Introduction

Breast augmentation with implants involves inserting implants into the subglandular or submuscular space through incisions made in the armpit, areola, or inframammary fold, resulting in a fuller chest appearance. The general reference price for breast augmentation with implants ranges from 20,000 to 60,000 yuan per procedure, and noticeable improvement is usually observed within 3 to 6 months. The Suntime implant is also a type of breast implant and is one of the more commonly used materials in breast augmentation.

Breast augmentation with implants involves inserting the implant through the armpit, areola, or inframammary crease into the space beneath the breast tissue or pectoralis major muscle, resulting in a fuller chest appearance. The general reference price for breast augmentation with implants ranges from 20,000 to 60,000 yuan per procedure, with visible improvement typically noticeable within 3 to 6 months. The Sun implant is also a type of implant, belonging to silicone implants, and is one of the more commonly used materials for breast augmentation.

Silicone has excellent biocompatibility, causing relatively minimal immune rejection when implanted in the body. The Sun implant can adapt well to the internal body environment, with a soft texture and certain elasticity. After implantation into the chest, it can create a natural-looking breast shape with a realistic touch sensation. The Sun implant can maintain a full breast appearance without easily deforming.

In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and regular sleep patterns. One should avoid rubbing or squeezing the chest area and ensure adequate rest to aid recovery.

Is the implant made of silicone?

Under normal circumstances, silicone is a commonly used material in implants; however, implant materials can also include expanded materials, hydrogels, and others. Silicone is one of the most common materials used for implants and is widely applied in cosmetic surgeries such as breast augmentation and rhinoplasty. Silicone implants are made of silicone rubber, with an elastomeric silicone rubber shell and filled with silicone gel.

Can a silicone chin implant be left in place permanently without ever needing removal?

Whether silicone chin implants can remain permanently without removal depends on the quality of the silicone material and the postoperative condition. High-quality silicone, which is elastic and resistant to deformation, may be left in place permanently if no discomfort symptoms occur. However, if the material is of poor quality, prone to deformation, or if complications such as infection or discomfort arise after surgery, the implant should be promptly removed to prevent adverse reactions or alterations in chin morphology.

How long after rhinoplasty can revision surgery be performed?

Rhinoplasty involves using materials of different types to augment the nasal bridge, resulting in varying costs and recovery periods. Generally, rhinoplasty with costal cartilage allows for quick recovery, typically requiring 1-2 weeks for healing. In contrast, prosthetic materials such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and silicone have poor integration with the body and may cause rejection reactions, potentially prolonging the recovery period to 1-2 months before healing is complete.

Can the nasal root augmentation with silicone implant recover in 3 months?

Silicone rhinoplasty involves implanting a silicone prosthesis beneath the nasal fascia to elevate the nasal bridge and improve its shape. Whether the radix can recover three months after surgery depends on the individual's constitution and post-operative care. For individuals with good physical condition and proper care, recovery is usually achieved within three months. Conversely, if the individual has a poor constitution or improper post-operative care leading to local infection and inflammation, the recovery time may be delayed, and full recovery may not be guaranteed.
