If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, then it is important that you understand each of your breast implant options and choose the one that is right for you. Some of the latest technology in breast implants has brought to the market memory gel based devices, also commonly referred to as gummy bear implants, which simply describes their inner core s texture with a term most people are familiar with.



Who is a Good Candidate for Memory Gel Breast Implants?

The best candidates for the new memory gel breast implants are women of at least 22 years of age who are looking to enhance their bust size or those who are in need of reconstructive surgery due to cancer or bust abnormality.

The new devices are not designed for women with an active infection anywhere in their body, those who have cancer, and those who are pregnant or nursing. Additionally, the safety of the new breast implants has not been established for women who have the following medical conditions:

* An Autoimmune disease

* A weakened immune system

* Conditions which interfere with blood clotting or wound healing

* A reduced blood supply to the area

* Those in need of radiation therapies

* Women with a clinical diagnosis of depression, body dysmorphic disorder or an eating disorder.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Memory Gel Devices

The first factor to consider when you are thinking of having breast augmentation is the fact that it is very likely not a one-time surgery. You will likely need additional surgeries over time as your implants can have issues or may need replacement.

The second factor to consider is that the changes made to your body during breast augmentation surgery are generally irreversible. If at some point in the future you choose to have your devices removed and not replaced, you can suffer from unacceptable dimpling, puckering, wrinkling, and other cosmetic changes.

The third factor to consider is that you will need repeated MRI s over your lifetime to check your devices for leaking. This may be a large cost depending on your health insurance coverage at the time.

Another important factor to consider is that bust feeding may be reduced or the ability is completely eliminated due to implants. Additionally, routine screening for cancer, through mammography, will be more difficult and would require more views be taken.
