Breast Implant Surgery General Information
In 2008, plastic surgeons performed 307,230 breast implant procedures, making breast augmentation the most popular plastic surgery procedure among women.
Some women want breast implants to give their breasts more firmness and a more youthful appearance. Other women choose breast augmentation surgery simply because they want larger breasts. Whatever your reasons, it’s a good idea to be at a weight that you are comfortable with before deciding to have breast implant surgery. It’s also important that you have a healthy self-image before having breast enhancement surgery.
There are 2 types of breast implants:
- Saline breast implants
- Silicone gel breast implants
Breast implants also come in different shapes and sizes, so talk to your plastic surgeon about your breast implant options during your breast augmentation pre-surgical consultation.
