Latest In Breast Surgery - Furry-feel Implants:

There’s something interesting happening in Oz-land and a lot of women are avidly following it; that is, women who have their sights set on technologically advanced cosmetic surgery.

The ‘Furry Brazilians’ are the latest offering in cosmetic breast enhancement and have been welcomed effusively by the Australian medical profession. These breast implants are manufactured in Brazil and have been use since the 1960’s by Brazilians as well as Europeans.

A layer of a type of foam called polyurethane is used to coat the furry-feel implants, giving it a soft feel. Polyurethane is a material that is used in manufacturing many medical devices and is considered safe for such use.

Plastic surgeons claim that the use of these foam breast implants can reduce the risk of a complication known as capsular contracture by at least 400 percent. This particular breast enhancement complication is known to affect one in ten women who have a breast augmentation surgery.

The use of the soft, comfortable feeling ‘Furry Brazilians’ may just be the thing to reduce the severe pain caused by capsular contracture. More research pertaining to the efficacy of using polyurethane for breast augmentation on U.S. women is required however.

The FDA has yet to issue a green signal for use of these breast implants, but since the Brazilians, Europeans and now the Australians have demonstrated the usefulness of this material, it might be a matter of time for them to get approved.
