Silicone Breast Implantsin Dallas, TexasDr. Rai uses the best breast implants available to give you a more beautiful look. Both saline and silicone gel breast implants have been available since the 1960s. Until 1992, the majority of breast augmentations were done with silicone gel implants. In 1992, the FDA restricted silicone implants to breast reconstruction and they could not be used for cosmetic enhancement. For 14 years, intensive research studies were done on their safety, in response to media claims of alleged diseases resulting from leaks. No links were found between silicone gel implants and any systemic diseases. In November, 2006, the FDA approved two brands of silicone gel implants for all women aged 22 or over, for both breast reconstruction and breast augmentation. These new implants are made by the two California companies Allergan (also called Inamed/McGhan) and Mentor Corporation, who both worked with the FDA for those 14 years.

Cosmetic Surgical Center: Mission Statement Breast Implant Sizes Breast implants are available in a range of sizes with pre-filled silicone gel, or for saline fill during the breast augmentation surgery. They are available in different styles of projection, including Low Profile, Medium Profile or High Profile. Learn how to choose the breast implant size that's right for you. Breast Implant Texture The outer surface of a breast implant can be smooth or textured . Both saline and silicone implants are available with either texture. The outer shell is made of a synthetic material called Silastic. Silastic is biochemically inert and does not cause foreign body reaction. This is actually an elastomer of smooth silicone sheeting, which is used to make the outer shell. Breast Implant Shapes In addition to different sizes, there are also variations in the shape of breast implants . The breast implant can be a round or teardrop shape. The teardrop shape is sometimes referred to as an anatomical implant. Adjustable breast implants are also available and can be adjusted in volume even after the initial implantation. Adjustable implants are used only in certain situations. Adjustable Breast Implants Adjustable implants have a range of fill, which can be adjusted after the initial breast implant surgery. These implants have a detachable fill tube with a dome attachment. The dome is implanted under the skin, away from the implant. Postoperatively, volume can be adjusted through the dome. Once a desired effect is achieved, the fill tube and dome can be removed under local anesthesia. Silicone Gel Breast Implants Silicone gel implants have been approved by the FDA and are now available for breast enlargement surgery.
