History of breast prosthesis proves that prosthesis material is comparably safe to human body; after implanting into the human body, if there are no complications with satisfactory results, it could stay in the body for long-term and needn’t pick out. Whether taking out of the body is decided by the complications. Once there are break, cirrhosis and other complications, please take out of it.
Please choose high-quality prosthesis: The breast prosthesis are national, joint venture and imported products. The quality of prosthesis directly influences the surgery effect, while the poor-quality products will lead to leakage, rupture, and other complications. After picking up, please extrude forcibly and carefully observe the wall thickness; moreover, please find whether there is weak area and whether the seal is well fastened.
In developed countries, professional plastic surgeons operate and choose the incision in the armpit, areola papillaris, breast ectocondyle or breast downside plica. The category of breast implants show as follows:
Silicon gel breast implants: better handle, but if the wound breaks, it will be harmful to body. It had been eliminated in 1991.
Injected water breast implants: there is a valve, so it is easy to leak.
Dual-chamber breast implants: including two above shortcomings, so it is seldom used in clinic.
Hydrogel and gel breast implants: it is widely used all over the world. With good handle, it is no harm to body if there is leakage, but the cost is higher.
The breast implants basically unaffect the future breast-feeding, but if the accidents occur in the operation, it is inevitable to avoid breast-feeding problems.
Accidental factors influence breast-feeding
As to the current medical standards, as well as the choice of materials and technology, the breast implants are safe to a large extent, so it will not affect the future of women breast-feeding. However, if some accidents appear which spread to galactophore and make the galactophore infection, phyma and fibrosis, they probably affect the normal physiological functions of the breast and produce lactation obstacles.
One reason: break of prosthesis
Because of the quality problem or external trauma, the prosthesis breaks and infiltrates breast tissues, which are most likely to block the galactophore duct. If there is no timely treatment or no disposal and solution, it may also influence the secretion and excretion of latex and emerge breast-feeding problems.
Solution: 1. anti-infection; 2. taking out of cracked prosthesis; 3. if there is abscess, please have a surgery; 4. incision, drainage.
Second reason: infection, bleeding
Trauma in surgery is inevitable, so the postoperative treatment is essential. Once there is infection or bleeding wound, which involves galactophore and produce mastitis, fibrosis of the breast, breast lumps, and so on.
Solution: 1. stop bleeding, anti-infection; 2. remove the prosthesis; 3. foment and physical therapy; 4. liquid silicone is banned so as to prevent the flow and appear exosmosis.
