You have decided to have augmentation surgery performed. This is great; you're on the road to having an entirely new you. Now that you decided to have surgery done have you had a chance to decide about the remaining options? You may think it's a simple as do I want to surgery or not or whether you want silicone or saline, but there is more to it than that. There are lots of decisions that she willing to make between now and the time that your surgery is scheduled. Don't worry, you'll have the assisting suggestions of your surgeon, but you need to be aware of what your breast implant options are so that you can make an informed decision.

The biggest option in the breast implant game is, of course, saline or silicone. These are the two types that are available on the market today. They are the only ones so far that are approved by the FDA. These both have pros and cons, so you will need to weigh them carefully before you make your decision. The biggest complaint about the silicone inserts are that a leak they can be toxic to your system. They do however give you the most natural feel and rupture is not as common as you may be led to believe. The FDA is considering a cohesive version that has a slighter risk of rupture.

Whether to use silicone versus saline is not the only decision you must make. There is also the breast implant surface. Each of these inserts, no matter if you're choosing saline or silicone, come in an elastomer envelope. This envelope can be either smooth or textured. Of course, as with anything, there are pros and cons such as the Smith shall is thinner but it is less likely to ripple. As the name implies it is smooth to the touch. The textured shell has a feel to it like sandpaper, that is thicker. Unfortunately if they start out with a smaller size to begin with, fixed texture may be felt through the skin.

Also things that you must consider before your breast implant: do you want a round one or a contoured one? The current word is more of a natural shape and is often called an anatomical shaped insert. This will give you a more natural look and feel and will make it less obvious that you had any work done. The round shape will give you a more rounded look. The good thing about the round shape is that should it accidentally flip over, it will not be noticeable. If the contoured actually flips over it will be noticeable.

There are lots of options to consider when choosing breast implants. Not only do you have to decide whether you want textured versus Smith, Brown versus contoured, or saline versus silicone, you also need to know how you want to look in the end. Your physician should be able to assist you with all of these positions.
