What are the differences between saline and silicone breast implants?

During your visit near Coconut Grove regarding silicone implants, Dr. Mendieta will discuss the different types of breast implants available to you; and upon examination, he will determine the best suited option for your individual case.

Some of the distinguishing factors of the silicone implants include their natural feel and look once placed in the breasts during breast enlargement surgery ("augmentation mammaplasty"). Saline breast implants are filled once placed in the breasts. Dr. Mendieta will use the breast crease incision, which allows enough space to insert the silicone implants. It is important for patients to note that because silicone gel implants are pre-filled, incision locations are limited. When using saline implants, he can make an incision around the nipple, in the armpit, or through the belly button.

Those who are experiencing lack of volume and elasticity, along with sagging of the breasts, may wish to also inquire about breast lift surgery ("mastopexy"). By lifting the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall and removing excess skin, our plastic surgeon can help you regain a more youthful appearance. Dr. Mendieta may recommend combining the two breast surgery procedures in order attain optimal results.
