Historical evolution of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation is a kind of plastic surgery to improve women's figure. Breast augmentation surgery appeared in the 1960 s, and some fillers (such as silica gel) were put in the breast. Since 1960' s, silica gel is often used as breast augmentation material in surgery, because silica gel is not easily rejected by the body, and its texture is similar to human breast tissue, making it feel more natural. From 65438 to the early 1980s, some studies in the United States suspected that silica gel might cause breast cancer, so the American authorities stopped using silica gel and replaced it with a safer saline bag. In case of leakage, salt water will be absorbed by the body and will not affect health. However, the use of saline bags is not necessarily foolproof. /kloc-in the 1990s, when an American woman went to Canada for a holiday, the sudden drop in temperature caused the saline bag on her chest to freeze, which once caused her to have difficulty breathing and suffocate. In addition, in 2007, a woman in Taiwan Province Province was embarrassed because her right chest was stung by a bee and her saline bag was punctured.

Breast augmentation requires cutting a wound and putting a filler in it. Of course, this wound should be hidden so as not to be found. Select the armpit, the areola or the breast as the surgical site. Using a saline bag as a filler can have a smaller wound, because the saline bag will be put into the body before injecting saline. Because breast augmentation is an operation to enlarge the chest in a short time, the skin of the chest will be thinner than normal skin with the support of implants. Therefore, we should be more careful in nursing.
