Implant Types, Sizing and Lifespan
Breast implants come mainly as silicone or saline, each with its own feel. For sizing, the right choice is planned around your frame, not just a number.
- Silicone implants, soft and natural feeling
- Saline implants, suited to selected cases
- Sizing planned around your body and goals
Importantly, implants are not always lifelong, and many last many years before any change is needed.
Implant Safety and Monitoring
Modern implants are well studied and widely used. Even so, sensible monitoring matters, so your surgeon will advise on routine checks and what to look out for.
Breast Surgery and Breastfeeding
Many women can still breastfeed after breast augmentation, especially with under-muscle placement. However, this depends on the technique, so it is discussed honestly beforehand.
When Implants Need Revision
Sometimes implants need updating, for example if they harden or you wish to change size. In that case, implant revision can refresh the result safely.
