Breast Implants

• Breast Augmentation
• Breast Lift
• Breast Reduction
• Breast Reconstructions

Women in the United States considering breast implant surgery now have the option of saline-filled or silicone gel-filled breast implants. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved both types of breast implants after determining that each are safe and effective options for women undergoing breast augmentation, reconstruction or revision surgery. Ultimately, it is up to each woman, along with her surgeon, to decide what breast implant option will provide the look and outcome desired from the surgery.

It is important to know that both silicone gel-filled and saline-filled breast implants have an outer covering (shell) made of silicone elastomer (a rubber-like elastic material), and that different types of silicone have been used for years in many other medical devices, including pacemakers, heart valves and artificial joints. Because silicone is used in many life-saving medical devices, it has been studied extensively for decades. In fact, silicone gel-filled breast implants are among the most-studied FDA-approved medical devices in existence.
