Breast augmentation: current trends

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over a quarter of a million breast augmentations were performed last year.

This number has grown by almost 30% since 2000, so it's clear that women still want breast augmentation.

At the same time, there has been an increase in the number of women opting for smaller implant sizes.

The Gummy Bear represents an important advance in silicone implant technology.

Although the technology has been around for about three decades, this type of implant has only become available within the last five years.

These are implants filled with bonded silicone gel that retains its shape when cut in half.

How is this possible? Simply put, the silicone inside the implant has a higher degree of crosslinking. It holds its shape better and won't wrinkle or ripple as much.

New Cohesive Gel Implants save 2.6% rupture rate over nine years, greatly reducing the need for replacement.

The gel is usually soft and natural to the touch, but some implant manufacturers make them harder than others. Fast Recovery After Breast Augmentation

Lipofilling for breast augmentation

Breast lipofilling

includes the collection of fat by

The advantage of breast lipofilling is that rehabilitation after the procedure usually takes only three to five days.

One of

disadvantages of lipofilling

is that thirty to fifty percent of the grafted fat does not reach the breast, which makes

the result of the procedure somewhat unpredictable. Fat cells are surprisingly delicate and easily damaged, and once they are damaged, the body removes them from the body.
