Silicone Breast Implants Milestone a Boon for Breast Augmentation Patients

Breast augmentation patients have reason to celebrate today, as they have just passed the three year anniversary of the FDA approval of silicone-gel breast implants. With improved technology aiding the process, the popularity of silicone breast implants is sure to rise, as surgeons become more skilled and knowledgeable about conducting the various procedures. Until liquid-silicone-filled implants appeared in the 1960s, women’s only breast implant options were saline implants filled with a sterile saltwater solution, which tended to slosh around and ripple. Thus for many surgeons, after extensive research, the 2006 approval of silicone-gel implants into their safety meant a large step forward in the options for both patients and surgeons.

According to Dr. Stoker of Marina Plastic Surgery Associates, the silicone implants have already made vast improvements, “The cohesive gel is a bit firmer, so it has a dense, much softer feel. It looks and feels much more like natural tissue,” states Dr. Stoker. “Also, in the event of a rupture, the cohesive gel won’t leak. Rupture is very rare, but this aspect of these implants is very reassuring.” For those considering breast augmentation surgery, there is no better time then now to make the decision. With increased safetly smoothing the process, women now have the ability to achieve the appearance they truly desire.
