A patient who has breast augmentation surgery should be informed that silicone breast implants do not last forever and that implant rupture can occur, although their incidence is rare. Once an implant has been properly diagnosed as having ruptured, it should be removed and replaced if desired.INTRACAPSULAR BREAST IMPLANT RUPTURE VS EXTRACAPSULAR BREAST IMPLANT RUPTURE

When the cohesive gel extends outside of the scar […]
Many women undergo breast augmentation and a breast lift (mastopexy) at the same time. Breast implants enlarge the size of your bustline while mastopexy rejuvenates your body contour to create a more youthful appearance. However, if you have sagging breasts, did you know that a breast lift isn’t always necessary to achieve the improvement you want? This means that you won’t have the longer scars that a breast lift often involves, which is one of the biggest concerns for women considering the procedure. You will only have the smaller, less noticeable scarring related to breast augmentation. In fact, 95% of […]
Cohesive gel implants are the newest type of silicone implant for breast augmentation. These implants are filled with a thicker type of silicone. When you cut into a cohesive gel implant, nothing oozes out. It is similar to cutting into a gummy-bear or jello.

A mini breast augmentation is not much different from a regular Toronto […]

Breast Musculature
Muscles cover the wall of the chest below the breast, serving to allow for body movement and blood circulation. The breast musculature is made up of four groups of muscles: the pectoralis major, serratus anterior, external oblique and rectus abdominis muscles. The […]
