The Adjustable Gel Implants Spectra

 

The adjustable gel implant represents a totally new concept in breast implant design. It was developed by Dr Becker in 2006.

The implant is essentially a gel implant, the inner lumen may be left empty or filled up to 20% for enhanced projection. This is the first adjustable implant that does not require any saline to be added if necessary and has greater volume flexibility.

Another unique feature is that scalloping is not seen on overexpansion.

Indications

• Breast augmentation
  • For post operative volume and projection adjustment.
  • Assymmetry
  • Mild ptosis correction
  • Enhanced projection
• Augmentation Mastopexy
  • For optimal volume and projection
  • To enhance projection with circum areolar mastopexy
• Revision augmentation
  • Where some expansion is required
• Breast Reconstruction
  • As a second stage replacement following expander removal
  • Immediate one stage reconstruction following skin sparring mastectomy
  • Delayed reconstruction – For enhanced projection
  • Delayed reconstruction where a reduction or augmentation will be done on the opposite breast. Post operative adjustment aids in achievement of asymmetry.
  • Revision reconstruction requiring tissue shaping and symmetry.
• Congenital anomalies
  • Correction of Poland’s syndrome where the final implant is required to be a gel
  • Prevention and Treatment of Capsular Contraction
  • Replacement of Saline implants or gel implants where rippling has been a problem
