What are silicone breasts? Breast Implants: Time Bombs

The Internet is full of photographs of women's busts enlarged with the help of implants. These pictures are tempting and inspire many ladies to undergo plastic surgery for breast augmentation.

I am not against such an operation. Not abstractly, not against it from the outside, but went through it myself.

The other day I came across photographs of breasts from which the implants had been removed.

This is what it looked like silicone breasts Sarah:

Big, beautiful, sexy. The girl decided to remove the implants and return the breasts that nature had endowed her with.

Many surgeons will tell you that modern implants so high quality that you go through your whole life with them.

This is very unlikely. It is no coincidence that American doctors working in the most expensive and trustworthy clinics will give you a written recommendation to do a breast MRI every 3 years after surgery.

No, not because implants cause cancer, but because they can be damaged during wear, but visually you most likely will not notice this.

Damaged implants must be removed immediately.

Most implants - even the current generation - will require replacement in 7-10 years.

When enlarging your breasts with silicone, you must be aware that the implants, with a high degree of probability, will not last you until the end of your days. You will have to remove them and either install new ones or have a breast lift.

Silicone implants are not a house that you build once and for all. Silicone implants are a car that sooner or later will begin to cause you inconvenience and will require replacement.

The procedure for re-installation of implants, as well as the procedure for their removal followed by a breast lift, are more expensive than the procedure for primary breast augmentation with silicone.

You must clearly understand this, as well as the fact that the scars that you receive after a breast lift, having removed the implants from there, will remain with you for life. If you don’t want scars, get new implants or walk around with stretched and saggy breasts, like those of a hundred-year-old granny.

For these people, beauty is the most terrible power. They translate their strange ideas about perfect forms into reality with the help of plastic and artisanal surgery. Injections with sealants, injections with cement, injection of superglue, removal of ribs, disproportionately large silicone implants, lengthening of limbs - their methods of combating imperfections own body. For the sake of mythical beauty, they end up in intensive care, deprived normal sleep and suffer from chronic pain in a mutilated body. But this does not scare them, because beauty, as we know, requires sacrifice...
Myra Hills
A 28-year-old resident of Germany has always dreamed of a huge bust. Now she doesn’t even remember exactly where her obsession with silicone curvaceous forms began. Several plastic surgeries made dreams come true. On at the moment in Europe she is the owner of the largest silicone breasts.

Myra really believes that after the operation she began to look damn attractive and sexy. Moreover, the girl is not going to stop there and wants to increase her bust even more.

At the same time, the big-breasted beauty complains about severe pain in the back, which even a special gymnastic program designed to strengthen the back muscles does not help to cope with.

In addition, the 28-year-old German woman has been unable to sleep on her stomach for a very long time - only on her side or back. And choosing clothes each time turns into incredible difficulties for her.

The record holder for the number of breast enlargement operations is currently 30-year-old Brazilian Sheyla Hershey - in total, the housewife underwent 9 plastic procedures.

The bust size of the 160-centimeter Sheila, which made her famous, is 38KKK. It is worth noting that the girl previously lived in the USA, where there is a significant restriction on the maximum volume of silicone implants. Therefore, for the sake of the coveted size, she moved to Brazil.

However, after her bust enlargement, Sheila began to experience chest pain. The doctors she turned to for help found staphylococcal infection, and both implants eventually had to be removed.

Now the Brazilian has modest breasts of the first size. True, the skin has stretched so much that it does not look aesthetically pleasing. But her name still appears in the Guinness Book of Records.

The biggest artificial breasts in Russia

31-year-old socialite Irene Ferrari (real name Irina Matsyno) had her breasts enlarged twice. Exact size The girl cannot name her bust: from 7 (G) to 9 (I).

Irene is proud of her bust and claims that she has become more confident in herself. In addition to mammoplasty, the girl resorted to changing the shape of her nose, removing the lower ribs and enlarging her lips. In addition, Ferrari boasts butt implants.

It is also worth noting that the Russian woman’s body is decorated with 21 piercings in the most different places. As for her bust, the girl is not afraid of terrible pain in the spine and awkward position for sleep - she transforms her body with incredible pleasure.

By the way, one day, during a flight to the USA, the shell of one of the implants burst. This not only did not frighten the brave Ferrari, but also became a reason to interject breast prostheses larger size.

