Breast implants are medical devices approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), designed to be inserted through surgery beneath the breast tissue or pectoral muscle to increase breast size. Breast augmentation surgery stands out as one of the most sought-after aesthetic procedures at My Cosmetic Surgery.
There are two main types of FDA-approved breast implants: saline implants and silicone implants. Both types have a silicone outer shell but differ in their internal contents and other characteristics.
Saline implants are filled with sterile saline solution. They are inserted empty and filled with saline once in place. They are suitable for women over 18 years old for breast augmentation and for women of any age for breast reconstruction following breast cancer surgery or trauma.
One of the main advantages of saline implants is their ability to be customized during surgery, adapting to each patient’s specific body contour. Additionally, these implants are certified for safe and effective use in breast augmentation and are generally more affordable compared to silicone implants.
Although some believe silicone implants provide a more natural and soft result, the latest saline implants are also soft and durable. The choice between saline and silicone implants depends on the individual preferences of the patient and the plastic surgeon.
Saline breast augmentation surgery is ideal for patients looking to enhance the appearance and volume of their breasts, especially if they have experienced pregnancy, weight loss, or if they are dissatisfied with their current breast volume. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure.
If you feel dissatisfied with the size or shape of your breasts, saline breast implants may be the right solution for you. For more information on how saline implants can enhance your figure, contact our specialists at My Cosmetic Surgery today.
