Transumbilical Breast Augmentation: Risks and Considerations
Since all saline filled implants are man-made devices that contain a self-sealing valve, the implants can sometimes leak. This is a very rare situation but if the implants did leak, the body would absorb the saline and since saline is a normal body component there is absolutely no harm done because of this. The implants can be changed through the umbilical approach and are fully guaranteed by the manufacturers for five years. The implants themselves are warranted for life by the manufacturer and if they ever deflate the patient will receive a new implant free.
This technique is a very difficult one to learn because it involves using the technique of endoscopy. Endoscopic surgery involves operating on the subject, not by looking at the tissues themselves but by looking at a television screen. This is different from the standard surgery that most surgeons perform and consequently, involves a whole new way of doing surgery. Once the technique is mastered, however, it is far superior to the standard open surgical techniques because it is more precise and causes much less trauma to the body.
