5 Questions You Have About Silicone Breast Implants Answered By A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Silicone Breast Implants Questions Answered

I have literally performed thousands of breast augmentations since I started working at Perfect Doctors Clinic. After selecting a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon, one of the most crucial decisions my patients make is whether to obtain silicone or saline breast implants. You will also have to make this decision if you are thinking about getting a breast augmentation.

Making a confident choice requires having a basic understanding of your options. I’ve addressed some of my patients’ silicone breast implant FAQs below because I’m one of the few plastic surgeons in the Reading area who does a lot of silicone breast augmentations.

1. Are Silicone Or Saline Implants Better?

Making a general claim about which is “better” in a blog post is extremely difficult because silicone may be better for some patients while saline may be better for others. Nevertheless, the great majority of our Reading breast augmentation patients chose siliconeโ€”and they’re happy they didโ€”because our plastic surgeons think it has more advantages than saline. Here are some explanations:

Silicone implants feel softer and more natural. For women who have less natural breast tissue to cover the implant, saline implants typically feel firmer. This is due to the fact that most surgeons slightly overfill them in order to minimize rippling and/or avoid a “sloshing” sound.

  • Silicone implants typically look more natural. Women with thinner tissues will typically do better with silicone, but patients with more natural tissue to cover the implant edges can achieve a very natural look with saline.
  • Rippling or wrinkling is rarely an issue with silicone. Patients with thinner tissues may have apparent edges and rippling due to the movement of the saltwater in saline implants.
  • Silicone is generally lighter compared to saline in the same size implant.
  • A personalized fit and symmetry are possible since silicone is available in a variety of sizes, forms, and profiles.
  • Both silicone and saline implants have an excellent safety record. Your implants will have a silicone shell in either case. Because of these advantages, silicone is preferred by the majority of patients.

2. Whatโ€™s The Difference Between Silicone And Gummy Bear Implants?

Gummy bear implants are silicone implants; thus, this often asked question is a bit of a deception!

Standard silicone implants, sometimes referred to as just “silicone,” have a softer gel that feels the most natural of all breast implant options. However, the gel is still very thick and will stick to itself; it’s more like Jell-O than jelly. Silicone gel implants are usually spherical to provide a consistent breast look because the softer silicone fill can slide somewhat within the shell. They also employ a smooth shell, which is thought to be the safest.

The silicone used in gummy bear implants, on the other hand, is “form stable.” Even if it is chopped in half, it will maintain its shape in any position. This harder silicone is perfect for anatomically shaped breast implants and has a consistency similar to gummy candy, hence the adorable name. However, gummy bear implants require a textured shell, which is linked to higher complication rates, and produce a firmer breast with little aesthetic benefit. At Perfect Doctors Clinic, we don’t even bother with gummy bear implants because our plastic surgeons can achieve an equally natural lookโ€”and a more natural feelโ€”with silicone gel without these problems.

3. Which Implants Last Longer: Silicone Or Saline?

Although silicone and saline implants are made to last for many years, no breast implant is regarded as a “lifetime device.” Regardless of the type of implant, most women will eventually need to have their breast implants replaced.

You’ll frequently hear that implants should be updated every ten years because the risk of rupture stays extremely low for the first ten years before beginning to rise annually. Actually, even after ten years, you don’t need to replace silicone implants unless you have a problem or want to swap them out for aesthetic reasons.

Nevertheless, there are a few advantages to upgrading your breast implants every ten or so years, and it’s a good idea to see your cosmetic surgeon every few years to make sure everything is still going well. You will first “reset the clock” on your implants, increasing the likelihood that a rupture won’t occur in the first place. Additionally, as breast implant technology is constantly advancing, you can benefit from the newest and best options by periodically replacing your implants.

4. Will I Have To Get MRI Screenings With Silicone Implants?

Patients with silicone implants are currently advised by the FDA to undergo routine MRI screenings three years following breast augmentation surgery and then every two years after that. Why? The very cohesive silicone used in modern silicone gel implants typically maintains its shape even in the event of a shell rupture, while saline will significantly deflate. One of the only methods for precisely identifying a silicone implant shell rupture is an MRI.

It is recommended to replace a ruptured implant, even though it is exceedingly rare for silicone to escape the breast capsule (the natural scar tissue that locks the implant off from the rest of the body) or even the implant shell in the case of gummy bear implants.

5. How Much Do Silicone Breast Implants Cost?

The fact that silicone implants are several hundred dollars more expensive than saline ones is the only minor drawback. For instance, a silicone breast augmentation at Perfect Doctors Clinic starts at AED 25,000 to AED 35,000. However, considering the longer lifespan of breast implants and their more natural appearance and feel, the extra expense is insignificant.
