Are You Considering Breast Implants?

Breast implants surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures not only in Australia but around the world. If you have ever considered enhancing the appearance of your breasts, you are not alone! At Refine Clinic in Sydney, breast implants are our most popular procedure among women of all ages. A fuller, rounder bust can not only help you feel more confident in your favourite clothing, but it can also help women who have lost volume due to ageing, pregnancy, weight fluctuations or medical conditions feel feminine and sexy again.

Are there different types of Breast Implants?

As one of the most widely coveted cosmetic surgery procedures, developers are continuously making new improvements on the materials used in implants to help increase their life span, appearance or feel. At Refine Cosmetic Clinic, we offer an extensive variety of breast implants to help suit the needs of all of our patients. Because there are so many different options to choose from, we offer patients a free initial consultation where we answer any questions as plainly as possible to help them understand the best choice for their personal goals.

Breast implants vary in terms of:

Material

Breast implants can typically be split into two different types: saline and silicone implants. There are plenty of different brands, shapes and sizes that fall into these two categories, but this is a comfortable place for new patients who are curious about Sydney breast implants. The principal difference between the two is the filling, as both are in a silicone bag. Saline implants use a saltwater solution that is filled once the implant sack is already in position. Silicone, on the other hand, is a gel-like material that closely resembles human fat. Both have their pros and cons. For example, saline can be easily absorbed by the body in the event of a rupture, whereas silicone cannot. Silicone implants may also require a longer incision. On the other hand, saline implants run the risk of developing a rippling effect.

Placement

Implants are typically placed in front of or behind the pectoral muscles. Each position results in a different appearance, with subpectoral (behind the muscle) implants providing a more natural slope, whereas sub glandular (between the breast tissue and muscle) implants can produce a fuller, rounder result. As with silicone or saline, there are pros and cons to weigh and discuss with your surgeon.

Shape

Depending on your ideal aesthetic and desired result, you can choose from a teardrop or round implant. As the names suggest, this refers to the contour of the implant, and each will produce a different silhouette. While both can deliver a natural appearance, round implants can help women who are seeking to improve upper fullness and create a more dramatic projection. The teardrop shape mimics the natural drop of the breast but can pose a higher risk for asymmetry if they shift out of place.

Texture

Like the material within the shell, the implant itself can be broken down into different categories: macro- and micro-textured implants. Older implants are likely made of macro textures. These have a rough exterior that is believed to help reduce the risk of complications like capsular contraction and implant malposition. Micro implants, on the other hand, offer a newer, more innovative approach, with a smoother texture and a lower risk of seroma, double capsule formation and similar issues. Polyurethane breast implants are another option that you may have heard of, as they offer patients the benefits of implants with a reduced risk of malposition or rotation. The downside of these implants is that they are typically hard to the touch, which can make them stand out as implants.

Choosing the Right Implant For You

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the options – and this is without considering the ideal volume for your figure. Thankfully, you can sit down with one of our highly trained cosmetic surgeons to discuss the various implant choices offered at Refine Clinic. You can work with them to narrow down which is best for you based on your desired results. Some women may strive for a particular cup size, while others may wish to enhance their shape to achieve a special appearance.

To help keep this uniform, we believe testing out the various implant options personally can help to understand the different volumes available. Take the necessary time to consider exactly what you want, and try different sizes and textures to see which feels best to you. We strive to offer highly customised procedures to ensure you get the best results possible. For some patients, this may mean mixing different volumes in each breast or testing more than one option before making a final decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Procedure Performed?

There are many different ways a qualified surgeon can perform breast augmentation with implants. During your consultation, you will be able to discuss the various options so you can weigh the risk and benefits of each. The most common techniques are:

● Transaxillary: The incision for this technique is made in your armpit, which your surgeon may recommend if you scar easily or develop keloids post-surgery. This option is only available for patients opting for round implants, as well, as teardrops require strategic placement.

● Inframammary: This method allows the most optimal approach, as your surgeon has the most direct path. The incision is made under the breast or along the breast fold. While this is the most conspicuous location, the doctor will take careful measures to help reduce visible scarring. The majority of breast implants are inserted using the inframammary technique.

● Periareolar: This is another method that helps to camouflage the incision along the natural contours of the breast. The incision is made around the aerola to ensure maximum concealment. This procedure is only appropriate for smaller implant sizes, so it may not be suitable for everyone. Additionally, you have a higher risk of losing sensitivity in the area.

● Transumbilical: This incision technique is much less conventional than its counterparts, as it requires going through the belly button. As such, it is only suitable for saline implants, which are inserted empty and then filled with the desired volume.

