New York Breast Implants

The most important aspect of a breast augmentation or enhancement surgery is the type of breast implant you choose. Your breast implants will determine the size and shape of your new breasts, which you will have to live with for a long time, so the choice of size and type of implant is very important.


Types of Breast Implants

There are two main types of breast implants: saline-filled and silicone-filled. There is a difference in the feel of the breast implants, but similar shapes can be made with both types. For most patients, the silicone gel implant feels more like natural breast tissue than the saline. The complication rate with either type of implant is not significant. There are also various base diameters and projections for either type of implant, which must be individualized for your anatomy.


Silicone implants have a silicone rubber shell that is filled with a fixed amount of silicone gel, and each implant has a patch that covers the manufacturing port of the implant. Silicone implants will vary in shell surface (smooth/textured), shape, profile, volume, shell thickness, and number of shell lumens. Silicone implants tend to have a more natural look and feel than saline implants because silicone gel has a texture that is similar to breast tissue.

Saline implants do have some advantages over silicone implants, including the fact that silicone implant ruptures are harder to detect. When saline implants rupture, they deflate and the results can be seen almost immediately. When silicone implants rupture, the breast often looks and feels the same because the silicone gel may leak into surrounding areas of the breast without a visible difference.
