What is it?
For many women, breast size is a vital part of feeling comfortable in their bodies and often times dictates how confident they feel when going about their daily lives. Many women, however, aren’t born with the breasts they want and desire an improvement is their size and shape. In such cases, breast augmentation is a useful solution that can provide women with the breast of their dreams.
Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure that’s designed to improve the shape and size of a breast with a silicone or saline implant. One of the biggest decisions you will make regarding the breast augmentation procedure will be what type of implant you will use.
Saline breast implants are filled with salt water. Because of this, it will incur fewer risks if a rupture was to occur. The body simply absorbs the salt water. The implants are inserted into the pocket of the breast empty and will be filled to reach the appropriate size.
Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel. They provide a more natural appearance but are more costly than a saline implant. While the implants are built to prevent issues like rupture, if one does occur the gel would need to be removed.
Implants can be put under or on top of the muscle. Our surgeons will examine you and discuss options during your consultation on what is best for your body and give you the most natural look.
