Augmentation with breast implants is an extremely popular procedure. Ideal candidates are women with good overall health, who are above the age of 18, are not pregnant or breast feeding, and do not smoke or have quit for a period of time before the surgery. Part of having good overall health is maintaining a healthy weight. Ideal candidates are no more than 30 pounds overweight. Being psychologically and emotionally ready for such a body-altering procedure is also important. Patients should not be using implants as a cure to low self-esteem. In fact, they should have moderate to high self-esteem to begin with. The patient should also have realistic expectations. Some women pair implants with other procedures such as breast lifts. Patients should consult with their surgeons regarding their options and what they expect their bodies to look like after surgery.
There are choices regarding which type of breast implant to use. Saline and silicone breast implants each have unique advantages. Saline implants are placed into the chest empty, allowing for smaller incisions and less noticeable scars. Once the shell is placed behind the breast tissue, the surgeon then fills it with a sterile saline solution. Silicone implants have a reputation for feeling softer and more natural. The shells are filled with a thick oil or gel. They are filled completely before the procedure then typically inserted through a small incision under the breasts.
