- There are many different kinds of breast implants available today, and each one has its benefits and downsides. Dr. Leigh goes over three different types of implants: saline implant, textured surface gel implant, and smooth surface gel implant.
The primary advantages of saline implants are that they are often cheaper than their silicone counterparts and safer if leakage occurs. The filling of a saline implant is a sterile saltwater solution, so in the case of an implant rupture, there is no harm to the body, as the body just reabsorbs this fluid. Rupture is also obvious when it occurs, so there is no need for imaging to monitor the implant. If the implant rupture is noted soon after rupture, the implant can often be exchanged under local anesthesia. The downside, however, is that these implants are more prone to rippling and feel less natural. Saline breast implants are FDA-approved for anyone over the age of 18.
Silicone implants are filled with thick silicone. The silicone in 5th generation silicone implants act more like a solid than a liquid, and are what are termed “form stable” implants. Form stable means that the implant is less prone to rippling, which is important for women who are thin or who have small breasts, to achieve a natural result. Though they generally come at a higher price, they are frequently preferred for their natural look and feel that saline implants cannot match. The downside to silicone implants is the need for monitoring for what is called “silent rupture.” When silicone implants rupture, this is not easily detected on physical exam, even by a plastic surgeon. Therefore, the FDA currently recommends a breast MRI for screening for rupture at 3 years after implantation and then every 2 years thereafter. Silicone used in breast implants is medical grade silicone. FDA studies have shown no statistical increase in breast cancer or connective tissue disorders associated with silicone implant placement or subsequent rupture. However, silicone implant rupture, if left undetected, can result in scar tissue formation called capsular contracture.
Silicone breast implants are FDA-approved for patients over the age of 22. Both types of implants come in varied shapes and sizes that can be customized to meet your needs.
