Non-surgical Breast Shaping with Macrolane™
Macrolane is currently approved for use of volume restoration and shaping of body surfaces.
Many physicians see advantages of using Macrolane for breast shaping as opposed to more invasive
techniques, including;
- Performed under local anaesthetic
- Instant results, tailored to your individual treatment needs
Women who are considering breast shaping with Macrolane will want to be reassured that the implant will not adversely affect the efficiency of future mammograms and/or the breast tissue itself. In one study, mammography after Macrolane injection for breast augmentation was evaluated. It was concluded that mammograms from these patients were easy to evaluate. Furthermore, routine supplementation of mammography with MRI does not appear necessary in patients treated with Macrolane. [see note 1.]
Q-Med, the manufacturer of Macrolane, is committed to continuous research and development and patient safety is a high priority. A number of physicians are currently working with Q-Med as part of this continued commitment.
What is Macrolane™?
Macrolane - the first hyaluronic acid based product for body shaping. It is based on Q-Med's unique and patented NASHA™ technology which has been used to produce beauty enhancement NASHA gels used in over 10 million treatments in over 70 countries worldwide. The safety and effectiveness of NASHA gels have been clinically proven and well documented in facial aesthetics for over 10 years.
What is NASHA™ gel?
NASHA gel is the crystal-clear gel consisting of stabilized hyaluronic acid, produced through Q-Med's patented NASHA technology. Biotechnologically manufactured hyaluronic acid (HA) undergoes a process where less than one percent of the HA is stabilized to form a stable three-dimensional network. The purity and non-animal origin of the HA used as raw material and the stabilization process produces a biologically degradable gel that enables a longer durability in the body and carries a minimal risk of transmission of infectious substances, in particular those of animal origin.
