Breast implants need lifetime of care: experts

LONDON, England - The Internet and women's magazines are filled with tempting advertisements for breast implant surgery, but experts and regulators have different views on how long they last and potential risks.

The implants currently in the middle of a global health scare comes from the now-defunct French company Poly Prothese Implant (PIP) and seems to have an unusually high rate of rupture. This risk, although generally low, is present in all implants.

Breast implants have been on the market since the early 1960's, after the first implants developed by two plastic surgeons in Texas, in cooperation with the specialized silicone company Dow Corning Corporation.

The first woman to have silicone breast implants in 1962 in the United States. Since then, between 5 and 10 million women worldwide, including approximately 1,500,000 to 2,500,000 in the United States had surgical breast implants.

Although silicone implants is the most natural-looking choice because they are more likely to look and feel like real breasts, safety concerns plagued them for years.

Silicone or saline

In 1992, the U.S. drug regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), decided silicone implants should be removed from the domestic market because their safety has not been fully determined.

However, U.S. sales of silicone implant resumed in 2006 after the FDA approved implants sold by Allergan and Mentor unit of Johnson & Johnson under the condition that the companies will follow a sample of 40,000 women for 10 years to address safety issues.

In Britain, breast enlargement is the most common cosmetic surgery performed on women, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said.

The function is also extremely popular in Latin America. In Brazil, approximately 200,000 to 300,000 breast implant procedures performed every year, according to the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.

Various types of implants are available, including those made from natural tissue taken from other parts of the body. This type of surgery is more common in patients with breast cancer undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

Most common implants used in cosmetic surgery are silicone or saline-filled devices that are placed beneath the breast tissue to enhance the size and enhance shape.

The implants are usually inserted through an incision under the breast, but can also be placed into a cut in the armpit or around the nipple. The surgery is generally done under general anesthesia and lasts up to one-and-a-half hours.

No guarantee lifetime

Experts warn, however, that breast implants are likely to need long term care.

"Breast implants do not last a lifetime, should be replaced sometime in the future," the British Implant Information Society says on its website.

He says modern appliances is likely to last 20 to 25 years, about 10 years longer on average than the older types developed in the early 1960's and 1970's.

In some countries where the implants are very popular among young women - in Venezuela is not uncommon for parents to give surgery to implant teenage daughters as gifts - this may mean a woman who goes back once and possibly twice lifetime for most breast surgery.

Doctors say pain is common after surgery, and most clinics advise patients not to lift their hands above their heads for several weeks after surgery.

The MHRA lists other potential problems such as contamination, leakage or bleeding, can curl and twist of the breast tissue, and temporary loss of sensation.

U.S. regulators warned this year that most women with implants were likely to need additional surgery within 10 years to treat complications such as rupture and leak, two of the main problems associated with devices PIP.

All this shows the cost of breast enhancement surgery is likely to add over the years.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

According to a guide price of U.S. cosmetic surgery, implant surgery with either silicone or saline implants can cost between $ 5,000 and $ 8,000, similar to the cost in Britain.

The so-called "revision" surgery of the breast is often more costly, time consuming and more complicated than the first because of existing scar tissue and the need to remove or adjust the original implants.

Whoever offers significantly lower prices, surgery may be superficial in aftercare or follow-up consultations, experts say, and patients should be careful.
