Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. It can dramatically enhance a woman’s appearance by adding size or changing the shape of the breast. Having breast implants surgically inserted is the most typical technique used for breast augmentation, and there are quite a few options available.
Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Troy Andreasen to determine the best options for your aesthetic goals. The basic choices for breast implants are between silicone and saline. Saline has historically been the more popular choice, with many patients preferring the reduced incision size and available customization of saline implants.
However, silicone implants have grown in popularity, with more-advanced material becoming readily available. Synthetic materials used for implants, like the “gummy bear” implants, are said to feel more natural and have the added benefit of holding their shape even in the event of shell rupture.
