subject: Implants Versus Non-surgical Methods Of Breast Augmentation [print this page] Some persons have the misguided perception that those who go through breast augmentation procedures do it because of vanity. Probably, the assumption was fueled by the much-publicized plastic surgeries undergone by celebrities all over the world. Nonetheless, although it is not motivated by vanity, breast enhancement procedures are being done in a good number of clinics.
In reconstructive surgery, breast enhancement or augmentation procedures play an important role in the following cases where medical intervention is necessary: one breast was partly or totally removed because of cancer; breasts droop; breasts are significantly different in sizes; and breast size is too small that it negatively impacts the well-being of the person.
Not a long time ago, the most common procedure for breast augmentation required the utilization of implants. Breast implants filled with silicone gel and those that are filled with a saline solution are a couple of the common types of breast implants available. Although relatively safe, these breast implants also have side effects. Complications can also happen if the operation was not done by a certified practitioner. Hence, considering that breast implant processes require a form of surgery, the person has to realize the risks and consider the results of the operation.
A breakthrough procedure in breast augmentation was recently revealed, which is an alternative to implants. It was discovered that a substance called hyaluronic acid can be used to augment breast sizes, without the complications and dangers presented by implants.
Hyaluronic acid, which is marketed under numerous brand names such as Macrolane, is actually a naturally occurring material in the human body. It has been observed that even if a large volume of hyaluronic acid was injected in the body, there are no negative side effects. Hence, the substance is a better substitute for breast implants. After a period of time, owing to the biocompatibility of Macrolane, the body can break the substance down naturally so that it can be safely absorbed into human tissue. Therefore, surgical operation is not necessary for the extraction of the hyaluronic acid.
Since there is no surgery involved in breast augmentation procedures using Macrolane, the client can directly go back to doing daily activities; downtime is not needed. Breast enhancement procedures using Macrolane usually take less than an hour. After this, results are immediately visible.
Macrolane is taken to be a very handy material for other procedures. Hence, apart from its use for breast augmentation, Macrolane can also be the filler of choice for post-liposuction concavities, enhancer for the contour of the buttocks, shaper substance for male pectorals, and as corrector for scars. Consult with a highly qualified aesthetic practitioner in order to learn more about the non-invasive contouring method that uses hyaluronic acid.
