What Are Saline Implants?
Saline implants are a breast augmentation option filled with sterile saltwater, offering adjustable sizes for personalized results. These implants are commonly chosen by transgender women and non-binary individuals as part of their gender-affirming journey.
Who Are Saline Implants For?
Saline implants are ideal for transgender women, non-binary individuals, and anyone seeking to enhance their chest size and shape. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and consult with a qualified surgeon to determine if saline implants align with their goals.
Benefits of Saline Implants
Saline implants offer several benefits:
Allow for adjustable sizes to achieve personalized results.
Provide a round and symmetrical appearance.
Are filled with a biocompatible solution, offering peace of mind in case of leakage.
Enhance confidence and align physical features with gender identity.
Procedure Details
The breast augmentation procedure with saline implants typically involves:
Consultation: Discussing goals, implant size, and placement options with your surgeon.
Surgery: Placing the implants through incisions (e.g., under the breast or around the areola), with the implants filled after insertion.
Post-Surgery Care: Following aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize complications.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from breast augmentation with saline implants includes:
Swelling and discomfort subsiding within 1-2 weeks.
Returning to light activities after a few days, with full recovery taking 4-6 weeks.