In pursuit of perfect thighs

30-year-old American Vanity Wonder spent more than $15 thousand on new hips and buttocks, making a total of about 100 illegal injections.

After undergoing the procedures, the girl, a dancer by profession and mother of two children, not only significantly increased the volume of her buttocks, but also developed an infection. According to her, her butt “became as flexible as jelly.”

In order to eliminate the consequences of his frivolity, Vanity had, among other things, to insert silicone implants. Now she would like to have smaller buttocks, but she is incredibly glad that she is alive.

To warn other girls about the dangers of the black market for cosmetic services, the dancer appeared on several television shows and wrote a book, Shot Girls, where she told the truth about the risks of unlicensed procedures.

One of the most famous examples of the horrific consequences of the actions of unprofessionals who profit from the desire of girls to look more attractive and appetizing is the court case of Oneal Ron Morris, a 30-year-old false transvestite doctor from Miami.

Last year, Morris was accused of operating an illegal clinic. plastic surgery, awarded the girl who approached him with a request to correct the shape of her buttocks in May 2010 with pneumonia and a severe infection.

As it turned out, the secret of the injections, the cost of which did not exceed $700, lay in their composition - Morris filled the client's body parts with a mixture of cement, superglue and car sealant, which is usually used to seal punctured tires.

It is worth noting that several years earlier, the transvestite tried the “miracle composition” on his buttocks, after which he began performing unlicensed operations. As punishment, the court sentenced Morris to imprisonment and a fine of $7.5 thousand.

Another victim of Dr. Morris was 48-year-old Rajee Narinesingh - the woman went to the ill-fated Miami clinic to change the shape of her cheekbones as cheaply as possible.

Between 2006 and 2008, the false doctor performed several implantations on the woman, in particular in the breasts and buttocks. As a “filler” he used the same mixture of cement, superglue and sealant. The patient is currently undergoing reconstructive plastic surgery.

Christina Ray
24-year-old resident of St. Petersburg Christina Ray was noted last year in the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the largest artificial lips in the world - the girl made more than 100 injections, on which she spent more than $6,000.

The record holder believes that with plump lips she looks much more attractive. The only thing Christina is afraid of is that her silicone-pumped lips might burst. In this regard, the girl does not eat hot food.

Christina’s plans, which foreign media compare to the heroine of the film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”, Jessica Rabbit, are to make her lips even more voluminous.

In the meantime, the artist, whose growing popularity about a year ago brought her to the television project “Dom-2”, continues to transform other parts of the body, in particular - the girl acquired “elven ears”, a forked tongue and many piercings.

“The desire to modify my body has been inherent in me since birth,” said Christina. “At the age of 4, I first realized that my appearance was not very harmonious with inner world and even then I firmly decided: as soon as I grow up, I will definitely correct this problem.”

The actual record waist is 38.1 cm. Because of such miniature waist sizes, Katya Jang has to sew things to order or on her own. Interestingly, a woman has more than a hundred different corsets in her wardrobe. She even wears specific swimsuits.

15 cm
Akash Shukla, a New Jersey resident, spent $85 thousand on limb lengthening surgery. After going through all stages of the procedure, the patient managed to increase his height by more than 15 centimeters.

It is worth noting that limb lengthening is very painful procedure, during which a person’s leg bones are broken. The recovery process is no less painful and complex than the operation itself.

Currently, breast augmentation operations are available, if not to everyone, then to most of those who have such a need. They are affordable both in price and geographically due to the fact that plastic surgeons who practice breast augmentation with implants are now found in almost all large and medium-sized cities of Russia.

It is necessary to immediately make a reservation that the term “pumping up the breasts with silicone” means precisely the use of silicone-filled implants. Injections into the chest using a syringe have only historical value. In European countries and the USA, the introduction of silicone-based fillers into the breast is prohibited by law due to the harmfulness of the procedure and its frequent complications.

For men and women

About silicone prostheses for female breast everyone knows. Placing breast implants in men is a relatively new area of ​​plastic surgery. And we are not talking about gender reassignment surgery at all.

Men's breast implants more often called pectoral, so as not to be confused with female ones. They are most often used by those who are actively involved in sports in order to achieve an ideal figure.

Usually these are those men who have a constitutionally narrow and flat chest And exercise unable to gain the desired muscle volume. Often, surgery to install pectoral implants is combined with liposuction and mastopexy for gynecomastia.

