The Latest Buzz About Breast Implants, Part 1
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures done in the United States, with 300,000 women undergoing the procedure just last year. So why is it so popular and what’s all the buzz in the media about? Are saline implants safer than silicone gel implants or vice versa? How does a patient find out the straight scoop? 

Mothers make up a large part of our practice. We see young mothers with babies and older mothers sending their children off to college or for their first real job. Some come in for “Mommy Makeovers” to help their tummies and post-pregnancy breasts bounce back.

Silicone implants made by the French company, Poly Implant Prothese have been recalled and the French government has recommended their removal from patients. 
In researching breast augmentation, some women come to a screeching halt when investigating implants, their thoughts punctuated by questions like: What type of implant should I get, silicone gel or saline? Which one is better? Which is safer?
