Breast Augmentation โ€“ Types of Implants

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries. Choosing to undergo breast augmentation is an exciting prospect with a lot of possibilities, but it is important to educate yourself about the procedure as much as possible in order to realistically gauge your expectations.

Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ryan S. Hoffman and explain your goals and expectations. Depending on your specific needs and your body type, you will generally have a choice between two major types of implantsโ€”saline or silicone. Saline implants are easier to implant, as they are filled after insertion, where silicone implants are said to hold their shape more naturally and don’t pose a much of a risk of rupturing. Discuss your options with the doctor and be honest about your goals.
