Implant Options

Saline implants contain sterile saline inside of a silicone shell. They tend to be rounder and are a popular choice. They make a bold statement, so they are not for everyone.

Silicone implants are the other major choice of breast implants. Within this category, there are a variety of options. Silicone implants contain specially formulated silicone inside a silicone shell. Many women like the teardrop shape because it looks more natural. The texture and feel of these implants tend to be more life-like than saline implants. Today’s silicone implants are much safer than older implants because the silicone inside is thick enough that if a hole occurs in the outer shell, the silicone gel filling will rarely leak much.

Gummy Bear implants are one of the newest silicone breast implants available. They offer a textured surface that helps it stay in place. These implants are known for keeping their shape, even if a hole occurs, but the drawback is that the silicone gel in these implants can make them too firm for some women.
