Thigh augmentation: submuscular placement of a silicone gel-filled prosthesis.
The development of silicone prostheses for augmentation of the calf and buttocks has led a small number of our patients to consider the use of implants for aesthetic thigh augmentation. In this article, we report a new thigh augmentation technique using submuscular placement of silicone gel-filled implants. Fresh cadaver dissections were performed to measure the space between the gracilis muscl...
متن کاملBreast augmentation: Part I--A review of the silicone prosthesis.
The present importance of breast augmentation (BA) is shown by year-on-year increases: with 8439 augmentations performed by BAAPS members in 2007 the UK still lags America where 307,000 were performed. Having survived an almost hysterical media reaction to perceived silicone health risks in the 1990s, a growing body of evidence attests to the demonstrable benefits of BA. Improved implant design...
متن کاملManagement of Testicular Silicone Gel-Filled Prosthesis Rupture: Case Report of a Rare Event and a Review of the Literature
Introduction. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of a single testicular prosthesis in a patient who had undergone bilateral orchiectomy and silicone gel-filled prosthesis insertion. The consequences of this rare event are discussed. There is no management algorithm. Case Presentation. A 55-year-old man presented to our outpatient department with altered consistency in his right testicular ...
متن کاملTextured-surface saline-filled silicone breast implants for augmentation mammaplasty.
The earliest silicone breast implants were smooth-surface, silicone rubber devices filled with either silicone gel or saline. Because of persistent problems with capsular contracture, polyurethane-covered silicone implants were developed as an alternative. Particularly in the short run, these alternatives proved highly successful at reducing the incidence of capsular contracture. By 1990, polyu...
متن کاملImpact of Silicone gel breast prosthesis on photon beam therapy of recurrence carcinoma post mastectomy
AbstractIntroduction Silicone gel breast implants are used for breast reconstruction post mastectomy. In the event of cancer recurrence, the radiation oncologists are forced to irradiate through the prosthesis device. Due to prosthesis higher atomic number dose perturbations occur during treatment. This study determined the influence of silicone gel thickness on the photon beam distribution. Ma...
