[Breast Augmentation:Mammoplasty] Types of Implants Used for Breast Augmentation

The implant material for breast augmentation can be sorted by the shape, and the material it is made with.




At Migo, we use two main types of materials, which are cohesive gel bag, and saline solution bag.

Cohesive gel implants are an improved version of liquid silicone implant. This material feels and moves very much like natural breasts. It can be safely removed in case of rupture, or breakage.



Saline water implants are made with silicone exterior filled with sterile salt water. It is bio compatible and safe, but the texture and shape won't be as realistic as cohesive gel implants.

When it comes to shape, you can choose between round and teardrop shaped implants. Round shape implants come in both "smooth" and "textured" exteriors, but teardrop implants only come in "textured" exterior. It is best to choose the one that is most compatible to you, considering  the body condition.







You can also choose the texture of the implants. In terms of textures, the implants can be categorized as"smooth" and "textured" types. 


At Migo, we allow the patients to have a look, touch, and feel the implant materials themselves, so that the patients can have a choice. Our surgeon will work with the patient to help them choose the best material for each patient.
