Silicone or Saline?
When you are considering breast augmentation surgery, there are several important choices to make. These decisions include choosing the right qualified plastic surgeon to perform the surgery and choosing between saline or silicone implants.
According to Dr. Robert Heck, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, when it comes to choosing your breast implants, there is the age old question, “Silicone or Saline?” It ultimately is a personal choice but there are many influencing factors. Some women report that silicone implants are softer and feel more natural, and then there are those women who believe that saline implants are the safest. So let’s delve right into it…
Silicone
Silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive gel. The gel filler holds together uniformly and looks and feels like natural breast tissue. As for the safety concerns, the FDA approved the use of silicone implants for breast augmentation and reconstruction in November 2006.
After reviewing years of research concerning silicone gel-filled breast implants, the Institute of Medicine concluded that the “evidence suggests that diseases, systemic complaints or conditions are no more common in women with breast implants than in women without implants.”
Saline
Saline implants are filled with a salt water solution similar to the fluid that makes up most of the human body. These implants are filled to the desired size during surgery. The incision is slightly smaller for saline implants than for silicone implants because they are not pre-filled.
Both silicone and saline implants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, profiles, and surface textures. All these options will be discussed at the time of your consultation with Dr. Heck. Dr. Heck and his staff will guide you every step of the way to ensure that these decisions are made correctly and tailored specifically for you. We want you to not only be happy with your choice but to have an increase in your confidence with regards to your body and a renewed self esteem.
