The cosmetic surgery procedure that increases the size of a woman’s bust is known as breast augmentation. The enlargement is achieved with the use of breast implants that are surgically placed behind a woman’s breasts, either underneath the chest muscle tissue or under the breast tissue itself. Two types of implants are readily available: saline implants or silicone implants. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages which are important to understand as part of planning your surgery.



Saline Breast Implants

This type of implant is also considered to cause fewer problems on the rare occasions when an implant ruptures.

The FDA has also approved silicone breast implants for breast augmentation, and they enjoy some advantages over saline implants. For example, silicone breast implants are lighter weight and therefore more resistant to the normal forces of sagging over the years. Also silicone breast implants have a more natural look and feel.

The type of implant selected for your breast augmentation surgery will be decided by you and your doctor.

But in other countries, such as in Europe, the majority of patients and plastic surgeons choose silicone gel breast implants. It remains to be seen if this will be the case when people seek a cosmetic surgeon.
