In 2007, breast implants were the most popular plastic surgery procedure in Seattle and the entire United States. Seattle women in their twenties often undergo breast augmentation and new moms opt for breast implants as part of the "mommy makeover," a set of procedures designed to restore the body to pre-baby condition.

Saline and silicone breast implants are both available to Seattle women interested in augmenting or balancing breast size. Seattle surgeons may prefer one type of implant over the other, so it's important to learn about all of your options in consultation. Seattle surgeons may offer breast implants from either Allergan, whose saline and silicone breast implants are marketed under the name Natrelle, or Mentor Corporation, whose breast implant products include MemoryGel in a variety of shapes, textures, and sizes.

Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone implants are encased in an outer shell, also comprised 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 only available in fixed sizes.

Saline Breast Implants

Saline implants are encased in 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.

How much do breast implants cost in Seattle?

The RealSelf.com cost map for breast implants in Seattle can give you a snapshot of what other people paid for breast augmentation in your area. Silicone breast implants tend to cost slightly more than saline implants, but recent data suggests that women may prefer the new silicone implants.

Are breast implants safe?

Be are honest with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your goals for the surgery, and choose a surgeon who is experienced and qualified to perform breast implants in Seattle. No surgery is without some level of risk, and your surgeon should explain all of the side effects and possible risks prior to surgery.

The Institute of Medicine has concluded that there is "no definitive evidence linking breast implants to cancer, neurological diseases, neurological problems or other systemic diseases." In 2006, the FDA approved the use of silicone breast implants after the single largest patient study ever conducted, in cooperation with Mentor Corporation.

Tips for finding the right Seattle breast augmentation surgeon

1. Ask your Seattle plastic surgeon, what is your board certification and which professional societies do you belong to?
2. Is the facility where my surgery will take place an accredited facility?
3. What exactly can I expect during and after breast implants surgery?
4. Are there any alternatives to breast implants that I should be aware of?
5. May I see before and after photos of other Seattle patients who have already had breast implants?
6. May I speak to a current patient who has already had breast implants?

Do not commit to breast augmentation with a Seattle doctor or plastic surgeon based solely upon advertising, special pricing, or the referral of another patient before fully researching the background of the surgeon.
