Breast Implant Choices

New Silicone Gel Implants

The FDA recently approved a new generation of silicone gel breast implants. Now women have more options than ever before in choosing a comfortable, safe, natural-looking implant for breast enlargement.

More Choices Equals Better Results

The result of almost two decades of research with surgeons and patients, MemoryGel^TM implants feel more like natural breast tissue. MemoryGel^TM implants are made of a gelatin-like substance that holds together uniformly while still retaining the natural feel of breast tissue.

Silicone or Saline: What's best for me?

There are a number of differences between silicone gel and saline breast implants, as evidenced in the chart below. Once you have decided on either silicone or saline, there are also a number of options in size and profile. We are available to help you make the choice that is right for you. Please feel free to contact us at any time to discuss your breast enlargement options.
