Saline Breast Implants
Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C.
Saline breast implants are an excellent choice for patients who are ready to have breast enlargement surgery, but unsure if they want gel breast implants. During the breast augmentation surgery, the breast implants are filled once they have been placed in the pocket. There are several choices for your incision site and the doctor may recommend one based on your body type. The incisions are small and gradually fade with time. Saline breast implants are filled with salt water. If the breast implant shell ruptures, the saline will be absorbed by your body. Breast implant failure rates vary from each manufacturer, but a yearly average rate is less than 1%.
When having breast augmentation surgery, if patients select a saline breast implant, they are invited to participate in a Breast Implant Follow-up Study. Patients will be reimbursed by the manufacturer a total of $100 over a 10-year period. Patients will also receive a yearly questionnaire and will receive a $10 check for completing it.
