Breast Implants

Virtually all breast implants are made of a round or shaped silicone elastomer (rubber) shell, and are now commonly filled with a saline solution (salt water). Saline solution is used to fill the implant because it is similar to the fluids in your body, and will be absorbed by your body should the implant leak or break.

Your plastic surgeon can provide you with information that fully explains the risks and complications associated with breast implants and the surgery itself.
