The huge breast
implants
Many women undergoing
breast augmentation surgery receive huge breast implants, which
consist of a silicone rubber shell filled with sterile saline (salt
water). These implants have been used successfully in thousands of
women for over thirty years.
Newer types of huge breast implants called cohesive gel implants are
now available through special access.
Although rare, problems
can occur with breast implants such as deflation or hardening (capsular
contracture). It is important that you understand the risks as well
as the benefits of breast augmentation. These issues will be
discussed with you during your consultation. |
