What are the Differences Between Breast Implant Types?

There are a lot of options offered when getting breast implants and those options can vary in size and shape and material type. Not only are there so many differences in breast implants, there are even more differences in the individual body types and body image goals of the women seeking breast implants. Choosing the right size, shape, and type for your body and your individual goals is best done in personal consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Jane Rowley here in Lubbock, but knowing your options for the different implant types is a good way to be informed before that visit as you make the choice that is best for your body and lifestyle.

Silicone Breast Implants
These implants are known for a natural, teardrop shape and a natural feel. The gel, however, inside the implant that gives it its natural feel has been known to leak if the implant is compromised. You must continually monitor your implants to ensure you notice leaks as soon as possible since leaked silicone can cause health risks.

Saline Breast Implants
Although some women believe these implants have less of a natural look and feel than silicone breast implants, they are known to be safer. Unlike a silicone implant that may leak fluid without your knowing, causing health risks, saline implants do not have the same health risks and you will know immediately if the implant has been compromised.

Gummy Bear Implants
These implants are also silicone-based implants, but unlike the risks associated with standard silicone implants, these are made with high-strength silicone. This reduces the risk of breakage; however, it also means the breasts can be uncomfortable to lay on when laying on your stomach since they hold their shape.

The Ideal Implant®
If saline implants don’t give you the natural look and feel you would like, but you’re also concerned about the potential leaking risks of silicone, this type of implant is a good alternative to give you the best of both worlds. This implant is filled with saline, so leaks are not a concern if they happen, but the structure of this implant is more complex than usual. Unlike a standard saline implant, this has multiple shells and chambers that together create a more fluid movement and reduce rippling which provides the desired natural feel.
