types of breast implants
Women seek to perform breast augmentation to have bigger and fuller breast. Here, we explain different types of breast augmentation.
1. Saline breast implants
Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water (saline). These implants don’t have normal form. Those who want to have very big and full breast, always seek these implants, because provide a uniform and firmness shape, and are FDA- approved for augmentation in women age 18 or older.
Saline implants are not suitable for those who are thin and have small breast. These implants are less costly than the silicone implants and need small incisions.
2. Silicone implants
Silicone breast implants are filled with a plastic gel (silicone). Those who want to have normal size of the breast, seek these kinds of implant.
Silicone implants need large incisions and are FDA- approved for augmentation in women age 22 or older.
There are 2 types of silicone implants: round and tear drop form.
Both saline and silicone implants come in different sizes and have either smooth or textured shells. Each with their own pros and cons, but you should know real expectation and choose the best one.
