So far, there is no conclusive evidence that silicone implants are harmful to health. However, due to the fact that the production and use of silicone implants is a new technology, research in this regard is still ongoing.

Silicone breast implants are divided according to their shape, content and surface structure into 3 sections

The filling is circular in the form of a semi-circle and when placed in the breast it fills the upper part of the breast. For women who do not have enough tissue in the upper chest, circular implants are more likely to be placed.

The teardrop filling, as its name indicates, is similar in shape to a tear , and therefore its shape is very similar to the natural breast.

And when placed in the chest, it fills the lower part of the chest. However, teardrop implants are not recommended for women who do not have enough tissues in the upper chest

The doctor will test the type of filling that is most suitable for the woman after taking the required measurements.

by content

Fillings containing silicone
Fillings containing saline serum

Silicone gaskets are divided in terms of content into two types. Fillers containing silicone and implants containing saline serum, but both types are covered with a silicone sheath.

According to the surface structure

rough surface filling
Soft surface filling

When looking at the surface type of silicone implants, we see that they are divided into two parts, smooth and rough.

Whatever it is said that the possibility of a capsule forming around the filling is less when using a rough-surface filling, this possibility has not been scientifically confirmed yet. On the other hand, the most important and biggest reason for capsule formation is the body’s reaction to foreign bodies inside the body taken from outside.

fat injection

It is one of the techniques used for breast augmentation, which is carried out by performing liposuction from certain areas such as the buttocks, thighs or sides of the abdomen and passing it from special devices to purify and clean this fat after which it is injected into the chest in a simple and very easy way without the need for any incision or surgery .

This method is used for breasts that need to be enlarged by a small amount.

It is also possible to use hyaluronic acid, which is used for fillers, but it should be used in a small amount due to the risk of reactions when using it.

The woman must be informed of all the medications she takes to the doctor, and if necessary, these medications must be stopped before the operation.
In the event that the woman is a smoker, she must quit smoking 3 weeks before the operation, and she is likely to quit smoking 3 months before the wound heals faster and helps to spend a more comfortable recovery period after the operation.
In the case of a newly born child, it is not possible to undergo breast augmentation until approximately 9 months have passed since the end of the breastfeeding period after birth.
Wherever the filler is to be placed, there will be scarring in that area. After about a year, this scar becomes almost invisible.
