What are Breast Implants?
Breast implants are prosthetic devices that are placed underneath the breast tissue to enhance the size of a woman’s bust line. They are designed to provide permanent, long-lasting results for ladies who have noticed a loss in breast volume due to aging, pregnancy, weight loss, or hormonal changes. Breast implants are also used to help reconstruct a breast that has been fully or partially removed due to cancer.
There are three basic types of breast implants:
- Saline, which are filled with a sterile saltwater solution after being placed in the body, thereby requiring a somewhat smaller incision than with silicone or gummy bear implants. Should saline implants rupture, the saltwater solution can be easily absorbed by the body.
- Silicone, a type filled with a gel-like substance. Silicone breast implants provide a more natural feel, and improved manufacturing techniques also make them safer than ever before.
- Gummy bear, a type filled with a liquid gel that is somewhat thicker than that found in traditional silicone implants. The fact that this gel is thicker allows gummy bear implants to keep their shape for longer.
Benefits of Breast Implants
The benefits of saline breast implants include:
- Less expensive than the other two types
- Generally considered safer
- Making it easier for the surgeon to correct imbalances in size between the two breasts, since they are filled after insertion
- Smaller incisions and a reduced risk of scarring
Silicone implants provide these benefits:
- More natural look and feel
- Decreased risk of rippling being noticed underneath the skin
- Wide range of sizes and projections available
Patients who choose gummy bear implants will notice these benefits:
- Better definition and shape
- Enhanced safety
- Streamlined procedure, since gummy bear implants, do not need to be fitted around a woman’s existing breast tissue
