Saline, not Silicone

Saline and silicone implants both have advantages, and both types of implants can and do produce excellent breast augmentation results. Because of current FDA restrictions, for most women having breast augmentation, saline implants are the only option. Silicone implants can be used for reconstructive purposes during augmentation procedures — if you have had previous breast reconstruction or a chest wall deformity, if there's a large difference in your breast sizes, or if you also need a breast lift at the same time.

Saline implants
Before it's placed in a breast, a saline implant essentially feels like a plastic sandwich bag filled with water. It's constructed of an outer shell of several layers of silicone rubber that includes a valve. Saline implants are usually filled to their final size by a disposable tube that runs from a bag of saline to the implant within the breast cavity. When the tube is withdrawn, the valve seals automatically, and a small additional sealing tip attached to the implant is inserted into the top of the valve.

Implants come in various sizes ranging from 150cc (cubic centimeters) to approximately 700cc. The smaller sizes, from 150cc to 400cc are available in 25 to 30cc size increments. Above 400cc, the increments are 50cc.


Here are some facts about saline implants:

Cost: Saline implants are about half as expensive as silicone gel implants.
Feel: Saline implants can be somewhat less soft and feel less natural than silicone gel implants. The best results with saline implants, however, are comparable to the best results with silicone gel implants.
Volume: Saline implants enable surgeons to microadjust the volume in each implant. When the initial breast size isn't the same on each side, the surgeon can microadjust volume to balance the two sides.
Wrinkling: In many augmented breasts, saline implants can be felt at the bottom or along the lower sides as an edge or as slight wrinkles. This effect is normal.
Silicone gel implants
Silicone gel implants have a shell made of several layers of silicone rubber. In prior generations of silicone implants, the wall or covering of the implants was weaker and more porous. The silicone within the implants was runnier, and small amounts of the silicone would bleed through the implant walls. The silicone now used in gel implants is semi-solid (non-runny and less likely to migrate). Reduced silicone bleed has probably resulted in reduced capsule formation.

Here are some other important facts about silicone gel implants:

Cost: Silicone gel implants cost about twice as much as saline implants, a problem if the cost of surgery is an issue to you.
Feel: Silicone gel implants feel softer and more natural than saline implants.
Wrinkling: If capsule formation does occur, silicone gel implants can develop wrinkling. In general, however, silicone implants don't develop the edge wrinkling that is common with saline implants.
Volume: No microadjustment in volume of the implants can be made. The implants are completely sealed. From the smallest size available up to 400cc, the implants come in 25 to 30cc size differences. Above 400cc, the different sizes vary by 50cc. This has one small disadvantage in that most breasts normally vary in size, from one side to the other. If size variations can't be corrected in 25 to 50cc increments, some slight asymmetry in breast size will remain.
Other implant options
Although 85 percent of breast augmentations are performed with smooth round saline implants, some other types of implants are also being used. These are

Textured implants have a rough outer covering. In the past ten or more years, when there was a high rate of capsule formation, surgeons felt that texturing the implant surface reduced the incidence of capsule formation. Textured implants are available in round shapes, but are also available in anatomic, or teardrop, shapes.
Most plastic surgeons have abandoned textured implants because they are perceived by many to cause increased rippling and a higher incidence of capsules and consequently are much easier to feel than the newest smooth, round saline implants.
High-profile implants allow you to have more volume in a narrower base width. Many surgeons use breast measurements to determine the maximum width of breast implant that can be used on a patient without causing distortion. If a small woman with small breasts and a narrow chest wall wishes to be a C or D cup size, the appropriate standard profile implant that fits her frame may not have enough volume to achieve the size she wants.

When you really don't like the idea of operated breasts, it is good that you have more than a year to make friends with your real ones. That will make you feel much better. And as dumb as you may otherwise think boys are, they are sometimes very good at making a girl feel good about her breasts - so don't be afraid to enlist their help on this. After all that was how most other girls got happy about theirs (if they did). Nobody demands that you yourself should think they are fantastic. The mature way to be pleased about your own breasts is to see that they do some good to others. That is much more real, and is a feeling. The self-criticism is luckily only thoughts ... and as powerful as they can seem in the moment, they can be overruled by feeling. So I'd honestly advise that you "hope and pray" for the good feeling instead of a different size. If you didn't have that even though you had bigger boobs, what good would that do! And reversely, if you did have the good feeling, it wouldn't matter that they were ultra small (or whatever your self-criticism has said about them). Do you see some point in this? ;o)

the best kind are the ones you feel the most comfortable with!

I did saline, unders and I love them.

Don't listen to what other people say. Listen to your doctor and yourself! I got them after having a baby (those babies can really wreck a body!). It was the best thing I ever did!

Good luck!

Get breast implants surgery in India. Cosmetic Surgery is very cheap in India. There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic surgery for foreigners in India. They are called the Forerunners Healthcare. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.

I have also read that they arrange financing for American and Canadian patients, as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. The cost savings are incredible. As a doctor I personally believe that your cosmetic surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

My cousin got a couple of cosmetic surgery procedures in India like the breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift through the forerunners healthcare. She is more than very happy with the results. She just paid 30% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company. I personally have seen the wonderful results and am particularly impressed with the kind of quality care she got from this company. I hope this helps.

as far as I know, saline is better than silicone, but anytime you put something inside your body keep in mind that saline implants and also silicone implants seems to burst and cause health problems. Please be careful on this, hate to read and hear about women who have health issues because the implants has leaked. "Good luck"

I don't know if you have seen Dr. 90210 on E Entertainment. But I saw one episode where he put implants in a young female using HER own fat from her body. He said, that makes it more realistic, since it is her own fat and since it is our own fat cells that form breast. But you should research it and find out because if you can do that, you should.