How do men feel about this?

The attitude of men depends on what kind of silicone breasts a woman gets herself. There is a common belief that such breasts:

• much denser than natural;
• she has a huge size;
• the operated breast has an unnatural shape, which often does not correspond to age, weight, etc.

In fact, none of the listed qualities is mandatory, but all of them together or in various combinations occur in women who, when choosing implants, were guided only by size.

Often these qualities are so pronounced that the question of how to distinguish silicone breasts from natural ones does not arise; everything is obvious. In addition to size, they have a fairly large number of other characteristics. If you approach the issue of choosing implants wisely, then no one will be able to distinguish artificially enlarged breasts from natural ones.

Types of implants

The density of the breast to the touch is determined by the density of the implant itself. If you choose soft, then it's an illusion natural breasts will be full. In addition, such implants will behave naturally: accept different shapes depending on the type of bra, the presence of clothing, body position.

If you choose dense ones, then such breasts will be pleasant to look at from a distance, but to the touch they will be clearly artificial and hard. And such breasts will retain the same shape in any position and in any underwear.

Size and shape

Gigantomania and unnatural breast shape, which was chosen in accordance with a stereotyped and exaggerated idea of ​​beauty, without taking into account the features of the figure and appearance in general, is what can often be seen in before and after photographs.

Size does not matter if, with an initial breast size of zero, a woman who is not particularly thin makes a choice between the second and incomplete third size.

If we're talking about about the fourth or fifth size of a twig girl, then we can say with confidence that the unnaturalness will not only be noticeable, it will be striking.

As for the shape, some ladies after the age of thirty often change implants just to make the breast shape more natural for their age. The most interesting thing is that there is not a single comment on men’s forums about the presence of scars as a sign of silicone breasts.

The presence of scars only for women is an indicator of unnaturalness, and even then not for everyone. This means that if you approach the choice of breast size, shape and implant density wisely, then others will not have any suspicions about your new shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ones to choose?

If earlier implants were chosen solely on the principle of “the bigger,” now a huge size is not in fashion. Ideal shapes are in fashion as an indicator of youth and health. Therefore, preference should be given to safe, proven products from those manufacturers that have proven themselves well.

The shape and size must be chosen based on the shape and size of the bust you want to get. To prevent such complications as capsular contracture, implants with a rough surface have been developed.

What can you save on during breast augmentation?

You cannot save on the cost of implants, since replacing low-quality prostheses is a full-fledged operation that is performed under anesthesia and costs money. There are young ladies who find some offices in Europe that sell them cheap. If you want to repeat their experience, please note that this is entirely your responsibility.

On compression garments you won’t save money, since the effectiveness of healing during the recovery period depends on it. You won’t save on pain relief from surgery either, since you can choose budget option anesthesia, but it is a long recovery from anesthesia after surgery, feeling unwell, nausea and vomiting.

Is it possible to breastfeed a baby like this?

It all depends on the method of performing the operation and the location of the incisions. To maintain the opportunity to breastfeed your baby, two conditions must be met:

• the incision should not take place in the area of ​​the areola, since it is in this place that the milk ducts come closest to the skin and there is a risk of damage to them;
• the implant should be installed under the muscle, or partially under the muscle, but not under the glandular tissue of the mammary gland, as this may cause damage glandular tissue glands.

How can surgery affect pregnancy?

The operation can only become a problem if it occurs in the first days or weeks after conception. Anesthetics, painkillers and antibiotics can help toxic effects on the fetus and cause the appearance birth defects development. Therefore, it is recommended to terminate such a pregnancy. In other cases, no plastic surgery is a contraindication for conceiving and bearing a child.

Do implants need to be changed?

3rd generation implants, which are currently used for breast augmentation, do not require routine replacement. Repeated operation will be needed if mastoptosis develops and cosmetic defects such as skin ripples appear.

Price

Prices often depend on experience and reputation plastic surgeon, therefore any attempt to save money may lead to unplanned costs for correcting the received cosmetic defects, which may appear after unsuccessful operation for breast enlargement.

Changeable - at one time large breasts were in fashion, in other periods of history women hid their breasts in every possible way, trying to make them as flat as possible. Nowadays individuality is in fashion, but most have in their minds a certain ideal, part of which is very voluminous, beautiful breasts of the correct shape.

