There are many reasons why a woman might choose to have breast augmentation surgery. Some women feel self-conscious about their small breasts and want to increase their bust size. Others may have lost volume in their breasts after breastfeeding or weight loss, or they may have developed sagging breasts due to age. Whatever the reason, breast augmentation can be a life-changing procedure for many women.

If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, it is important to understand the different types of implants available and the risks and benefits associated with each type. There are two main types of implants: saline and silicone. Saline implants are filled with salt water, while silicone implants are filled with silicone gel. Both types of implants have their pros and cons, but most women today choose to have saline implants because they are more affordable and less likely to leak or require additional surgery.

Saline Implants

Because saline implants are filled with salt water, the volume of the implant can be adjusted by adding more saline through a small port placed under the skin during surgery. This allows your plastic surgeon to customize the size of the implants during surgery. Saline implants also tend to feel much more natural than silicone implants because there is not a thick silicone gel layer between the implant and your breast tissue. However, unlike silicone implants, saline implants may rupture or break if they are placed too close to the chest wall or if a patient has an active infection in her breasts. In addition, it is not possible to determine a saline implant's size until after surgery, which can be frustrating for some women.

Benefits of breast augmentation surgery with saline implants

Saline implants are the most common type of implant used today. Patients tend to choose saline implants over silicone for several reasons, including:

• They look more natural than silicone gel implants.
• The chance of a saline implant rupturing is lower than with silicone gel. Saline may leak if it's placed too close to the chest wall or if there is an active infection in the body.

Breast augmentation surgery cost

An The cost of breast augmentation varies depending on the type of implant used, the number of incisions needed for insertion, and other factors. On average, however, women can expect to spend anywhere from $4,000 to $7,000 on their breast augmentation surgery. If saline implants are being used instead of silicone gel implants, most surgeons will charge an additional $1,500 to $3,000 for the saline solution that is required during surgery. The total cost could range from about $5,500 to about $11,500.

Breast augmentation surgery recovery

Most women report a relatively easy recovery following breast augmentation surgery. However, everyone is different and you should expect to experience some pain, swelling, and bruising after the surgery. Most of these symptoms will go away within a few weeks. You will also need to take some time off from work to allow your body to heal. Most women are able to return to their normal activities within four to six weeks post-surgery.
