First, some background. Breast implants are available in both round and tear drop shapes and each type can have either a smooth or rough (textured) outer surface (Figure 1). The material inside the implant, either saline water or silicone gel, have both been proven safe after decades of investigation and are not in question. However, […]

What are shaped breast implants? Shaped breast implants, also known as anatomic or tear-drop implants, have an asymmetric shape with a round base that tapers to a thin top (Figure 1). They are designed to mimic the natural downward slope of the upper breast while providing sufficient volume in their lower portion to enlarge it.

There are two groups interested in arm lifts: young massive weight loss patients and generally thin, older women who have more wrinkles and skin texture issues rather than lots of hanging skin. In both cases skin removal or skin tightening comes at the cost of a long scar on the inner arm. Older patients exhibit better scar quality because their immune systems are not as reactive. Their scars get thinner and whiter quicker. The scars can be artistically positioned on the inner back corner of the arm, not visible from behind and barely so from the front. Only arms raised overhead fully reveals the scars. Regrets are virtually unheard of.

These two patients are typical of long term results with saline implants. Saline and silicone look the same but feel different. The potential for visible ripples is the most common criticism of saline implants but this is a rare occurrence in young patients who typically have tight skin. As stated, these devices are not for everyone but those who are candidates benefit from their durability and reduced potential for long term shape change commonly seen with silicone.
