\"\"<\/a>Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic procedure, with around 300,000 breast augmentation surgeries performed in the United States each year. There are many options when it comes to implants and the way they are inserted, giving you a lot to consider when making your decision.<\/p>\n

Here, we break down the differences between implants and placements<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

Silicone gel implants<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Silicone gel implants feel most like natural breasts. They are made of a silicone outer shell filled with medical-grade silicone gel. These gelatin-like implants are FDA-approved for augmentation in women ages 22 and older. If the implant ruptures, the gel may remain in the shell or some of the silicone gel can leak into the breast pocket. Known as a \u201csilent\u201d rupture, you wouldn\u2019t know that a leak has occurred since there is no collapse of the implant. You will need an MRI scan every two years to make sure<\/p>\n

Saline implants<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

FDA-approved for breast augmentation in women ages 18 and older, saline implants start as empty implant shells that are placed into the breast pocket and filled with sterile saltwater. If the implant ever leaks, it is absorbed by your body and expelled naturally.<\/p>\n

IDEAL IMPLANT\u00ae<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Also filled with saline, this new implant has a natural feel thanks to its internal support structure that controls the movement of saline. If this implant ruptures, it also gets absorbed by the body safely and naturally.<\/p>\n

Choosing implant size<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the aid of a 3D imaging system, you can get a preview of how your body will look with different implant sizes, which will help you make a more confident decision.<\/p>\n

Choosing implant placement<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are two options for breast implant placement: subglandular and submuscular. For women who have significant sagging but don\u2019t want a breast lift, a subglandular placement may be recommended. This is when the implant is placed behind breast tissue in front of the pectoral muscle. The implant is placed firmly behind the chest muscle wall with submuscular placement. This is preferred by plastic surgeons over subglandular as there is less noticeable wrinkling or rippling and the placement is more natural-looking.<\/p>\n
