Which implants to choose for active women?

German precision and innovation have produced two top-quality alternatives: lightweight implants and implants with a micropolyurethane surface, which are synonymous with quality and long-term satisfaction. They promote comfort, but also ensure lower possible post-operative complications and that your every day is full of movement, without restrictions and with a feeling of perfect harmony of body and spirit.

LIGHTWEIGHT IMPLANTS: RUN WITHOUT UNNECESSARY STRAIN

In recent years, there has been a major shift in breast implant technology. After decades of stagnation, lightweight implants are now available and represent a revolutionary step forward for women leading an active lifestyle. These implants are made of the same cohesive gel as traditional silicone implants, but with the addition of microspheres (microscopic air bubbles), they are 30% lighter. This innovation reduces the physical strain on the body, which is crucial for women who engage in running, yoga, fitness or other physical activities.

The lighter weight of these implants not only brings better comfort when playing sports, but also helps minimize the strain on scar and breast tissue. The reduced load can significantly minimize the risk of post-operative complications such as capsular contracture, a benefit that conventional, heavier implants cannot offer. The 300 ml lightweight implants have the same tissue load, i.e. the effect on breast gravity, as a conventional 145 ml implant. This is why lightweight implants are chosen for women who want to improve their appearance and maintain their active and comfortable lifestyle.

GUARANTEE FOR IMPLANT REPOSITIONING

Every active woman should follow the warranty terms of each implant. Especially if she wants natural results and selects an anatomical shape together with our surgeon, she should consider choosing a micropolyurethane treatment. This provides a lifetime warranty not only against rupture, capsular contracture, but most importantly against implant overturning.

And why is this surface suitable for active women?

''The micropolyurethane implant stays in place after augmentation, it does not fall and does not rotate (which is especially important for anatomical implants). The tissue and the foam surface of the implant stick together, thanks to a Velcro-like effect. The breasts thus resist gravity in the long term. The implant surface is absorbent and can hold up to 35 ml of antibacterial solution, thus eliminating the risk of post-operative infection to a minimum. Another great feature for the surgeon is that the polyurethane foam is hemostatic (stops bleeding), so bleeding is less common after the procedure. A minor drawback may seem to be their longer lasting softening. In some clients, they remain firm for about 4-6 months. However, this is not always the case. It also depends on the client's own foundation," explains breast augmentation expert Petros Christodoulou, MD, of Medicom Clinic.
