http://brignonimd.com/placing-silicone-breast-implants-vs-saline-breast-implants/ Florida cosmetic surgeon, obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Anthony Brignoni explains the difference in placing silicone breast implants vs. saline breast implants. <br /><br />The biggest variance is the method by which the implants are placed: both are placed in a pocket created behind the breast muscle. <br /><br />But the saline breast implant is able to go in through a smaller incision because the saline implant is not filled until it is inserted. When it's in place a saline solution fills it like a water balloon. <br /><br />The silicone implant is placed inside the breast but it is already filled with silicone gel so it requires a larger incision. However, there is a new Kennel funnel that allows the breast implant to be slid in through a smaller incision. It costs a little bit more but it will be able to be placed. <br /><br />Contact Dr. Anthony Brignoni at DrBrignoni@BrignoniMD.com You can find out everything you need to know and have a personal consultation to get answers to your cosmetic surgery questions.
