Where do hard breasts after the breast augmentation come from? How to treat this?

Hard breasts are the most commonly found medical complications for those who have breast augmentation. Some people have nice breasts after the augmentation but the breasts become hard after 2-3 years. If they are too hard, they might be a chance of deformation and it must be corrected.
The reason for having hard breasts comes from large size augmentation. In the long term, the breasts will become hardened from too big a size, which stimulates the body to create membrane that wrap around it.
How to prevent/treat/correct hard breasts
Before the surgery: Choose a material that suits your body. It must not be too big. Also, choose mentor silicone and put it under the muscles.
During the surgery: Good technique, less blood loss, and less infection during the surgery can help the breasts to not become hardened.
After the surgery: Take good care of yourself and massage the breasts properly and frequently.

However, this method requires more expertise of the doctor.
2. Inframammary incision: The advantages are that it can be easily done with less pain. However, there is more chance of seeing the scar.

What are the disadvantages of having breasts that are bigger than the structure?

To choose the appropriate size and shape for the breast augmentation, the doctor must rely on the detailed measurements of the previous flesh of breasts, the width, the length of the chest structure, the size of the chest base, and the thickness of the skin and the fat layer, which are different in each person.
The breast augmentation with silicone that is bigger than the body structure causes many disadvantages in the long term, such as:
1. Too heavy silicone can cause the breasts to sag easily.
2. A size that is too big makes the breasts look unnatural and you will feel the material.
3. A size that is too big will stimulate the body to create membranes that will wrap around, which will harden and deform the breasts in the future.
Therefore, if you want to have breast augmentation, consult the doctor for detailed measurements and choose a size that suits your body.

What are the differences between the round/tear-drop/smooth/mentor silicones?

The types of silicone and the materials that are used with the breast augmentation affect the naturalness of the breasts. Textured silicone has a chance to have less membranes than smooth silicone in the long term. The tear-drop silicone will provide more natural shape than the round one.
1. Between the round shape and tear-drop shape, both of them have different advantages and disadvantages. The round shape will have both upper and lower bulge with more upper breasts. If you want to look beautiful in clothes with more breasts, choose the round shape. If you want a more natural look, choose the tear-drop chest.
2. Choose the skin of the silicone: smooth or mentor
The advantages of the smooth skin is that it is cheaper and easier to put in. However, it has more chance of having membranes, which can harden the breasts.
The mentor skin is better than the smooth skin because the mentor skin is made to diffuse the force. Therefore, there is less chance to have membranes and hardened breasts. It looks more natural but the price is higher than the smooth skin.
