Understanding the Types of Implants Available in Los Angeles Breast Enhancement Procedures

June 10th, 2010 | Posted in: Breast Enhancement |

If you are considering a Los Angeles breast enhancement procedure, one of the choices you will need to make is choosing the type of implant you will want. There are essentially two types of implants available today: silicone and saline. Saline implants are best if you have more breast tissue. If you have thin tissue, your saline implants may be more noticeable and your new implants may be more prone to wrinkling and rippling than silicone implants.

For these reasons, many surgeons offering Los Angeles breast enhancement procedures prefer or recommend silicone implants. There are in fact many types of silicone implants available for a Los Angeles breast enhancement procedure. For example, you may opt for a multi-layer silicone implant. 3-layered implants are less likely to bleed but feel very soft. There are also firmer gummy bear silicone implants or textured silicone, which may require a larger incision but which can offer a very natural-looking silhouette as well as less risk of wrinkling and rippling.
