Breast Implants are medical devices that are used to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. They are typically made of silicone or saline, and are inserted into the breast through an incision in the breast or under the arm. Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel, while saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. Both types of implants have a silicone outer shell. Silicone implants are considered to have a more natural feel, while saline implants are considered to be safer in the event of a rupture.
The procedure to insert Breast Implants is called breast augmentation, and it is typically done under general anesthesia. The incision can be made in a number of different places, including the crease under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. The implant is then inserted into a pocket created either directly behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscle.
