Benefits of Breast Augmentation in Andover, MA
There are loads of reasons why undergoing breast augmentation is a great option. The two most common reasons are to enhance your current breast size and to rejuvenate the appearance of your breasts. If you're dissatisfied with the look and feel of your breasts, whether it's due to pregnancy, aging, or weight loss, check out the potential benefits that go along with the procedure.
Types of Breast Implants
Here at Andover Plastic Surgery, we pride ourselves on offering several options so that every patient can find exactly what they need. For that reason, we have a variety of types of breast implants that can be used for an augmentation procedure.
Saline vs. Silicone
While both of these types have a silicone casing, the inside is filled with either saline or more silicone. The substances differ in texture, weight, thickness, and appearance.
Your goals with augmentation surgery will help dictate which is best for you. In general, silicone tends to look and feel more like natural breast tissue, while saline allows for more precise filling, giving you the exact size of breasts you want.
Sientra Implants
Also called "gummy bear" implants, this option is filled with a gel-like substance that is available in a range of sizes and shapes, helping you achieve the precise look you want. This is a fairly new option and must be done by a certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Chatson. Sientra implants are the only type available that offers a round base, which is especially appealing to patients, as it's easier to match the implant shape to individual body type.
