Saline Implants – Breast Augmentation Mountain View

Published on December 21, 2015 by Robert Lowen
Saline Implants

During breast augmentation, breast implants are typically used to achieve a larger, fuller bust. One of the main types of breast implants used is saline implants. These implants are made of a silicone shell filled with a saline solution.

Modern saline implants have a similar feel compared to silicone implants. Previously, saline implants were often said to have a significantly different feel and appearance.

The right type of breast implant is dependent on the patient and their individual goals. There is no such thing as a “perfect” implant. The best way to decide on the right implant for you is by discussing your options during a consultation.

Speak with Dr. Robert Lowen to learn more about saline implants and your available breast implant options.
