A breast implant consists of silicone elastomer casing or envelope that these days are usually filled with saline (salt water). Silicone gel implants are still available but are usually reserved for patients that cannot tolerate saline implants or that require associated breast lifting.

Not only are there choices in fillers, but the casing that houses the implant can also vary. The surface may be rough or smooth, and interact differently with the tissue around the implant. Capsule formation is a normal body reaction, which occurs around any non-bodily tissue, such as a hip prosthesis, an artificial heart valve or even a splinter in the skin. With breast implants the capsule sometimes contracts after it forms, resulting in a hard and painful breast. A smooth or rough surface implant may reduce the incidence of capsular contracture in different patients. We will help you decide which type of implant is best for you.
