Reasons for Breast Enhancement Surgery
Breast enhancement surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure that can improve a woman’s self-confidence and body image. There are many reasons why women choose to undergo breast enhancement surgery, such as increasing the size of their breasts, correcting asymmetry between the two breasts, or restoring volume after weight loss or pregnancy. Some women may also choose to undergo breast enhancement surgery to correct drooping or sagging of the breasts due to age, gravity, or breastfeeding.
Aesthetic Reasons
The most common reason for breast enhancement surgery is aesthetic. Women may want larger breasts to increase their curves and feel more feminine. Breast augmentation can also help women who have asymmetrical breasts achieve a more balanced look. Additionally, some women may opt for breast reduction surgery in order to make their breasts smaller and more proportionate with their body type.
Medical Reasons
In addition to aesthetic reasons, there are several medical reasons why a woman might consider undergoing breast enhancement surgery. Women who have lost significant amounts of weight may need implants in order to restore volume and shape in the chest area. Women who have undergone mastectomy due to cancer may also choose to have reconstructive surgery using implants in order to rebuild the appearance of their chest area after treatment.
Reconstruction After Pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause changes in the size and shape of a woman’s breasts due to hormonal fluctuations and breastfeeding. For some women, these changes can be permanent even after they stop nursing their baby. Breast enhancement surgery can help restore volume and shape in these cases by using either implants or fat grafting techniques.
Main Idea: Breast enhancement surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure to improve body image and self-confidence. Key Findings: Reasons for surgery include increasing size, correcting asymmetry, restoring volume after weight loss/pregnancy, correcting sagging due to age, and reconstruction after pregnancy.
Risk of Rupture and Displacement
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices by the FDA, and typically last over a decade. However, there is still the risk of rupture or displacement due to improper maintenance or other factors. Ruptures can occur when an implant is punctured or torn, which can be caused by trauma, medical procedures, or even age. Displacement occurs when the implant shifts from its original position. This can happen for a variety of reasons including trauma, gravity, or incorrect placement during surgery.
Risks of Implant Rupture
The risks associated with implant rupture vary depending on the type of implant used. Saline implants are filled with saltwater and if they rupture the saline will be absorbed into the body without any harm. Silicone implants may cause more serious health consequences if they rupture because silicone is not naturally found in the body and could lead to inflammation and other complications.
Risks of Implant Displacement
Implant displacement can cause changes in breast shape and size as well as discomfort in the area where it has shifted. It can also cause asymmetry between breasts if one implant shifts more than the other. If left untreated for too long, displacement can lead to further complications such as infection or necrosis (death) of tissue around the implant.
It is important to be aware of these risks before undergoing breast enhancement surgery so that you can make an informed decision about your procedure. Additionally, proper maintenance and follow-up care after surgery are essential for reducing these risks and ensuring optimal results from your procedure.

Proper
Maintenance for Implants
It is important to properly maintain your breast implants in order to minimize the risk of rupture or displacement. While breast implants are not considered “lifetime devices”, they typically last over a decade if cared for properly. The following steps should be taken to ensure that your implants remain in good condition:
Regular Check-Ups
It is important to visit your plastic surgeon regularly for check-ups and follow-up visits. Your doctor will be able to assess the condition of your implants and determine if any maintenance or repairs are needed. During these visits, you should also discuss any changes or concerns that you may have about your implants.
Proper Care
In addition to regular check-ups, it is important to take proper care of your implants at home. This includes avoiding activities that may put undue stress on the area (such as strenuous exercise) and being mindful of potential sources of infection (such as swimming pools). It is also important to avoid exposing the area to extreme temperatures or excessive UV radiation.
Avoiding Trauma
Trauma can cause damage to the implant, so it is important to avoid activities that could potentially cause trauma. This includes contact sports, heavy lifting, and other activities where there is a high risk of impact or sudden movement involving the chest area. Additionally, it is important to choose clothing carefully; items such as bras with underwire should be avoided as they can put pressure on the implant and lead to displacement or rupture.
By following these guidelines and visiting your surgeon regularly for check-ups, you can help ensure that your breast implants remain in good condition for many years. However, even with proper maintenance there is still a risk of rupture or displacement due to factors outside of one’s control; this is why warranties for breast enhancement surgery are so important.
Warranties for Breast Enhancements
When considering breast enhancement surgery, warranties should be a major factor in the decision-making process. most implant products offer comprehensive warranties which provide free implant replacement and coverage for additional surgery costs if needed. These warranties are designed to protect against the risk of rupture or displacement due to improper maintenance or other factors.
Types of Warranties
The most common type of warranty is a limited warranty, which provides coverage for a certain number of years after the initial surgery. This type of warranty typically covers implant replacement and any associated surgery costs for up to 10 years following the initial procedure. Other types of warranties may include lifetime warranties, which cover implant replacement and additional surgery costs for as long as the patient has the implants in place, as well as extended warranties that cover additional surgeries beyond the 10-year mark.
Sientra Implants
One manufacturer that offers particularly comprehensive warranties is Sientra implants. The company offers a lifetime replacement guarantee for ruptures, as well as twenty-year coverage with $5,000 for uncovered fees and costs due to rupture. This means that if a patient’s implants rupture or require additional surgery within 20 years after receiving them, they can receive free implant replacement and up to $5,000 towards any uncovered fees or costs associated with the procedure.
Other Factors to Consider
While it’s important to consider warranties when selecting an implant product, it’s also important to keep in mind other factors such as safety and efficacy. It’s important to research each product thoroughly before making a decision and talk with your doctor about any questions or concerns you may have about the product you’re considering. Additionally, it’s important to follow proper maintenance guidelines in order to ensure that your implants last as long as possible and remain safe throughout their lifespan.
