What Types of Breast Implants Use Body Fat, Instead of Silicone?

Is it true that this type of surgery is safer for people with allergies to synthetic materials?

A: Using a person's own fat to enlarge the breasts is an intriguing new approach

to breast augmentation, but the technique has not yet gained wide acceptance in the plastic surgery community.  Implants in the United States are filled with saline (by the surgeon at the time of the breast augmentation) or filled with silicone gel by the manufacturer.  There are no implants that are filled with body fat.  Microfat injections using a careful technique to preserve the fat that is harvested from a patient, and then injecting that fat into another area of the body is a commonly accepted technique.  It has been used to fill hollow areas in the face, under scars, and in the breasts following mastectomy and reconstruction to supplement an implant or flap.  The use of fat to primarily augment the breast in place of an implant for cosmetic augmentation has its proponenets, and may prove to be an effective methodology in the coming years.  Be sure to seek the guidance of an experienced breast surgeon who is knowledgeable about this technique before proceeding...

Will I Get Same Look with Silicone As Saline?

Can the same "look" that I am hoping for be achieved in either saline OR silicone? I am wondering because I read of some people who feel that saline looks very round and fake and silicone does not. IS that the case? or does it all depend om anatomy and implant style (moderate or HP) or size (cc)? My BOARD CERTIFIED PS.. with multipal hospital privelages.. has chosen for me 375- 425 cc mod plus mentor silicone gel. final decision will be made in O.R.

A: For many years we were using saline implants exclusively for breast augmentation, and the results

were beautiful and very natural looking.  Although silicone implants are slightly softer and more natural feeling than saline implants, the look is very similar.  In women who have a fair amount of their own breast tissue, and want an augmentation, saline can be a very good choice, especially when placed under the pectoralis muscle.  In these women, the results are very similar and there is nothing wrong with spending half as much for the implants, as saline implants are significantly less expensive than silicone gel implants.   For women starting with little breast tissue and tight skin, or for those women who choose to have the implant placed above the muscle, silicone is a more natural choice.  As with most issues in cosmetic surgery, there is simply no right answer for everyone, and you need to consult with a surgeon is is familiar and comfortable with multiple techniques.

Breast Diameter - Breast Implant Size

I am planning my breast augmentation for a few months time from now. I have been researching every aspect of this procedure. I have chosen to use Mentor textured Silicone implants. Measurements are: Height - 5'6 Weight - 125lbs Chest - 30in Breast Diameters: L 19cm R 20cm My base breast width seems quite a bit larger than the largest mentor implant size. (My current bra size is a 34B). How is this factored in/worked out?

A: The implant diameter is a very important detail

Seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon is the first step in getting the most reliable information available.  The surgeon will then use that knowledge in conjuction with your anatomy to give the best recommendation.  A far as the base width is concerned, the true measurement is not the actual width of your chest from the breast bone to your side but rather the base width of the actual implant that would best fit your chest wall.  You do not want an implant that would be positioned on your chest wall causing too much fullness under your arm. 

As far as the type of implant, let the plastic surgeon give you all the pros and cons before making up your mind.  I would recommend seeing him with an open mind.

Good luck!
