Based near Orlando, Florida, the Aesthetic Surgery Centre always provides the highest quality in customer service, surgical techniques and procedures. Part of what sets the Aesthetic Surgery Centre apart is their consistent attention to detail, including staying current with advancing technology and materials used in the implants themselves. There are two primary types of breast implants, saline-filled and silicone-gel-filled implants.

Saline Implants

Saline implants are currently the most common type used in breast enhancement surgery. They have a silicone elastomer shell filled with a sterile saline (salt water) liquid. These popular implants are not pre-filled. Instead, they are filled with a valve after being placed in the breast pocket. Since the implants are empty when they are surgically inserted, the incision size needed can be smaller than is usually necessary for silicone gel implants, which are filled with silicone before the surgery is performed. Saline implants are approved for breast augmentation in women 18 years or older and for breast reconstruction in women of all ages.

Silicone Gel Implants

Silicone gel implants have a silicone shell, which is pre-filled with a viscous silicone gel. In November of 2006, the FDA approved the new and improved cohesive silicone gel-filled breast implants for both breast reconstruction and augmentation. Cosmetic use of these implants is available to women 22 years or older. Over a million women around the world have already received these innovative silicone implants. Cohesive gel implants are available in varying degrees of firmness accommodating the different needs of patients. The word “cohesive” is a new term being used to describe the nature of the fill. However, this is not new science or new technology. Cohesive is simply a word being used to help describe the “sticking together” nature of the gel. The gel filler acts as a solid unit rather than a liquid, holding together uniformly, while retaining the natural “give” that resembles actual breast tissue. Because of his expertise, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani has the distinction of being part of the first group of surgeons in the United States able to perform primary breast augmentations using silicone implants.

The surgical procedure for breast augmentation takes approximately one to two hours. Although initial soreness is to be expected, most patients are up and around within 24 to 48 hours.
