[liv]® Breast Augmentation:

Silicone: Implants are filled with silicone gel. If you are looking for an implant that feels more like a natural breast then these may be the choice for you.

Saline: Implants are filled with sterile salt water. A benefit to saline implants is that if leakage occurs the saline water will be absorbed and naturally removed from the body.

Gummy Bear: Implants are filled with a silicone gel that is thicker than the traditional silicone gel implants. The benefit of these implants is that they maintain their shape even when the implant is broken.

What is the difference between breast augmentation and implants?

Breast augmentation refers to the surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the breasts, primarily through the use of implants. The term “breast implants” specifically refers to the medical devices that we insert under your breast tissues or chest muscles to increase breast size. Breast augmentation uses implants to achieve desired breast contours. Breast augmentation is the procedure necessary for breast enhancement, and implants are the mechanism used. Breast augmentation and implants work in synergy to deliver the desired results.

What are the two types of breast augmentation?

There are two main types of breast augmentation: breast implants and fat transfer augmentation. The first involves placing silicone or saline implants to achieve the desired fullness and shape. On the other hand, fat transfer augmentation involves taking fat from other parts of your body and injecting it into your breasts, offering a more natural enhancement and the dual benefit of slimming areas where excess fat is unwanted. Within those two categories, there are multiple different options based on the desired outcome.

What age should you get a breast augmentation?

Breast implants and breast augmentation are ageless. We often see that initial augmentation ages begin in those that are between 20–30 as well as 40–50 after family planning is complete. The right age for you depends on your physical health, emotional readiness, and personal circumstances. You should schedule a consultation with a board-certified breast augmentation surgeon in Boca Raton, like Dr. Ress, to help determine the best timing and approach for your breast augmentation.
