Choosing the right type of implant for your breast augmentation or lift is an important decision, and at Miami Life Plastic Surgery, our expert surgeons are here to guide you every step of the way. Specializing in breast surgeries, our team will help you select the implant that best fits your body type, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle. Let’s dive into the key differences between saline and silicone implants and how they can enhance your results.
Saline Implants
What are they? Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater. They are inserted empty and filled during the surgery, offering unique advantages for certain procedures.
Pros:
- Scarless Breast Augmentation: Saline implants allow for a transaxillary (armpit) incision, resulting in no visible scars on the breasts. This technique is a specialty of Dr. McAdoo at Miami Life Plastic Surgery.
- Safety: In the rare event of a rupture, the body safely absorbs the saltwater.
- Adjustable Sizes: Surgeons can fine-tune the fill level during surgery to achieve precise symmetry.
- Smaller Incisions: Saline implants are inserted deflated, requiring smaller incisions compared to silicone.
Cons:
- Feel: Saline implants tend to feel firmer and less natural than silicone.
- Rippling: They are more prone to visible rippling, particularly in patients with thinner breast tissue.
Silicone Implants
What are they? Silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive gel designed to closely mimic the look and feel of natural breast tissue. They are a popular choice for patients seeking highly customized results.
Pros:
- Tailored Results: Silicone implants come in various profiles, offering more or less projection to suit your desired look. This makes them ideal for patients wanting a fully customized enhancement.
- Natural Feel: The cohesive gel provides a softer, more natural texture and appearance.
- Less Rippling: Silicone implants are less likely to show rippling, even in patients with minimal natural breast tissue.
- Durability: They maintain their shape well over time, offering long-lasting results.
Cons:
- Rupture Detection: A silicone implant rupture may not be immediately noticeable and typically requires imaging (such as an MRI) to confirm.
- Larger Incisions: Since silicone implants are pre-filled, they require slightly larger incisions for placement.
