While breast augmentation surgery was controversial as recently as 10 to 15 years ago, a decade of intense scientific scrutiny has led to much wider acceptance of the procedure.

Types of Breast Implants
Saline implants are silicone shells filled with sterile salt water transferred directly from IV solution bags, whereas silicone gel breast implants are filled with an elastic gel. Both saline and silicone gel breast implants are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This approval means that these breast implants have been rigorously researched and tested for safety. Saline breast implants are FDA approved for women 18 years of age or older, and silicone gel implants are FDA approved for women 22 years of age and older.

Dr. Zeff uses both silicone gel breast implants and saline breast implants at his plastic surgery center serving New Hampshire (NH), Maine, and surrounding areas. While saline implants are less expensive and require a smaller incision, gel breast implants generally look and feel more natural. Dr. Zeff is an experienced plastic surgeon who will discuss the differences between these types of breast implants in detail during your initial breast surgery consultation at our Stratham, NH location.
