Review of Mentor Silicone Round Breast Augmentation

BEST FAQ

Compiled from Authentic Daily Inquiries at PSC Clinic. (Patient names replaced with pseudonyms)

  • "Ying Lee's Question: Following breast augmentation surgery, will the breasts feel as natural as real ones? Would a partner be able to discern the difference? PSC's Response: The post-augmentation softness of breasts varies based on several factors. The crucial determinant is the amount of natural breast tissue present. If there is ample natural tissue, and less reliance on silicone size, the augmentation can feel remarkably realistic, sometimes indistinguishable. The touch may mirror that of real breasts due to substantial tissue coverage. Those with less natural tissue may experience slightly softer results, although overall satisfaction remains high. Additionally, the presence of a breast lift plan can contribute to softer outcomes."
  • "Aung Ing's Question: What leads to the thickening of the fascia? PSC's Response: The presence of a thin membrane around silicone breast augmentation material typically triggers a response. Ordinarily, it remains loose until the breasts harden. Medical experts attribute excessive inflammation from surgery, congestion, or infection to this phenomenon. In such cases, the response can become overactive, causing the fascia to thicken and constrict around the silicone, resulting in significant firmness in the chest area."
  • "Aung Ing's Question: Is there a method to prevent fibrosis? PSC's Response: Employing surgical techniques that minimize tissue trauma, such as breast incisions or armpit endoscopy, can help prevent fibrosis. Additionally, maintaining stringent cleanliness in the operating room environment and utilizing high-quality surgical instruments are essential preventative measures."
  • "Khun Preawpreed's Question: Is it common to develop stretch marks after breast augmentation? What steps should be taken if they occur? PSC's Response: While it's uncommon, some individuals may develop stretch marks, particularly if opting for significantly larger implants. The skin typically adapts well to stretching. The efficacy of pre-surgery skincare treatments in preventing stretch marks remains uncertain. However, if stretch marks do arise and are severe, they can be reduced through laser treatments like Fraxel, available at the clinic."
  • "Ying Lek's Question: What precautions should we take post-surgery? PSC's Response: Following surgery, if the implants are placed under the muscle, it's advised to abstain from driving for one week. Refrain from engaging in activities requiring excessive arm and chest muscle usage for 1-2 months, and avoid heavy exercise for 2-3 months. - It is recommended to wear a sports bra for 1-2 months before transitioning to an underwire style. - Monitor for symptoms; breasts should gradually soften and shrink over 2-3 months, resulting in a pleasing shape. - Attend to scar care by applying medication and using gel sheets for 6 months. - Follow up with scheduled appointments with your doctor."
  • "Ms. Aura's Question: Which type of silicone implant is most commonly preferred? PSC's Response: The choice of silicone implant depends on individual suitability, with the doctor assessing factors such as breast structure. For instance, teardrop implants are often recommended for cases with a short or higher-than-normal breast base, or for size adjustments in specific instances. If both types are feasible, patients can discuss their preferences with the doctor. It's important to consider various risks as well. Currently, approximately 70% of patients opt for round implants, while 30% choose teardrop implants, which offer a natural appearance. However, there is a slight risk of rotation (about 1%) associated with teardrop implants. Ultimately, the doctor prioritizes achieving the most aesthetically pleasing outcome with minimal long-term risk."
  • "Ms. Mama's Question: What happens to the chest if silicone implants are removed? PSC's Response: The outcome varies based on the skin's ability to retract. If the skin has good elasticity, the risk of sagging breasts is lower. However, if the skin has stretched due to factors like prolonged wear of large implants or augmentation above the muscles, there's a higher risk of sagging. In such cases, it's typically recommended to replace the implants with new ones rather than removing them entirely."
  • "Khun Spa's Question: Can I lie down and massage myself after breast augmentation surgery? PSC's Answer: It's not advisable to sleep on your stomach for three months after breast augmentation surgery to avoid putting pressure on the wound and prematurely dislodging dissolved sutures. After this period, it's generally safe to resume normal sleeping positions. For those who undergo surgery through the armpit, it's recommended to wait for two months until muscle inflammation subsides before sleeping on your stomach."
  • "Khun Pooh's Question: Will the breasts be close together after breast augmentation? PSC's Answer: In reality, breasts appear closer together when wearing a bra; however, without one, they naturally loosen somewhat. The distance between the cleavage largely depends on the individual's original breast structure, as it's essential to position the silicone implants to maintain a natural appearance and avoid affecting nipple placement. Overall, post-augmentation, the breasts will typically be reasonably closer together than before, but this may take about 2-3 months as the muscles fully stretch. Additionally, the shape of the breastbone plays a role; if the bones flare out (commonly referred to as ""chicken breasts""), the breasts won't be very close together. Conversely, if there's a central depression in the bone, they will be somewhat closer than usual."
  • "Khun Somsri's Question: Will my breasts sag significantly as I age or after breastfeeding, post breast augmentation? PSC's Answer: Age-related changes in natural breast skin characteristics may occur, but generally, sagging isn't a significant issue. However, wearing excessively large implants can accelerate stretching beyond normal, more so than natural breast tissue. Those with ample natural breast tissue may experience less sagging compared to individuals with less tissue."
  • "Nong Ni New's Question: Can I undergo breast augmentation at 18 years old? PSC's Answer: The appropriate age for breast augmentation is from 18 years and above, as breasts are typically fully developed by this time. However, since individuals under legal age require parental consent, it's essential for parents to sign consent forms for the procedure."
  • "Khun Fahsai's Question: Is it necessary to abstain from smoking and alcohol before and after surgery? PSC's Answer: Smoking can delay wound healing, so it's advisable to refrain from smoking for 14 days before and after surgery. Regarding alcohol, consuming large amounts post-surgery can have adverse effects, so it's recommended to abstain from alcohol for two weeks before and after the procedure."
