Breast implants made of saline are filled with sterile salt water. A saline implant will collapse if the implant shell leaks, and the saline will be absorbed and naturally expelled by the body.
Saline breast implants offer a consistent shape, firmness, and feel and are FDA-approved for breast augmentation in women aged 18 and up.
Structured implants are filled with sterile salt water and have an inner structure that helps the implant feel more natural.
Silicone gel is used to fill silicone breast implants. The gel has a texture similar to natural breast tissue. If the implant leaks, the gel may either stay inside the implant shell or escape into the breast implant pocket. A leaking silicone gel implant will not collapse.
If you choose silicone implants, you may need to see your plastic surgeon on a regular basis to ensure that the implants are working properly. An ultrasound or MRI scan can be used to evaluate the condition of breast implants.
Silicone breast implants have been approved by the FDA for augmentation in women aged 22 and up.
Form-stable breast implants are also known as gummy bear breast implants because they retain their shape even when the implant shell is broken.
The silicone gel inside the implant is thicker than in traditional silicone gel implants. These implants are also more durable than traditional implants.
Shaped gummy bear breast implants protrude more at the bottom and taper towards the top. If a shaped implant rotates, it may cause an abnormal appearance of the breast, which will necessitate a separate procedure to correct.
Gummy bear implant placement necessitates a slightly longer incision in the skin.
Round breast implants make the breasts appear fuller than form-stable implants. Options with a higher profile can achieve even more projection.
Because round implants are the same shape all over, they are less likely to rotate out of place.
Smooth breast implants are the most comfortable to wear. They can move in tandem with the breast implant pocket, allowing for more natural movement.
Smooth implants may have visible or palpable rippling under the skin.
Textured breast implants form scar tissue that adheres to the implant, making it less likely for it to move around inside the breast and be repositioned.
Texturing has the advantage of lowering the risk of a tight scar capsule.
Breast implant manufacturers introduce new styles and types of breast implants on a regular basis, so there may be additional options available.
Whether you choose saline or silicone implants, it is critical that you monitor your breast implants and schedule regular checkups with your cosmetic surgeon.
Breast implants are not guaranteed to last a lifetime, and future surgery to replace one or both implants may be required.
Pregnancy, weight loss, and menopause can all have an impact on the appearance of augmented breasts over time.
Breast augmentation necessitates regular examinations of your breasts' health as well as an assessment of the condition of your breast implants.
