The Unique Advantages of B-Lite Lightweight Breast Implants

B-Lite implants represent a significant breakthrough in breast implant technology, offering the same volume and aesthetic appeal as traditional implants while being up to 30% lighter.

This reduced weight minimizes gravitational stress on breast tissue, helping maintain shape and form stability over time.

The key benefits of B-Lite implants include:

  • Reduced gravitational pull: Less strain on breast tissues can minimize sagging over time.
  • Enhanced comfort: Ideal for active women, these implants feel lighter and less intrusive during activities like running and swimming.
  • Natural appearance and feel: The advanced technology ensures a look and texture that closely mimic natural breast tissue.

Durability and strength: Designed to withstand extreme conditions, including pressure changes experienced during flights and diving.

The Technology Behind B-Lite Implants

The innovation of B-Lite lies in its unique composition. The implants combine medical-grade silicone gel with microspheres—tiny hollow spheres permanently bonded within the gel.

This results in a lightweight, cohesive material that retains the strength and aesthetic benefits of traditional implants.

Microspheres, commonly used in various medical procedures, are proven to be safe and resilient. They provide the implant with its lightweight properties without compromising its structure or integrity.

Why have B-Lite implants been of interest to surgeons and patients?

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 1990s we saw the development of quality assurance into manufacturing techniques, more cohesive gels, form stable anatomical implants and the introduction of texturing.  

With the option of a lighter weight implant since 2014, the idea of having less weight dragging within the breast has been an attractive concept to consider.

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

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 Implants?

Long-Term Benefits for Breast Health

Breast tissue behaves much like a rubber band: when stretched excessively, it can lose its elasticity and fail to return to its original shape. Over time, the weight of traditional implants may contribute to this natural aging process. By reducing implant weight, B-Lite minimizes the pull of gravity on the breast tissue, offering a more sustainable and youthful result.

Ideal for an Active Lifestyle

For women who lead active lifestyles, lightweight implants can make a significant difference. The reduced weight minimizes excessive bouncing during physical activities, improving overall comfort. As one patient shared, “I’m a regular runner and didn’t want implants that weigh me down and bounce excessively.”

A Versatile Choice

B-Lite implants are particularly suited for:

  • Women seeking larger volume implants.
  • Those undergoing implant replacement surgery.
  • Women combining augmentation with a breast lift (mastopexy augmentation).

Professional Endorsements

Leading experts in the field have recognized the advantages of B-Lite implants:

  • Philip Turton: “I have found this implant to be highly effective for several groups, including women wanting larger volume implants or those renewing their implants.”
  • The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons: Highlighting the potential influence of implant weight on age-related breast changes.
  • Dr. Kai Uwe Schlaudraff, Geneva: “B-Lite was associated with shorter recovery and return to work times, alongside reduced pain levels when compared to traditional silicone breast implants.”

Addressing Patient Concerns

Temporary Suspension of B-Lite Certificate

In February 2021, Polytech Health and Aesthetics GmbH, the manufacturer of B-Lite implants, announced a temporary suspension of shipments due to the presence of minute quantities of filling material on the surface of some implants during manufacturing.

The company emphasized that this issue posed no safety risks to patients.

Key points:

  • The material found was covered by a veil of cured silicone, ensuring strong adherence to the implant’s surface.
  • Microspheres are widely used in medical procedures and are considered safe.
  • Rigorous testing over a decade has consistently demonstrated the safety and durability of B-Lite implants.

Polytech is working closely with Medical Devices Certification GmbH (MDC) to resolve this matter and resume shipments.

The Technology of B-Lite lightweight breast implants

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

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