately after the breast implant adjustment procedure. It is usually placed in a soft, rolled-up dressing which is changed to a supportive bra at the follow-up visit the next day..

Drainage tubes may also be temporarily placed under the skin of the breasts. These tubes drain excess fluid or blood. These tubes will likely be in place for several days, and the patient will be given instructions on how to care for them and monitor their passage. It is the amount of excrement produced in 24 hours that determines how quickly it can be removed.

It is generally advised to take one week off work, and to avoid strenuous activity or exercise for six weeks, and this should be followed unless otherwise told by the surgeon.

He or she will provide your plastic surgeon with information about how to care for the wound in the days following surgery, and any medications or antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection and help promote healing.

Prescription painkillers are given to take when necessary. Although the recovery process is progressing after breast augmentation, the patient may need to use over-the-counter medications.

But you should first consult your doctor before taking anything new, even over-the-counter medications or nutritional supplements.

The doctor also notifies the patient if there are any changes or specific concerns at the surgical site or incisions, as well as general health.

Of course, there will be a follow-up appointment the day after surgery, and several follow-up appointments scheduled afterward to check how you’re healing and place your new breast implant, and to get any recommendations for additional care or follow-up or a recommendation for the use of certain treatments that might improve the outcome.
