There are different kinds of breast implants; one is a silicone shell which is filled with a saline solution and the other is a silicone shell filled with a silicone gel. There was a period when silicone gel implants were banned by the FDA but the ban was lifted after it was proven that there was no risk to the woman’s health in the event the implant ruptured. Many women say that silicone gel New York breast implants feel more like natural breasts and they are not overly concerned about rupture.

How the procedure is done:

The US FDA sets strict rules on the age of a woman before she can have breast augmentation. As breasts continue to grow and develop into a woman’s late teens and even early 20s, the FDA requires that the patient be 18 or more to receive saline filled implants and 22 or more to receive gel filled implants. If you are a candidate for breast augmentation then look for a surgeon who has a great deal of experience. If you choose a surgeon for New York breast implants who has had at least four or five years of training and a few years of experience you will be less likely to face complications.

Prior to the surgery you will meet with the surgeon and make the final decisions on the type of implant, the size and shape and discuss what your expectations are on the outcome. Your thoughts on the matter may be tempered by the surgeon as not all results are available to all women. On the day of the surgery, the patient is given general anesthesia, the procedure takes about two hours; the surgery can be done as outpatient or a hospital.

Depending on the type of implant, the degree of enlargement and the body itself, the surgeon will make incisions under the breasts in the fold, under the arms and perhaps around the nipples. The implant is placed in a prepared pocket either above or below the pectoral muscle, once the implant is in place; the cuts are closed with sutures.

During the healing process it will be necessary to wear a surgical bra and you will not be allowed to do any heavy lifting. There will be some swelling but within a short period of time this will disappear.
