Saline implants are the type of implant filled with a sterile saltwater solution.

While silicone implants are filled up with a cohesive silicone gel. According to most people, it looks more natural than a saline implant. Silicone gel-filled implants are suitable for women those who have less natural breast tissue. It poses less risk of a complication called rippling and occurs when the edges of the implant can be seen or felt.

Implant size

The size of implants is certainly a matter of individual preference. Implants are measured in cubic centimeters and cup sizes can be quite varied. You can try on different sizes to see how you might look with different options. Possibly, you may also be a candidate for 3D imaging, where diverse implants can be simulated for you to view.

Implant shape

There are different shapes of implants. Round implants can be smooth or textured and can yield a very natural result. Implants are contoured well to try to mimic the look of a natural breast shape. You may see that they have more volume towards the bottom for a natural appearance.

Type of Incision

You may choose from 2 incision options depending on your personal preferences and choice of implants. The most common type of incision is known as the inframammary incision. This incision will be placed on the inframammary line. It will enable the surgeon to control during surgery and lead to precision for predictable results.  The resulting scar once healed can be concealed beneath clothing.

Surgical procedure
