Silicone Gel Breast implants have quickly become the preferred breast implant of choice for most breast augmentation patients according to plastic surgeons.
We recently attended the annual meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. We spent a lot of time interviewing
plastic surgeons from across the country to get their perspective on woman's
breast implant choices. Almost all
plastic surgeons indicated that the majority of their
breast augmentation patients have been electing
silicone gel breast implants over
saline breast implants. One
plastic surgeon estimated that 80% of his patients were opting for
silicone gel.
The reasons women give for choosing
silicone gel breast implants over
saline breast implants include:
- a more natural feel
- less chance of rippling
The reasons women give for choosing saline breast implants include:
- they cost less
- ruptures are easier to detect
