A breast implant is a silicone shell filled with a saltwater solution known as saline or with silicone gel. If the implant leaks, the saline is absorbed into the body. This is the same as if the saline were given as an IV fluid. The method of inserting and positioning an implant is dependent upon factors based on the patient's anatomy that are discussed with your doctor at the time of the consultation.

The incision can be placed in a number of different locations and every effort is made by your doctor to assure that the incision is placed so the resulting scars will be as inconspicuous as possible. After the incision is made, a pocket is created either under the breast tissue or under the pectoralis muscle. This pocket is made just large enough to accommodate the implant. The implant is then positioned to give the best cosmetic result.

Following surgery, detailed instructions are given to the patient as to postoperative care and activity. All information regarding implants is discussed with the patient at the time of surgery.