How Long Is the Recovery Period?
A breast implant surgery is an in-depth procedure that involves anaesthesia, so it is recommended that you arrange for someone to meet you after. You should take it easy for the first two or three days after the surgery, but most patients feel well enough to return to work by this time. Strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, running or bending should be avoided for up to a few months while your stitches heal. The doctor will give you a post-surgery compression garment that you will need to wear continuously for several weeks after the surgery. The bruising and swelling around your breast may take a while to subside as the tissue adjusts to the new implants. You will be prescribed pain medication to help manage any discomfort during this time. Your surgeon will advise of any helpful notes to promote a speedy recovery.
When Will I See Results after getting Breast implants?
The exact recovery period for each patient will vary, as everyone heals differently. Breast implants procedure often take a bit longer for results to become visible. As the tissue surrounding your implants adjusts to this new device, there is slight inflammation in the area. Once this subsides, you can see the final outcome of your implant surgery. Most patients will begin to see results a month or so after the surgery. A post-operative appointment will be scheduled to see how you are healing.
Can I Change or Remove My Implants?
If you realise that you are unhappy with the results of your breast implant surgery, there are options you can consider! Some women opt to have their implants removed, due to medical reasons or aesthetic reasons. At Refine Clinic, we offer breast implant removal procedures. In many cases, patients opt to combine this with a lift or a fat transfer to trim away loose skin that may not regain its elasticity.

Patients may also want to have their current pair of implants switched out. Reasons may include wanting to change the size, shape or material of their implants. Changes in weight, for example, can cause the results of your implant surgery to change over time, and you may decide to reduce or increase the volume of your current set. In other cases, a patient’s implants may have shifted or developed a complication and require revision surgery.

Are Implants Permanent?
While the placement of implants is permanent, most sets will need to be replaced somewhere down the line. This type of surgery is more commonly performed on patients who have implants made with less durable materials. Thanks to innovative new technologies, more advanced implant brands and styles can remain intact longer. Our cosmetic surgery team provides in breast enhancement procedures and works diligently to use long-lasting methods, but some patients may benefit from an implant replacement in 10 to 20 years.
What are "Dual-Plane" Implants?
Every breast implant procedure at Refine Cosmetic Clinic is treated individually to ensure outstanding results are achieved for your unique body type. Dual-plane implants refer to a placement technique where the implant is placed partly behind the muscle, but not entirely. The result can be ideal for women who are experiencing the early signs of sagging but not enough to merit a breast lift. Women with thinner skin towards the top of their breasts may also benefit from this positioning, as it helps to avoid the appearance of a noticeable bump or “step” where the chest begins to curve. This type of technique should only be approached by a highly trained surgery professional, as it requires an experienced hand.
Can I Combine Breast Implants with Another Procedure?
Absolutely! For some women, breast implants alone may not be enough to help achieve a rounder lift in their bust. If you are happy with the current placement of your breasts, you may be able to meet your desired size with an implant alone. However, older women, mothers who have breastfed and patients who have experienced weight changes may get better results from a breast augmentation and lift procedure. During your consultation at our conveniently located Sydney clinic, you can discuss the most suitable course of action for your breast type and the price a breast implant surgery in Sydney!
What Are the Risks Associated with Breast Implants?

It is important to remember that every surgery has associated risks that you should fully reflect on before moving forward. If you have any questions about any of the following risks, do not hesitate to bring them up during your consultation with one of our surgeons. Aside from shifting, rupturing or rotation out of place, here are some potential risks to consider:

● Capsular Contracture. When an unknown device is placed in the body, a type of scar tissue forms a capsule around the object. With breast implants, this helps to ensure the implants remain in place and help prevent infection. However, in some cases, the patient’s body will continue to produce this scar tissue, until it eventually begins constricting the implant. This condition can cause hardness, changes in the shape of your breast, or pain. A breast implant revision can help to correct this.

● Mammograms. A potential risk of breast implant surgery is the interference it may pose during breast cancer screening. Since a mammogram requires the breast to be squeezed, it risks rupturing your implant. Be sure to disclose this information before undergoing a cancer screening so your technician can employ special techniques to reduce this risk.

● Calcium deposits. Speaking of cancer screenings, some patients may develop calcium deposit around their implants, which will appear on during a mammogram. While these are not dangerous, they can often be mistaken for breast cancer and may need to be surgically removed to rule out any possibility.

● Infection. This is a possible risk with any surgery, and it is thankfully uncommon when performed by a highly trained surgeon, like those on staff at Refine Clinic. If an infection does occur, antibiotics may help. However, you may need to have surgery to remove the implant. Once the infection is gone, you can have replacement surgery.

● Haematoma. While the odds of a breast implant patients developing a haematoma is increasingly slim, it is worth mentioning so you can discuss it with your surgeon. If the rare event this happens, our surgeons may be able to remove them carefully if it develops during the procedure.

Can I Breastfeed with Breast Implants?
No medical evidence suggests breast implants will impair your ability to breastfeed. However, if you have plans to do so in the future, advise your surgeon so you can take the best route to help ensure you can breastfeed.
Will I Lose Sensation in My Breasts?
There is a slight risk that you may experience some changes in sensation or numbness in your nipples or around the breasts. This is especially common within the first year following surgery, but most women report this is not permanent. Only 5 – 10% of women who have this type of implant surgery report losing some or all feeling in their breasts.
