Choosing The Best Breast Implants

Possibly the biggest decision you’ll make when considering breast augmentation is the kind of implant you want. There are only two types of breast implants – silicone or saline. Silicone implants are created out of silicone gel.

Contemporary silicone implants are designed to avoid leaking and decrease instances of capsular contracture. The gummy bear implant is a highly cohesive silicone implant that got its name due to its durability and pliability – much like the candy bears. When cut in half the silicone gel stays intact, making gummy bear implants some of the safest breast implants on the market

Saline implants, however, are produced from sterile salt-water. Saline implants are much less expensive but do not feel as natural as silicone implants. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, and Dr. Fiorillo will cover all of your options during your consultation.

Usually, gummy bear implants are suggested for extremely thin individuals. Thinner individuals experience higher risk of rippling in the breast since they have little to no breast tissue. Saline implants, on the other-hand, are generally suggested for individuals who want more fullness within the top section of the breast.
