About breast implants

When you have decided to undergo breast augmentation surgery, you not only need to decide on the type of breast implants you want, but you need to make sure that you are making this decision for yourself and not for anyone else. Having your breasts augmented is a very personal choice and something that you will have to live with for the rest of your life.

How to decide which type of breast implant is the right choice for you

When it comes to deciding which implant is the right choice, women should consider their body shape, frame and lifestyle. It is important to understand that the breast implants offered to patients today are much improved when compared to those used many years ago. There are different implant styles available, including round implants and teardrop-shaped implants. There are also different textures available, which means there are more implant choices available than ever before.

Saline breast implants

This implant choice uses a silicone shell that is filled with saline. The shell is filled to a level that has already been chosen by the patient and then inserted into the body. According to PlasticSurgery.org, saline breast implants provide a uniform shape, firmness and feel and are FDA approved for augmentation in women aged 18 or older.

Silicone breast implants

Silicone implants offer a very natural feel as this type of implant uses a thick silicone gel. This gel provides the firmness many women are looking for when wanting implants and this choice is one that looks and feels just like natural breast tissue. Silicone breast implants are FDA approved for breast augmentation in women who are at least 22 years of age.

"Gummy bear" breast implants

This type of implant offers a lot of firmness, as it is filled with extra thick silicone gel. This implant choice is popular nowadays due to the fact that they are very durable, which means they are less likely to be damaged. If any damage were to occur to this type of implant, it will still hold its shape. Gummy bear implants tend to hold their shape very well and are so-named because they are very firm, just like gummy bears.
