What You Should Know About Saline vs Silicone Breast Augmentation

Thursday, September 03, 2009 12:35 PM

The debate over saline vs silicone rages on, so what are the differences? Why choose one over the other?

In 2006, the FDA approved silicone breast implants for use but now, even three years later, the safety stigma surrounding silicone remains. Saline implants are a good solution, but many feel that they don't provide the same aesthetic value. Patients report wrinkling and a globular feeling.

According to a recent study from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), breast augmentation is the number one procedure being performed in the US and about 55% of patients still choose saline over silicone. Dr. Drew Ordon of "The Doctors" most often recommends a silicone implant below the chest muscle.

The Ideal Implant was recently introduced as a hybrid alternative between the two. This implant differs from traditional saline implants by lowering the edges so that it better contours to the chest wall. Internally, there are a series of additional implant shells nested together to control the movement of the saline. The makers believe that it will reduce bouncing and provide support to the edges of the implant to reduce the wrinkling effect.

Only time will tell which of the three will win out, or perhaps they will all be winners and all be players in the future of a market that shows no sign of slowing down.
