What Are Permanent Breast Implants?

Permanent breast implants are designed to provide a lasting solution for individuals seeking to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of their breasts. These implants are made from durable, high-quality materials, such as silicone or saline, that are engineered to maintain their form and integrity over time. Unlike temporary fillers or non-surgical options, permanent breast implants offer a more substantial and enduring enhancement, creating a fuller, more youthful breast contour that stands the test of time.

Silicone vs. Saline Implants

Silicone Implants

These implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that more closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. They are less likely to ripple and are a preferred choice for many due to their natural look and feel. However, they require a slightly larger incision for placement and regular monitoring to ensure integrity.

Saline Implants

Filled with sterile salt water, these implants can be adjusted for size during surgery, offering more flexibility in achieving the desired outcome. They are less expensive than silicone implants and require a smaller incision. If a saline implant leaks, the body harmlessly absorbs the saline, making it easy to detect a rupture. However, they may feel less natural and are more prone to rippling.

Both types of implants have advantages and considerations, and the choice between them will depend on individual preferences, aesthetic goals, and Dr. Durkin’s recommendations based on your anatomy.

What to Expect: The Permanent Breast Implant Process

The process of receiving permanent breast implants in the Vero Beach & Pompano Beach area at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery is designed to ensure your comfort and satisfaction from start to finish.

Once your consultation is complete, you can generally expect the following from the process:

  • Anesthesia: The procedure begins with administering anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the surgery.
  • Incisions: Dr. Durkin will make carefully planned incisions in inconspicuous locations, such as the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit, to minimize visible scarring.
  • Implant Placement: Depending on your anatomy and desired outcome, the chosen implants are inserted either above or below the chest muscle.
  • Reshaping and Adjusting: The implants are carefully positioned to achieve the desired shape, size, and symmetry, ensuring a natural and balanced appearance.

Permanent Breast Implants Recovery & Results

After surgery, you can expect a carefully managed recovery process. Initially, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, typical side effects of the surgery. Our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and pain management techniques to ensure comfort. Most patients can resume light activities within the first week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to promote proper healing. 

If you need to stay for recovery, Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery offers luxurious overnight suites with supervised care to ensure your comfort and privacy during recovery. The final results will gradually emerge as the swelling subsides, revealing a fuller, more youthful breast contour. The effects of permanent breast implants are long-lasting, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced appearance for many years.
