Breast enlargement is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the Philippines, particularly now that many medical groups in the country specialize in breast augmentation, particularly in enlargement.
There are two popular implants used in
breast enlargement Philippines, these are the silicone-based implants and the saline-based implants. So what are the differences between these implants?
Saline-Based Implant
According to many experts, the advantage of using saline-based implants is that it causes lesser scars compared to the use of silicone-based breast implants. It is because of this that many women have chosen to undergo a saline-based implant other than a silicone-based implant. However, there are several disadvantages of using a saline-based implant.
History
Saline-based breast implants was firs manufactured by the Laboratoires Arion Company, in France, and was introduced for use as a medical device in 1964. According to historians, the first saline-based implants were made with thicker, room-temperature vulcanized (RTV) shells made of a silicone elastomer.
However, a number of problems had risen with the use of these types of saline-based implants, in which these are very susceptible to deflation or leakage, which made it a second choice for implants.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantage of using a saline-based breast implant according to many experts is that it can yield good-to-excellent results of breast size, contour, and feel compared to silicone-based breast implants. And compared to the use of silicone-based implant is that it produces smaller incision. This is because the process only involves emplacing an empty breast-implant device then inflating it with saline-based solution.
However, compared to silicone-based breast implants, the saline implant is likelier to cause cosmetic problems such as rippling, wrinkling, and being noticeable to the eye and to the touch.
Silicone-Based Implant
Many breast enlargement Philippines experts, such as those from ENHANCEMENTS, have said that the best and safest implant used for breast enlargement is the silicone-based breast implant.
Advantage of Silicone-Based Breast Implants
According to experts, the Fifth and latest generation of silicone-based breast implants is made of a semi-solid gel that mostly eliminates filler leakage (silicone gel bleed) and silicone migration from the breast to elsewhere in the body.
According to
cosmetic surgery Philippines, the use of silicone-based implants had significantly dropped the incidence of capsular contracture and of device-shell rupture, improved medical safety and technical efficacy greater than earlier generations of breast implant device.
