Saline Implants

• Filled with sterile saline solution (salt water).

Types According to OUTER SHELL of Breast Implants

Smooth vs Textured Silicon Implants

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Implant Placement:

Under the muscle (sub-muscular implant) – More natural look, longer recovery
Over the muscle (sub-glandular implant) – Shorter recovery, slightly less natural in thin patients

Fat Transfer to Breast

Although Silicon Implant is a better option for Breast Augmentation, If a female not Looking for Breast Enhancement without Implant than Fat Grafting is a good Options.

Especially when patients are also looking for removing unwanted fat from any part of the body like love handle, saddle bag, back rolls etc, we can process the fat removed by liposuction and inject it in other body parts like Breast, butt, under eye, nose, cheeks, labia to rejuvenate them.

Not all the injected fat survives so We may need a repeat session of fat grafting to give precise results, so for patients not looking for another surgery- Silicon Implant is a better option.

Body Filler Injection in Breasts

If Patient is not convinced for Breast Implant or Fat Grafting surgery but still wants non surgical breast augmentation, or wants correction of slight asymmetry after Implant or fat grafting than Filler is a good option.

These body fillers can be used for Breast, Butt, Calf, Hip-dips etc.

It’s costlier compared to same volume of silicon implants and needs to be repeated after few years to maintain results.
