Help Prevent Your Risk For Breast Augmentation Reoperation
Breast augmentation reoperation rates were calculated between 18% and 22%
, according to data accumulated by the FDA in 2003 and 2005. A common reason among many breast augmentation patients for reoperation was the desire to further increase breast size. Other reasons for breast augmentation reoperation included complications such as capsular contracture and breast implant deflation. Since 2005, plastic surgeons have taken steps to reduce the reoperation rate by focusing more time with prospective patients on the selection of the breast implants prior to the initial breast augmentation surgery. In fact, the types of strategies that women and plastic surgeons may utilize to help reduce the risk of reoperation are worthwhile to investigate, including:
Know What You Can Do to Reduce the Risk of Reoperation
1.Try filling a pair of knee high panty hose with rice and insert the filled stockings into your bra in order to better determine the appropriate breast enlargement size that you would like.
2.Use gel inserts in your bra on daily basis over a period of time to see and feel how breast implants might be.
3.Bring different types of clothing to the initial consultation at the plastic surgeon's office in order to see how the appearance of breast augmentation results differ in work clothes, casual attire and swimwear.
4.Take as much time as necessary in the initial consultation to try on and view different breast implant types in order to make a better selection.
One of the standard methods that plastic surgeons use to help women determine the appropriate breast implant type for their breast augmentation procedure is through one and/or two dimensional imaging technology. When women interested in breast augmentation visit plastic surgeons to inquire about breast augmentation, plastic surgeons will allow women to try on different breast implant types in order to help determine the appropriate breast implant size. Plastic surgeons will also take digital photos or two-dimensional computer generated images that provide women interested in breast augmentation with an estimation of the appropriate breast implant size. Now, plastic surgeons may purchase the first ever three-dimensional breast imaging technology through Canfield Scientific, Inc.
In September of 2008, Canfield launched the Breast Sculptor, a new product to allow women interested in breast augmentation and breast reconstruction an improved means for selecting the right breast implant type. The Breast Sculptor allows for the image of an infinite number of breast implant types to be impressed upon an image of a womans breast so that changes in surface, volume, projection and profile can be documented to a precise degree. This, in turn, helps plastic surgeons to customize breast implant choices for women interested in breast augmentation.
And the added dimension to better breast implant choices for women interested in breast augmentation is the
Canfield Technology which may provide a more customized fit in the breast area for breast implants today. In addition, women may view simulated images of the results of a breast augmentation procedure in varying body positions. The infinite number of image choices through Canfield's technology is expected to assist women in making better breast implant choices. This, in turn, may impact the reoperation rate in women that have had breast augmentation, but a desire to change breast implant size.
