There are two main types of breast implants, Saline and Silicone. You may be wondering...just what is the difference? That's where The Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery comes into play. Our resident surgeon, Dr. Bivik Shah can help you decide which implants are the right choice for you. We will take you through the process from start to finish, helping you answer the question, "How Do I Choose the Right Breast Implants?"Before you can choose, you must first know a little bit of information about each type of implant:
Saline Breast Implants
A saline breast implant is made of a silicone shell filled with salt water (saline). The human body is primarily composed of saline. Overall, saline breast implants are considered very safe. Over the past 15 years, saline breast implants have been the primary type of implant used in breast augmentation procedures throughout the world. They have not been shown to cause cancer or any other serious medical conditions.
There are only two main complications that can occur with saline breast implants, they can leak or get very hard (capsular contracture). During your consultation at the Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Shah and his staff will help you understand all aspects of your chosen procedure. Learn more about Saline Breast Implants
Silicone Breast Implants
Silicone breast implants have a silicone shell filled with “cohesive” silicone gel. This gel is neither a liquid nor a solid, it is somewhere in between. Silicone breast implants have now been approved by the FDA following years of thorough research. The Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery has made silicone breast implants available to all patients who are seeking to achieve a more natural look and feel following their breast augmentation surgery.
