When considering a Breast Enlargement procedure, it’s important to remember that, post-procedure, breast implants need monitoring to keep a check on wear and leaks – they typically need replacing every 10-15 years. This article describes whether – and when – this needs to be considered.   #BreastImplants #MonitorAndCheck #ASPS #111HarleySt

Did you know breast implants aren't a get-it-and-forget-it medical device? They need ongoing monitoring and typically need replacing every 10 to 15 years. Whether for aesthetic or reconstructive reasons, it's important to keep an eye on them for leaks and wear.

How Do Silicone Breast Implants Impact Your Body?

Top 10 Breast Augmentation FAQs Before you receive a breast augmentation, you need to decide if you want silicone or saline implants. Since there are pros and cons that come with each different type of implant, it's best to consider your own preferences and discuss which option you think is best with your surgeon.

Silicone and Your Body: What You Need to Know One of the primary concerns with breast implants, particularly silicone implants, is a phenomenon known as “gel bleed.” From the moment implants are placed, tiny amounts of silicone can leach into the body. This can trigger your immune system to respond, forming a capsule around the implant. For some, this response is minimal, but for others, it can lead to severe complications, including capsular contracture—a condition where the capsule around the implant hardens and tightens, causing discomfort and disfigurement. Additionally, it’s important to note that breast implants are not lifetime devices. Over time, they can rupture or leak, often without any immediate symptoms. Silent ruptures, where the implant fails without obvious signs, are particularly concerning as they can go unnoticed for years, leading to a host of health issues. The Importance of Regular Monitoring So, how can you stay safe if you have breast implants? Just as you wouldn’t ignore the maintenance of your car’s tires, you shouldn’t neglect regular checks on your implants. The FDA recommends that individuals with breast implants undergo MRI or ultrasound screenings at three years post-implantation and every two years thereafter. These imaging techniques can help detect ruptures and other issues that may not be visible through self-examination or mammography. We are very familiar with the health ramifications of implants. Even if you have set your mind on never explanting, you can improve your health in many ways. If you want to learn more, schedule a call with Jen (207) 358-0748.

Determining the appropriate size for breast implants is a highly personal decision and should be made in consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. https://lnkd.in/ds4iJFG7 #breastimplants #breastaugmentation

🚀 Improving Durability for Non-Active Surgical Implants 🚀   𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 Fatigue testing under uniaxial or multiaxial loading plays a crucial role in assessing the mechanical properties of non-active orthopaedic implants. This rigorous testing ensures that the implants maintain structural integrity and functionality in-vivo.   𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 The corrosion resistance of implants has come into focus in recent years due to increased revisions caused by increased metal ion concentrations and corrosion-induced fractures. This has significantly increased manufacturers' interest in the corrosion assessment of modular implant connections following previous fatigue tests. The notified bodies are also showing increased interest in this regard, as the corrosion resistance of the implants has a significant influence on the durability and clinical outcome. The assessment consists of surface and media analyses as well as determination of implant connection properties.   W𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 As fatigue testing focuses mainly on the structural integrity of single components and assemblies under simplified loading conditions it is vital to test complete implant systems under complex physiological movements. Thus, wear testing reveals weaknesses in modular connections, actual wear behavior – as some wear patterns can be more detrimental than others – and also particulate debris from the implant. Wear-induced particles and ions can cause severe adverse reactions in tissues, and/or trigger immune responses.Therefore, we isolate, qualify and quantify such debris in wear simulator lubricants.   𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 As the notified bodies base their decisions for certification of a medical device in part on our reports we carry a responsibility for the patients, our customers and the complete healthcare community. We second-check, calibrate and conduct interlaboratory studies because our product is a precise and reliable assessment.   Keen to learn more about testing for non-active surgical implants?   📩Feel free to reach out to me for further information.   #MedicalDeviceTesting #MDR #orthopaedics 🌟💼  

Breast Augmentation Explained Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and appearance of a woman’s breasts. The history of breast augmentation dates back to 1895, with significant advancements over the decades in both surgical techniques and implant materials. This procedure is often sought for cosmetic reasons to improve body image and self-esteem, as well as for reconstructive purposes following mastectomy or injury. The development of breast implants has evolved significantly since the early attempts using materials like glass balls in the 1930s. The introduction of silicone gel implants in the 1960s marked a major advancement due to their more natural feel. By the 1990s, saline implants provided a safer alternative, and by the 2000s, cohesive silicone gel implants, often referred to as “gummy bear” implants, became popular for their durability and natural appearance. Technological innovations such as 3D imaging and robotic-assisted surgery have further refined the procedure, enhancing precision, reducing recovery times, and improving overall patient satisfaction. There are primarily two methods of breast augmentation: the use of breast implants and fat transfer augmentation. Breast implants, available in saline and silicone varieties, remain the most common choice due to their reliability and effectiveness. Fat transfer augmentation, involving the transplantation of fat from other body parts to the breasts, offers a more natural but often subtler enhancement. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekzjhnsy #summerplasticsurgery #breastaugmentation #digitalmedia305 #ferminiu
