Having breast enhancement surgery is a personal decision — one that should be made for you, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to fit any sort of ideal image. We take the time to listen and answer any questions you have before the procedure. Placement of implants is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. Options for breast implants include:
Saline (filled with sterile salt water). They can be filled with varying amounts of saline, which can affect the shape, firmness and feel of the breast.
Silicone (filled with an elastic gel). The gel feels and moves much like natural breast tissue.
