Breast Implant Types
If you choose breast augmentation with implants, each implant type has its own pros and cons and will affect the overall cost of your procedure. There are several types of breast implants to choose from, including:
Saline
Implants are filled with sterile salt water. They create breasts with a uniform shape, firmness, and feel.
Structured Saline
It is also filled with sterile salt water. Additionally, these utilize an internal structure to give the breasts a more natural feel.
Silicone
Implants are filled with silicone gel. The overall feel of this material more accurately mimics that of natural breast tissue.
Form-Stable
These implants use an internal structure and are filled with a thicker, more viscous silicone gel. This gives the breast a firmer feel than with traditional implants.
Round
These are also filled with silicone gel. They create a fuller appearance and can achieve more projection of the breasts than other implant types.
Smooth
Silicone implants that provide the softest feel. They can also move with the implant pocket, allowing for more natural movement.
Textured
Implants with a textured surface allow scar tissue to develop and hold the implant more firmly in place.
