Lightweight Breast Implants

Surgeon & implants – the key to achieving a beautiful shape, natural feel and lasting results.

The skills of the surgeon need to be combined with the quality of the implants and the right patient characteristics to achieve the desired results.

Over the last fifty years, surgical skills have come a long way but breast implants have evolved more slowly. The first generation implants were in the 1960s and had a high rupture rate. In the 1970s second generation implants failed with more ruptures, or silicone gel bleed where it leaked through the shell of the implant. The third generation devices in the 1980s were a great improvement with a barrier layer to reduce diffusion of silicone through the shell and better more cohesive silicone gels. In the 1990’s we saw the development of quality assurance into manufacturing techniques, more cohesive gels, form stable anatomical implants and the introduction of texturing.  We also now have the option for a lighter weight implant.

B-Lite breast implants are the only lightweight option for augmentation and reconstruction.

Up to 30% lighter!

The implant volume you want, now lighter!
New B-Lite lightweight implants are up to 30% lighter than traditional implants. B-Lite implants reduce gravitational stress on the breast soft-tissue, as well as retaining shape and form stability in the long term.

Why Choose B-Lite

The tissues supporting the breast naturally lose their elasticity over time, making them increasingly susceptible to the relentless force of gravity. More weight results in more stretch.

Breast tissue is similar to a rubber-band – when stretched too much, it doesn’t return to its original shape.

Reducing the weight of the breast implant reduces the pull of gravity on the breast.

New breast implants for the active woman

B-Lite lightweight implants are ideal for women who lead an active lifestyle. Up to 30% lighter than traditional implants, B-Lite lightweight implants reduce gravitational stress on the breast soft-tissue, as well as retain shape and form stability in the long term.

The Technology

B-Lite lightweight breast implants combine well known and clinically proven materials in an innovative way to provide natural fullness, feel and strength with minimal weight.

Microspheres are the magic ingredient. By permanently bonding tiny hollow spheres in the medical grade silicone gel we can make implants up to 30% lighter than the equivalent all-silicone implants.

The microspheres are very strong – they easily withstand pressure experienced during flights and diving.

The Professional Opinion 

“I have found this implant to be highly effective for several groups, including women wanting larger volume implants, or those wanting to have their implants renewed (exchange implant surgery) and also for women who need mastopexy augmentation”

Philip Turton, Specialist Breast and Aesthetic Breast Surgeon

“The weight of the implant may influence the age-related changes that normally take place in breasts.”

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons

B-Lite was associated with shorter recovery and return to work times, alongside reduced pain levels when compared to implantation of traditional silicone breast implants.”
