Saline Breast Implants
The shell of saline breast implants is made of vulcanized silicone, but the filling material is sterile surgical-grade saline. In most cases, the shell is inserted first and then filled with the sterile saline.
Some of the benefits of saline breast implants include:
— A lower cost than other types of implants
— Smaller incisions and therefore less scarring
— Flexibility in implant inflation and size
— Leaks and ruptures are easily identified
— No requirements for MRI follow up studies
— Lower rates of capsular contracture when placed in the subglandular space
Silicone Breast Implants
Breast implants that use a silicone gel filler come pre-filled from the manufacturer in a variety of sizes, shapes and forms. For a period of time, silicone gel implants were removed from the market due to health concerns and were not considered to be as safe as saline implants. Long term studies were conducted by the implants companies and reviewed by the FDA and deemed safe to use.
Some of the benefits of silicone breast implants include:
— A softer, more natural feel
— Less visibility of the edges or rippling of the skin, which can give away implants
— The typical placement of silicone implants provides for a more natural appearance (tear drop shape)
