You Have Options

He will provide you with a thorough overview of your options and will explain the factors you need to consider when making your choice. Each one of these factors will affect the overall look and feel of your breast augmentation, so it's important to consider them carefully.
Saline or Silicone Implants?
Both saline and silicone gel breast implants are approved by the FDA for breast augmentation. So, why choose one over the other?
- Many women choose saline implants because, if the implants rupture, the sterile saltwater solution they contain will be harmlessly absorbed by the body. The rupture will be immediately noticeable and thus quickly addressed.
- Silicone is the choice of many women because it can offer a more natural look and feel. The FDA has approved silicone gel implants for women age 22 and older and recommends that women get regular screenings to see if their silicone implants have ruptured (these implants will hold together even if the shell is pierced or torn, so a rupture would not be immediately noticeable).
Texture, Shape and Size
After you've chosen between saline and silicone implants, you'll need to refine your selection a bit further.
- What size would you like your implants to be?
- Should your implants have a smooth or textured shell?
- Would you prefer a round or anatomical (teardrop in shape) implant?
