Lubbock Plastic Surgery with the Ideal Implant®

Women in Lubbock overwhelmingly request a breast augmentation as their Lubbock plastic surgery of choice. Breast augmentation procedures hold the number one spot across the country as well. Age, pregnancy, and baby care all take a toll on a woman’s breasts. Breast lifts, implants, and nipple relocations can get women the full, youthful breasts they want. If you are considering implants, choosing the right material can be difficult. Your implant in certainly not something you can change like changing shoes, so it is critical that you choose the material that you can be satisfied with for years to come.

Pros and Cons of Silicone

When compared with saline implants, generally speaking, a silicone implant can have a more natural look and feel. Over time, implants are at risk of rippling, and that rippling can be visible through the skin. Silicone implants, however, have a lower risk of showing rippling. This material can be more costly. It can also have a risk of what is known as a “silent puncture.” And it can also require a larger incision to implant.

Choosing Saline

Saline implants can require a smaller incision than silicone. Saline implants are filled during surgery, unlike the pre-filled silicone implants, so their size can be adjusted and tailored during surgery. There is no health risk to a leak.
