For all this implant procedures, a small surgical incision is made (healed incision marks are not visible) at the bottom of your breast or armpit or navel or at the edge of areola, the implants are placed below your pectoral muscles or mammary glands. Using suitable manipulation, the plastic surgeon fixes it appropriately on you to get the desired cosmetic results. An implant available for breast augmentation surgery varies from saline filled breast implants to silicones. Let us see the major types available among them.

Structured saline breast implants are the other kind of implants in the class. They are structured and filled with sterile saline water. The inner structure has been made to give more a natural feel.

Silicone breast implants are made up of with silicone gel which is bio-compatible and US FDA approved for woman aged 22 years or older. Gummy bear breast implants are the variants in this class. They are highly cohesive silicone gel (fifth generation) breast implants approved by US-FDA, which are almost exclusively anatomic or shaped implants.

Shape of the Implants:

Round breast implants have a propensity to make breasts appear fuller than form stable implants (tear drop shaped). Higher profile options can achieve even more projection. However, tear drop shaped implant looks more natural. Smooth breast implants give a softest feeling in which they move along with the implant pocket like natural movement. Textured breast implants develop scar tissue to stick to the implant, this process make them lesser vulnerable to move around inside the implant pocket of the breast and become repositioned. Although, there are several types and shapes, you don't have to be confused that which one you choose. Each one of them is known to have its merits and demerits.
