Specialist Says Silicone Implants Are Best
Many women consider having breast augmentation surgery, to make their breasts look the way that they desire. Whether it is just to reshape the breast or make them significantly larger, breast augmentation has remained the most popular cosmetic procedure throughout the world. Women have been very impressed with the results of their silicon implants as compared to saline. They find that with their silicone implants they can finally feel confident about their breasts.
Dr. Robert Cohen, a board-certified plastic surgeon of the Scottsdale Center for Plastic Surgery, is a strong supporter of silicone breast implants. He says that the silicone implants have a more natural texture and feel. They are softer and are a closer match to the surrounding breast tissue. There is substantially less palpable rippling and less potential for visible rippling with silicone implants when compared to saline. Another major benefit is that they are known to last longer. The removal rate of saline implants within the first four years of the procedure is five percent higher than for silicone implants.
Dr. Cohen performs numerous revision breast augmentation surgeries and finds that many women will opt to get their saline implants replaced by silicone implants. In a press release he said, “Some of my corrective surgery patients choose silicone partly because they weren’t happy with their experience with saline, but what’s interesting is that we’re starting to see many more patients wanting to ‘trade up’ to silicone for its own sake, without necessarily requiring significant correction at the same time.” Due to their softer and more natural texture, silicone implants can help to compensate for many of the aesthetic challenges associated with revision breast surgery.
It is important, when considering breast augmentation, that the surgeon evaluates a woman’s candidacy thoroughly. Surgical recommendations must take into account a wide range of factors including but not limited to weight, diet, exercise habits, and age. Dr. Cohen adds that, “Revision surgery has to be approached uniquely for each patient, and an experienced surgeon will be able to identify the right implant type for your short and long-term goals. The exciting news is that women today have more options than ever before to create their desired look.”
Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the UK. In fact the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons reported that in 2009 breast augmentation procedures made up nearly 26 percent of all cosmetic procedures. When women decide that a breast augmentation is right for them then, they should know that silicone implants are the best choice. Silicone implants feel and look more natural and are more durable.
