Breast Augmentation in Beverly Hills

Types Of Breast Implants

Implants are silicone shells that can be filled with either saline or viscous silicone. Saline and silicone implants weigh approximately the same.
Saline implants are approximately half the cost of their silicone counterparts and allow a range of fill sizes for each implant. This is especially helpful when a patient has asymmetrical breasts and we’re trying to make them more symmetrical. When silicone implants leak/rupture, the fluid gets absorbed by your body without any side effects. However, saline implants run the risk of feeling like a bag of water and having visible rippling, especially in the cleavage area.
Silicone implants usually don’t have problems with rippling and feel much more natural. However, they have their own drawbacks. Silicone implants come in pre-filled sizes, so it is harder to correct breast asymmetry. When they leak, the content could get into the surrounding tissue and lymph nodes and is nearly impossible to remove completely.
