Q.What kind of breast enlargment surgery gives results closest to natural appearance and feel?

Your best chances for natural looking breast augmentation results are by means of silicone implants placed under the muscle using a duel plane technique.
Q.What’s the age requirements for breast implants?
A. Breast implant regulations can vary state to state; but in general patients can get saline breast implants at 18 years of age. Patients must be 22 years of age in order to get silicone implants. This age restriction was placed by the FDA upon the most recent approval by the FDA regarding silicone breast implants.
Q.What are the long term risks of getting breast implants?
A. Patients who receive breast implants have a 1 in 5 chance of additional breast surgery. Repeat surgery most often includes implant exchange, implant removal, pocket revision, breast lift, capsular contraction and removal of leaking saline implants. Breast implants are not intended as a lifetime device and , as recommended by most manufacturers, should be replaced every ten years.
