You Have Two Choices When it comes to Breast Implants at the Swan Center

Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. John P. Connors III, reminds women in a recent press release that they have options when it comes to breast implants. “By having a choice, it ensures that you get the best possible results,” he says.

Before 2006, implants were limited to a saline solution because silicone was banned in the early 90s. After rigorous clinical testing, silicone was cleared for use in November 2006 as the previous health risks were debunked. 

Saline has a firmer feel and a smaller incision can be used because the implants are not filled until they are inserted. The silicone gel implants are pre-filled so the incision will be slightly larger. These most closely simulate the real feel of a breast especially if you have don’t have much natural breast tissue.

No matter which type is used, Atlanta plastic surgeon, Dr. Connors, sees the benefits of breast augmentation every day. “Increasing bust size or correcting asymmetrical breasts can make a woman much more confident and help her feel better about her body,” he says.

Dr. Connors is experienced in using both types of breast implant. Atlanta patients benefit from a thorough evaluation to determine which one offers the best results for their body type. He performs the procedure in the accredited surgical suites of the Swan Center for Plastic Surgery. The equipment is state-of-the-art and the staff is always seeking new and better ways to perform surgical procedures.
