Types of breast implants

The first is the saline implant. As obvious from the name, saline implants are filled with sterile saline solutions. Saltwater is a good example of a saline solution used in this type of breast implant. The amount of saline solution determines how the breast will feel, the firmness and shape are also determined by this factor. If somehow the saline implant leaks, the solution will be absorbed without causing any complications and expelled by the body.

There is another type called silicone gel-filled implants. The implant’s outer shell is made of silicon and is filled with silicone gel. If somehow the implant leaks, the gel will stay inside the shell.
