Subglandular Saline Versus Gel Silicone Breast Implants

I was set on getting saline implants until I whent to my doctor, I wanted to get saline under my muscle but because of my nipple position my doctor would not do it under the muscle, I am getting 550 cc I am a 34B cup 5'10 and weight 165lb from B/A pic a saline implant would look to fake and water ballon looking, I have decided to go for silicone because I really want a natural looking breast but I am still a little worried about the silicone, would it really make a big difference?

A: Subglandular vs. submuscular implants

I suspect your doctor recommended against submuscular implants because the sagginess of your breasts will make your breasts hang off the implants, very unnatural looking. With breasts that sag a lift is often required to avoid this look. Subglandular implants can look very natural in the right patient and often a lift is not required. Patients need to have thick breast tissue and a silicone gel implant would be recommended for the most natural feel.

Not Possible to Replace Breast Implants After Rupture?

I have 19 yr. old Mentor Replicon Silicone implants that are now ruptured & all the doctors tell me explantation is my only choice but they all 3 have different opinions on if I can get new ones put back in or not. One surgeon says no way & wants to take the old ones out through my nipple & leave me with no new breasts. Another says he can take them out under the breast & put new ones in with no lift. what is the truth, what will I look & feel like?

A: Silicone gel implant replacement after rutpture

I replace ruptured silicone gel implants several times a month and have always been able to put new implants in immediately. There can be significant scarring with capsule formation, calcification and soft tissue granuloma but this does not affect the placement and healing of new implants.

Drains may be required for a few days and there may be more swelling with a little bit longer healing time but patients seem to tolerate it fine. I would remove ruptured gel implants through an incision beneath the breast so no gel in removed through the breast tissue.
