In
the United States the two major companies that manufacture
breast implants are McGahan and Mentor.
Both companies offer a variety of different breast implants:
- Oval
Shaped with smooth surface
- Round
shaped with a smooth or textured breast
implants siltex surface
- Expandable
adjustable breast implants
The
expansion-augmentation of the breast is a
technique for enlargement of the female breast
that boasts several unique advantages over the
standard augmentation method. These
breast implants were designed by Dr. Hilton
Becker originally as a reconstructive device.
There
has been so much controversy in the last two
decades pertaining to the silicone filled breast
implants, that this section could turn intro an
extremely long and tedious read.
What is valid is the alarm it awoke in
even the most skeptical person.
Now that the Internet era is in full
swing, more and more anti-breast implants sites
are popping up.
Silicone sensitivity may be a problem with some patients, just as one may be sensitive to latex, nut oils or eucalyptus. However, there are far too many happy women with NO complaints whatsoever with implants in, for over two decades. According to the USFDA (Food and Drug Administration), there is no conclusive evidence regarding illnesses and silicone.
There are two types of silicone breast implants:
1) Silicone gel breast implants
2) Cohesive gel breast implants

Anatomic Breast Implants
There are plastic surgeons that
believe that these breast implants give a more natural look
because they are shaped in the form of a tear, imitating
the natural breast.
Textured
These
breast implants were developed to reduced the chance of
capsular contracture and promote tissue adherence.
They
were developed to reduce the chance of capsular
contracture(the hardening of the breast), and promote
tissue adherence, which may help maintain proper implant
positioning.
Because they are shaped in the form of a tear, they are commonly referred to as teardrop breast implants. However, studies have shown they are same as the round breast implants. The anatomic breast implants might be a better choice for a patient who has completely flat breasts or that has no breast shape at all. However, because the anatomic breast implants are textured, they might have a firmer feel, but at the same time might have a higher chance of rippling.
Rippling is the effect that is sometimes noticeable, where the skin seems to be actually rippling as a direct consequence of the breast implants, due to various reasons. It might be because of the tightness of the chest, because of the shape of the breast implants, or just because some patients are more prone than others to develop rippling. Again, this subject would be better discussed once the patient is undergoing the initial consultation with a Plastic Surgeon.
