There's Nothing Average About It.

2007-03-13T10:04:00.000-07:00

There's a common misconception that women who get Breast Implants are exotic dancers and uninformed young women.

However according to Mentor; who is a manufacturer of breast implants, and a recent on-line survey revealed that the average breast augmentation patient is surprisingly, "average."

- The average age of women who have undergone breast augmentation is 33.5 years. Additionally the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) says that the trend of teen breast augmentations is a mere fraction and declining.

- The average woman has children; more than 60% of those who took the survey are mothers.

- About 80% of women had some college education, in which a little less than half had a college or professional degree.

- The average woman has done her research and took careful consideration, with well over half of them taking over a year before their surgeries.

So when the next person tells you otherwise about Breast Augmentation surgery, make sure to remind them with a few statistics that they're over-generalizing and maybe even stereotyping a completely legitimate procedure. After all, if you look good, you feel good and that's what's most important.

Questions Frequently Asked By Women With Implants - Pamphlet

2007-03-07T11:35:00.000-08:00

What information should I obtain for my records?

If you are going to be fitted with a breast implant, there are several important items of information you should have for your personal records prior to your surgery.

* Patient information sheet for women considering breast implants: You may obtain this from your doctor.
* Manufacturer's sticker: A copy of the sticker identifies the brand of the implant you will receive, its size and the manufacturer's lot number. This data should be part of your personal medical record. It will be useful if you should have problems following surgery or seek care from another health care provider.
* Package insert: You should also receive a copy of the manufacturer's package insert for the breast implant you will receive. Each package insert contains important information about the precautions to be taken and the risks associated with the specific brand of implant. You should use this insert as a basis for discussion about the surgery with your doctor, and keep it for future reference.
* Informed consent form: This must be signed prior to surgery. It is advisable well in advance of your surgery to obtain from your doctor a copy of the informed consent form so that you may better understand the risks involved and ask questions. This should be kept as part of your records.
* Insurance coverage: Some insurance companies reimburse breast cancer patients for the costs of breast reconstruction after mastectomy including the cost of breast implants. In general, insurance companies do not cover costs associated with breast augmentation. Many insurance companies do not cover explantation. Before surgery, be sure to get in writing answers from your insurance company to these questions:

Does my policy cover the costs of the implant surgery, the implant, the anesthesia, and other related hospital costs? To what extent?

Does it cover removal and/or replacement of the implants if this becomes necessary? To what extent?

Does it cover the cost of detecting or treating a complication as a result of either the implant or the reconstruction? To what extent?

How can a woman find out what kind of implant she has?

This information should be in her medical records. She can contact the hospital or facility where she had the surgery, or ask her surgeon. Women with implants who want this information should seek it as soon as possible, because physicians and hospitals do not keep medical records indefinitely.

How long will my implants last?

Implants age over time and may need to be replaced. Although your implant may last for many years, you should not expect it to last indefinitely.

Should I tell other doctors in the future about my implants?

Yes. Whenever you give a medical history, be sure to inform the doctor that you have breast implants, just as you should tell him or her about other previous surgical procedures.

What is the proper way of examining my breasts?

Like all women, those with breast implants should perform regular breast self-examinations and have regular examinations by their health care provider trained in breast examination. For women with breast implants, these examinations take on added importance because they can help to reveal complications that might be due to the implants. Women with implants should examine their breasts each month so they can detect changes. For women who menstruate, the best time to examine the breasts is two or three days after the menstrual period ends, when the breasts are least likely to be tender or swollen. Women who no longer menstruate should examine their breasts at the same time each month.

To examine your breasts, first stand in front of a mirror and look for anything unusual, such as changes in the shape or appearance of your breasts or nipples. Then lie down on your back to allow for a better examination of tissue which flattens and spreads out for deeper palpation.

With your right arm raised above your head, use the flat surface of your fingertips of your left hand to feel your right breast. Move your fingers in one of three ways: in a circular motion in a clockwise fashion; in strips (like mowing the lawn); or in a radiant pattern. Feel around the breast to feel for any unusual lump, swelling, or mass under the skin of your right breast.

You should also feel for any swelling of glands or lumps in your armpit. Follow the same procedure for the left breast, (using the right hand to examine the left breast, with the left hand raised above the head).

Pay particular attention to changes in the firmness, size, or shape of your breasts. Be attentive to pain, tenderness, or color changes in the breast area, or any discharge or unusual sensation around the nipple. Any of these changes should be reported promptly to a physician, as should any other concerns about your breasts.

Do I need to get regular mammograms?

Women with breast implants who are in an age group where routine mammograms are recommended should be sure to have these examinations at the recommended intervals. (Those who have had breast cancer surgery on both breasts should ask their doctors whether mammograms are still necessary.) But women should be aware that breast implants may interfere with the detection of cancer and that mammograms do not detect implant ruptures or leakage.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been approved by FDA for detecting rupture or leakage of an implant. FDA has not been presented with data showing the effectiveness of other methods, such as ultrasound or computed axial tomography (CAT) scans, when used to detect rupture or leakage. You should discuss the best method of detection of rupture or leakage with your doctor.

Is there a test to detect silicone in the body or to determine whether an individual is sensitive to silicone?

There is no FDA-approved, standardized test to detect silicone in the body. Determining that silicon or silicone is present in body fluids does not indicate whether a person is sensitive to these substances or at risk for any specific disease. (Silicon is an element that is one component of silicone and is one of the most abundant elements on the earth. Everyone is exposed to silicone.)

