The implant being located behind the woman's own breast tissue means that she can still nurse an infant, she can self-examine to check for lumps, and she can have mammograms done. With this method, there is less time under anesthesia, less discomfort, less chance of losing the sense of touch in the nipple, and of course no scars around the breast. The result of this type of enlargement looks the same as after the older methods, but without the tell-tale scar on the breast. Because the implant is not touched by any instruments during insertion, the manufacturer's lifetime replacement warranty applies. Not all women are suitable candidates for this method, but most are.
Every procedure has positive aspects and negative aspects.
There are advantages and disadvantages of breast enlargement, which must be considered when deciding whether the procedure is correct for the woman. In addition, patients should be aware that every operation has potential complications, which can occur in a small percentage of patients even in the best of hands.
