Silicone Gel Breast Implants or Saline Breast Implants for Your Breast Augmentation?
In making decisions about your breast augmentation procedure, one of the most important to consider is whether you should have silicone gel breast implants or saline breast implants. We have included extensive information on our website about both kinds of breast augmentation implants. We also have a quick Q&A page about silicone gel breast implants and saline breast implants. But if you're having trouble sorting out all the information, here is a primer on the two types.
Saline Breast Implants
- Are filled with saline water
- Are good for patients with uneven breasts
- Are good for patients with more breast tissue
- Can be easily inserted with a smaller incision
- Are slightly less expensive
- Have a slightly higher rupture rate
Silicone Gel Breast Implants
- Are filled with silicone gel
- Look and feel more like natural breast tissue
- Are good for patients with less breast tissue
- Are good for patients who currently have wrinkling with the saline breast implants
- Require a longer incision
- Are slightly more expensive
- Have a lower rupture rate
Of course, the best way to learn all you need to know about saline breast implants or silicone gel breast implants and which might be right for your breast augmentation is to schedule a consultation at The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery, helping patients in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. We will answer all your questions and help you make the decision that is best for you. The Austin-Weston Center also serves Reston, Fairfax, Mclean and Great Falls.
