Breast augmentation has emerged as a popular cosmetic procedure among women nationwide who seek to enhance their breast size, shape, or symmetry. Dr. Esmailian, a renowned plastic surgeon, specializes in breast augmentation procedures and utilizes the latest techniques and technologies to ensure optimal patient outcomes. As a testament to his commitment to patient safety and satisfaction, Dr. Esmailian offers silicone breast implants in Orange County, which are FDA-approved and known for their natural look and feel.

What Are Silicone Breast Implants?

Silicone breast implants are a medical device used for breast augmentation or reconstruction. They consist of a silicone outer shell filled with a silicone gel, closely resembling the feel of natural breast tissue. These implants come in different shapes, sizes, and textures to suit individual body types and aesthetic preferences. Surgery typically places them under the breast tissue or the chest muscle.

Many women choose silicone implants for breast augmentation due to their natural look and feel. The gel used in these implants is made of an inert polymer that is unknown to cause sensitivities, reactions, or allergies in humans. The molecules of this polymer are interconnected, much like a piece of gummy bear candy, which helps the implants maintain their shape. Silicone implants are less likely to ripple or wrinkle than saline implants.

Although there have been concerns about the safety of silicone implants in the past, extensive research and clinical studies have shown that they are safe and effective for breast augmentation.

Different Types Of Silicone Breast Implants

Nowadays, silicone gel implants come in various cohesiveness levels to cater to different patient preferences

The Responsive gel, the most fluid silicone gel, provides the softest and most natural feeling result as it flows more easily.
The highly cohesive silicone implants, commonly known as gummy bear implants, are the stiffest form of silicone used in breast implants, referred to as the Cohesive gel. Gummy bear implants are often used for breast reconstruction due to their ability to maintain shape and minimize the risk of implant rupture.
The Soft Touch gel falls between the Responsive and Cohesive lines, providing a slightly firmer feel than the Responsive line but not as stiff as the Cohesive line. This makes the Soft Touch gel a suitable option for patients who desire a more natural feel than the Cohesive gel but do not want the high fluidity of the Responsive gel.

Why Women Choose Silicone Over Saline

When considering breast augmentation, many women choose silicone implants over saline for a variety of reasons:

One of the main reasons is that silicone implants have been shown to reduce the risk of post-operative complications, such as rippling and implant palpability. This is because silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel less likely to shift or move around inside the breast pocket.
Another advantage of silicone implants is that they look and feel more natural than saline implants. This is because the gel used in silicone implants is more consistent with biological breast tissue than the saline solution used in saline implants. As a result, silicone implants can provide a more realistic and aesthetically pleasing result.
Women also prefer silicone implants over saline due to improved manufacturing technology. The FDA has approved silicone implants for women aged 22 and above because they are more stable and durable. This is thanks to the cohesive gel used in their construction, which maintains its shape and integrity even if a rupture occurs. Patients can be confident that their implants will remain intact and maintain their desired shape for longer.

Custom-designed Silicone Breast Implant Surgery In Orange County

Every patient is unique, so Dr. Farbod Esmailian creates a customized breast augmentation plan for each patient. By creating these personalized treatment plans, Dr. Esmailian can provide his patients with the natural-looking, beautifully contoured breasts they desire.

Size

It is common for women to have one breast that is slightly larger than the other. For this reason, some women require implants of two different sizes to achieve a symmetrical result. The size of the implants that will provide you with the desired result depends on various factors, including your current breast size, personal goals, and Dr. Esmailian’s recommendations.

Profile

Dr. Farbod Esmailian will help you choose the profile that will give you optimal results. The profile he recommends is based on the proportions, goals, and volume you desire. A patient with a petite frame will need a higher-profile implant narrow enough at the base to attain pleasing results.

Shape

Traditional silicone gel breast implants are usually round. Gummy bear breast implants are available in a variety of shapes. A round implant generally fills out the upper portion of the breast, whereas a shaped breast implant offers a gently sloping look to the breast profile. When placed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Esmailian, round and teardrop-shaped breast implants can look natural.

Incisions

Dr. Farbod Esmailian can create several different kinds of incisions to insert silicone breast implants during surgery. The incision he recommends is based on the type of implant the patient chooses, the size of the implant, and the patient’s physical characteristics. Incision options include transaxillary (armpit), periareolar (along the interior edge of the base of the nipple), inframammary (at the breast crease), and transumbilical (through the navel).

Silicone Implant Placement Options

A silicone breast implant can be placed Subpectorally (behind the muscle) or Subglandularly(in front of the muscle). If the implant is placed Subglandularly, it rests in a pocket beneath the breast tissue.

If it is placed Subpectorally, the implant rests in a pocket created beneath the tissue and pectoral muscle of the breast. Dr. Esmailian helps determine the best implant placement for each patient based on her unique physical characteristics.

Type Of Silicone Gel

Patients can choose from 3 silicone gel types: Responsive (Type 1), Soft Touch (Type 2), and Cohesive (Type 3). Responsive is very soft and provides a natural look and feel, while Soft Touch is slightly firmer and camouflages the implant better. Cohesive is the firmest gel, reducing rippling in thin patients while providing a more rounded look and upper pole fullness.
