Understanding Implants

Implants come in all shapes, sizes, and surfaces…

That is why deciding which breast implant is right for you can be a daunting task. Although your surgeon will ultimately help you make this decision it is a good idea to educate yourself on the different types of breast implants available for your breast augmentation surgery.

So, consider this your introduction to the world of breast implant types!

Breast AugmentationTypes of Breast Implants

• Silicone Gel-Filled Implants - These implants are pre-filled with a sticky, thick form of silicone. The FDA has restricted the use of silicone gel implants due to worries about gel leaks, bleeds, and ruptures through the implant. For further information on the risks of these implants visit the FDA.

• Saline Filled Implants - These implants contain sterile salt water. The implant is filled with saline only after it has been inserted in place. A common complaint about saline implants is that they do not look and feel as natural as gel implants. Saline implants also have a higher tendency to leak or deflate; however, this liquid is absorbed into the body without any harm.

Types of Surfaces

• Smooth - The implant surface is smoothly textured like the surface of a balloon. These are the most commonly used implants today.

• Textured - Textured implants are rough, and feel a little like sandpaper. Textured implants were developed because they were thought to eliminate the risk of capsular contracture. This theory has yet to be proven.

Types of Shapes

• Round – These are shaped much like jelly doughnuts, and they are the most commonly used implants during breast augmentation surgery.

• Teardrop – These implants attempt to simulate the natural shape of the breast. Most surgeons tend to dislike these implants because they tend to become round over time, and they may even rotate in the breast. Furthermore, teardrop implants are only textured in surface.

Discuss the various types of implants, as well as the pros and cons of each with your surgeon.
