Breast Implants

Breast implants are silicone rubber sacks filled with saline solution. They are used to enlarge a woman's breast through a procedure called breast augmentation. Breast implants are usually quite successful at making the breasts larger and fuller. The results may not look exactly like “natural” larger breasts; however, they tend to be a bit more round and less saggy than natural breasts of the same size. Most women find these differences to be an improvement to their appearance.

Since there are a variety of breast implant shapes and sizes, your docotor will be able to determine which size implants will achieve your preferred size. Your doctor will also explain the different options available to you, including incision type, location of the implant, type of implant, and whether a breast lift might also be beneficial.

Breast augmentation makes the breasts larger for the life of the implants. Remember also, that larger breasts sag faster than smaller breasts, and augmented breasts do this as well. It is possible that you may require surgery in later years to correct sagging if you choose to have large implants. Gravity, unfortunately has no exceptions.

Breast augmentation consists of making an incision, lifting the breast tissue, creating a pocket in the chest/breast area, and placing an envelope containing a soft, natural feeling implant material underneath. The implants can be placed either under the chest muscle or directly under the breasts. Placement considerations include the anatomy of your breasts, soreness after surgery, exercise activities and interference with mammograms.

Although several implants are available at the present time, the implant being used for nearly all breast augmentation surgeries is made of a silicone rubber sack filled with a saline solution. Under certain conditions, such as reconstructive surgery, silicone gel implants can be used instead. Silicone gel filled implants are only offered on a limited basis, under approved studies, due to questions about silicone implants correlated to autoimmune diseases.
