When planning for a breast enlargement surgery, there are a few things you should consider and decide before undergoing the procedure. One of the most important - and the biggest - choices you need to make is deciding on the implants type: silicone or saline? In order to make the best decision, it's important to know the characteristics of each and also their differences.
Silicone Implants
Silicone is essentially a gel-like filling that mimics the look and the feel of human breast tissue. Unlike saline implants, silicone isn't naturally found in our body. This can cause serious risks even if a small leak goes unobserved. Ruptured silicone can easily spread to vital parts of the body - for example, lungs - and it can be practically impossible to remove. As a result, you should get an MRI every a couple of years to detect possible leaks. Due to its higher risks, FDA bumped the minimal age of silicon implants uses to 22 years old.
Silicone is highly popular among women - particularly those with thinner breast tissue - seeking the most natural breasts possible. Silicone gel is exceptionally close in texture and consistency of natural breast tissue.
Silicone bags are usually filled before the surgery. As a result, you may need to have a large incision, usually at the lower part of the breast.
Saline Implants
Unlike silicone implants, they are filled with concentrated salt water solution which is very similar to body fluid. They are commonly thought as the safer choice, mainly for their harmless content. If the implant was to rupture or leak, the fluid would spread through your body naturally and rapidly. Also, because the implant is fluid-based, it will deflate noticeably and quickly, allowing you to contact the doctor and correct the issue. In fact, FDA is confident enough with this implant that they set a low age requirement of eighteen years old.
One of the biggest advantages to saline implants is the choice you may make regarding to the incision sites. Saline implants are inflated once they are in proper position, so incisions are usually smaller. Depending on your budget, preferences and surgeon's skill- you may have an incision near the underarm and perhaps under the breast. Talk with the plastic surgeon about this matter.
In regards to how "natural" saline implants make you feel and look, much of that depends upon the woman's size and shape. Slender women with thinner muscle may complain that their breasts feel like water balloons. In addition, if saline implants manage to "ripple", you'll have an unexpected aesthetic problem. There have been a few cases where ripples are noticeable, especially in thinner women. Advances in plastic surgery techniques have allowed for sub-muscular adjustment of saline implants, to boost its "natural" looks.
Whatever your personal preference and budget, it is essential to discuss the best implant type with the plastic surgeon. The surgeon should be able to clear any doubts and answer your questions, while helping you making the best decision possible.
