There are numerous women who now decide to have breast plastic surgery. One of the dilemmas that women face is the kind of breast implant that would suit them. There are two types of surgeries for enhancing breastforms, saline filled implants and silicone filled implants. Silicone breast implants had made headlines in the past with its safety issues. This makes a lot of women resort to consultation with their surgeons before the plastic surgery. Women often ignore the recent reports released that silicone breast implants are no longer considered a threat. The need for a more natural look makes women choose silicone breastforms rather than saline implants.
Although silicone breastforms have been the news for all the wrong reasons, it has been revealed that it is a superior form of cosmetic surgery. Silicone is biologically inactive and can cause no harm to the body. Saline filled implants are not meant for women below the age of 18. Silicone breastforms are recommended for women above the age of 22. Doctors are of the opinion that the breast tissues of a woman might undergo changes till the age of 22.
Saline filled implants are relatively cheaper as this implant involves the use of sterile saline solution. Silicone implants on the other hand uses a more firm and cohesive gel. The texture stays more firm with the use of silicone breast implants. In case of saline filled implants, the shell is implanted inside the breast through an incision. The incision can be made on the areola, the dark skin surrounding the nipple, or the armpit. The saline solution is then pumped into the shells. For silicone filled implants, shells are pre-filled. Sometimes incisions are also made under the breast fold. Surgeons prefer the incision under the breast fold as it gives them a better control over the position of shell in the breast.
The silicone breast implant can be placed either on the pectoral or chest muscle or underneath it. Placing the implant underneath the pectoral is more common as it gives a more natural look. There are also lesser chances of hardening of the breastforms because of the scare tissues, also known as capsular contracture. Choosing the best type of breast implant also depends on the kind of shape and size desired by a woman. Silicone breast implants can give one a variety of shapes and sizes.

However, the round shape gives the breasts a more natural look. A woman can also have either a smooth surface or a textured surface. Textured silicone breastforms stay in place and also decreases the possibility of hardening breasts. It is advisable to use various implant sizes before one zeros in on the perfect size.
