Your Breast Implant Options at SVIA

Whether you're seeking a dramatic transformation or subtle enhancement, our expert surgeons will help you choose the implant type that best suits your aesthetic goals, body type, and lifestyle.

Natrelle® Saline and Silicone Breast Implants

Natrelle implants are a trusted name in breast augmentation, offering versatility and customization to suit your unique needs. You have two options with Natrelle:

Saline Implants: These implants feature a silicone shell filled with a sterile saltwater solution, offering a firmer feel and the ability to adjust the size during surgery. Natrelle saline implants are FDA-approved for women aged 18 and older and are an excellent choice for those seeking a cost-effective option with reliable results.
Silicone Implants: Designed for a soft, natural feel, Natrelle silicone implants use cohesive silicone gel to replicate the texture and movement of natural breast tissue. These implants are FDA-approved for women aged 22 and older and are ideal for patients seeking a balanced, natural-looking result.

Sientra® Cohesive Silicone Gel Implants (“Gummy Bear” Implants)

Sientra’s cohesive gel implants, often called "gummy bear" implants, are celebrated for maintaining their shape while delivering a natural look and feel. Here are the benefits of this implant option:

These implants use a highly cohesive silicone gel that retains its form, even if the outer shell is compromised, providing added peace of mind
The unique gel consistency mimics natural breast tissue, creating a soft yet stable shape that resists wrinkling and rippling
Sientra implants are an excellent option for patients seeking long-lasting results with minimal risk of complications

Motiva® Breast Implants

Motiva Implants have transformed breast augmentation by merging advanced technology with a focus on patient needs. Recently approved by the FDA in the United States, these implants are backed by over 20 years of innovation and are trusted by patients and surgeons in more than 86 countries. Motiva is created with safety and aesthetics in mind and offers a refined solution designed to meet your individual goals, which is why we’re ecstatic to provide these implants at SVIA.

Available in two distinct styles and three projection options—Mini, Demi, and Full—Motiva Implants provide a highly customizable approach to help you achieve your desired look.

Motiva SmoothSilk® Round

Benefits of Saline Implants

Saline implants offer several unique advantages, beginning with their ability to be filled after placement. This characteristic allows for smaller incision sizes than silicone implants, making them less invasive. Additionally, surgeons can accurately adjust the amount of saline during the procedure, ensuring optimal symmetry between the breasts.

Another benefit of saline implants is their safety and detectability in the event of a rupture. Since the implant is filled with a sterile saltwater solution, any leakage is harmlessly absorbed by the body. Ruptures are also easily noticeable due to a sudden change in breast size, which allows for prompt attention. Furthermore, saline implants are associated with a lower risk of infection, providing added peace of mind for patients.

Optimizing Saline Implants for a Smooth, Natural Appearance

Saline implants are often viewed as having a less natural appearance and feel compared to silicone implants, which can be a concern for some patients. Additionally, because the saline solution is in liquid form, these implants can be more susceptible to rippling, particularly in individuals with thinner breast tissue.

However, the likelihood of visible rippling can be minimized by ensuring that the implants are filled to the recommended levels and by placing them beneath the chest muscle during the procedure. These steps can help create a smoother and more natural appearance, addressing some common concerns about saline implants.

Breast Implant Incision Options

At our practice, breast augmentations are typically performed using the inframammary incision technique, chosen for its versatility and patient-friendly benefits. This incision is made along the natural crease beneath the breast, providing several key advantages. The resulting scar is discreetly hidden within the breast fold, making it less noticeable. This approach is also highly adaptable, as it can accommodate implants of any size and provides the surgeon with direct access to the placement site, allowing for precise results. Additionally, patients often experience a relatively quick recovery period with this incision type.

Breast Implant Placement Options

Breast implants can be positioned in one of two locations: above the chest muscle (subglandular) or beneath the muscle (subpectoral). At our practice, subpectoral placement is often preferred, as it tends to produce more natural-looking results. The ideal placement for each patient depends on their anatomy, the amount of existing breast tissue, skin elasticity, and the desired aesthetic outcome. During your consultation, our team will evaluate these factors and help determine the placement option that best aligns with your goals.
