What is inside the implants?

Currently, saline implants are used most commonly for breast augmentation. These have a silicone shell of varying sizes that are filled with different volumes of salt-water solution depending on the size of the implant. Silicone filled implants are FDA approved for cosmetic breast augmentation for patients that are at least twenty-two years old. The patients that will benefit most for silicone implants are patients that are thin and have minimal breast tissue. These patients will have improved cosmetic outcome having less implant rippling and a more natural feel and appearance compared to saline implants.
