Breast Implants: Know More About Them!

This is a fact that most of us aren't born with quite the body we would have imagined, but thanks to medical advancements that improvements are available. Whether you were born with smaller breasts, your breasts sag thanks to motherhood, or you just want a different size, breast augmentation can make the breast larger and improve the shape of the breast.

Whatever your reason for considering plastic surgery, modern breast augmentation is safe and the process is relatively simple. Breast surgery will help you improve your body image and suddenly you'll feel younger, sexier, and more womanly. It's a great feeling to have that figure you've always dreamed of. If you are considering breast implants, then it can improve the way your body looks and how you feel about your body. Just one cup size can make you feel that much sexier. 


There are two basic types of implants to consider - silicone gel implants and saline filled implants. These are both used and approved, however saline filled implants are the most popular. No matter which type of implant you decide on, you can rest assured both types of implants are safe. So let's look at the two different types of breast implants more closely.

Saline filled implants have been the most commonly used breast implants in Chicago for a very long time. These type of breast implant are made from a semi-permeable silicone elastomer shell that is very tough. There is a single valve on the front of the implant. These are available in either textured or smooth, and you can choose either a contoured or round shape. Since saline breast implants are filled at the time of surgery, you can choose any breast implant size you want.

These may vary in volume, shell surface, shell thickness, their ability to expand, and their shape. These are a great choice if you need to correct a difference in size between your breasts. Balancing your breasts' symmetry is one way that breast augmentation is a great improvement to your confidence.

Silicone gel breast implants have an exterior shell that is made of a solid silicone material like that of the saline filled implant. Just as the name says, these implants are filled with silicone gel. This gel is a semi solid material, and the exterior of the breast implant is smooth or textured.

Some studies are showing that the textured exterior may result in less scar formation, but the downside is that there can be visible wrinkling of the skin and a larger incision is needed because the implants don't insert as easily.

If you've been considering breast implants in Chicago for some time, discuss your options with an experienced plastic surgeon. Breast implants can improve your self-image and give you added confidence that your friends and family will see immediately.
