Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone breast implants are one option that women have available to them if they wish to enhance their breast size or shape. This product is done through the use of new cohesive silicone gel implants. These gel implants are safer to use than liquid versions, and they are more natural both in touch and in their appearance. If these gelatin like implants were to break, such as a rupture, or leak, the product will not move from the shape it currently is holding. Rather, the gel will remain in place and is often not noticed for the long term. Silicone breast implants do require a larger incision to be made to insert them, as they are filled with the gel prior to being placed in the chest wall.
