Breast augmentation is the most popular procedure for women looking to enhance the size or shape of their breasts. During your consultation with your surgeon, you will have the opportunity to compare both saline and silicone implants and make a well-informed decision that best suits your desires. Board-certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides breast augmentation with saline and silicone implants to patients in Dallas, Plano, Texas, and surrounding communities.

Differences Between Saline and Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone breast implants look and feel closer to natural breasts. Saline breast implants typically feel and appear firmer and rounder. The surgical process using either saline or silicone implants is relatively similar, with varying incision sites. Silicone implants are received from the manufacturer already filled with silicone gel and require a larger incision to be placed into the chest during surgery. Saline implants are inserted into the chest empty and filled by the surgeon during the procedure, therefore requiring a smaller incision.

Longevity and Safety

Both silicone and saline implants are expected to be durable and have an estimated longevity of the same duration. Despite the kind of implant used, they will need to be removed or replaced after a certain period. Rupture of implants is rare, but in the event that it does occur, saline implants are the safer option as the solution can be quickly absorbed by the body. In the case of a silicone implant rupture, serious health issues may arise. Rippling and capsular contracture pose the same risk with either implant type but are also less frequent complications.

Women may desire breast augmentation soon after childbirth to rejuvenate their figure to look more like their pre-pregnancy shape. Most women would usually prefer to have breast augmentation done right away, however, there are certain factors and safety steps that must be taken into account before getting the procedure. During your consultation, your surgeon will help you create a timeline that is tailored to your individual needs for your breast augmentation.

Your Breasts After Pregnancy

The breasts swell and stretch as they accumulate fat and produce milk during and after pregnancy. This change in size can cause a droopy, loose appearance of the breasts later on in life.

When Can I Get Breast Implants?

Prior to breast augmentation, you should have finished breast-feeding and your breasts should not be producing milk anymore. If you are wishing to lose a substantial amount of weight, it is recommended to do so before undergoing breast implant surgery. This will ensure that the outcomes of the operation are reliable since the breasts will not continue to change in size.

Consider a Breast Lift

To achieve an aesthetically pleasing outcome, the nipple should be positioned in the center of the breast implant. If the skin surrounding the implant is too loose, the nipple may droop downward too low and a breast lift may be recommended. A sign that you may need a breast lift is if the nipples naturally hang below the natural crease beneath the breast.
