Natrelle Silicone Implants: Are They Safe?
Choosing to go ahead with breast enhancement surgery is a big enough step out of your comfort zone without worrying about the side effects or complications that are associated with this type of surgical procedure. In the past, one would choose a saline implant over an implant filled with silicone any day of the week. Horror stories of silicone leaking inside of women’s bodies due to a faulty augmentation have made people turn their back on silicone. Well, scientists at the Natrelle Company have worked very hard in this field to come up with a safe and reliable silicone implant with an extremely slim chance of any sort of puncture or malfunction. A Natrelle silicone implant is one of the safest silicone implants available today and was approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe alternative to saline solution implants.
The Natrelle Company does not just offer silicone implants. They do have saline implants available as well. Silicone implants are pre-filled and surrounded by several layers of the protective shell to keep it from possibly leaking. Because it is already filled with the silicone gel, a larger incision must be used on your skin in order to fit the implant in place. In years past, plastic surgeons opted for the incisions to be made below the breast in the “crease” of the breast or around the areole of the nipple. Nowadays, more and more plastic surgeons are opting to make the incision under your armpit and moving the implant sideways to its proper position. This allows for no visible scarring on your breast at all!
You can expect some severe pain for a few days after you have had your Natrelle silicone implants. Swelling and bruising will continue to happen for several weeks. The pain associated with your surgery can be managed with the aid of pain medications prescribed by your doctor. Your surgeon will suggest that you alternate using ice packs and warm compresses, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, until your pain subsides. If you have small children living with you, it is extremely important not to pick them up for several weeks. Just as in a cesarean section, lifting a child after you have received an incision, runs the risk of rupturing or tearing at your stitches which can cause damage to your recovery process and can open your wound, inviting in infections. Keeping your bandages changed and your incision clean will help you recover quickly and get you back to feeling like yourself again.
