Types of Breast Implants
Saline Breast Implants
Saline implants feature an outer silicone shell filled with sterile saline solution. They offer excellent safety and can be inserted through smaller incisions. Dr. Lowenstein recommends them for patients with significant existing breast tissue.
Silicone Breast Implants
Modern silicone implants provide a natural look and feel. The newest "gummy" silicone implants offer enhanced cohesivity, mimicking natural breast tissue more closely than previous generations.
Implant Placement Techniques
Submuscular Pocket
Implants placed behind the pectoral muscle offer a more natural appearance and reduced risk of complications. This technique provides excellent muscle coverage and implant support.
Dual Plane Technique
Dr. Lowenstein's preferred method combines submuscular and subglandular placement, creating a natural teardrop breast contour with optimal implant positioning.
