How I come across this issue? It is because I saw Daphne Iking on Bella Confidential talk show NTV7 a few months ago and she was talking on her topic of breast implantation. Her guess of honor is a surgeon for breast and endocrine at Prince Court Medical Centre; Dr. Ranjit Kaur. I had message a friend and ask her if she knew the doctor and she said yes. She is in the surgical department. My friend had been working there since early year of 2012 and she is a nurse at the very same hospital. I was just double-checking.

The talk show emphasize on women's breast and discuss tons of issues related to breast including breast feeding, breast surgical and many more. There are 4 ladies confessing today in the show which I did not really paid much attention because I was doing something else to while listening to the show. What I've remembered most is that one of the ladies said that she/her friends actually felt regret of doing breast implant as the result she may no longer breast feed her child. Such a waste. I may not yet a mother or be married but I believe that every women have to see and understand this issue since it is related to our health when we are becoming a mother. 

Those ladies also were asking about to make an adjustment for her breast since she is facing sagging problems and complaining that their nipples are kissing the floor. I guess this is what we ladies have to face when we deliver and breast feed our children for sometime. I have done a few search on the internet for this related topic and I was about to understand that women's breast is changing at the time when we are pregnant.

Below are a summary of factors that may change the size of women's breast:
  1. Age.
  2. Athletic.
  3. Pregnancy. 
  4. Menstrual.
  5. Weight. 
  6. Diet and life style.

What is breast implantation?

As being stated in the medical dictionary, breast implantation is defined as a surgical procedure for enlarging the breast. Breast-shaped sacks made of a silicone outer shell and filled with silicone gel or saline (salt water), called implants, are used.   

What is the purpose? 

Breast implantation is usually performed to make normal breasts larger for cosmetic purposes. Sometimes a woman having a breast reconstruction after a mastectomy will need the opposite breast enlarged to make the breasts more symmetric. Breasts that are very unequal in size due to trauma or congenital deformity may also be corrected with an enlargement procedure (Medical Dictionary, 2013).

*mastectomy: the surgical removal of the breast for the treatment or prevention of breast cancer (Medical Dictionary, 2013).

What are the risk may resulted from the surgery? 

Risks which are common to any surgical procedure include bleeding, infection, anesthesia reaction, or unexpected scarring. A breast enlargement may also result in decreased sensation in the breast, or interference with breast-feeding. Implants can also make it more difficult to read and interpret mammograms, possibly delaying breast cancer detection. Also, the implant itself can rupture and leak, or become displaced. A thick scar that normally forms around the implant, called a capsule, can become very hard. This is called capsular contractual, and may result in pain and/or an altered appearance of the breast. The older the implant, the greater the chances that these problems will occur.

There has been intermittent publicity about possible health risks from breast implants. Most concerns have focused on silicone gel-filled implants. As of 1992, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) restricted the use of this type of implant, and ordered further studies. Today only saline-filled implants are used for cosmetic breast surgery. Recent studies have shown no evidence long-term health risks from silicone implants. However, research on the possible links between these implants and autoimmune or connective tissue diseases is continuing. (Sources: Medical Dictionary, 2013) 

There are three types of breast implant used for mammoplasty, breast reconstruction, and breast augmentation procedures (Wikipedia, 2013).
  • Saline implant filled with sterile saline solution.
  • Silicone implant filled with viscous silicone gel.
  • Alternative-composition implant with miscellaneous fillers (e.g. soy oil, polypropylene string, etc.) that are no longer manufactured.

Silicone breast implants were first introduced in 1962. During the 1980s, the popularity of silicone breast implants surged, but so did accounts of their supposed risks. Many people claimed there was a link between ruptured silicone gel implants and a greater risk of immunological disorders (such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other conditions). Some women reported that their symptoms went away after the implants were removed. Some filed lawsuits against implant manufacturers (WebMD, 2013).

In 1992, FDA restricted the use of silicone breast implants to women having reconstruction after surgery for breast cancer. For the next 14 years, women who wanted breast augmentation had to use saline breast implants. In 2006, after reviewing research and finding no connection between silicone implants and disease, the FDA approved the sale of certain silicone breast implants. Now, silicone breast implants have made a big comeback in cosmetic procedures, a little more than six years after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lifted its ban on most use of the devices. Surgeons and patients say silicone implants look and feel more like natural breasts.
