What is it?
Saline breast implants are the most safe and reliable implants being used today, and are used in virtually all breast augmentation procedures. Silicone implants are used more in cases of breast reconstruction, especially in post-cancer breast reconstruction surgery. Depending on the anatomy of your breasts, the amount, type and intensity of exercise you do, your surgeon should help you choose the placement and implant most ideal for your lifestyle and comfort.
Sizes and shapes of implants can vary.

The process begins by making a small incision either under the breast crease, in the darker area of the areola, or less frequently, in the armpit. The addition of the implant includes lifting the breast tissue and creating a pocket for insertion of the implant. The implant itself, a soft envelope of saline or silicone, is then inserted behind the breast to create size, volume and shape. This process can take up to three to four hours, and varies by the type of procedure your doctor has chosen.

Recovery time:
Non-strenuous activity can be resumed after 5-7 days and strenuous activity after 6 weeks.
