Types of Breast Implants: Saline or Silicone Gel?
One of the primary decisions to make before this procedure is the type and size of your breast implants. Our practice uses both saline and silicone gel breast implants, giving you the ability to pick the type of implant that will best suit your lifestyle and bring you the cosmetic results you desire.
Silicone gel implants, approved by the FDA in late 2006, tend to feel more natural than saline, and also wrinkle and ripple less frequently than saline implants. We use silicone gel implants in the majority of our breast augmentation patients.
