Problems we frequently encounter in Silicone Breast Implant application:
- Implants used for breast enlargement and shaping must be produced in accordance with standards,
transferred and applied under sterile conditions. FDA (Food
and Drug Administration) approval should be sought in determining these standards. The brand of each implant, on which date, where and with which technology it was produced, its volume, shape and surface texture characteristics should be known and recorded by the patient. Although manufacturers have issued some documents indicating these features, most of the time
These documents are not kept regularly by patients.
- The most important problems that may be encountered after the application of silicone breast implants: in the early period
It is bleeding and infection. In the later period, it is seroma, which is characterized by fluid accumulation around the silicone, and capsule contraction, which can sometimes lead to serious problems. Rarely developing spontaneous ruptures
(explosion, tearing of the implant within the tissue) require immediate removal of the implant and cleaning of the tissues
.
- Breast silicones are round and anatomically basic. They are produced in two physical forms. Anatomical implants are preferred on the grounds that they provide a more natural appearance. However, since they have an asymmetrical shape (drop), when they rotate or slide within the tissue, they cause asymmetry
and deformations that are clearly visible from the outside. This problem is not encountered in round prostheses.
- The shell surfaces of silicone breast implants can be smooth or rough. While the rate of capsular contraction is higher in implants with smooth surfaces, implants with rough surfaces adhere better to the tissue, and the risk of capsular contraction is lower. However, in the long term, surface roughness can cause irritation on the tissues and lead to the development of different conditions.
What do New Generation Implants (Chip Implants) promise us?
The most important feature of chip breast implants is that they carry a digital identity on themselves. These microchips located on the implant determine the volume, shape and shell structure of the implant. It carries information including production date, production location
and serial number. Thus, no matter how many years have passed since the surgery, this information can always be accessed through a detector held on the chest. On the other hand, the use of chip
implants also shows that the patient has received FDA-approved implants
with a certain production quality.
Obtaining diagnostic data
Another data obtained with the help of a detector held on the chest is the degree of local body
temperature around the implant. Especially in the early postoperative period, when intra-tissue bleeding or infection is suspected, the presence of local temperature increase obtained with the help of the chip supports early diagnosis. The existence of chip implant technology paves the way for some technological developments in the future. Perhaps it will serve as an early warning system by monitoring different indicators in cases such as rupture of the implant shell, capsule contraction or seroma development.
Depending on the position. changing dynamic form
Another advantage provided by the new generation chip breast implants is the ergonomic form manufactured with the content called 'super gel'.
Ergonomic form breast implants appear as a third option other than round and anatomical form breast implants. Implants in this form are shaped according to the position of the body, for example, they take a drop shape when standing, and become round when lying on their back. Thus, the natural structure of the breast is better imitated.
These outer shells produced with nano technology are extremely reliable in terms of sealing. While the outer surface
has a wavy structure that will adhere better to the surrounding tissue, it has soft transitions that will not cause irritation at the tissue level
Rough but smooth surface

Another important change in the new generation chip breast implants occurs on the outer surface.
In all implants produced to date, the outer shell is manufactured using polyurethane or different materials.
In new generation implants, The content of the implant and the entire outer shell are made of pure and pure silicone using nano technology.
Thanks to this feature; Capsule contraction rate, which is an important problem in breast implant applications, has been reduced by 3 times. As a result, breast aesthetic surgeries will continue to be performed much safer and with lower complication rates with new generation chip breast implants
