Women, in a bid to look more attractive, opt for breast implantations to give them a redefined shape in terms of shape and size both. Interestingly, these procedures can be used for reconstructive purposes like after mastectomy for breast cancer or for cosmetic reasons. This post mainly deals with different types of breast implants that women can come across. But before let’s have a brief description of this innovative medical procedure.

Breast Implants
As the name suggests, these medical devices are implanted underneath the tissue of the breast or even under the chest muscle in order to enhance the size of the breast. This method is highly effective in rebuilding the tissue of the breast that are damaged due to mastectomy.
They are also used for revision surgeries in which the results of the original surgery are improved. Although the overall quality of the surgery varies from place to place but the types remain almost similar. For example, the types of breast implants in South Africa offered will be same as compared to other locations.
Types of Implants
Saline Breast Implants
These transplants are packed with disinfected salt water. In case the shell of the implant leaks, the saline transplant will fall and the same will be absorbed as well as naturally absorbed by the body. The best thing is that this procedure is FDA-approved and it is offering a unique shape, firmness as well as feel.
Silicone Breast Implants
These transplants are full of silicone gel and at times they feel more than that of the normal breast tissue. In case of any leakage in the implant, the gel will remain intact within the shell of the implant or it may discharge in the pocket of the implant. A person going with this implant has to visit the surgeon regular basis just to make sure that implants are functioning properly.
Round Breast Implants
These implants have a tendency of making the breasts appear fuller as compared to the form-stable implants. Since the round transplants have the same shape all over, one has to be less concerned about rotating of the same out of place. These types of breast enlargement procedures are not very common and they need great expertise in its execution.
Other Forms of Implants
Gummy Bear Breast Implants
Structured Saline Breast Implants
Textured Breast Implants
Smooth Breast Implants
It is important for the patients to keep in mind that whether it is breast surgery or it is laser treatment in Cape Town as well as in any other location, the surgeon must have great experience in dealing with the same.
