Types of implants
Article Body
A breast implant is a silicone shell filled with either silicone gel or a salt-water solution known as saline.
Because of concerns that there is insufficient information demonstrating the safety of silicone gel-filled breast implants, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that new gel-filled implants, at the present time, should be available only to women participating in approved studies. Some women requiring replacement of the implants may also be eligible to participate in the study.
Saline-filled implants continue to be available to breast augmentation patients on an unrestricted basis, pending further FDA review. You should ask your doctor more about the specifics of the FDA decisions.

The type of incision can also categorize these implants.
Through the navel: The surgery is performed through a long tube called an endoscope. While the scar may be imperceptible, it is nearly impossible to dissect a large enough pocket for placement of the implant in this manner. Therefore, the method used is creation of the space by blowing a dissecting balloon that tears open the area. This does not create a large enough pocket for the implant, so that its outline can be seen, producing a very unaesthetic appearance. If bleeding should occur, stopping it can be very difficult. Furthermore, because the implant can be abraded and weakened when pushed through the endoscope, the implant manufacturers will not guarantee their products in the event of leakage.
After the operation
Your breasts will be wrapped with gauze bandage as well as a tighter bandage for protection and support after breast augmentation surgery. You also may have drainage tubes coming out of the incision for several days, to help drain some of the excess fluid. It is important to take the medication prescribed to you by your doctor. Someone will need to drive you home, and you may need assistance at home over the next couple of days.

Breast augmentation makes the breasts larger for the life of the implant. Remember, also that larger breasts sag faster than smaller breasts, and augmented breasts do this as well. It is possible that you may require surgery in later years to correct sagging if you choose to have large implants. Gravity unfortunately has no exceptions.
