Each breast augmentation surgeon has his or her preference. Some prefer silicone implants purely for aesthetic reasons. Silicon breast implants tend to have a more natural texture and over all natural look to them. Others are leery of the risks associated with silicone (see below)

Breast Implants from Saline:

There are many benefits to breast implants filled with saline. They are the latest in cosmetic implants for breasts and have some great features such as the chance for the implant to inflated and deflated via a small valve that take away the hassle and pain of a revision surgery, and the pain of more breast surgery cost.

When you select an implant filled with saline you have two choices. The first is an implant that comes in a pre selected shape and size. The second implant comes with a type of valve (that is not noticeable, nor does it effect the look in anyway) that gives the plastic surgeon the ability to inflate the implant while the patient is conscience, which means you can get the size that you are looking for. The other great thing about the valve is if at some point you want bigger or smaller breasts you can have them adjusted in a matter of minutes.

Though complications can arise from these implants they are fewer and further between than silicone. There have been studies and cases where bacteria and mould have been found in the solution, putting the one with implants at risk should the implant leak or rupture. This can cause problem for the repertory system as well as number of nasty complication due to infection. Should a saline implant rupture it is much easier to detect than other implants.

Silicone Implants

The shell (outer layer) of silicone breast implants are made of a rubberized silicone. The implants are made and pre filled to a specific desired size. The implants come in a variety of textures, smoothness, outer shell (harder, softer, thickness etc.) and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Silicone implants unlike their saline counterparts are non adjustable.

Although silicone breast surgery implants have once again been reapproved in by the FDA in America, there is still overwhelming risks evolved when electing to have breast augmentation with silicone implants.

Ruptures in silicon implants are harder to detect and involve and extra cost each year to check them (they are checked using and MRI which can cost several hundred to thousands every year)

When a silicone implants ruptures there may be no physical signs as the silicon leaks into the surrounding breast tissue.

Added risks include: After having silicone breast implants it has been shown that if the women has children and implant has leaked, the child may be severely affected by the toxins in the implant. Unfortunately a child may still be adversely affect even after the breast plastic implants surgeon removes the implants prior to conception as platinum and other toxins are not expelled from the body.

The same high level toxins contained in a womens body after even a small rupture in silicon breast implants can be found in children, both before and after the implants have been removed.
