Breast Implants: Silicone Implants

Breast Implants

If you are thinking about breast implants, you have probably already heard of silicone breast implants. This type of implant has undergone major revisions since the days of lawsuits back in the 1980s. While they were out of usage in the United States for 14 years from 1992 to 2006, silicone continued to be the implant of choice around the world. The major health concerns have been research thoroughly and now the FDA approves. Why would you choose silicone versus saline implants?



There are plenty of reasons women are opting for silicone these days. The first and most obvious advantage is the natural look and feel of this type of implant. Women around the world report that once implanted, silicone looks more like a natural breast and is softer to the touch. Additionally you won't get the sloshing sounds that can sometimes happen with saline implants. Is silcone right for you?



Cost is a major factor that you need to consider. Silicone breast implants are about a thousand dollars more. You also have to remember that the incisions will be slightly larger, about one inch longer in fact. This happens because the silicone implant arrives from the factory pre-filled with silicone. As a result the plastic surgeon requires a larger opening to slip the implant through. If these issues don't cause a problem for you silicone might be right for you. Are you ready for breast augmentation?
