At McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we offer two types of breast implants. Both of these methods are great breast augmentation procedures that can enhance the volume of your breasts. We perform breast augmentation services using saline or silicone implants.
Saline breast implants are breast implants that your provider fills with sterile saline which is salt water. This means that if the implant ruptures inside of your breast, you would simply absorb the saline and naturally dispose of it.
Silicone breast implants use silicone gel. If these implants break, the gel could leak into your breast. You may need to make follow-up appointments to make sure your implants are working properly.
Make sure to be detailed and honest about your medical history to help your provider determine the right type of breast implant for you.
