What is a saline-filled breast implant? A breast implant is a sac (implant shell) with
the outer shell made of
silicone elastomeric (rubber). The implant is surgically implanted
under
the breast tissues, and then filled with sterile saline (a
salt-water solution)
through a valve. What is breast
implant augmentation? Breast augmentation is a surgical
procedure done to increase or decrease the size
and proportions of a woman's breasts.
What size breast implant should be used?
Generally, the larger you
want your cup size, the larger the breast implant
the surgeon will consider (measured in cubic centimeters, or cc's).

| A
resource for the proactive patient
looking for cosmetic surgery
procedures. Our Los Angeles, and
Beverly Hills cosmetic surgery staff
has thoroughly researched and
written in depth about many of the
professionals who perform cosmetic
and reconstructive surgery
procedures. We have interviewed the
patients of these professionals and
seen the results of their work.
Since 1997, many of these
interviews, including specific
‘before and after’ photographs, have
been published in our hard copy
magazine, and here on our web site.
Our staff is here to answer any of
your questions in preparing you to
choose the right physician for the
procedure you want. Before you put
your appearance, and indeed, your
life, in the hands of a cosmetic
surgery professional, or someone who
claims to be, make sure you have all
the facts. |
