Dr. Larson uses multiple types of implants for patients interested in breast augmentation in Tucson. Currently, there are 4 types of implants: silicone, saline, gummy bear silicone, and Ideal implants (which are also saline).
Implants made of silicone tend to look and feel like natural breast tissue and are associated with a very organic outcome. However, they also require a larger incision because they are placed pre-filled.
Saline breast implants contain a saltwater solution. They are placed in the chest empty and then filled to the desired size. However, they do ripple more often than silicone and gummy bear implants, which can be problematic for thin patients.
