Saline filled breast implants remain a popular choice for breast enhancement. They are composed of an outer elastic silicone rubber shell and filled with a sterile saline saltwater solution.
The FDA regulations has labelled saline implants for patients 18 years and older. Several placement options are available for saline breast implants, including subglandular over the muscle and subpectoral partially under the chest muscle. Pancholi will usually choose to place saline implants in a subpectoral position for a more natural result. The proper placement for each patient will vary depending on body type, breast characteristics, rib cage, implant size, and other considerations.
Saline breast implants come empty from the manufacturer. Pancholi will determine the correct implant and fill volume for your implants to give you a result that most closely matches your choice at consultation.
While new options continue to be developed, saline implants still offer a very aesthetically pleasing and safe breast enhancement option for many women. The subglandular approach can lift the nipple, possibly eliminating the need for an additional breast lift surgery. The results tend to be a full, round lower breast area. A downside to this approach, however, is that there is an increased risk of scar tissue forming around the implant, also known as capsular contracture, creating a hardened feel or distorted appearance of the implant.
In addition, depending on your anatomy, there may be a less full upper pole of the breast with this approach. More often the submuscular approach will be recommended, which places the implant under the chest pectoralis muscle.
With the extra tissue covering the implant, the breast tends to look more natural and have a gentler slope. This approach is especially beneficial to thinner patients who have less tissue available to cover an implant.
The addition of muscle covering the implant lessens the risk of feeling the implant, also known as palpability, as well as the occurrence of capsular contracture and of implant malposition. With the dual plane approach, the implant is placed partially under both the pectoralis muscle and the breast tissue. Generally, the upper half of the implant is covered by muscle, and the lower is only under the breast tissue.
Like the submuscular approach, this technique has lower risks and can give a more natural-looking slope to the breast. In the end, a consultation with one of our knowledgeable plastic surgeons is the best way to learn if the dual plane approach is right for you.