Some researchers reportedly have developed a test that can detect antibodies to silicone in blood. However, the validity of the test is controversial. Even if such antibodies were detected, the significance would be unclear. Antibodies to silicone would not necessarily indicate that silicone is harmful, or that a person would necessarily have an adverse reaction to it. Some researchers have also reportedly developed a test to detect if a woman's immune system is sensitive to silica, a constituent of silicone breast implants and reportedly a breakdown product of silicone gel. The validity of this test also has been questioned, and it is not clear at this time whether the results of this test have clinical significance. FDA has not approved for general marketing any tests to determine silicone in the body, or to determine whether a woman's immune system is sensitized to any constituent of silicone breast implants.

Even if simple techniques to detect silicone were available, they might not be useful in detecting a rupture, because small amounts of silicone ordinarily bleed even from intact implants. Further, since silicone is found in food and many other products, including commonly used medicines and cosmetics, the tests would not easily determine whether the silicone came from the implant or another source.

Some researchers have also reported that a test called the Anti-Polymer Antibody Assay may be used to distinguish among women with implants who have signs and symptoms of disease ranging from mild to severe. However, the biologic basis for the assay has not been established. The test remains to be validated by additional studies and, at this time, the clinical significance of the test results remains unclear.

Should a woman have her breast implants removed?

If a woman is experiencing symptoms that may be related to her implants, she should contact her physician or surgeon in order to discuss the best course of action. This discussion should include the recognition that the cosmetic results of explantation may be unsatisfactory to some women.

Breast Implants Information: Sub-Glandular

2007-02-02T12:12:00.000-08:00

One of the decisions a doctor and a patient has to make during the breast augmentation process is deciding on which surgical procedure is right for the patient.

The sub-glandular procedure is when the implant itself is placed over the pectoral muscle right underneath the breast tissue.

There are several advantages and disadvantages to a sub-glandular placement.

First of all, the implants are very easy to insert. Most if not all surgeons can do this procedure with relative ease. In most cases there is less recovery time associated with this placement; mainly because there is no incision to the muscles - only to the skin and breast tissue.

With sub-glandular placement woman can opt for larger implants. Especially those desiring distinct cleavage. The look is easily attained with a sub-glandular placement and is used specifically when the breasts are naturally wider spread apart - as opposed to women who have natural cleavage with breasts closer together.

Sub-glandular placement is not without its disadvantages however.

Two distinct visual artifacts can result from this placement. Rippling and capsule contracture are found more common in this placement. Rippling is when the implant sets with the scar tissue and pulls down on the tissue and skin (due to gravity and healing); the extreme resulting in "ripples" on the outside of the breast. Imagine an orange beginning to over ripe and start to wrinkle and 'deflate' a bit. Capsule contracture happens when the scar tissue begins to grow around the implant and set the implant into place but sets it in a disproportional position, making the implants and resulting breasts look crooked, or lop-sided or in extreme cases, being totally placed away from the breast.

The other downside to sub-glandular breast augmentation is that it can be attributed to the 'fake' look. Women seeking natural looking breasts may not want this procedure, sub-glandular placement has a very defined and rounded appearance.

Regardless, you should always do proper and extensive research on your breast augmentation endeavor. Most importantly aside from being properly educated, always, make sure your doctor is Board Certified. You will find only Board Certified Plastic Surgeons on Breast Implants USA.

About Cosmetic Surgery

Plastic surgery is a surgical subspecialty whose broad purpose is to minimize both cosmetic and functional deformities which result from trauma, birth defects, or disfiguring illness. Derived from the Greek word plastikos, which means to shape or to mold, plastic surgeons are sculptors of the human form.

Because of plastic surgeons' long and broad training, they are capable of performing a wide variety of procedures. The requisite five to eight year post-medical school training period allows most plastic surgeons the ability to perform much more than just cosmetic surgery. In fact, most plastic surgeons perform hand surgery, microsurgery, cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery. While each plastic surgeon may have an area of greatest focus, all board-certified and board-eligible plastic and reconstructive surgeons share a common training background.

BreastImplantsUSA.com conducts exclusive interviews with highly respected plastic surgeons on the recent FDA approval of silicone implants for use in breast augmentation.

CULVER CITY, Calif – BreastImplantsUSA.com conducted exclusive phone interviews with industry recognized board certified plastic surgeons from around the country regarding the FDA approval of silicone implants. The doctors voice the benefits of using silicone implants as opposed to the saline implants that have been in use for years as well as the impact this change will have on the industry and the women who are considering breast augmentation.

“Breast augmentation is an important decision and our patients must have all possible educational resources. Patient education is the core of our website.” said David Phillips, CEO and founder of Breast Implants USA. “The audio interviews allow our patients to hear unrehearsed, real opinions from board certified plastic surgeons. The surgeons have very professional and diverse opinions in reference to the recent approval of silicone implants.” Vice President Adam Lilly adds, “The goal of the audio interviews is to provide patients with the latest information pertaining to the newest developments about silicone breast implants. By conducting these interviews, we hope to equip patients to find a board certified plastic surgeon that best fits their personal desires.”

The articles and interviews found at BreastImplantsUSA.com offer women an invaluable resource in making that critical decision for their breast augmentation surgery. The women will get a better idea if silicone implants are right for them. Dr. Peter J. Capizzi who has been in an ongoing study of silicone implants since 1997, comments in an interview, “Silicone implants are softer, ripple less, and tend to give a more natural result, as patients have commented.”

The all-star breast enhancement surgeons of BreastImplantsUSA.com will continue to offer saline as well as the newly approved silicone implants in their practices. The articles and interviews will educate women on the history and further development of silicone implants and why the FDA banned silicone implants in the first place. In another part of the interview with Dr. Capizzi, he goes on to say that, “…the pre-market analysis and most recent studies have shown that some of the silicone implant models have a less rupture risk than saline” — information that is very important for women who are considering breast augmentation options.
