Saline Breast Implants

In the United States, saline implants have been the most popular breast implant.  They’re made of a silicone-based soft shell and filled with saline - a salt and water solution.  Saline breast implants come in different shapes and sizes, giving the patient choices for preferred breast projection and slope.  The level of firmness found in saline implants is generally greater than silicone.

Who should consider saline implants?

• Patients over age 18
• Those who desire increased fullness in the upper part of their breasts,
• Women with excess breast tissue

Perhaps the main advantage of saline implants is the way they’re sized to precisely fit the patient’s body. Saline implants are filled during surgery, so their volume can be adjusted according to your needs, giving you the right amount of breast fullness and shape.

The proper size and shape

Choosing the right shape and size is important.  Patient body type and preferences dictate which breast implant is best, so we offer a variety of implant textures, sizes, and shapes, to provide our patients with highest degree of flexibility in their choice.
