Types of Breast Implants
Silicone Breast Implants
FDA-approved for patients 22 and older, silicone breast implants feature a silicone outer shell filled with medical-grade silicone gel. These implants provide an exceptionally natural look and feel, particularly beneficial for women with minimal body fat or undergoing breast reconstruction.
Saline Breast Implants
FDA-approved for patients over 18, saline implants consist of a silicone outer shell filled with sterile saltwater solution. Their unique filling method allows for smaller incisions and precise volume adjustments during surgical placement.
