Silicone and Saline Breast Implants - Dr. Ali Sajjadian

There are two types of breast implants: silicone and saline. Breast implants filled with silicone have silicone shells and plastic silicone gel inside. Saline filled breast implants have silicone shells and are filled with salt water. There are similarities and difficulties between the two, and the best way to find out which breast implant is best for you is to consult with your Newport Beach plastic surgeon.

Most women in Newport Beach report that silicone breast implants have a more natural feeling and sit on your chest more naturally, but they pose a higher risk if they leak. Silicone breast implants were off the market for some time in the 1990s and early-2000s, but after several medical improvements and advancements, silicone breast implants were re-introduced to the market in 2006. The cost of the two types of breast implants will vary depending on your location and your Newport Beach plastic surgeon. It is not advised to make a choice based on cost, but rather quality of the surgeon. There is almost no circumstances in which your insurance company will cover the cost of breast implants due to their cosmetic nature, and you can expect to pay anywhere between $5,000- 9,000 for your breast implant procedure.

Regardless of the kind of breast implant you and your Newport Beach plastic surgeon choose to go with, the procedure will be relatively the same. It should take about an hour and a half, and can be done both as an outpatient procedure, or you could stay overnight. The incision can be made under your breast crease, in the armpit, or in the nipple, and the final breast size is not decided until you are on the table and your surgeon is determining what looks best and fits your needs. For this reason, it is incredibly important that you share your vision for your breast implant results with your Newport Beach plastic surgeon very explicitly.
