One common misconception that getting breast implants is simply putting a cup in the breast. There are many factors to consider, such as the material and type of the implant.
1. Saline breast implants have an outer silicone shell filled sterile salt water. They are inserted empty and then filled once they are in place. If the implant ruptures, the saline implant will deflate and the leaking saline solution will be absorbed and naturally expelled by the body without posing any health risks.
2. Silicone breast implants also have an outer silicone shell but these are pre-filled with silicone gel. The silicone gel is a thick, sticky fluid that closely mimics the feel of human fat, making them look and feel like natural breasts. If the implant ruptures, the Silicone implant does not collapse because any free silicone tends to remain trapped in the fibrous tissue that forms around the implant. In the case where the silicone leaks, although it is not thought to cause any long-term health problems, it might eventually cause breast pain or changes in the contour or shape of the breasts. In this case, it is recommended that you consult your doctor.
The above are only a few selected types of breast implants to choose from, but keep in mind that there are more specific types, like gummy bear, round, smooth or textured implants, that you should consult your doctor about. Based on individuals' breast anatomy, body type and other factors, one type of implant may be more suitable than another for optimal cosmetic result, so consulting a surgeon about the details would be a wise choice.
