BREAST AUGMENTATION EXPLAINED
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular and satisfying procedures in cosmetic surgery.
We employ the most modern approach to breast augmentation using either saline or silicone implants, which is determined after a detailed consult with the patient regarding size, shape, and contour. We also perform an examination, which gives us a detailed analysis of the patient’s current chest size, the amount of breast tissue present, skin elasticity, and the three-dimensional appearance of the breast.
The final decision is made in the operating room by examining the size, shape and slope of the breast implant from every angle. It is only after this meticulous process that we achieve the patient’s desired results!

Which kind of implant should I choose — Saline or Silicone?
This choice is best determined after a consultation with Dr. Matlock and his trusted partner in plastic surgery.
Saline
Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater. They are inserted into the breast empty and filled once properly placed to the desired size. The leading benefit to a saline breast implant is the lack of complications should a rupture occur.
Silicone
Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel that is more cohesive than saline and is designed to stay in place if the implant ruptures. In selected patients, silicone implants may be a superior choice.
If you are considering getting silicone implants, you should be aware that the current guidelines require that you must be at least 22 years old. Also, current guidelines recommend screening MRI examinations every two years, which may not be covered by insurance.
Cosmetic surgeons undergo special training to use silicone implants.

Where are the incision marks placed for the implant?
Breast augmentation can be performed through the nipple, the armpit, underneath the breast, or through the belly button.
The implant can be placed under the muscle, above the muscle or in a “dual,” or double, plane. Implants can contain saline or silicone. Our preferred technique is insertion through the nipple or under the breast, with placement in a dual plane, using a silicone implant. The technique used will vary based on the individual and can only be determined after a full consultation.
