Choosing to undergo breast augmentation is a significant decision that involves numerous considerations. Among the most critical choices you will make is selecting between silicone and saline implants. At Ultra Aesthetics, Dr. Jarial aims to provide comprehensive information to help you make an informed decision that aligns with your aesthetic goals and lifestyle. Let’s explore the key differences, benefits, and considerations of both silicone and saline implants.
Understanding Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel, a thick, sticky fluid that closely mimics the feel of human fat. Many patients and surgeons prefer silicone implants because they tend to feel more natural compared to saline implants. Here are some important points about silicone implants:
1. Natural Feel: One of the most significant advantages of silicone implants is their ability to mimic the texture of natural breast tissue, making them a popular choice for those seeking a more natural look and feel.
2. Lower Risk of Rippling: Silicone implants generally have a lower risk of visible rippling, which can sometimes occur with saline implants, especially in women with thinner breast tissue.
3. Stability: Silicone gel implants are less likely to deflate or rupture. In the rare event that a rupture does occur, the cohesive gel typically remains within the implant shell or the surrounding tissue.
Exploring Saline Implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. They are inserted empty and then filled once they are in place, which allows for smaller incisions. Here are the key aspects of saline implants:
1. Adjustable Size: Since saline implants are filled after insertion, Dr. Jarial can adjust the size during surgery, offering a high degree of customization to achieve the desired breast size and symmetry.
2. Safety: In the event of a rupture, the saline solution is harmlessly absorbed by the body, and the deflation is immediately noticeable, allowing for prompt removal and replacement.
3. Firmness: Saline implants are generally firmer than silicone implants, which might appeal to some patients but may feel less natural to others.
Making the Best Choice for You
