Saline vs. Silicone Implants from a Plastic Surgeon in Baltimore

January 30, 2014Jeffrey Schreiber, MDUncategorized

Every woman is bound to experience sagging breasts, even highly paid celebrities that you idolize. Breasts eventually sag for a number of reasons, but the most common is aging.  Beyond a certain age, breast ligaments get stretched and lose their elasticity as years go by.

Another common reason is exercising without the proper support.  Women who run regularly without a sports bra in Baltimore’s popular running trails, for example, like the Loch Raven Reservoir, leave their breasts vulnerable and thus prone to sagging. Fortunately, breast augmentation surgery performed by a plastic surgeon in Baltimore is one way to get firmer and shapelier breasts. However, it will help to become familiar with the differences between saline and silicone implants first.

 Saline implants

Saline implants are composed of layers of a silicone outer shell. First, shells are inserted and once they are stably in place in the patient’s breast cavities, they are filled with sterile saltwater solution. What is good about saline implants is that since they are inserted without the filling at first, the procedure entails smaller and shorter incisions and their volume and size can be easily adjusted by the plastic surgeon during the surgery, making them ideal for those with asymmetrical breast size.

Silicone implants 

 Like saline implants, silicone implants are composed of layers of a silicone outer shell, but the main difference lies in the filling material. In saline implants, water is used, while in silicone implants, silicone gel is used. The silicone gel are filled-in prior to the procedure, but the materials are designed to conform to the natural shape of the breasts and allow for a more natural feel.

If you have decided to go for a breast augmentation, it’s best to do your research on a reputable plastic surgeon in Baltimore first. A trustworthy cosmetic surgeon will enlighten you on what either procedure entails so you can make a well-informed decision. You also have to be forthcoming with any medical condition you have or have had in the past for the doctor to determine if you are indeed a good candidate for a breast augmentation procedure.

Aging gracefully is easier said than done; our bodies, however, will age as the natural course of things.  Thankfully, even though these areas are susceptible to the laws of gravity, women still have a chance to defy those very rules through a breast augmentation procedure.

    Dr. Schreiber performed my tummy tuck in 2017 and I am so excited about my results as they are amazing. Dr. Schreiber was so easy to work with and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. He was always there when I needed to ask him something and gave me his cell phone number...
