Implant Options
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are the most popular choice worldwide, offering a more natural look and feel. These implants consist of a silicone shell filled with highly cohesive silicone gel, providing a realistic breast appearance.
Saline Implants
Saline implants feature a silicone shell filled with sterile saltwater. While more affordable, they may provide a slightly less natural result compared to silicone implants.
Implant Placement Techniques
- Subfascial: Positioned above chest wall muscles
- Subpectoral: Inserted beneath chest muscles
Surgical Procedure
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 45-60 minutes. Surgeons create precise incisions and carefully insert implants into strategically created breast pockets.
Recovery Expectations
Patients can expect initial soreness and swelling for several weeks. Most individuals return to work within one to two weeks, with full recovery taking approximately six weeks.
