Today I will talk to you about some secrets of breast augmentation implants in breast augmentation surgery. From hundreds of years ago to the present, breast augmentation surgery has undergone tremendous changes and progress compared with the initial stage of development, both in terms of doctors' surgical techniques and prosthetic materials. Silicone implants, the most common ones on the market today, began to shine as early as around 1961. So, what are some special materials that have been used to fill the chest throughout history?
1889: Paraffin
Paraffin wax used to be a type of breast augmentation implant, but unfortunately, the breast augmentation surgery at that time was unsuccessful and eventually caused the breasts to become hard and the patient was very susceptible to infections.
1920-1960: Various fillings such as ivory, glass, wool, etc
Between 1920 and 1960, there were a wide variety of fillings, including ivory balls, glass balls, wool, bovine cartilage, floor rubber, animal cartilage or foam sponges. These fillers look effective immediately, but after a short time, they are accompanied by a variety of complications, all of which fail.
1961: Silicone prosthesis
This was the year silicone was invented. The world's first silicone breast implant was born. The following year, human experiments were conducted, and fortunately, this time the operation was successful, and more than 50 years later, the silicone implanted breasts still look the same as they did at the beginning. But around 1992, the United States banned silicone because it was concerned about the health risks it had. At this time, the salt water bag was given a "chance".
1964: Salt water bag
In the 90s, saline bag implants became the most widely used breast augmentation implant material for women worldwide. More than a decade ago, it was still popular in China, but due to the natural disadvantages of saline bags, it has now been replaced by mature silicone implants. After nearly ten years of use, the silicone membrane of the saline bag has almost reached the limit of natural aging, and when stimulated by external forces, it may suddenly rupture and collapse the chest. It is recommended that women who have had saline bag breast augmentation do it as early as possible.
2006: Silicone was lifted
In January 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lifted the ban on silicone breast implants, and silicone began to shine again in the history of breast augmentation. Since the lifting of the ban, the development of silicone has been very high, and some good materials have been born in China. These materials come in a wide range of models and have excellent textures, providing a wide range of options for beauty seekers.
From paraffin wax to all kinds of miscellaneous fillers, to saline bags, silicone, etc., the breasts have undergone a variety of implant filling, and now with the continuous development of science and technology, the materials of breast fillers are constantly upgraded, and the operation technology of doctors is also constantly improving, finally so that those who desire beauty can become beautiful more safely!
