There was a period of time in the US when it was thought silicone breast implants contributed to autoimmune disease and they were taken off the market. After years of study no link was ever proven and they are back available, this gives those women who are considering breast enhancement in Naperville IL two great choices; silicone and saline filled implants.
Because silicone breast implants have been proven safe and are once again an available option does not necessarily mean they are the best choice for every woman, they are not. Silicone and saline filled breast implants both have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, the best way to find out which is best for you of course is to discuss it with the cosmetic surgeon that will perform the implant surgery. The outcome of the discussion will result in using a product which is best suited for the individual.
Saline implants:
As saline implants are slightly firmer than silicone the feel is not as natural, some patients can actually feel the edge of the implant when they manipulate their breast.
There is very little difference in the appearance when breast enhancement in Naperville IL has been carried out using one implant or the other. Although rare there is the slightest chance of a small wrinkle when saline implants are used but this is not something that a patient that is having the implant placed under the pectoral muscle should be the least concerned about or when the patient has sufficient chest tissue to completely cover the new implant.
Saline breast implants are placed in the patient and then they are filled. This approach means that the incision that is necessary to insert the implant can be smaller. Silicone implants may leave a little more of a scar as they are inserted pre-filled and need a slightly larger incision.
Silicone implants:
Silicone implants are softer and feel more natural, very much like a natural breast.
If the surgeon is going to place the implant over the pectoral muscle, silicone is a slightly superior choice as there is less chance of the implant wrinkling or appearing rippled. When the reason for the implant is breast reconstruction post mastectomy rather than breast enhancement in Naperville IL silicone is the better choice as there may be little or no natural breast tissue remaining to cover the implant.
