¿Son diferentes los implantes mamarios redondos o «con forma»?

Implantes de senos redondos o «con forma»

Cuando se contempla la posibilidad de pasar por el bisturí para una cirugía de aumento de senos, por supuesto que hay muchas cosas que considerar. Hay que pensar en todo, desde el tamaño que usted desea hasta el tiempo de recuperación, todo esto puede ser un poco abrumador. Ahora bien, existen opciones para los implantes «con forma». Estos implantes tienen una forma ligeramente diferente a la de los implantes redondos tradicionales y tienen una curva. La forma más común es la de lágrima, ya que pretende imitar la curvatura natural de los senos femeninos. Estos implantes con forma siguen siendo relativamente nuevos en el mundo de la cirugía y tienen forma de gel con la intención de crear un seno de aspecto más natural después de la cirugía. Esto puede parecer atractivo al principio, ya que el objetivo de los implantes mamarios es aumentar el tamaño y, al mismo tiempo, mantener un aspecto más natural. Sin embargo, ¿el hecho de tener un implante «con forma» realmente marca la diferencia con respecto a los implantes redondos tradicionales? Esto puede ser algo importante que las mujeres que contemplan esta cirugía deben considerar. Un estudio ha asumido el reto de responder a esta pregunta para ver si los implantes moldeados hacen una diferencia en la apariencia después de la cirugía.

El Dr. Carlos Rubi del Departamento de Cirugía Plástica del Hospital IMED en Valencia, España, lideró un estudio para mostrar si los implantes mamarios redondos o «con forma» son distinguibles en los pacientes después de la cirugía. El estudio tenía como objetivo abordar si los implantes con forma parecían más naturales que los redondos utilizados tradicionalmente. El estudio pidió a los cirujanos plásticos y a las enfermeras que revisaran las fotografías previas y posteriores a la cirugía de treinta mujeres que habían usado implantes mamarios redondos o «con forma» para su cirugía de aumento mamario. El grupo de mujeres se dividió en partes iguales: la mitad tenía los implantes redondos y la otra mitad los implantes «con forma». Además de la forma de los implantes, las mujeres tenían otras similitudes con respecto a su cirugía. A todas las mujeres se les hizo la cirugía usando implantes de silicona, los implantes se colocaron debajo del músculo llamado subpectoral, y todos tenían un tamaño promedio de implante de alrededor de 300 cc. En la cirugía de aumento de senos, cc significa centímetros cúbicos, lo que significa el volumen de los implantes. El hecho de que todas las mujeres tuvieran estas similitudes hizo que los resultados fueran más comparables para ver si las formas realmente hacían una diferencia notable en la apariencia de los implantes.

Después de las cirugías, los cirujanos y enfermeras del panel del estudio trataron de diferenciar entre las dos formas diferentes de los implantes. En general, tanto los cirujanos como las enfermeras no pudieron distinguir la diferencia entre las formas de los implantes después de la cirugía. La conclusión de la cirugía encontró que no había ninguna diferencia visible en los resultados. Mientras que los cirujanos tendían a diferenciar de forma correcta más veces que las enfermeras, esto puede haber sido en parte a las fotos del antes de las mujeres porque los cirujanos sabrían qué forma sería más comúnmente recomendada para esa mujer. Este estudio podría ser extremadamente útil para avanzar en los desarrollos quirúrgicos ya que las dos opciones de implantes podrían ser confusas para las mujeres que optan por la cirugía de aumento de senos.

Los implantes mamarios con forma pueden parecer una mejor opción porque tienen una forma más «natural», especialmente porque se comercializan como tales. El estudio podría permitir a los cirujanos y a las pacientes potenciales tener más información a medida que deciden que implante es el adecuado para ellas. El estudio encontró que se podrían lograr resultados naturales con cada una de las formas de los implantes. Los implantes en forma de lágrima pueden en realidad llevar consigo algunos otros aspectos negativos, como un mayor costo y una posible rotación de los implantes después de la cirugía. Tal vez las mujeres que están considerando la cirugía quieran saltarse esta opción y optar por los implantes redondos habituales.

With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
