Breast Augmentation with Polytech

In Germany POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics is the only manufacturer of soft tissue implants made of silicone used in plastic surgery. These are German branded products that are known throughout the world for their high precision, efficiency and quality. POLYTECH has been successfully represented on the market for 25 years. The main focus of the company is on breast implants. The implants are produced in Germany at the headquarters in Dieburg. From this headquarters, sales are controlled in over 70 countries around the world. Since the entire production is carried out in Germany, all processes of product development up to quality control, approval management and packaging and delivery can be monitored and controlled. This ensures the highest level of quality.

The extended warranty program for breast implants ensures maximum safety. All participating patients will receive a lifetime guarantee for their replacement implants in the event the shell ruptures. A 10-year warranty is provided in case of hardening, slipping or twisting of breast implants, which are coated with microthane.

Every implant from POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics is almost handmade. Automated mass production is deliberately avoided here. The implant covers are cast using plastic moulds and then vulcanised. All under clean room conditions. Each product is then marked with a serial number located inside the case. Afterwards the shell is filled with silicone by hand. It is always examined for possible errors. Only after this procedure are the implants vulcanised again and their shape stabilised. In order to guarantee the best quality and safety of the implants, they are not only checked after each production step but also at regular intervals by means of mechanical load tests. More than 1,500 different breast implants for aesthetic use are manufactured in Dieburg using this method. The production plan also includes soft tissue implants, for example for contouring the calf muscles, buttocks or the male breast.

As already briefly mentioned, stress tests are also carried out regularly. As part of this, sample strips taken at random from an implant cover are subjected to a so-called tensile test. The sample strips are stretched to at least 450 percent. Then there’s the impact test. Again, an implant is selected at random and tested in a simulated rear-end collision. The impact occurs at 45 km/h. The implant must survive this impact undamaged in order not to fail.

When breast augmentation with silicone implants is performed, the result is achieved by choosing the volume of the inserted implants. For this reason, it is very important to understand the patient’s desire for enlargement not only by the target size of the bra. Rather, it is important to determine the exact desired size for breast augmentation in advance on the basis of pictures, during the consultation, but also by using trial implants, which are given out during the consultation and worn by the patient. To this end, personal conversation and dealing with the different size proportions of silicone implants in front of the mirror are particularly important. For a successful breast augmentation corresponding to the patient’s desired image, the plastic and aesthetic surgeon not only needs a lot of experience, but also sufficient image documentation of his own results. Recognizable faces or data of previous patients are not necessary to demonstrate this. This is how you get a vivid representation of the possible result. The volume is limited, which is useful for breast augmentation by inserting the silicone implant and corresponds to the patient’s wishes. In addition, the choice of implant can be checked during breast augmentation, even in the operating situation. Trial implants are used for this purpose and are discarded after breast augmentation. When using the trial implants, the patient is erected as if they were sitting on a chair. Afterwards the result of the breast enlargement can be seen. If the implants fit well, they are then discarded and the actual permanent silicone implants are inserted. This procedure increases the certainty of reaching the desired size, as discussed with the patient. The extension of the duration of the operation is insignificant here, as it is the result that counts with breast augmentation, not the duration of the operation. We will be also happy to take the time to accomodate your wishes with regards to this.
