The advice is to be very well informed. It’s to find out as much as you can so that you have an idea. There’s so much information available and it’s all readily available for you to read up.

You can look in Human, et cetera. Basically, you have to know what your options are. Besides breast implants, there’s also fat grafting. At least you can make that decision with all these considerations and not hastily so that you will not regret your decisions later.

What is the procedure like for breast implant removal?

Breast implant removal is a simple procedure that can potentially be performed under deep sedation instead of general anaesthesia. The level of complexity depends on if it is a case of symptomatic (leak, capsular contracture etc) removal or asymptomatic (“I just want the implants out”) removal. Another consideration is if you would want fat grafting, breast lifting or even new implants at the same surgical setting.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the 6th generation Motiva breast implants?

Advantages A softer and more adaptable gel, which results in a more natural appearance when standing and lying down, with movement and softness more similar to natural breast tissue. The softer gel makes inserting the implants possible through a smaller incision. A nano-textured surface. This has a finer texture compared to conventional breast implants. This reduces the risk of complications such as seroma, capsular contracture, and BIA-ALCL. The formation of a thin, soft capsule will allow the breast to remain soft over time.
