Nothing Lasts Forever:

The pursuit of happiness is a life-long quest and the pursuit of beauty often crosses paths with it. Plastic surgery does the best it can to let these two roads converge smoothly.

The human body is a complex entity, often rejecting or prolonging adaptation of those elements which are foreign to it regardless of the benefits they may have. Breast implants that are made of silicone too face this obstacle more often then not.

While they have been approved for medical use by the Food and Drug Association (FDA), they do have a limited period of use. Carol Ciancutti-Levya, director of an anti-implant documentary states that breast implants may last for less than ten years or for more than ten years.

There are even chances of the implants rupturing over time and changing position, which is why experienced plastic surgeons inform their patients about the complications and risks involved before-hand. Patients are required to sign the documents for a breast surgery only after they fully understand the risks involved.

The two manufacturers of breast implants, Allergan Inc. and Mentor Corp. even offer a 10 year replacement guarantee for breast implants and discharge a part of the surgical fees.

Such precautions and high safety standards are relieving as they give the patient a good idea of what is involved in a breast enhancement procedure. Based upon the warnings and risks involved, they can make a decision.

We can help you if you want an honest and through diagnosis for a breast augmentation surgery. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California follows high standards of service and treatment.
