Five Essential Ways to Maintain Your Breast Implants

Among all the cosmetic surgeries readily available, augmentation mammoplasty or the process of installing artificial implants inside the breasts to enhance their size, texture, and shape, is considered as the most popular. Well, getting done with the said treatment is not enough, as women need to constantly take care of the inserted breast implants to prevent ruptures and leaks. In the following write-up, I have jotted down a few maintenance tips that might help in this case. Readers are requested to buy some time and take a close look at the below-mentioned pointers.





  • It is necessary to massage your breasts daily and perform certain compression exercises. Doing so would repeatedly push the implants to outmost corners of chest pockets and thus alleviate chances of capsular contracture or development scar tissues. Make sure to consult your physician or view authentic tutorials online before indulging in such workout sessions.


  • According to the top-notch medical professionals carrying out breast reconstruction surgery, undertaking examinations such as mammograms or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stand to be an extremely significant part of overall implant maintenance package. Recommended tests and screenings would detect rifts or seepages at the earliest so that necessary measures could be implemented immediately.


  • Wearing proper lingerie after the treatment would allow your implants to last long and effectually prevent sagging. Surgeons ask patients to rely upon clinical bandages for the initial days as that would promote the healing process. Instead of choosing randomly, consider seeking specialized assistance and buy bras only if they fit and could offer the desired comfort.


  • Women, who have gone through breast augmentation surgery lately, must be extremely cautious in case they need to get a dental work done. Consuming antibiotics is considered mandatory because plaque and germs found in gums often enter the bloodstream and target the implants for causing infections.


  • Well-known healthcare specialists performing cosmetic breast surgery have asked women to hold onto a stead weight after an augmentation mammoplasty. Immense fluctuations in weight can cause the newly formed tissues around implants to sag and hamper the overall appearance of your bust. Adhering to a balanced diet and exercising regularly is extremely advantageous.




Keeping the tips stated above in mind would most surely allow your breast implants to retain their functionality for prolonged periods.


Women, who feel that their implants were not inserted properly or are suspicious of leaks and ruptures, must opt for a replacement right away. Suppressing or neglecting the condition would lead to the formation of scar tissues and cause excruciating pain and intense inflammation. The affected breast would have lumps and it would either soften or harden.
