A breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery that many women choose for a number of reasons. Generally, augmentation procedures will involve breast implants, which are surgically implanted to the specifications that best fit your goals and body type.
Breast augmentation will involve a number of considerations that will affect your final results. One of the first choices to be made is the type of breast implant to be used.
The two major types of breast implant are saline and silicone. Saline implants are made of silicone but are filled with saline, a saltwater solution. Silicone implants are made of silicone and filled with silicone gel; these have a different texture.
