Considering breast augmentation surgery in Phoenix? Breast implant choice can factor greatly in helping you to achieve the best results for your figure. Board certified Arizona plastic surgeon John Ward, M.D. provides comprehensive, private consultations to any potential patient eager to enhance their appearance with breast surgery.
Primarily, there are two types of breast implants available:
- Saline
- Currently the most frequently used implant in the United States. Saline implants vary in shell surface (i.e. smooth or textured), volume, shell thickness, profile, and shape (round or anatomical). Most implants are filled at the time of surgery. However there are implants available that come pre-filled by the manufacturer, but they are not FDA approved.
- Silicone
- Silicone implants have three layers of shell surrounding the implant, and while this reduces the amount of gel bleed, it does make the shell a bit harder, due to the thickness of the shell. Silicone implants come pre-filled. The only real drawback is that the incision required to insert them must be a bit longer than what would be needed to insert an empty implant.
The choice of implants is an important decision and one that Phoenix cosmetic surgery specialist Dr. Ward will be happy to discuss with you, along with answering any questions you may have regarding any breast augmentation procedure itself.
