Choosing Saline Over Silicone Implants
April 22nd, 2009 | by admin |With silicone implants, the process is slightly different than saline implants. Instead of inserting an empty sack into your breast, the implant has already been filled with the silicone and sealed with three separate layers of shell to protect it from any risks of leaking. Be prepared that the size of your incision will be larger than that of a saline implant because the sack is already filled. Your plastic surgeon will insert the implant and position it properly and then will close you back up. The placement of your incision will be in as inconspicuous of a spot to avoid much scarring. There is always a risk of a leak and silicone leaking into your body is not safe at all and will result in the immediate removal of your implant. Major steps have been made to fix the mistakes of the past as far as silicone is concerned and every precaution has been done to ensure a safe transition to larger breasts.
