Each breast augmentation surgeon has his or her preference. Some prefer silicone implants purely for aesthetic reasons. Silicon breast implants tend to have a more natural texture and over all natural look to them. Others are leery of the risks associated with silicone (see below)
Breast Implants from Saline:
New saline filled implants are made with a rubber shell that may be filled to the patients requested size. Some now have a valve emplace allowing for an increase or decrease in size depending on the clients wants.
Currently there are two kinds of saline implants on the market. The standard model is your basic implant that comes in a set shape and size. The other is a fresh take, with the added feature of a small valve, cosmetic surgeons have the ability to insert the implants into the breast and then fill or decrease the size of the breast before the patients eyes, insuring the perfect look. This also means that should you want bigger or smaller breasts as time goes on, you simply see your physician and voila.
Though complications can arise from these implants they are fewer and further between than silicone. There have been studies and cases where bacteria and mould have been found in the solution, putting the one with implants at risk should the implant leak or rupture. This can cause problem for the repertory system as well as number of nasty complication due to infection. Should a saline implant rupture it is much easier to detect than other implants.
Implants made from Silicone
Outer shells of implants made from silicone and are reported to be strong and hold up to a great deal or wear and tear. Unlike saline these implants are made in a particular size and shape. There are every size, shape (tear, round or oval), textures and the shells can be thicker or thinner.
Silicone implants were banned by the FDA in the 90s but have reapproved despite little advancement. Breast surgeons using implants should make the client aware of the risks when going with this type if implant. Studies have concluded that not only can silicone implants lead to cancer (if ruptured) but because of high amounts of platinum and other toxic materials found in the implant, it can lead to diminished motor functions and problems concerning memory.
Research is always being done on this topic, however studies have shown and linked memory loss and other neurological disorders to high levels of neuro toxic compounds found in silicone implants along with a number of other toxins that are known to cause forms of cancer and brain damage.
With silicone implants you will have to pay a lot for the MRIs each year.
High level of platinum in silicon implants lead to short term memory loss and may lead to the loss of motor skills and has been linked to several neurological disorders.
Once a woman has had silicone breast surgery implants breast feeding isnt a good idea and worst, in several hundred cases the same toxins found in breast implants and the women have been found in the children of those women, even if they had them previously removed before pregnancy.Despite the fact that silicone implants have a more natural look, feel, and have a more cohesive gel breast implants, the rate of rupture is higher as is the rate of capsular contraction (a painful condition where a kind of scar tissue forms around the implant and hardens).
