Plastic surgery statistics reported in 2007 by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons revealed that breast implants were the most popular surgical procedure in America. Breast implants are a popular choice for younger women and new moms, who may feel that their size is too small, or that they have lost too much volume after having children.
Plastic surgeons in Los Angeles typically provide the option of either saline and silicone breast implants. Some Los Angeles plastic surgeons may prefer one type of implant over the other, so it's important to ask questions and learn about the differences at your consultation. Los Angeles surgeons may offer breast implant products from either Mentor Corporation, whose breast implant products include MemoryGel in a variety of shapes, textures, and sizes, or Allergan, whose saline and silicone breast implants are marketed under the name Natrelle.
Saline Breast Implants
Saline implants consist of a silicone rubber shell that is either pre-filled or inflated to the desired size with sterile saline during surgery. Most saline breast implants have a valve that is sealable by the surgeon.
Silicone Breast Implants
Silicone implants have an outer shell, also made of silicone, that is filled with a fixed amount of silicone gel. Silicone implants vary in shell surface (smooth/textured), shape, profile, volume, shell thickness, and number of shell lumens. Silicone gel-filled implants are not adjustable for size.
