More than likely, you’ve been considering breast augmentation surgery for a while, which means that you probably already know that your choice of breast implants is either silicone gel or saline. During your breast augmentation consultation in our Alpharetta or Atlanta office, we will thoroughly explain your options to help you make a more informed decision.
Generally, however, most patients believe that silicone gel implants have a more natural feel. Among other benefits of gel implants is that rippling is not as likely to occur, most come with a lifetime guarantee, and the new gummy bear implants do not leak.
Although silicone gel implants are extremely popular, saline breast implants offer their own advantages. First, because saline implants are not pre-filled, they can be customized while being placed. Second, if your implants do leak or rupture, saline is safely absorbed by your body. Third, and finally, saline implants are slightly less expensive than silicone gel implants.
