TYPES OF BREAST IMPLANTS

At The Clinic for Plastic Surgery, Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Sukkar offers two distinct types of breast implants: silicone and saline. Each option comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and he will thoroughly review them with you to determine which selection is in your best interest.

SALINE BREAST IMPLANTS

A very popular choice, saline breast implants are FDA-approved for women who are at least 18 years of age. Filled with sterile saltwater, they are an extremely safe option. If the implant happens to leak in the future, your body can easily absorb the saltwater without any adverse effects. Additionally, saline breast implants are able to produce a very natural look and feel. With that said, saline breast implants do come with some drawbacks. For example, they may reveal ripples more easily than silicone implants, so they aren’t ideal if you don’t possess much breast tissue to hide the implants. This is often the case with thin women, or women who are undergoing a reconstructive procedure.

SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS

Another extremely popular selection among our Houston breast implant patients, silicone breast implants are FDA-approved for women who are 22 years of age or older. They are filled with silicone gel, and they look and feel very much like natural breast tissue. They’re also less likely to ripple when compared to their saline counterpart, ensuring a completely discreet look. One drawback of silicone implants is that their ruptures often go undetected because the silicone gel can escape while the implant maintains its shape. In addition, silicone implants have a heightened risk of capsular contracture, which is a serious breast augmentation complication that requires a corrective surgery.

BREAST IMPLANT SHAPES

The shape of your breast implants is just as important as the type of implant you select, as it will determine how full and natural your chest appears after surgery. For example, teardrop breast implants look most like natural breasts, because they feature a gentle sloping contour. In this way, they produce an extremely discreet final result that never looks artificial. There are also round implants, which offer the most projection, cleavage and fullness – making them ideal for women who want a prominent new chest. Not only can they create soft, round and beautifully proportioned breasts, but they also come in a wide range of sizes and projection options – offering an ideal implant for every woman.
