The breast is the symbol of womanliness. Its size,
form are the sources of frequent problems for most women.
Some ladies would like to have bigger ones, some would
like them smaller, there are those who would like to
correct an asymmetric look, or those who would like
to correct the changes, descent caused by pregnancy.
The first surgical procedures for breast augmentation
were tried during the end of years 1800. The silicon
was first used for this reason in 1964 by the idea of
two American plastic surgeons, Cronin and Gerow. The
first generation of implants has gone through a great
development. The structure however has remained the
same: a silicon shell filled with either silicon gel
or a salt-water solution known as saline.
Both types are safe, those traded in the Hungarian
market correspond to both American and European standards.
The touch of silicon filled implants resembles most
to the touch of natural breast while the saline filled
implants are harder.
Last years novelty is the cohesive gel filled implants
where the gel is placed in such a form that even in
case of a shell fracture it cannot leak.
The implants mentioned above have no harmful effect
to the human body. Pregnancy, giving birth, nursing
are all possible after a breast augmentation procedure.
The insertion (incision in the armpit, around the nipples,
or under the breast) or the precise place of the implant
(directly under the breast tissue or beneath the chest
wall muscle) is determined individually during the examination
and consultation.
The body will form a capsule around the implant. This
capsule may sometimes tighten, where, in serious cases,
another operation may become necessary.
The operation is mostly done in general anesthesia
after which a day of hospital care is necessary. The
patient should wear a surgical bra for 3-4 weeks, but
1 week after the procedure she can go back to work if
necessary.

Common questions:
- Can implants cause breast cancer or any other diseases?
No, they cannot. It's been rechecked over and over
in many countries in the world, and the results are
conclusive.
The EQUAM (EUROPEAN COMMITTEE ON QUALITY ASSURANCE
AND MEDICAL DEVICES IN PLASTIC SURGERY) Consensus
Declaration on Breast Implants (July 4, 1998. Regensburg)
is about this subject.
- After this procedure will I be able to breast feed
my child?
Yes. Nursing is the same way possible as without the
implants.
- The implants are better inserted under the breast
tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle?
Both places are convenient, the decision is done by
the plastic surgeon based on professional reasons.
- When will I be able to do some sport after the operation?
3-4 weeks after the surgery if the implants are inserted
under the breast tissue, 6 weeks if it they are placed
beneath the chest wall muscle.
- Is it possible that my body should reject the implants?
No, it is not possible. The implant will not provoke
an immune response in your body.