Nature has not given everyone the desired shape, which is why silicone breasts are a very popular plastic surgery service. At the same time, there are many myths about silicone breasts that continue to multiply in social networks and even serious magazines. Let's try to figure out how things really stand with breast plastic surgery, and whether it is worth getting silicone breasts...

1. Rehabilitation after breast surgery is long and painful

Rehabilitation after surgery means 30 days of wearing special elastic underwear. Soreness may be present during the first few days after surgery due to the trauma of surgery. As after any operation, there are painful sensations, which can be treated with analgesics.

2. After breast surgery, noticeable scars remain

Today, breast surgery is the most well-established operation in plastic surgery. When installing a silicone implant, only cosmetic scars remain, which can be located in several places: along the areola line, in the folds under the breasts, or in the armpit area.

The length of the scar is standard, since the size must be such as not to deform the implant and so that its filling remains intact. The size of the access is usually 4-5 cm, no matter where it is. Within 10-12 months it becomes almost invisible if the technology is followed. There are countless photographs of silicone breasts on the Internet, which clearly show how difficult it is to notice traces of plastic surgery.

3. Silicone breasts lose sensitivity

Many people have a different opinion and explain this by the fact that after the operation the skin spreads over the implant, accordingly the number of tactile receptors increases, and therefore sensitivity increases.

4. You can't breastfeed with implants.

Can. Modern technique offers installation for large pectoral muscle, which is located below the mammary gland. Implants have nothing to do with its functioning at all. The implant only changes the shape and size of the breast.

5. Silicone breasts often look unnatural

If you have chosen correct size implants, and the clinic installed them correctly and followed the technology, then everything will look beautiful. Moreover, with modern anatomical implants, an absolutely natural shape of the mammary gland is obtained.

6. Over time, implants can sag or deteriorate.

Implants cannot deteriorate because the shelf life of silicone is longer than the duration of human life. As for sagging, if the implant is selected and installed correctly, then you don’t have to worry about breast sagging. If it is installed under the skin or gland and has large size, heavy for this chest, then of course they can stretch soft fabrics and then the form will not be so beautiful.

7. Silicone implants need to be replaced after 7-10 years

There is a study that included more than 150,000 women, they were followed for more than 10 years after breast augmentation surgery, and over 97% of them were satisfied with their decision to enlarge their breasts. Silicone implants are replaced in cases where a woman decides to change their size or when an injury occurs that compromises the integrity of the implant.

8. Silicone breasts can burst on a plane.

Many celebrities and ordinary women with silicone breasts regularly fly on planes, thereby clearly proving that it is possible to fly. Nothing happens to implants either on an airplane or underwater.

9. Breasts can freeze in the cold

Some people believe that in winter, silicone breasts can freeze and turn into a piece of ice. Theoretically, a silicone implant can freeze in the cold and harden, but this will only require such low temperature, which will first freeze the owner of the breast to death.

10. After breast surgery, you can’t go to the sauna.

Another myth is the fear that high temperature a sauna can warm up the silicone in the breast until the implant is destroyed! The melting point of silicone is approximately 200 degrees, and the temperature in the hottest sauna is no more than 100-130 degrees. However, your body temperature will never be even close to these numbers.

Although doctors do not recommend visiting a sauna with silicone breasts. The fact is that silicone, unlike human body, changes temperature longer. When you leave the sauna, your body temperature will return to normal within a few minutes, but the silicone will take much longer to cool down, which can cause discomfort.

11. After breast surgery, you should not sleep on your stomach.

Immediately after the operation you cannot, but after a couple of months you will be able to sleep in any comfortable position.

12. After losing weight, implants look unnatural and breasts sag

The implant is installed under the muscle, so when you lose or gain weight, the shape remains constant. In addition, women with curvy figures rarely resort to breast augmentation.
Therefore, you should not be afraid of breast surgery, the main thing is to know why to do it. Before you make a decision, think about whether you are ready to deal a blow to your health at your own expense and sew two foreign objects into yourself? will not make you happier, but will only bring your shape closer to the notorious standards of beauty.

There are many examples around when girls with small breasts feel confident in this world. For example, how many mocking and insulting comments were written about her for her small breasts, but she is still pleased with herself and successful in life.
