The breast implant is a prosthetic insert that adds volume, size and shape to the breast. Typically, there are two types of breast implant: saline and silicone. Each type of implant offers its own set of characteristics. For example, saline implants are available to patients as young as 18 years old, but silicone implants aren’t available until the patient is at least 21 years of age.
To learn more about the breast implant, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Troy Andreasen.
