Are Silicone Gel Breast Implants a Safe Choice?

Breast Augmentation in Miami, FLThe simple answer is yes. Silicone implants are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration.  When it comes to safety and risks of breast augmentation, silicone implants and saline implants are basically the same. However, should a breast implant rupture occur, there are differences to consider.  If a saline breast implant breaks, patients say it’s like “getting a flat tire.” You realize it very quickly. With the latest silicone gel breast implants, the breasts may not look any different if a rupture occurs. The best way to positively know is to get an MRI if you suspect that your implant is compromised. In my practice I recommend silicone breast implants in most cases because they produce results that look and feel very natural.  To conclude, breast augmentation with silicone implants is just as safe as with saline implants.  It comes down to your preferences and which implant type you are comfortable with.  If you have any reservations at all about silicone gel, you should probably stick with saline.
