Elective cosmetic surgeries allow patients to gain a new feeling of self-confidence. One of the most common elective surgeries is breast augmentation. Before undergoing the procedure, it is important to explore the different breast implant options. Knowing the types available aids women in asking their surgeon questions about the various implants and then ultimately choosing their best option.
These are the most common and most well-known implant types. Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel. They can be used for augmentation in women over age 22.
This type of implant is filled with a firm, stable silicone gel. Cohesive gel implants are commonly called “gummy bear” implants. They are thicker than traditional silicone.
Saline implants are filled with sterile saline (salt water) after they are placed. The FDA has approved their use on women ages 18 and over for augmentation. They are seen as a cost-effective choice in augmentation surgery.
The style, shape, and size of implant will vary based on each patient‘s goals and body. Each option has its advantages and drawbacks. During your consultation, you will discuss the various implants with your surgeon and discover what will work best for you.
