Breast Implant

There two types of breast implants currently available in the field of plastic surgery: saline breast implants and silicone breast implants. Although both types consist of a silicone shell, they are different in the material used to fill these shells.

Silicone breast implants consist of silicone polymers. Saline breast implants, on the other hand, are an empty pocket that gets placed either above or below the pectoralis muscle. Once the implant is in place, the silicone shell gets filled with a sterile saline solution.

Here are some of the differences between silicone and saline breast implants:

• Some women claim that silicone implants have a more natural feel when presented with the two options. The silicone polymers inside the implant create a gel that resembles human fat, which can make them feel more natural.
• Scarring can be reduced with saline implants due to the fact that the pocket is only filled once it is in place on the chest. It can happen that a plastic surgeon would have to make a larger cut if a bigger sized silicone implant needs to be inserted (because this type is inserted into the body in its full form).
• Saline breast implants are generally less expensive than their silicone counterparts.
• With silicone implants, you will have more options in terms of choosing the shape of the breast before your surgery.
• Saline breast implants are stiffer and rounder (which may not always provide a natural-looking result on smaller women).
• Silicone gel-filled implants are often lighter than saline implants.
