10/23/2017 3:19:00 AM by Carlos Spera, Md Plastic Surgery

Breast augmentation Miami can be safely done under local anesthesia on those patients that want to avoid general anesthesia. The local anesthesia used is equivalent to tumescent anesthesia utilized for liposuction under local anesthesia. The Breast augmentation Miami surgery is performed through a 3cm incision that will end in a small scar hidden within the breast fold. This is achieved by creating a single small incision after calculating the newly formed breast crease. Patients have been very satisfied with the results of this new procedure and we are excited to share a few of our results.

Do I need to change my breast implants every 10 years?

10/23/2017 3:19:00 AM by Carlos Spera, Md Plastic Surgery

The short answer is probably not. So if it's not really necessary, why is it that every patient that researches breast augmentation has come across the magic number of 10? The need to replace breast implants (saline or silicone) every 10 years is based on factual data that has since been slightly misrepresented . In 2011, the FDA released this report on the safety of silicone breast implants. Rather than reading the 63-page report, here's the bottom line. After 10 years of an initial breast augmentation, 1 out of 5 patients need some sort of revision procedure. That means 20% of patients need another operation due to excess scarring inside the breast (capsular contracture), broken implant etc. That also means that 80% of the patients are doing fine at 10 years . So if you're having an issue, sure, you may need to change out your implants. But with proper monitoring (self-exams, physician exams), you don't need to automatically replace your implants every 10 years . Also, keep in mind that this study was released in 2011. Since 2011, there are newer fifth generation gummy bear implants. These implants appear sturdier than the implants studied in 2011. So maybe updated 10-year data with newer implants will show a less frequent need for revision, in the sub-20% range . The numbers above reference data for cosmetic breast augmentation. Implants used for breast reconstruction differ. Because of radiation and thinner breast skin after mastectomy, implants for breast reconstruction tend to have a higher percentage that require exchanging every 10 years. Check with your doctor to be sure . Schedule a FREE consultation in #Miami or #FortLauderdale at ????305-552-5259 or at CarlosSpera.com
