Deciding On The Best Implant For Your Breasts

If you’ve been considering larger breasts because you want to enhance your appearance or because you are lacking the self-confidence that you need because of the way that you look, then consider breast augmentation. This is a common plastic surgery procedure that usually doesn’t’ take long to complete. After the surgery, you can typically go home as long as there are no complications and as long as your doctor doesn’t want to observe you after the procedure. Before the surgery, you’ll talk to a breast augmentation Elk Grove Village doctor who can show you images of what you can expect and images of the size of breasts that you might want.

There are a few different types of implants to consider depending on where they are placed and the size of the implant that you want. Saline implants are quite common. When you talk to your breast augmentation Elk Grove Village doctor, you can discuss the benefits of saline implants as they can easily be inserted through a small incision before the saline is injected so that the implants are to the size that you agreed on with your doctor. Silicone implants are popular as well. They are already the size that you want and are inserted through an incision that is a little larger. Keep in mind that saline implants could leak a bit easier than silicone just because of the way that they are filled instead of already being filled before the surgery. However, saline can be absorbed in the body, which means there are usually no side effects if the implant does leak. Talk to your doctor about the type of incision that you want and how important it is for it not to show as this can help in determining the way that the surgery will be performed.
