Silicone prostheses (Siltex) effectively augment ptotic and hypoplastic breasts in women. The submammary dissection approach yielded excellent results with minimal complications, making it a safe and reliable cosmetic surgery option.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science

Context:

  • Breast augmentation is a common cosmetic procedure.
  • Ptotic and hypoplastic breasts present unique surgical challenges.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Siltex silicone prostheses for breast augmentation.
  • To assess complication rates associated with the submammary dissection technique.

Summary:

  • 45 Siltex silicone prostheses were used in 23 women (ages 17-45) for breast augmentation.
  • Submammary dissection resulted in excellent outcomes with only one case of Baker grade III contracture and one instance of high prosthesis placement.
  • No other significant complications were reported.

Impact:

  • The submammary approach with Siltex prostheses demonstrates a low complication rate for breast augmentation.
