What Factors Restrict the Demand for Gel Implants?

Additional Surgeries Maintains the Structure of the Implants by Limiting the Sales of Gel Implants

The FDA has warned about the risk associated with gel implants for example in some cases, there could be occurrences of breast implant illness, breast implant-associated-anaplastic large cell lymphoma, breast pain, rupture of gel implants, and further infection.

Breast implants are also not lifetime devices, how long the implant lasts varies from person to person. Complications can also vary, and knowing these factors, it becomes a deciding approach to not opt for breast implants. Often individuals also require additional surgeries to maintain the structure of the implants as these factors are expected to limit sales of gel implants in the forthcoming years.
