Breast Implant Post Operation deformity can now be prevented

Recent studies carried out in Australia show that titanium coated breast implants can be used in order to prevent post cosmetic surgery deformities in women. What really happens is that when women go in for the regular silicone gel breast implants their implants are bound to react with the breast tissue. This will make the growth very stiff and painful. Such a procedure is known as capsular contracture. Studies have revealed that a microscopic coating of titanium will help to curb such a type of reaction and help to reduce all those post operation malformation that women face.

So all those women who are contemplating breast implants will now be offered those that are titanium coated. Because the main problem post operation is that the breast tissue reacts to the silicone implants making the enlargement become very hard and painful o bear. A coating of titanium is often used to join false hip joints can prove beneficial to prevent this from happening. About 3000 women all across Australia have been recruited to test this kind of implants. Initially they carried out these tests on more than 80 patients and the results are looking very positive.

The doctors feel that the body will not react so severely if the breast implants are coated wit titanium. About 7% of the patients had suffered from the problem of capsular contracture post operation and that is why this new innovation was found. The now newly available option of breast implants coated with titanium is creating new venues for women who are about to have a breast surgery for the first time in their lives. It is also for all those women who have already previously had breast implant surgeries but are looking out for breast implant replacement or revision. Patients who are not considered suitable for saline implants can also undergo breast implants coated with titanium.
