Board Certified San Diego plastic surgeon and breast augmentation surgery expert Dr. Maurice P. Sherman often answers many questions related to breast augmentation, enlargement, enhancement, reduction, reconstruction, and San Diego breast lift surgery. Often, the most discussed topic in breast augmentation surgery is what type of San Diego breast implants to choose. The popular choices tend to fluctuate between saline and silicone implants.
Most implants have some form of outer silicone rubber shell, but they are filled either with silicone gel, or saline (the same type of salt water which is found in I.V. fluids). Variations of silicone and saline implants usually have to do with whether they are filled before or during the operation. Some types of saline implants can be adjusted even after the operation.
Saline implants, which were officially approved for San Diego breast augmentation surgery by the FDA in 2000, have some advantages and disadvantages over silicone breast implants which were FDA-approved in November, 2006. While all implants have some risk of slipping or rupturing inside the body, some argue whether saline or silicone implants are safer in this type of situation.
Breast implants which are filled with saline are easily detected if they rupture. Since it is filled with liquid, if it breaks the implant deflates, noticeable almost instantaneously, and the salt water inside simply gets absorbed into the surrounding tissues inside the body.
Some San Diego breast enlargement patients say that in terms of the look and feel of the augmented breasts, silicone gel offers a more natural look and feel because it is more similar in texture to breast tissue. However saline implants can be more easily altered after surgery, depending on the needs of the patient. If a woman decides that her saline implants are too big, she can ask her doctor to simply subtract some liquid, via small valves and a long needle. Silicone implants’ size cannot be changed without another operation and a newly made implant.
The best way to determine which San Diego breast enhancement procedure is right for you is to schedule a consultation with a qualified and board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Dr. Sherman practices all forms of aesthetic plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures, serving San Diego, La Jolla, Encinitas, and Del Mar, California.
