Breast Augmentation Buffalo

Posted August 20, 2009 in Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation – Silicone Gel Implants

Breast augmentation continues to be one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures.  Silicone gel implants are being used in about half of those procedures.  Silicone gel implants offer superior naturalness, softness and significantly less palpability than saline implants.  The silicone fear is not totally forgotten and can make the decision of which implant to go with more difficult.  Fortunately, there has been no scientific evidence that supports silicone gel implants to be harmful.  The remaining concern is knowing when a silicone gel implant needs to be replaced.  The FDA recommends every 10 years, which is a very conservative and safe recomendation, however, cost sometimes creates an issue.
