breast implants

breast implants /
Breast implants are used to shape the breast and, for example, can be used after a removal of the breast tissue to restore the female breast (breast reconstruction). However, their use in the context of cosmetic surgery for breast augmentation is far more common. Corresponding breast operations are today in plastic surgery a routine intervention, but always assume a certain residual risk. The breast implants used usually consist of a silicone sheath filled with silicone gel or saline solution. The use of inferior materials can present a high health risk in view of the permanent retention of breast implants in the body. Therefore, for example, in the course of the scandal involving the implants of the French manufacturer PIP, which were filled with industrial silicone, doctors advised removal of these implants.
